① VOLUME

Move the volume slider to the right to increase the instrument's volume.

Move the slider to the left to decrease the volume.

② TRANSPOSE control

Shifting the slider to the right raises the piano's key (C - C#- D - Eb - E - F).

Shifting it to the left lowers the key (C - B - B ^b - A - A ^b - G - F #).

You can therefore play the music as written - in C major, for example - and have the instrument transpose the output to a higher or lower key to match your voice.

③ TOUCH CURVE selector

Use these buttons to select the touch curve.

See p. 7 for more information on the touch curve.

④ REVERB buttons

These add REVERB (echo) effect to the sound for greater beauty.

⑤ CHORUS

Enhances the sound with the calming depth of a chorus.

The CHORUS effect is automatically applied when you choose the E.PIANO, CHURCH ORGAN, VIBRAPHONE, or STRINGS preset sounds.

⑥ TONE SELECTORS

Select the desired instrument by pressing the appropriate button.

Use these buttons for song selection or track selection when using with RECORDER.

⑦ RECORDER

Use these buttons to record and playback a song. (For the procedure, see p. 10)

⑧ TEMPO Control, DUAL BALANCE Control

This slider controls the relative loudness of the two voices used in the DUAL modes. It is the rightmost preset of the pair that becomes louder.

Use this slider to set the tempo of the metronome or recorder when recording and playing back.

In Listen mode of Concert Magic, this slider controls the tempo of the song.

⑨ CONCERT MAGIC

This button turns CONCERT MAGIC function on and off.

CONCERT MAGIC lets you perform preprogrammed music with just striking a key. (For the procedure, see p. 18)

⑩ DEMO

Use this button to play three demo songs stored in the piano's internal memory.

See p. 8 for more information on playing the demo songs.

⑪ POWER

This switch turns the instrument on and off. Be sure to turn off the instrument when finished playing.

⑫ HEADPHONE jacks

These jacks are for headphones sold separately. (Kawai's optional headphones: SH-2, SH-5).

2 Rear Panel

① LINE OUT

These jacks provide stereo output to amplifiers, stereo systems, tape recorders, or similar equipment. Use the L/MONO jack when using only one output.

② LINE IN

These RCA pin jacks connect two channels of output from other electronic instruments or audio equipments to the piano's speakers.

This Input bypasses the piano's VOLUME control. To adjust the balance, you must use the output volume controls on the individual instruments.

③ MIDI

These jacks allow communication with other gear equipped with MIDI.

④ PEDAL jack

This jack is used to activate the damper, the sostenuto and soft pedals that are built in the stand.

· The pedals

From right to left, the pedals are the damper pedal, sostenuto pedal, and the soft pedal.

Damper pedal: Pressing this pedal sustains the sound even after removing the hands from the keyboard.

Sostenuto pedal: Depressing this pedal after pressing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains the sound of only the keys just played.

Soft pedal: Pressing this pedal softens the sound, and also reduces its volume.

1 Basic operations

Step 1 Turn on the power.

Step 2 Adjust the volume.

Play a note on the keyboard and adjust the volume (Moving the slider to the right raises the volume; moving it to the left lowers it).

Step 3 Choose the tone.

Pressing a TONE SELECTOR button automatically changes the tone of the piano. The LED above it lights to indicate which tone is currently in effect.

PIANO1 is automatically selected when the power is turned on.

Step 4 Play.

Experiment with the various tone colors to acquaint yourself with the sounds that are available.

Note Up to 32 keys can be played simultaneously (32 note polyphonic).

Step 5 Add an effect.

There are CHORUS and three REVERB effects available.

CHORUS: The sound is enhanced with the depth of a chorus.

ROOM : Gives a soft REVERB effect simulating play in a room.

STAGE : Gives a REVERB effect simulating play on stage.

HALL : Gives a deep REVERB effect simulating play in a large concert hall.

Note The CHORUS effect halves the number of simultaneous voices available to sixteen (16 note polyphonic).

