Kurzweil MPS M1 Overview
88-Key Portable Piano with Inspiring Sound and Feel of Italian-Made FATAR Keybed
Combining an 88-key Italian FATAR TP110, fully weighted, hammer-action keyboard with the realistic sound of a German D 9' Concert Grand, 256 voices of polyphony, and an intuitive control panel with OLED display, the Kurzweil MPS-M1 Portable Digital Piano delivers a heightened playing experience for pianists performing at home or live in front of an audience. Piano string and damper resonance are paired with key-off samples and a 48W, 4-speaker sound system, to deliver a true and immersive piano sound. A collection of 50 varied instrument sounds with adjustable reverb, 10 onboard drum rhythms over which you can practice, Layer and Split modes to combine sounds, two headphone jacks, 1-track song recorder, Bluetooth music streaming, and USB audio/MIDI interface for connecting to a Mac/Windows computer make the MPS-M1 ideal for pianists seeking a rewarding musical experience.
To complement a range of home dcors, the MPS-M1's space-saving design can be enhanced with the addition of an ST-5 three-pedal keyboard stand (available separately) with half-damper support for enhanced expressivity in a more permanent setup.
