1. BRILLIANCE

Brilliance lets you adjust brightness of the preset sounds.

KAWAI ES5 - BRILLIANCE - 1

After selecting the "Brilliance" function by pressing the Piano button, use the Value buttons to change the value to the desired amount. The LED display shows the brilliance setting with a number. "0" indicates the standard setting. Brilliance can be set between -10 to +10. Plus settings produce a brighter tone, minus settings produce a mellower tone.

Brilliance settings are global for all the preset sounds. You can not have an individual setting for each sound.

2. TUNING

Tuning allows you to adjust the piano's pitch. You may need to adjust the tuning when you play with other instruments.

KAWAI ES5 - TUNING - 1

After selecting the "Tuning" function by pressing the E.Piano button, use the Value buttons to adjust the tuning. A tuning tone can be heard. The LED display shows the pitch for "A" in Hz (Hertz). For example, 40.0 stands for 440.0Hz . The range of adjustment is from 427.0 to 453.0Hz . The factory preset value is set to the modern standard A = 440.0Hz .

3. VOICING

Voicing is a technique used by piano technicians to mold the character of a piano's sound. The Voicing function lets you change the ES piano's tone quality by choosing one of four types of voicings.

KAWAI ES5 - VOICING - 1

Bright Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

KAWAI ES5 - VOICING - 2

Dynamic The tone will change dramatically from mellow to bright with your playing.

KAWAI ES5 - VOICING - 3

Mellow Produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

KAWAI ES5 - VOICING - 4

Normal Produces the normal timbre of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range. This is the preset value.

KAWAI ES5 - VOICING - 5

After selecting the "Voicing" function by pressing the Organ button, use the Value buttons to select a desired voicing type. The LED display shows the type of voicing currently selected.

The current voicing selection is global for all the preset tones. You can not have an individual setting for each tone.

NOTE:

While voicing is a technique used for optimizing the tone of an acoustic piano, this function can be used on all the sounds on the ES piano.

4. SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE

When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When you play a note or chord on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed not only will the strings for the notes you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate in sympathetic resonance. The Sympathetic Resonance function simulates this phenomenon. You can select from three levels of resonance.

KAWAI ES5 - SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE - 1

Off no resonance.

KAWAI ES5 - SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE - 2

Normal simulates the natural resonance characteristics of an acoustic piano.

KAWAI ES5 - SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE - 3

Deep Produces a more intense resonance.

KAWAI ES5 - SYMPATHETIC RESONANCE - 4

After selecting the "Sympathetic Resonance" function by pressing the Harpsi/Mallets button, use the Value buttons to select the desired setting.

5. TEMPERAMENT

The ES3/5 offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard) but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament is dominant today.

KAWAI ES5 - TEMPERAMENT - 1

After selecting the "Temperament" function by pressing the Strings button, use the Value buttons to select your desired temperament. The LED display shows the type of temperament currently selected.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS

KAWAI ES5 - BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS - 1

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)

This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERATURE). If any other type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explantion of EQUAL TEMPERATURE and EQUAL TEMPERATURE (FLAT) is provided later in this section.

NOTE:

If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.

KAWAI ES5 - NOTE: - 1

MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (major) MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (Minor)

This temperament, which eliminates dissonance's for thirds and fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony. You need to be aware what key you are playing in with this temperament. Any key modulation will result in dissonance's. When you play music in a particular key, you need to match the key of the temperament as well. When playing in a major key select Pure (Major) and when playing in a minor key select Pure (minor).

KAWAI ES5 - MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (major)   MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (Minor) - 1

PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT

This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.

KAWAI ES5 - PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT - 1

MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT

This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonance's experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.

KAWAI ES5 - MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT - 1

WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few accidents, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidents increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.

KAWAI ES5 - WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT - 1

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT)

This is "unstretched" equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.

KAWAI ES5 - EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) - 1

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT

This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament's tuning is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. This "Stretched" equal temperament is a practical variation of the "unstretched" equal temperament which was invented on a mathematical basis.

Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose "D" as the temperament key by pressing any "D" key on the keyboard. The LED display shows the currently selected key signature. Press either Touch or Transpose button to exit the Function Mode before you start playing.

NOTE:

Changing the key of the temperament will only change the "balance" of the tuning, the pitch of the keyboard remains unchanged. Use the Tuning or Transpose functions to change the pitch of the whole keyboard.

6. MEMORY BACKUP

This function allows the ES3/5 to save the user-definable settings when the power is turned off. Once written to the memory, the saved settings will be recalled every time you turn the power on.

KAWAI ES5 - MEMORY BACKUP - 1

After selecting the "Memory Backup" function by pressing the Choir/Pad button, use the Value buttons to select "user" or "restore". Then press the Rec button to write the settings. The LED display briefly shows "Wrt" and the memory backup is executed.

