Master Keyboard Controller
MPiano
The MPiano is a touch-sensitive keyboard with an elegant design and adjustable key characteristics. The “M” for mechatronic piano refers to the high-tech actuators below the keys that give resistance and therefore make the perceived weight of the keys adjustable. This allows music creators to experience the instrument, for example, as a concert grand piano, a church organ or a synthesiser. Moreover, the surfaces of the keys are touch-sensitive and can be used as individual controllers.
Statement by the Jury
The MPiano fascinates with its sophisticated actuator technology, which provides musicians with novel possibilities, and not least with its impressive design.
