Using the Kawai VPC1 is easy. First, connect it to your PC or Mac using the provided USB cable. It can draw power from the USB bus, but if you need more power, you can use the AC power adaptor. For connecting to hardware sound sources, use the standard MIDI jacks. When playing, the wooden keys and advanced action will give you a great feel similar to a real grand piano. Try out different preset touch curves like Normal, Ivory, Pianoteq, Galaxy, and Alicia's Keys to find your favorite. You can also use the VPC Editor software to adjust IN/OUT routing for USB and standard MIDI and control separate sound sources at the same time. For maintenance, keep the keyboard clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the keys and the body. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the ivory - like key surfaces. When not in use, store it in a dry and clean place. If you have any issues, check the connections first, and if the problem persists, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
