Fein, der Outputlevel wurde etwas erhöht. Das kam mir gleich sonderbar vor, dass ich die Monitore beim MP7 ziemlich weit aufdrehen musste, bis die gewünschte Lautstärke erreicht war. Obwohl alle Regler am Mp7 schon auf Max. standen.

V1.10 fürs MP7 und MP11 ist raus.

Just in time for NAMM, Kawai Japan has issued software updates for the MP11 and MP7 stage pianos.

This v1.10 update improves performance when using large capacity USB devices and fixes glitches that could occur when recording WAV audio files. Damper pedal calibration has been improved (when using the F-30), while additional MidHigh/MidLow parameters also offer greater half-pedal control over popular software piano packages.

The 'Volume' EDIT menu parameter has been replaced with a new [C]MasterVol. parameter, allowing total SETUP volume to be easily adjusted, with a pop-up indicating zone/section volumes when changed. In addition, the MP7 also displays a summary of the current SETUP, including each zone's patchname, volume, and the SW1/SW2 assignments.

As always, there are a handful of other bug fixes and operation improvements following requests and suggestions from MP users, so be sure to check-out the full changelogs (in the update instructions) accessible from www.KawaiMP.com when downloading the update.

MP11 and MP7 owners are encouraged to update their instruments to use this latest software version. We also recommend that users backup any custom settings, SOUNDs, SETUPs, etc. before applying the update.

Many thanks to the MP community for their valued feedback!

Hi Exo,

zunaechst einmal danke fuer die Update-Liste!

Da ich mit dem Gedanken schwebe entweder das MP7 oder ES7 zu kaufen, eine kurze Frage:
Gibt es solche updates des oefteren fuer das MP7? Gibt es diese auch fuer das ES7?
Das hoert sich ja schon klasse an, wenn im nachhinein noch updates herausgebracht werden die einen positiven Effekt haben und das Spielerlebnis verbessern. Das finde ich sehr lobenswert.

Merkt man die veraenderungen stark, faellt es dir direkt auf? (Abgesehen vom erhoehten Outputlevel )


Gruesse
Fabs

Für das ES-7 gab es bis jetzt 5 updates (Verlauf: http://www.kawai.de/service/es7_v115.pdf). Viel wird hier nicht mehr zu erwarten sein. Das MP-7 ist noch jünger und da werden wohl noch kleinere Bugs beseitigt.

 

[MusikerFabs]

Vielen Dank Dieter!

Klasse dass es sowas gibt
Und es ist natuerlich umso besser wenn es keine Fehler mehr zu beheben gibt! (ES-7)

Neue Firmware V1.11 für MP7 und MP11 erschienen:

Just in time for Spring, Kawai Japan has issued software updates for the MP11 and MP7 stage pianos.
This relatively minor v1.11 update adds repedalling functionality for damper/sostenuto pedals when playing and releasing the same keys. The new software also allows the instrument to respond to received MIDI CC#07 messages when adjusting volume levels from an external device. And for MP7 users, there is a bugfix for non-sounding tonewheel organs after loading an AllBackup from an older OS.
These software updates and update instructions can be downloaded directly from the Kawai MP website at www.kawaimp.com.
MP11 and MP7 owners are encouraged to update their instruments to use this latest software version. We also recommend that users backup any custom settings, SOUNDs, SETUPs, etc. before applying the update.
Many thanks to the MP community for their valued feedback!

Und ? Hast du die neue FW schon runterladen/installieren können?
Einschalten mit Store-Knopf-gedrückt zeigt Dir die Firmware-Version am KnobScreen an.

 

[Exordium]

Nein, ich installiere nie ein Update am Releasetag. Egal ob Computer oder D-Piano. Ausnahme: Das Gerät ist ohne das Update schon ohne Funktion bzw. stark beeinträchtigt. Ansonsten warte ich grundsätzlich ob es keine Verschlimmbesserung mit sich bringt.