7. LOWER OCTAVE SHIFT

This allows the octave of the lower part to be shifted up one, two, or three octaves higher when you use the split function.

KAWAI ES5 - LOWER OCTAVE SHIFT - 1

After selecting the "Lower Octave Shift" function by pressing the Bass button, use the Value buttons to select your desired shift range. The LED display shows how many octaves the lower part is shifted up. Lower Octave Shift can be set between 0 to 3.

8. MIDI CHANNEL

This determines on which MIDI channel the ES3/5 will exchange MIDI information with an external MIDI instrument or a personal computer.

KAWAI ES5 - MIDI CHANNEL - 1

After selecting the "MIDI Channel" function by pressing the Piano button, use the Value buttons to select your MIDI channel. The LED display shows the currently selected channel number.

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

When the power is first turned on, the ES3/5 always selects "on1" which means omni on, channel 1. If you change it to 1 through 16, omni automatically turns off.

9. TRANSMITTING PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER

This function allows the ES3/5 to transmit program change numbers beyond the 21 (ES3) or 28 (ES5) pre-defined numbers transmitted by the Sound buttons. Using this function, you can send any number from 1 to 128.

KAWAI ES5 - TRANSMITTING PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER - 1

After selecting the "Transmitting Program Chnage Number" function by pressing the E.Piano button, use the Value buttons to select your desired number. The LED display shows the program change number. To send the program change number, press both Value buttons simultaneously.

This determines whether the ES piano's sound will be played from the piano's keyboard ("ON") or only from an external MIDI instrument ("OFF").

Even with local control "off" the piano's keyboard will still transmit to an external MIDI instrument or personal computer.

KAWAI ES5 - TRANSMITTING PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER - 2

After selecting the "Local Control" function by pressing the Organ button, use the Value buttons to turn Local Control on and off. The LED display shows whether Local Control is on or off.

11. TRANSMIT PROGRAM CHANGE ON/OFF

This determines whether or not the ES3/5 will transmit program change information when pressing the Sound buttons. When this is turned on, pressing the Sound buttons will send the program change numbers as listed in page 29.

KAWAI ES5 - TRANSMIT PROGRAM CHANGE ON/OFF - 1

After selecting the "Transmit Program Change On/Off" function by pressing the Harpsi/Mallets button, use the Value buttons to turn Transmit Program Change on and off. The LED display shows whether or not program change numbers will be transmitted.

When the power is first turned on, the Transmit Program Change On/Off function is always "on".

12. TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF

Multi-timbral mode allows the ES3/5 to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the ES3/5 can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.

Multi-Timbral On

This is a flexible 16 part multi-timbral setup. You can turn individual MIDI channels on and off, and assign any program number to any channel in the way you like.

Multi-Timbral Off

This turns off the multi-timbral capability. Only one MIDI channel will be active and only the preset sound currently selected will be heard when a MIDI signal is received.

KAWAI ES5 - Multi-Timbral Off - 1

After selecting the "Multi-Timbre" function by pressing the Strings button, use the Value buttons to turn Multi-Timbre on and off. The LED display shows the selected Multi-timbral mode.

When the power is first turned on, the Multi-Timbral Mode setting is always off.

13. CHANNEL MUTE

This determines which MIDI channels are activated to receive when used with Multi-Timbral On. You can activate or deactivate each of the 16 channels individually.

KAWAI ES5 - CHANNEL MUTE - 1
Channel 1

After selecting the "Channel Mute" function by pressing the Choir/ Pad button, press one of the 16 left most white keys to select the desired channel. Then use the Value buttons to turn them on and off.

NOTE:

When the Multi-Timbral mode is set to off, the "Channel Mute" function is not available.

14. LOWER PEDAL ON/OFF

This determines if the sustain pedal will be active for lower sound when in Split mode. The default setting is Off which means the sustain pedal is not active the lower sound.

KAWAI ES5 - LOWER PEDAL ON/OFF - 1

After selecting the "Lower Pedal" function by pressing the Bass button, use the Value buttons to turn it on and off. The LED display shows whether Lower Pedal is on or off.

FACTORY RESET

If you want to recall the original factory settings, turn the power off and then turn it back again while holding down both the Touch and Transpose buttons at the same time.

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

The ES3/5 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 ES3/5 can be layered over the sound of the other instrument.

KAWAI ES5 - 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 ES3/5 with a sequencer, and use the ES3/5's sounds (such as piano, harpsichord and vibraphone, etc.) controlled by the ES3/5's Multi-Timbral Mode function to create a multi-layer MIDI recording.

KAWAI ES5 - Connection to an external sequencer - 1
