The True Keys American Grand comes in 2nd, for me. The Ivory II feels more like a genuine Steinway and I really appreciate what I can do with it. I had to hold back all the time and it was still too big. I had a Baldwin D and replaced it with a Steinway L, and I played a Steinway B frequently. I have pianoteq, which I loathe, and Ravenscroft, which is a bit much for me. MP11 might be a good option, but I bet I'd be checking out virtual pianos before long anyway. VPC1 is reasonably priced, has an action I love, and I can chase down the virtual piano I want to use with it. I keep expecting to hear news from Kawai, but there is none. I love my VPC1 and I also worry there will be a VPC2 and I'll have a hurt because of it. FWIW I decided to pay the difference for an MP11SE solely to get the Grand Feel action. The acoustic Kawai dealer near me does have a VPC1 and a MP11 which helped me. it's mostly to say that, if at all possible, find an acoustic Kawai dealer and find out if they have a VPC1 on the floor. OK, that probably doesn't help that much. However, I think that accomplished players can have strong opinions about key weight - even between high end acoustic grand pianos - and some would love the RM3 weight and others might not. There are plenty of accomplished players doing amazing things with the VPC1. My understanding is that the RM3 weight is within the range of weights found in acoustic grand pianos. The RM3 is indeed noticeably heavier than the Grand Feel. I attribute much of that to the fact that they have relatively long key sticks. The RM3 in the VPC1 and Grand Feel in the MP11/MP11SE do feel better to me than anything else I've run across. Although it's still being sold, are their any new or better technologies in the market? Would it be a bad idea to get the VPC1 in 2018? But also, is there really much more innovation to be had in the weighted midi controller market? I mean, if it already feels exactly like a piano, there's really nothing else to do.įirst I'm still a beginner and I can't claim to be an expert in what's the most playable. However, the Kawai VPC1 is many years old. I'd rather have good action than convenience.

I'd also like to make some music, so some might recommend getting a keyboard with a bunch of knobs and whatnot, but software like Ableton already has everything I need in that regard. And I can get Pianoteq or Ivory II or whatever. It looks like the Kawai VPC1 has the best action out of any keyboard or midi controller. I want to learn piano but a real acoustic piano isn't an option, and I don't really want to make this purchase again, so my philosophy on matters like this is to just get the best, or somewhere at the best bang for my buck right off the bat.
