20 Years of Innovation
M-Audio is celebrating 20 years of critically acclaimed music technology innovation. Professional musicians and recording studios rely on M-Audio products such as industry-leading USB MIDI controller keyboards and Studiophile(R) studio speaker systems. M-Audio digital pianos build on this legacy of quality and dependability, fusing years of expertise in digital keyboard technology and high-fidelity audio with world-class sounds. M-Audio digital pianos are sophisticated, expressive instruments equally suited for today's homes and houses of worship.

Authentic Sound and Feel
The M-Audio DCP200 digital piano features premium onboard sounds meticulously sampled from some of the world's finest instruments, including the classic Steinway Model D concert grand piano. This remarkable instrument boasts a finely crafted 88-note keyboard with graded hammer action and escapement to reproduce the feel of an acoustic piano--from a lighter touch on the high notes, down to a firm response on the lows. The powerful combination of authentic sound and realistic touch provides an inspiring playing experience for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

USB Computer Compatibility--Access the World of Music Software
All M-Audio digital pianos feature built-in USB MIDI interfaces to connect to most PC and Mac computers. A single USB cable lets you plug into a wide range of music software for education, notation, recording and more. Your DCP200 even includes Sibelius First software--the easy-to-use application from the industry leader in music notation. Just press record and your computer transcribes what you play into professional-grade sheet music.

Write, Compose and Arrange
Want to create your own music? The DCP200 digital piano features eight different popular instrument sounds you can play right from the keyboard: acoustic pianos, electric pianos, harpsichord, church organ, strings and upright bass. Work out song ideas, then connect to a computer via USB and use the included Sibelius First software to print out the score.

Perfect for Piano Lessons
Looking for the perfect instrument for your kids' music education--or perhaps to further your own childhood piano lessons? The affordability, realism and compact size of the M-Audio DCP200 digital piano make it an ideal choice. You and your family will experience the joy of playing the piano--either through the high-fidelity internal sound system or privately with headphones. In fact, there are two headphone jacks to accommodate teacher and student. The built-in note recorder lets you record and play back your practices and performances for evaluation. Unlike many digital pianos, DCP200 gives you all three of the pedals found on grand pianos--including sostenuto. And a simple USB computer connection provides access to self-paced music education software like Sibelius Groovy.

A Musical Director's Best Friend
If you're the musical director for a house of worship, school chorus or similar group, the DCP200 digital piano gives you a new reason to rejoice. This handy performance instrument never needs tuning--and the included Sibelius First software lets you print your own musical arrangements for your group to rehearse and perform.

The Piano That's Easy to Live With
The piano has a longstanding tradition of bringing music enjoyment and education into the home. Now with today's digital technology, it's never been easier to make this beautiful instrument your own. Digital pianos are made with modern manufacturing techniques so they don't cost a fortune. They fit the sound of a concert grand and other instruments into a spare corner of the room. They enable family members to entertain guests or play privately using headphones. And digital pianos never need costly tuning or repair--or a skilled piano mover when you relocate. The M-Audio DCP200 brings all the advantages of today's technology to the instrument you know and love. read less
