Kawai VPC1 MIDI piano controller

Kawai VPC1 MIDI piano controller

Kawai VPC1 is a professional 88-key wooden keyboard MIDI controller designed to control virtual piano software with the most realistic acoustic touch possible. The instrument does not have an internal sound engine or speakers; sound is produced by a virtual instrument on a computer, an audio interface, and monitors or headphones.

RM3 Grand II wooden keyboard

Each key is crafted from solid wood and pivots on a balance point just like an acoustic grand piano key. Graded hammers, triple sensors, let-off simulation, Ivory Touch surface, and counterweights in the bass register provide nuanced dynamics and precise note control.

Optimized for virtual pianos

The VPC Editor software allows you to adjust touch curves, individual key sensitivity, and MIDI settings. Pre-configured touch curves for popular virtual piano software help establish consistent dynamics between the program and the keyboard.

Simple studio integration

USB-MIDI and standard MIDI connections integrate the VPC1 with computers, digital audio workstations, and external sound modules. The minimal design of the top panel keeps the focus on the performance, while the triple pedal unit (GFP-30/F-30 type) provides damper, sostenuto, and soft pedal functions.
