The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

■ Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.

■ Soft pedal (left pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker simulation between "Slow" and "Fast" effect modes.

Grand Feel pedal system (KDP120 only)

The KDP120 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of Kawai's SK-EX Concert Grand piano.

The Dual playing mode allows two sounds to be layered together, creating a more complex sound. For example, a piano sound layered with strings, or a church organ combined with a choir, etc.

Four Hands Mode

The Four Hands playing mode function divides the keyboard into two sections in a similar way to that of the Split keyboard mode. However, with Four Hands keyboard mode enabled, the octave/pitch of each section is automatically adjusted to create two separate 44-key instruments with the same playing range. Furthermore, the damper (right) pedal and soft (left) pedal act as separate damper pedals for the respective right and left sections, allowing two people to perform piano duets using a single instrument.

Concert Magic song arrangement types

Concert Magic songs are divided into three different arrangement types: Easy Beat (EB), Melody Play (MP), and Skillful (SK). Each arrangement type requires a different level of skill to be performed correctly.

Easy Beat EB

These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant, steady beat on any key of the keyboard. For example, when playing the piece "Für Elise", a constant, steady rhythm should be maintained throughout the song.

Key on:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Melody Play MP

These songs are also relatively easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any key of the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful. For example, when playing the piece "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", the rhythm of the melody should be played.

* When performing fast Concert Magic songs, it may be easier to press different keys with two alternating fingers in order to achieve greater speed.

Key on: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X: c b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x x y z

Skillful

SK

These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the accompaniment notes on any key of the keyboard. For example, when playing the piece "Waltz of the Flowers", the rhythm of both the melody and the accompaniment should be played.

1 Damper Resonance

Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

The KDP120/KDP75 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volume of this resonance to be changed.

3 Touch

As with an acoustic piano, the KDP120/KDP75 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as "touch sensitivity".

The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are four different preset touch settings available.

■ Touch type

Touch typeDescriptionKey
OffA constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.This setting is recommended for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such as organ and harpsichord.C#3
LightA louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch.This setting is recommended for children and organ players, or for those still developing finger strength.F#3
Normal (default)Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano.G#3

■ Changing the Touch type

Operation Guide: SOUND (page 12\~13)

Press and hold the SOUND SELECT button, then press the key assigned to the desired touch type.

4 Low Volume Balance

Strange sounds or noises are heard when playing with piano sounds.The KDP120/KDP75 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This includes damper resonances and other subtle effects that contribute to the overall piano playing experience.While these additional effects are intended to enhance the realism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable them altogether using the sound settings.p.33p.34
PedalsThe pedals are unreliable or do not function at all.Check that the pedal cable is firmly connected to the instrument. p. 48
When depressing a pedal, the pedal board flexes and is not firm.Check that the pedal support bolt is fully extended. p. 48
