Just for posterity's sake, the KRK Rokit's have a tradition of not lasting very long due to cheap engineering.
I have a number of different types of powered speakers and both of my KRK Rokit 8 Gen2s have electrical problems. My understanding is that this is fairly common.

What keyboard are you using for your piano? I'm wondering if I could use my small grand and modify the keyboard to drive a virtual piano such as you mention? Of course I would need to gut the piano otherwise. ...
I'm using what I have had since 2001, a Roland RD-700 88 note weighted stage piano. I was once involved in installing record systems in pianos ("Superscope?") in the 80's. The record system was a nightmare. The replay system from commercially produced cassettes was excellent. I played and recorded a Yamaha C7X Diskclavier last night. No problems with the record.
One of my four KRK Rokit RP10-3 changed suddenly to a high gain yesterday. After I climbed back from the floor to the bench wondering how St. Omer acquired a tuba magna, I ordered four Adam A8X to replace the group.
A followup in case anybody searches for KRK RP10-3 later. The problem with the gain suddenly getting stuck on max until power off only happened when I had moved a pair of these speakers to XLR ports and used XLR cables. When I added the 4 Adam A8X on XLR, I put the KRK pair back on TRS and they've been fine, so I kept them and added another audio group for the Adams.
