Welcome to the MP6
Thank you for purchasing the KAWAI MP6. The MP6 Stage Piano features 256
Internal Sounds of the highest quality. The MP6 can also be used as a MIDI master
controller. On stage, at home, or in the studio, the MP6 has been designed to
offer quick and easy access to many sophisticated features.
Overview of Features
ACOUSTIC PIANO TOUCH
The MP6's Responsive Hammer action features a realistic weight-graded
keyboard with Ivory Touch surfaces and authentic Let-off mechanism to satisfy
the expectation of even the most discerning pianist.
4 ASSIGNABLE ZONES
The MP6 keyboard can be divided into 4 zones, with each zone able to play
internal sounds, external MIDI devices, or both types simultaneously. Zones can
be played individually, or freely split, layered and velocity switched to create
stunning personalized performances.
256 INTERNAL SOUNDS, 256 SETUPS
The MP6 offers not only acoustic and electric piano sounds, but also other
sounds such as organ, brass, pads, and so on. All the settings for these sounds
together with the settings to control external devices can be stored into 256
setups. User setups and sounds can also be saved to USB memory using the USB
to Device connection.
REVERB AND EFFECTS
The MP6 offers 7 high quality REVERB types, and 23 different EFFECT types to
improve acoustical realism and enhance tonal quality.
The MP6 is also equipped with an Amp Simulator which reproduces the sound,
response, and overdrive characteristics of a typical amp/speaker combination
used with electronic keyboards.
RECORDER AND USB CONNECTIVITY
The MP6’s internal recorder allows up to 10 different songs to be recorded,
stored in internal memory, and played back at the touch of a button. The MP6 is
also equipped with both USB to Host and USB to Device connectors.
The USB to Host connector allows MIDI data to be sent and received to and from
a computer, while the USB to Device connector allows sound, setup, and song
data to be conveniently stored on a USB memory device. SMF songs and MP3 or
WAV audio can also be recorded and played back directly from the instrument.
