Kawai VPC1

For starters, I think the idea of a controller is genius. Why pay for the factory to create beautiful sounds when I already have all the sounds that I need in Pianoteq? Why pay for loudspeakers when I already have good speakers? So for me a controller, instead of a digital piano, is an intelligent way of saving a whole lot of money.
I don't have any other controllers to compare with, so before buying VPC1 I read and watched many reviews and comparisons. One thing was very clear. Nothing comes as close to an acoustic piano as VPC1 does. I cannot judge this for myself, but I believe it. I love the feeling of the keys under my fingers!
I struggled a bit with dynamics when it had just arrived, because the keys were more heavy compared to my old digital piano. But then I read the manual and found that there is a preset that was developed together with the Pianoteq people. Wow! The sounds were immediately better using that preset.
I just have one minor criticism. It is the curved top. It is less curved than I feared though, and with some pads, my laptop sits nicely on the top. But I would have greatly preferred a flat top.
