I immediately knew that this would be my preferred live performance setup for many years to come. The First Evergreen Electric Piano in history However, there’s one important reason why I think this MIDI keyboard is the best investment you can make… Most pianist prefer traditional stage pianos because they are quick and easy to set up when performing and they have real physical knobs on the keyboard itself. The one major problem with investing in electric pianos vs acoustic pianos is the fact they’ll soon become outdated and you’ll be forced to invest in a new expensive digital instrument within just a few years. The big advantage of the Kawai VPC1 is the ability to change the software/sampling libraries anytime if you prefer different piano/keyboards sounds in the future. Kawai VPC1 + Ravenscroft samplings = Best Result Unless Kawai or a competitor comes up with a new MIDI controler unit with even better hammer action control I don’t see any reason why you would need to purchase another electric piano in the next 5 or 10 years.
I have tested a lot of different sampling libraries and I can safely say that the best samplings I have found is the ”Ravenscroft samplings” by VI Lab.
