Understood. It functions very well and I have the patch maps for both. The Kawai sounds are pretty good.

What doesn't work well at present is trying to build a song at the Kawai. There I'm sitting on a piano stool, with both screen and computer keyboard badly placed for comfort/ergonomics. That's compounded further by my main music PC being AVLinux-based. I tend to build tracks on the PC in my home office/lab, which is also normally Linux, but which I can reboot into Windows for BIAB. Comfortable chair, large screens, etc., but no Kawai, just a little Launchkey25.

Now that you've set me thinking about that, it does occur to me that it may be feasible to circumvent that with RTP-MIDI and audio streaming. Another possibility is a good external and portable MIDI player that I can easily move between rooms.
