The Brilliantly Stylized Kurzweil KaP1 Stage Piano is Available Now  

Kurzweil Music Systems, the longstanding leader in digital keyboard innovation, is teaming up  with San Diego-based musical instrument company Artesia Pro Inc. to launch its newest digital  stage piano, the KaP1, in the North American Market.  

Crafted with precision and aesthetically designed by the industry’s go-to electronic instrument  designer Axel Hartmann (of Germany), the KaP1 offers musicians an elevated playing  experience packaged in a striking mid-century modern look. This piano supplements a wide  variety of lifestyles and interior décor with its stunning minimalist style that transcends how a  piano is incorporated into everyday life. Because the KaP1 is beautiful from all angles, it  provides the freedom to seamlessly place it in any position within any space. 
 
Fueled by the 2GB KORE 2.0 Sound Library, the KaP1 includes high quality samples from  Kurzweil’s pro products—showcasing the 9’ German grand piano samples found in the flagship  K2700 workstation and SP7 Grand. Featuring an integrated 4-speaker, stereo sound system  powered by dual 15W digital amplifiers, the KaP1 offers pianists an immersive sonic experience.  Bluetooth and MIDI connectivity allow users to connect their smart devices to play music  through the speakers and perform along with it, in addition to many more functions and  capabilities.  

A sleek and streamlined control panel that features color-coded buttons and a clear LCD display  provides access to all the piano’s system functions. Simply put, the KaP1’s brilliant style  perfectly compliments its magnificent sound and touch. An affordable yet impressive musical  centerpiece for home, studio or stage, the KaP1 harmonizes with any setting with its striking  mid-century modern design available in three distinct finishes (Cobalt Blue, Navajo White, or  Ebony).

San Diego-based musical instrument company Artesia Pro and Japanese drum  pioneers EFNOTE are launching the new EFNOTE Pro 703X electronic kit in the North  American Market.
 
The first of the EFNOTE PRO line to be offered in the matte black oak finish, the  EFNOTE PRO703x features their revolutionary Stage Box with its 12 XLR outputs,  streamlining connectivity and playability across all manner of acoustic and recording  environments. This direct connectivity eliminates mic bleed in live performances,  creates a seamless method for mixing the kit, and allows total and finite control over its  levels.  

The five shells feature mesh heads for quiet drumming and all seven cymbals are  equipped with 360 degree triggering (including playable bell zones, even on the hi-hat).  EFNOTE has even updated their already excellent sensing technology to the ELISE  Sensing Processor 2.0, delivering improved sensitivity for capturing even the most  delicate of strikes, lending to the overwhelmingly natural feel of this digital kit. On top of  it all, EFNOTE’s ever-expanding library contains the best sounds on the market and the  kit includes lifetime access to future additions via download to their innovative two-piece  sound module.  

“Artesia Pro is proud to partner with EFNOTE and their amazing engineering team by  marketing, distributing and supporting their incredible kits in every way possible,” says  Artesia Pro Founder and CEO Matt Harpster. “Their beauty, quality and originality have  established EFNOTE and EFNOTE Pro as leaders in the world of premier electronic  drum kits.”
