The most authentic keyboard, the most realistic sound, and the most articulate control. While others may claim to be ‘the best’, only one can be considered the most genuine.

Stunning acoustic pianos

A variety of beautiful concert, jazz, and pop grand pianos, and a full-bodied traditional upright – appropriately voiced and mic’d for a broad range of musical styles.

Enjoy playing the original sounds, or delve into the powerful Virtual Technician to adjust the piano beneath your fingertips.

The most authentic keyboard

The keyboard action for serious pianists who appreciate true expression: Grand Feel delivers the most authentic playing experience ever found in a stage piano.

The longest keys, the longest pivot, and crafted entirely from wood – three reasons why Kawai is the industry leader.

Vintage EPs

A treasure trove of authentic tine, reed, and modern electric pianos, crunchy clavs, and a striking electric grand – lovingly sampled to preserve their characteristics and imperfections.
Play them clean, or plug into over 100 different effects, each with a variety of fully tweakable parameters.

Inspiring Subsidiary Sounds

Studio quality strings, pads, basses, and other essential sounds suitable for creating splits, layering with acoustic pianos and EPs, or for simply playing solo.

Tweak each voice using comprehensive ADSR parameters, or fatten the overall sound with flexible parametric EQ.

Masterful MIDI control

Connect to a PC or Mac via USB, and to your favourite semi-weighted boards via standard MIDI, then control both simultaneously.

The MP11SE allows up to four MIDI channels to be controlled at the same time, each with their own custom key ranges and user-definable pedal and knob CC# assignments.

Accessible & Intuitive Panel

A large graphic LCD display, four assignable real-time control knobs, and a well organised, immediately usable panel interface.

Leave the manual at home and concentrate on playing, rather than trying to remember which button does what.

Generous Setup Memories

Store and recall every customised sound, knob position, fader level, and adjustable parameter at the touch of a button.

With over 200 setup memories, the MP11SE is ideal for busy stage musicians who like to plan several shows ahead, before going out on the road.

Quality design, materials & design

Elegantly finished wooden side panels, sleek gloss-black paintwork and a raised fallboard displaying the Kawai family name give the MP11SE a distinctly acoustic presence.

Its sturdy aluminium and steel chassis, and reinforced base reassures players that this instrument is built for the stage.

Pro-audio pedal & MIDI jacks

Connect directly to the house PA using pro-grade XLRs, and to personal monitors with the high quality Line Out jacks.

Enjoy realistic damper, sostenuto, and soft playing control, by connecting the included Kawai GFP-3 triple pedal unit, or assign a range of alternative functions to individual pedals.

Kawai RHIII Hammer Action

Class-leading keyboard

The class-leading Responsive Hammer III keyboard action recreates the touch of an acoustic grand, with realistic movement providing a smooth, natural playing experience.

Triple-sensor key detection, ivory-like surfaces, and authentic let-off simulation ensure the MP7SE performs like the real thing.

Vintage EPs

A treasure trove of authentic tine, reed, and modern electric pianos, crunchy clavs, and a striking electric grand – lovingly sampled to preserve their characteristics and imperfections.
Play them clean, or plug into over 100 different effects, each with a variety of fully tweakable parameters.

All new effects engine

The MP7SE’s powerful audio processor elevates sonic realism to another level with brand new, high resolution effects.

Apply richly modelled resonances to acoustic piano sounds, warm-up EPs with analogue-style amp sims, and recreate distinctive reverb environments – all at the touch of a button.

Classic Tonewheel organs

A brand new tonewheel organ simulation, complete with 9 real-time adjustable drawbars, direct panel percussion controls, and authentic chorus/vibrato.

Tweak the organ’s rotary speaker characteristics and use the MP7SE’s mixer faders to adjust onscreen drawbar registrations.

Powerful 4-Zone system

Four independently configurable zones for controlling internal sounds, external MIDI devices, or both at the same time.

Sturdy hardware level faders provide immediate control over rich multi-voice layers, while improved split functionality allows any zone to be effortlessly split, or assigned to a custom key range.

Studio quality strings, pads, basses, and other essential sounds suitable for creating splits, layering with acoustic pianos and EPs, or for simply playing solo.
