An 88-key professional stage piano with a wooden-key grand piano action and a built-in MIDI controller.

The Kawai MP11SE

How I use it

I haven’t recorded the MP11SE’s own sounds on anything yet, but it’s the keyboard I played the Noire piano parts on for Life, Together and In Hope Of. Through my MIDI routers, the MRCC 880 and U6MIDI Pro, it can also play my other synths.
