No, but they both allow jacking off while playing. It's not necessarily recommended but I think it's possible.

I think we can all (well, most of us  ) agree on that both the V-Piano and the AvantGrand are flawed in several ways, yet they are the best alternatives available in the digital piano market. Personally I prefer AvantGrand, because I enjoy the most realistic tactile response possible from my DP. Hmm, wouldn't an AG as a midi controller connected to V-Piano as a sound producer be a killer combination then? :-)

Killer plus: Get dewster to transplant the guts of a V piano into an AG. Grand action with V sounds.

Really? I would expect that the V does indeed play off the jack (inasmuch as such a thing is meaningful when there is no jack). Iits cousins the RD700NX and FP7F do, last I heard.

Mac, does either piano allow 'playing off the jack'? The V-Piano does. I'd say more, but for the present (because I've got The Sound of Music to watch  ), let's just say that I don't drink alcohol (rots the brain) or soda (rots the teeth). Tea and coffee suits me fine, and their caffeine helps my running (and all my other adventurous activities....). As does the V-Piano.

Veering further OT, I sat through 'Calamity Jane' when visiting relatives over Xmas Why can't we get decent old movies on TV over Christmas/New Year, like 'A Song to Remember', based (very loosely) on the life of Chopin? The scene when he coughs blood from his tuberculous lungs onto the the white keys of the piano during a concert is truly melodramatic...

Why single out Christmas as the death valley of decent television?
More appropriate, I think: There is no such thing as decent television, save for the VERY rare oasis, always wished for, seldom delivered.

bennevis, you are a true caution. Now there's an old fashioned context in which to use the word "caution"! I last heard that in an ancient film which, whilst not featuring blood coughed liberally up over a piano, might have pleased bennevis as Christmas entertainment. And due to the way he eschews most forms of technology I imagine said film would be watched on apparatus such as: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iWgbZgkEHyY/UB_hGZ1OqwI/AAAAAAAAH1s/utaRtq56gcM/s1600/Old-TV-Set.jpeg

I'll have you know that I watched The Sound of Music on a modern (circa 1960) black-and-white TV set that I inherited from my grandparents. If it ain't broke, don't replace it, as the saying goes......
