KAWAI CL20 - Adjusting the Tempo - 1

4. CONCERT MAGIC

The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, "Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike right keys at the right time." Many people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of course. However, there is a way to make playing the keyboard very simple. You don't even have to strike right keys thanks to Concert Magic.

With Concert Magic, absolutely anyone can sit at the CL20 piano and make real music... even if you've never taken a piano lesson in your life.

To enjoy performing by yourself, you have only to select your favorite piece from 40 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 keys with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy Concert Magic from the moment they sit down at the CL20 piano.

Now let's see how Concert Magic works.

KAWAI CL20 - CONCERT MAGIC - 1

Selecting a Song

The 40 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 40 white keys, classified in five groups by song category such as Children's Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs.

All of the song titles are listed on page 25.

To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.

KAWAI CL20 - Selecting a Song - 1

Listening to the Song

If you have selected a song you are familiar with, you may want to play by yourself right away. However you may want to listen to the song first before playing it.

To listen, press the DEMO button. The CL20 piano will start playing back the selected song.

If you want to listen to a different song, repeat the same procedure to select a song and press the DEMO button.

When you are finished listening to the song, press either CONCERT MAGIC button or DEMO button to stop.

Performing a song

Now you're ready to play yourself.

Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower, they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing.

Isn't it fun? You can sound like you've been playing for years just by pressing one key with one finger.

Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CL20 piano can be enjoyed by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical instrument in their life.

Concert Magic Song Arrangement Types

After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it's too easy and there is very little to learn.

While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require some practice to play beautifully. Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs falls into one of three different categories depending on the skill level required to perform them.

Easy Beat

These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant steady beat on any key on your piano keyboard.

Look at the following example, "Für Elise". Press the key with a steady sixteenth note rhythm.

KAWAI CL20 - Easy Beat - 1

Melody Play

These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any one of the keys on your piano keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be helpful.

Play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" for example. Follow the melody's rhythm as shown.

KAWAI CL20 - Melody Play - 1

When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier to tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.

Skillful

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 of the keys on your piano keyboard, like "Waltz of The Flowers" shown below.

Key on

KAWAI CL20 - Skillful - 1

It may take some practice to get them just right. A good way to learn these songs is to listen to them first, and then try to tap out the rhythms that you hear.

In the song list on page 25, the arrangement type is marked next to each song title as "EB" for Easy Beat, "MP" for Melody Play and "SK" for Skillful.

Concert Magic Song Demo

There are three ways to listen to the Concert Magic songs in the DEMO mode.

1. All Play

Press the CONCERT MAGIC button and then press the DEMO button without selecting a song. The CL20 piano will play back all the preset songs from one to another.

2. Category Play

Press the piano key to which the desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button. While still holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button, press the DEMO button. The CL20 piano will play back the selected song and, then play the rest of songs in the same song category one after another.

3. One Song Play

Press the piano key to which the desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button. Release the CONCERT MAGIC button and then press the DEMO button. The CL20 will playback the selected song repeatedly until you press the DEMO button again.

The CL20 piano has 8 built-in demonstration songs for your listening enjoyment.

1. SELECTING A TOUCH TYPE

When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard a key is struck. Your CL20 piano lets you select from four different "Touch" types as follows:

NORMAL

The standard setting which produces volume in direct proportion to your force on the keys. This setting is the most similar to an acoustic piano. The CL20 piano automatically selects this Touch Type when the power is turned on.

LIGHT

For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is produced even when the piano is played with a soft touch.

HEAVY

Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.

CONSTANT

For tone colors like organ or harpsichord, and for playing some contemporary music with the piano sound, a constant loud sound is produced regardless of your force on the keys.

(1) Press the "TOUCH" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, press one of the following keys on the keyboard.

Key 1: Selects the “LIGHT” Touch Type
Key 2: Selects the “NORMAL” Touch Type
Key 3: Selects the "HEAVY" Touch Type
Key 4: Selects the "CONSTANT" Touch Type

2. TRANSPOSE

The transpose function lets you raise or lower the piano's key in half steps. This is especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it in another key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in the original key, but hear it in another key.

(1) Press the "TRANSPOSE" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, press the desired key on the keyboard to select a new transposed key. (When power is first turned "on", the key is set to C.) The piano can be transposed up to 5 half steps higher (F) or 6 half steps

lower (F#).

