What's the in/outs on that Kawai? Is that just a midi keyboard?

It's strictly a MIDI keyboard.

How is the keybed in the Kawai?

Kawai VPC 1 is 3 Sensor, Weighted and Contender weight for better control. You can adjust the velocity of the foot pedal as well. The Fantom 8 keybed is absolutely incredible as well. Too bad they didn't put the same bed in the 6 and 7. But if stack the LIVE on top of any Fantom and you're rocking right.

Ih yeah l got to mess with the F8 and F7, that F8 feels so sweet, the F7 to me felt good too. Hell my Roland A30 feels dope. I be killin it wuth that.

After testing for months, theses are the one's that were on my radar. All other MIDI keyboard felt like toy, when it came to the action. I really don't need sliders, knobs, or sounds.

VPC1
MP11SE
Fantom 8
Nord Piano 4
Studiologic SL88
Kurzweil Forte 88
Casio Privia Pro PX-560

Pair the MPC Live with The ALPHA mPIANO

When l had the 88 key hammer action midi keyboard. So expressive.
I had a 49 key Fatar hammer action midi keyboard. It was the on one made like that. Back then l wanted the all the knobs to work now l wouldn't care.

Did you decide on one of them? And did you test the DAW integration the Fantom 8 allows? I haven't watched the YouTube vids on it yet.

KAWAI VPC 1 there are rumors about the KAWAI VPC 2 coming out. Not sure what they will address. However there is the RAVENWORKS Mod for the VPC 1. https://ravenworksdigital.com/ I don't need it but the option is there.

Nevertheless, any of those listed, just for keybed and feel would be a fantastic addition. The key is live testing.

Cool. I'll go to Guitar Center this week and take a look at each. I have an MPK 88 right now. Starting to get close to needing replaced.
