The MP6 from Kawai is a fully featured and portable, four-zone MIDI controller and stage piano. Its 88-keys utilize the company's Responsive Hammer action with Let-off, while the sounds are generated using Progressive Harmonic Imaging.
A built-in recorder allows for recording up to ten songs utilizing any of the 256 sounds available, while 192-note polyphony means that even dense passages do not trigger muted voices. A sustain pedal and music rack are included.
