The Kawai VPC1 Virtual Piano Controller Essentials Bundle is a B&H Kit that comes with everything you need to bring a more grand piano-like playing experience to your computer-based music production setup. The kit comes with the Kawai VPC1 Virtual Piano Controller, the Kawai F-20 Double Piano Pedal, a fixed height wood style piano bench and a table-style keyboard stand.
The VPC1 from Kawai simply does one thing; it provides a real grand piano keyboard experience in a USB/MIDI controller form. Features include graded hammer weighting, ivory-like key surfaces, let-off simulation, and bass note counterweights. Additionally, the controller includes a three-pedal unit that delivers damper (with half damper support), soft, and sostenuto pedal control. Aside from these functions, the controller presents a clutter free design, without any knobs, buttons, or faders, just a wide top surface for a laptop, mouse, or favorite semi-weighted keyboard.
Keyboard response curves are important for tailoring the feel of the piano keys across the entire range. Five built-in touch curves from a selection of popular virtual piano packages have been approved by the individual software developers, while further customization is available using the included editor software. Communication with a PC or Mac computer is provided via USB, which can also power the controller. For controlling external synthesizers or piano modules, MIDI in and out ports are also provided.
The black 18810 Omega Table-Style Keyboard Stand from K&M features steel-tube construction and large, round floor protectors that offers to make the keyboard stand more stable. This stand can be used to support keyboards with a maximum weight of 176.4 lbs. The two-sided, spring-loaded locking screws make height adjustments from 23.6 to 40.2" easy. The table can be folded flat for storage and transport. The 18810 Table-Style Keyboard Stand is equipped with two arms that can be adjusted to suit the size of most keyboards.
The black PBM-FF Metal Frame Piano Bench from Auray features a classic design that will support up to 300 lbs. It is built with a 2.5" padded leatherette seat that provides many hours of seated comfort and is durable for stage, studio, or home applications. Two height-adjustable feet offer extra stability to stablize the bench on uneven floors. A wrench is included for easy assembly.
