Kawai VPC1 Virtual Piano Controller

Description

The team at Kawai has developed a professional MIDI keyboard controller for
virtual piano players. The VPC1 features Kawai’s celebrated wooden-key
keyboard action technology, giving your virtual with the expression and
performance of a real one. There are no knobs, buttons, or displays featured
on the VPC1, only 88 real wooden keys and a beautiful wide surface for your
laptop, mouse, or synth. The keyboard action for serious pianists: RM3 Grand
II delivers the most realistic playing experience ever found in a MIDI
controller. The VPC1 connects to your PC or Mac using a single USB cable, or
you can connect the VPC1 to your favorite synthesizer using MIDI connectivity,
or better yet even control both simultaneously. For even more realism, you can
take full advantage of your virtual piano’s stunning resonances and unlooped
sustain with the included Kawai F-30 triple pedal controller. Further
customize the VPC1 with new touch curves, adjust individual key velocities,
and setup preferred MIDI routing using the included VPC Editor software. This
is the ultimate controller for the professional virtual piano player.Great
sound means nothing without control.The keyboard action is the most important
part of a controller. It doesn’t matter how many gigabytes have been sampled,
or how advanced the modelled resonances are – if the controller’s action is
sub-par, the virtual piano just won’t feel satisfying to play.Fortunately, the
VPC1 is equipped with Kawai’s latest RM3 Grand II action, featuring our
trademark wooden keys and smooth, consistent movement. Unlike other
controllers, the VPC1 incorporates additional grand piano keyboard
characteristics, such as graded hammer weighting, ivory-like key surfaces,
let-off simulation, and bass note counterweights.These premium features
combine to recreate the exceptional touch of a fine concert grand, allowing
your favourite virtual pianos to finally feel as good as they sound.
