Couple CA-65 questions - 06/06/13 06:17 PM
I was originally planning to get a VPC1, but now I'm considering the CA65.
1. Does anybody know the dimensions of the box it is shipped in? I need to see if it'll fit in the freight elevator at my apartment.
2. If I understand correctly, the CA-65 is shipped in a disassembled state, with the actual DP piece separate from the pieces of the cabinet. Is it feasible to use just this portion separately, somewhat like a slab-style DP? From what I can see, the pedals look like they're built into the cabinet, but are they removable?
3. Am I correct in assuming that for MIDI output, the damper pedal is continuous, whereas the other two are on/off?
4. How customizable are the user velocity curve settings? Could I theoretically get very close to the VPC1 curves by inputting them manually?
5. Does anybody know what the line levels are for in/out, and whether or not they're balanced?
6. The only difference between the CA65 and CA95 is the soundboard, correct?
7. From what I've been seeing, people are paying approximately $3000 for their CA65s. Is it possible to negotiate down to this price when ordering directly through Kawai, or would I have to go to a brick-and-mortar store? I can't seem to find anywhere else that sells online to the US.
