Ease of Use
:
10
Software 2.0. Sounds great if you are not interested in harpsichord or organs. The default setting is piano 1 with reverb; no way to change this? Manual clear.
Features
:

64 notes polyphony (excellent)
built-in 3 levels reverb (easy , good quality
standard MIDI features of a MIDI digital piano
wonderful wooden keyboard, with real piano mechanism, but...
BIG PROBLEMS WITH THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF THE KEYBOARD WHICH IS NOT
CONSTANT (that means that you don't always get the same sound intensity with the same amount of strength when playing a note. This problem is improved on the 2.0 version, but still not totally resolved).

have dealt with my local musical store in France which is very friendly, but not efficiently helpful (took 1 year to get a new version of the software after this one having been on the net, on www.kawai.de, for instance)

Very good digital piano (and very nice) except the problem of the dynamic which will be fixed, I hope so
