Yes, I can see that the Kawaii keys are, in theory, or at least in spec, very nice. Yes I can feel the escapement mechanism in the Roland action. and they should! Having said that, I tried the Kawaii actions for MP6 and MP10 and the Roland action for RD700NX. for me the mechanics of RM3 Kawai is too light do not be fooled by a drawing. It shouldn't be long now! May be contact Viscount and ask when it will be available? My best advice, wait for the physis piano come onto the market and go try it out. I would recommend you at least try the NUMA Nero if possible before making your decision. The Physis Piano aslo uses a Fatar TP40WOOD keybed, but with ivory feel keys. You might be wise to wait for the Viscount Physis Piano to come out, although it may be pricey. The wooden embedded keys are lovely to play. It's just a shame I had to pay all that money for a PNOscan strip just to overcome the irregular velocity problems that plague Fatar's/Studiologic's boards! The mechanics are well designed (30 years practice!) and strong. I must admit, it is the best I've ever played. My piano teacher who teaches at the Guildhall in London UK said that the NUMA Nero action felt like a Steinway AFTER I'd removed the original silicone rubber contacts and replaced them with the PNOscan optical strip. I can comment on the NUMA Nero being brillkiant in terms of feel. However, I have played the PHAIII by Roland and, to be honest, was not impressed. I have been thinking about purchasing one, but am not sure myself of whether the action would actually feel any better than that of the NUMA Nero. I have never played the Kawai RM3 action so I am unable to comment on that although many say it's the best.
But at least if it *does* sound good, that's one less hurdle to clear.Thank you for your forum e-mail.

you'd need to at least check the manual and see if there are specific mono piano samples or mono modes that can me employed.

So it would be wrong to rule out a piano for mono use based on how summing a PC sample sounds. or for that matter, the instrument may have one or more separate mono patches that are different from what was uploaded to PC. The instrument may have an alternate way to send out the mono signal beyond what you'd get from simple output summing. But you're right, if it doesn't sound good that way, you can't assume it has to sound bad. If it sounds good that way, you know it should sound good. So I'll correct that to say that summing the purgatory creek samples will tell you how one method of mono summing should sound. Nord in particular, does some magic with their mono mode that works WAY better than external summing. Certain instruments seem to sum better internally than when you sum externally.

Even though the purgatory creek samples are stereo, if you download them and merge the two sides, I think that should tell you whether the instrument properly sums to mono. Someone REALLY needs to create a sample set specifically in mono. Kawai MP9500 - and I assume MP8 et al.not very good at all. The newer Yamahas all have a mono sample set that I have only played in music stores, but seems to be pretty cool. Yamaha P250 and P155 - Meh.always bummed me out. (Very nice for what it is in stereo, however)

I think if/when I have some downtime I may try the same with the full White Grand version. by using the right sample only from somewhere around middle C up and the Left hand sample from there down. Sampletekk- Both TBO and White Grand do pretty well in mono.
It takes some tweaking for a good live sound, but worth it. What it lacks in sampled realism it makes up for in playability and mono goodness. Pianoteq - The monophonic output alone makes this worth owning. I am not in love with most of the Nord pianos, but usable in mono like this. It definitely does something other than sum the 2 sides. Nord Electro 3- The mono button sounds MUCH better than summing the stereo outs, or just using a cord in the mono jack. I cannot back this up scientifically however.
Anecdotally I think it sounds better when adjusting the stereo spread from within Ivory than it does summing a full stereo send. Ivory - Does OK.I mostly use the Steinway and the Uprights.The Steinway gets a little bit hollow - but not too bad, and the Vintage Upright gets a little honky in the midrange. I'll start with all the digital pianos, soft or hardware, that I either own or am very familiar with. This is a laundry list of pianos that work well (or not) in mono.
