Piano’s Maene sets a new standard in the world of digital pianos with the launch of the Doutreligne MSP-400. This model was developed as an affordable alternative to popular stage pianos like the Roland FP-30X and Yamaha P-225, yet it impresses both musically and technically. With a high-quality FATAR keyboard, a powerful speaker system, and impressive polyphony, the MSP-400 offers a playing experience that exceeds its competitors – and all at a great price.

In this blog, we’ll explore the key features of this instrument and compare it to other popular models. You’ll see why the MSP-400 is a smart choice for any pianist looking to combine quality and affordability.

FATAR keyboard for an authentic and precise playing experience

When you're looking for a digital piano, the keyboard is one of the most important features to consider. A weighted keyboard with 88 keys is essential for developing the right playing technique and expression. The more realistically the keyboard replicates the feel of an acoustic piano, the more natural the playing experience will feel.

The Roland FP-30X and Yamaha P-225 offer a basic keyboard, which is suitable for beginner to intermediate pianists. However, if you're looking for an even more authentic playing experience, the Doutreligne MSP-400 is an excellent choice. This digital piano is equipped with the Grand Response Hammer Action keyboard, developed by the Italian specialist FATAR. This keyboard, also used in more expensive and professional instruments, offers refined dynamic response and weighted keys that replicate the feel of an acoustic grand piano. The Grand Response Hammer Action keyboard makes the MSP-400 not only suitable for beginners but also for advanced pianists who are looking for precision and expressiveness in their playing. The high-quality finish and durability of the FATAR keyboard ensure that the MSP-400 is a versatile instrument that continues to impress as you grow as a pianist.

Powerful speakers for a full and rich sound

The sound quality of a digital piano largely depends on the combination of its sound source and speaker system. The Doutreligne MSP-400 stands out with its powerful 25W speakers—significantly more than the 11W of the Roland FP-30X and the 7W of the Yamaha P-225. This results in a fuller, richer sound with deeper bass and a wider dynamic range, allowing the subtle nuances of your playing to shine through.

Additionally, the MSP-400 features sound samples from prestigious concert grand pianos, contributing to an incredibly authentic and immersive playing experience. Thanks to this advanced amplification, the MSP-400 delivers a level of sound quality typically found only in higher-end models, making it a top choice not just for its feel but also for its superior sound.

Maximum polyphony unlocks limitless possibilities

The polyphony of a digital piano determines how many notes can sound simultaneously without cutting off previously played tones. The Roland FP-30X and Yamaha P-225 both offer 256-note polyphony, which is sufficient for most standard pieces. However, the Doutreligne MSP-400 takes it a step further with an impressive 512-note polyphony, ensuring that even during complex chords, rapid arpeggios, and heavy pedal use, every note remains clear and intact. This prevents any tones from being abruptly cut off, even in the most demanding compositions.

When playing classical music, film scores, or pieces with rich harmonic textures, this expanded polyphony truly shines. It eliminates the "choppy" effect that can disrupt the overall musical experience. With its exceptionally smooth and natural sound, the MSP-400 provides an unrestricted playing experience, making it the perfect choice for advanced pianists striving for musical precision and depth.

Connectivity and versatility

The Roland FP-30X offers a wide range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth for wireless MIDI and audio, as well as USB-to-host and USB-to-device ports, providing great flexibility for connecting with other devices and software. The Yamaha P-225 is also well-equipped with USB-to-host connectivity and is compatible with various educational apps, making it ideal for both beginners and advanced players.

The Doutreligne MSP-400 features a variety of connection options, including both USB and MIDI, and also comes with built-in rhythms and accompaniment styles, making it a versatile instrument for different musical applications. When it comes to connectivity and functionality, the MSP-400 holds its own—if not surpasses—the competition. Want to learn piano interactively with apps like SimplyPiano or Flowkey?
