VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) Effects Virtual Circuitry Modeling recreates the sound and behavior of vintage effects and high-end studio signal processors by modeling the circuits down to the original analog component level. Touch CP88 features an 88-key Natural Wood, Graded Hammer, triple sensor (NW-GH) keyboard with Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Key Tops.

Natural Wood keys offer the weight and response that piano players expect. Adding different weight or grading, the keyboard reproduces the feel of a piano's hammers: heavy in the low end and light in the high end. Synthetic Ebony and Ivory Key Tops are lightly porous which adds grip to the keys. This maintains accuracy during long performances or practice sessions.

Additionally, a third sensor allows grand piano-like key repetition where notes can be re-articulated without a complete release. This makes it easier to play fast repeated notes. Direct, Immediate, and Total Sound Control With its one-to-one interface, the CP88 gives you direct, immediate, and total control of your sound during stage or studio performance.

There's no programming, menu-diving or web searching with the CP88. The intuitive interface allows fast and easy splits, layers and sound-shaping directly from the front panel. Connectivity The CP88 connects and integrates into your home studio or live rig with onboard USB MIDI and audio connectivity.
