The Kurzweil CUP-2 Compact Upright Digital Piano offers a contradiction that most players will surely welcome - a top of the line, powerful sound system in what seems to be an impossibly small, discreet enclosure. Using the same chip technology as Kurzweil's acclaimed PC3 series, the CUP-2 brings professional studio sound quality into your home. The CUP-2's 88 onboard sounds have been taken directly from the PC3, and represent the best of nearly two decades of Kurzweil sound design and engineering.The famous Kurzweil Triple Strike Grand Piano is front and center (with a dedicated Grand Piano button), but the CUP-2 also provides world-class sounds in every category; rich strings and orchestral sounds, realistic electric pianos, drums, basses, guitars and synthesized sounds. While the CUP-2 leaves a very small footprint in any room, it can also fill any room, great or small, with spectacular concert hall sound quality with its 140-watt bi-amped speaker system, the same system used in Kurzweil's top-of-the-line X-Pro Upright.Keyboard: 88 Note fully-weighted, "wood embedded" graded hammer actionKeyboard Sensitivity: 10 selectable response levelsPolyphony: 64 voicePreset Programs: 88 Expressive sounds including award winning Triple Strike Grand Piano, all taken from the PC3Splits/Layers: Quick Split/Layer, easy access with adjustable relative volume Transpose: Full transposition to any key, +/- two octavesTune: Adjust by Cents (+/- 100 cents)Effects: Dual ambience and effect processors (reverberation and chorus).Drum Patterns: 78 pre-recorded interactive patterns in a variety of styles (incl. metronome)Recorder/Sequencer: 1-Track; 9 Song capacitySound System: 140-watt, 4-speaker, stereo sound systemAudio Outs: Stereo left/right RCA line outsAudio Ins: Stereo left/right RCA line insHeadphones: two 1/4" stereo headphone outsMIDI I/O: MIDI In and Out connectorsUSB: 1 port; "Plug and Play" USB functionality allows MIDI over USB for connecting to/from an external computer sequencer; no software driver needed Pedals: 3 built-in switch-type: sustain, sostenuto, softFinish: ebonyBench: Matching bench included Minimize

Evolution, not revolution: that's the concept behind the new MP10 Professional Stage Piano. Kawai took its predecessor's great interface and compact form, updated the keyboard action and sound technology, then added a host of modern new features to sweeten the deal. The result is a flexible stage piano that's ideal for gigging, with a solid, reliable action and an impressive selection of sounds.The MP10 features brand new acoustic and electric pianos that underscore a host of tonal improvements throughout the entire sound list. In addition to various sampled organ sounds, the MP10 now includes a tonewheel organ simulator, allowing you to dial-in your favorite drawbar positions, then switch on the new amp simulation and rotary speaker effects for that authentic vintage organ growl.Whether you're in the studio or out on the road, the MP10 is more than capable of meeting the master keyboard needs of a professional stage performer. Split the entire keyboard into four independent zones, then assign each one to play internal sounds, trigger external MIDI devices, or control both simultaneously. Adjust the levels and parameters for all four zones using realtime knobs and faders. Then, once you've found the perfect mix for each song, store the entire panel setup to one of the 256 internal memories (or a USB stick) and you're ready for the gig.So often stage pianos are let down by poorly designed keyboard actions prone to break downs. Not the MP10. Its Responsive Hammer action delivers a stunningly realistic piano playing experience, but it's also built to last. Structural reinforcements make RH the strongest, most rigid plastic action Kawai has ever developed, ensuring keys don't wobble around from side to side or crack under pressure when you're laying down the big chords. And, its Ivory Touch surface featured on this action as well, you can be confident that your fingers will remain firmly on the keys throughout even the most blistering runs.MP acoustic piano sounds: the Kawai EX concert grand pianoThe Kawai EX concert grand piano is widely regarded by many professional pianists and piano technicians as one of the finest instrument of its class. Hand-built by Kawai's distinguished Master Piano Artisans at the Shigeru Kawai Piano Research Laboratory in Ryuyo, Japan, each EX instrument undergoes a lengthy, meticulous process of regulation and refinement within a specially designed anechoic chamber. The completed EX piano then receives a final series of rigorous quality inspections before eventually taking its place in some of the world's most prestigious musical institutions and concert halls, and now your home.The beautiful sound of the EX grand piano is at the heart of the new MP10, with all eighty-eight keys of this world-class instrument painstakingly recorded, analyzed, and reproduced as high-fidelity digital waveforms.Recording each key individually in this wayas opposed to stretching the same tone over several different notesensures that the rich, harmonic character of the original EX grand piano is preserved, and guarantees that the sound heard when playing one of the MP10's keys is a faithful representation of the acoustic source.When playing the MP10, the amount of pressure applied to the keyboard affects both the volume of the sound produced and the unique tonal character of each note. In order to gather a realistic acoustic portrait of the EX grand piano, not only is each key recorded individually, but also captured at various different strengths ranging from gentle pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo. The new MP10 offers a highly detailed acoustic portrait, with smooth tonal transitions across the keyboard and throughout the dynamic range.MP keyboard actions: inspired by eight decades of acoustic piano excellenceEmbracing many of the long-established principles associated with an acoustic piano, the MP10's RM3 Grand keyboard action combines realistic materials, motion, and mechanism to recreate the exceptional touch of t Minimize

