«  Excellent piano Stage monitors »

Published on 08/12/14 at 09:24
88 notes Responsive Hammer Action with Let-off ivory touch.
The connection is complete: a pair stereo output jack, pedals: damper, Expression, Foot Switch (assignable).
Pedal footswitch little start playing a mp3 or midi files.

256 sounds with harmonic enging: possible custom piano sound (resonance of the strings, voicing, let-off ...)

1 Amp Simulator keyboard easily deactivated
No aftertouch on the keyboard but can assign aftertouch to another controller (wheel, pedals ...)

UTILIZATION

Touch is excellent, there are different velocity curves including a user.

The MP6 is not only an excellent piano is also a full keyboard master. Divisible into 4 internal or external areas (or 2). It has many real-time controllers (4 + 4 slider assignable slider. Filter setting, shell effects and dosage selection midi controllers)

The layer mode has 4 layers very easy to program. The method differs from the sound mode, in that it allows you to edit the sounds without changing the original.

The big highlight for the effects: 4 effects processor (one for each sound), with 2 effects (reverb and modulation: chorus, flange, wah pedal with adjustable, delay, phaser etc ...) completely independent and adjustable independantly.

All the settings are easy to access and the many options

SOUNDS

Piano sounds are very realistic and adjustable in depth, one can easily get SOUND that you want. There is a very good dynamic
The electric pianos (Rhodes wulitzer, clavinet ...) are very expressive. Amp simulator is a real plus.
The DX has a little disappointed me, they are too numerous and quite banal. Yamaha is better in this area.

Other sounds are good, a bit string assembly below Yam but very playable.
A nice surprise for the bass. The guitars are very average. Several synth sounds used to make tablecloths interesting, especially playing with the effects of the 4 layers.
The organs are of good quality. A mode sets the harmonic drawbars and modified by the 4 sliders.
Choirs are to part with some jazz to Scat kurzweil.
The sax brass flute are great also.

You can adjust the dynamics of each layer of the layer 4 sounds.

KR Home studio said it had "MP6 was close to a workstation," which is true.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I am delighted. For 1050 euros is a steal. Its solid construction inspire confidence.

Cons:
- No aftertouch
- No sound or user setup available. We must crush the existing setups. Fortunately it is possible to load and save these sounds on a USB stick

This piano is a very good choice: piano sounds realistic and adjustable sound very "pro" and dynamic, excellent touch, a multitude of adjustment that make it a very good master keyboard (which has alone justifies its purchase ) and twelve o'clock mp3 wav player with ability to save his game to wav or mp3. Not to mention the entire section and quality.

Only one question remains: why is it so little known? Especially as the service responds very quickly to technical issues!