KAWAI CL20 - TRANSPOSE - 1

3. TUNING

This function allows you to adjust the piano's pitch to match recordings or other instruments in an ensemble.

(1) Press the "TUNING" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons. A tuning tone can be heard.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, use the -/+ keys to lower/raise the pitch by 0.5Hz . Or you can directly enter the center A pitch as a three digit number by using the number keys. (EX: 440)

4. REVERB

Reverb adds reverberation to the sound simulating the acoustic enviroment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall.

There are three types of Reverb in the CL20. They are Room, Stage and Hall.

(1) Press the "REVERB" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still hodling the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, press one of the following keys to select the Reverb type.

Key 1: ROOM

Key 2: STAGE

Key 3: HALL

When the power is turned on, the REVERB function is automatically activated.

To turn on/off the reverb, while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, press REVERB key and then press "on" or "off" key.

5. CONCERT MAGIC MODE

The CL20 piano offers two ways to enjoy Concert Magic.

Mode 1

Each of the 40 Concert Magic songs falls into one of three different categories depending on the skill level required to perform them. They are Easy Beat, Melody Play and Skillful. See page 14 for details.

Mode 2

Regardless of which arrangement type a Concert Magic song is, with Mode 2 you can play any Concert Magic song by simply tapping any key with a constant steady beat.

(1) Press the "CONCERT MAGIC" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, pressing the “+” key sets the Concert Magic mode to

Mode 2. If you press the “-” key, the Concert Magic mode returns to Mode 1.

6. MIDI CHANNEL SELECT

In order to exchange MIDI information with another MIDI instrument, you must first set the two connected instruments to the same channel.

(1) Press the "MIDI CH" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, press the 10 keys to select the channel. When selecting a channel, the channel must be entered by two digit numbers.

EX: For CH 1 press the 0 key then the 1 key. For CH 16 press the 1 key then the 6 key.

This function is used to control whether or not the sound from the piano will be heard when you play the keyboard. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to "on" you will hear the CL20 piano when you play. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to "off" you will not hear any sound from the CL20 piano when you play but the CL20 piano's keyboard data will be transmitted through the MIDI jacks to an external MIDI device.

(1) Press the “LOCAL” key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, pressing the "off" key sets the Local Control to "off". If you press the "on" key, this function returns to "on".

8. TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF

Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used to transmit or receive data on only one MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16). But by turning the Multi-Timbral function "on", you can receive data on more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously play a different sound on each channel. With this feature, you can connect the CL20 piano to an external MIDI recorder

or personal computer to create performances with a variety of timbres. The term "Multi-Timbral" is derived from the ability to play multiple timbres simultaneously.

NOTE:

You can assign any sound of the CL20 piano to any channel in the way you like by sending the correct Program Change Number to the CL20 piano from an external MIDI device. Please refer to the list below for assignment of sound and program number.

(1) Press the "MULTI" key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, pressing the "off" key sets the Multi-Timbral mode to "off". If you press the "on" key, this function returns to "on".

Modern Piano22
Electric Piano53
Church Organ204
Harpsichord75
Vibraphone126
Strings497
Choir538

9. TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE

You can set the CL20 piano if it should transmit Program Change Numbers via MIDI when the sound is changed on the control panel.

(1) Press the “PROGRAM” key while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.
(2) While still holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons, pressing the "off" key sets the CL20 piano not to transmit the program change data corresponding to the sound selected on the panel. If you press the "on" key, this function returns to "on" and selecting a sound will transmit the data.
(3) You can also transmit the desired program change number directly by entering the number as a three digit number by using the number

keys while holding down the METRONOME and CONCERT MAGIC buttons.

The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (MIDI recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange performance data.

The CL20 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector.

MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.

MIDI OUT: For sending note, program change and other data.

MIDI EXAMPLES

(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound generator module

When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano is played (which keys are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument. Plus, the sound from the CL20 can be layered over the sound of the other instrument.

KAWAI CL20 - Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound generator module - 1

(2) Connection to an external sequencer

When connected as shown in the illustration, you can record songs played on the CL20 with a MIDI recorder, and use the CL20's tones (such as piano, harpsichord and vibraphone, etc.) controlled by the CL20's MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE function to create a multi-layer MIDI recording.