The Vienna Imperial virtual grand piano features the sound ... Read more

The Vienna Imperial virtual grand piano features the sound of the venerable Bsendorfer Imperial 290-755 that the Vienna team hosted at the Silent Stage for two months. It was equipped with the famed piano manufacturer's CEUS technology, which allowed for precise and extensive piano sample recordings. The 1,200 recorded samples per key represent a large magnitude of sampling detail.The innovative implementation of meticulously recorded pedal-up and pedal-down notes in up to 100 velocities, comprehensive sympathetic resonances, and multiple release samples help make the Vienna Imperial virtual instruments one of the most realistic sampled pianos ever created.No less importantly, the Vienna Imperial is easy to use. The Basic View of the user interface lets you choose between three recording positions (close, player, and audience). The Advanced View gives you quick-and-easy access to more control options such as convolution reverb, EQ, pedal noises, sympathetic resonances, stereo width, MIDI sensitivity, and more. But don't get fooled by the slick interfacelunder the hood is a proprietary piano engine that has been specifically designed to drive this massive amount of sample data and processing power.The Vienna Imperial Collection is not divided into Standard and Extended Sample Libraries like other Vienna Instruments Collections. The Standard package includes the full set of samples along with the software instrument/engine. The Library contains 500GB of uncompressed sample data in 44.1kHz/24-bit. Due to a specifically developed optimization process, the Vienna Imperial engine decompresses the samples in real time, so that they take up only 50GB of space on your hard disk.Product DetailsThe CEUS computer grand is capable of recording even the most subtle key movements and positions using microprocessors and highly sensitive optical sensors. It plays those recorded notes absolutely identically using solenoids installed under every key. Far exceeding the limits of any other system, the CEUS measures the velocity of the hammer on its way to the string just before striking it (a distance of just 0.15") with an accuracy of 0.0001 milliseconds, and even records and exactly reproduces the key movements after every strike.VelocitiesThe CEUS technology made it possible to exploit the velocity range of the MIDI protocol to an unprecedented degree. Up to 100 velocities were recorded per key and playing technique, i.e., with and without pressing the sustain pedal, and alternatively with the soft pedal down. There are simply no audible steps between the singular velocity layers, and every single key has its own authentic velocity curve. These precise recording techniques would have been impossible without Bsendorfer's CEUS technology. No human pianist, no matter how skilled, would be able to play 100 evenly spaced velocities from pianissimo to fortissimo, not to mention playing them consistently across all playing techniques such as sustain pedal or soft pedal down.Release SamplesBsendorfer's computerized grand also allowed for another innovationthe recording of perfectly timed release samples, depending on the length of the note played by the user. In particular, the releases of very short notes, with lengths between 100 and 1,000ms, were recorded in subtly gradated steps, because in this range the length of each held note mostly affects the volume and sound of the release. Therefore the Vienna Imperial can reproduce release sounds very authentically, most audibly when playing short staccatos in the lowest range.Sympathetic ResonancesThe virtual instrument's dedicated piano engine supports sympathetic string resonances. There are two variantssympathetic resonances of individual strings (pedal-up) and of all non-damped strings (pedal-down). The first case covers the overtone resonances of each individual string reacting to other keys being played. An algorithmic solution recreates what happens in a real piano, based on a bank of carefully tun Minimize