2 DUAL

DUAL allows you to combine two tones. You can combine two tones in a layer with this mode, creating sounds and effects impossible with just a single tone.

Operation

Step 1 Simultaneously press two TONE SELECTOR buttons to achieve tone colors at once.

Note

★ Pressing such a combination also halves the number of simultaneous voices available to sixteen (16 note polyphonic).

★ Pressing another pair changes the combination.

★ To cancel and return to normal operation, press a single tone selector button.

3 Selecting the Touch Curve

When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard the key is struck. "Touch Curve" is the expression used to describe the relationship between the volume and the strength with which the keyboard is struck.

You can select from three different touch curves with this keyboard.

Touch Curve Example

① Light: For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is emitted even when played with a soft touch.

② Normal: Volume changes accordingly with normal touch.

③ Heavy: Perfect for those with strong fingers or for practicing with a hard touch.

Step 1 Press either the LIGHT or HEAVY button to select the touch curve.

The LED of the selected touch curve will light.

When neither LED is lit, the Normal setting is selected.

Step 2 When you want to return the setting to "Normal", press the button of the currently

selected touch curve once again and its LED will turn off.

Note The default setting is "Normal" when the power to the keyboard is turned

Concert Magic

The Concert Magic Feature allows you to listen to or perform 88 preprogrammed songs, even if you've never taken a piano lesson in your life.

A. Selecting a song in Concert Magic mode

Step 1

Press and hold the Concert Magic button.

Step 2

While continuing to hold down the Concert Magic Button, press any one of the 88 black or white keys on your piano keyboard. If you are using the Concert Magic feature for the first time, we suggest that you select key #1, which is the lowest note on your piano keyboard.

While holding down this button.

B. Listening to the Selected Song

Step 1

Press the PLAY/STOP button. You will hear a familiar song.

Step 2

Adjust the speed or tempo of the song while it is playing with the DUAL balance control.

Step 3

Stop playback of the song by pressing the PLAY/STOP button.

Note

To restart the currently selected song from the beginning, you must reselect the song by repeating Steps 1 and 2 from Section A.

C. Performing the Selected Song

Step 1

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!

Step 2

Adjust the relative loudness of the melody notes and accompaniment notes with the DUAL balance control.

Note

To rewind the currently selected song and perform it from the beginning, you must reselect the song by repeating Steps 1 and 2 from Section A.

D. Concert Magic Song Arrangement Types

Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs is arranged in one of three types.

1. Easy Beat

These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a steady beat on any key on your piano keyboard. To select an Easy Beat song, press and hold the Concert Magic button while simultaneously pressing any black or white key from #1 to #13.

2. 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. To select a Melody Play song, press and hold the Concert Magic button while simultaneously pressing any black or white key from #14 to #43.

3. 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. 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. To select a Skillful song, press and hold the Concert Magic button while simultaneously pressing any black or white key from #44 to #88.

Note

When performing fast songs on 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.

E. Playing Concert Magic Songs in Demo Mode

Each Concert Magic song falls into one of seven different categories:

1. American Classics
2. Children's Songs
3. Classical Selections
4. Hymns & Christmas Songs
5. International Songs
6. Patriotic Songs
7. Special Occasions

In Demo Mode, Concert Magic will continuously play all of the songs in a selected category. To select a category of songs for continuous playback, do the following:

Step 1

Press the Concert Magic Button and release. Make sure that the red light is on.

Step 2

Press and hold the Demo button.

Step 3

While continuing to hold down the Demo Button, press the black or white key on your piano keyboard that corresponds to a song in the category of music you'd like to hear. Concert Magic will begin to play all of the songs in the selected category, beginning with the song you selected.

1 Programming Mode

The programming mode allows you to change the keyboard's tuning, and temperament, and utilize the various MIDI capabilities. These programming functions are performed using the panel buttons and keyboard, so please try them after reading and understanding the programming instructions completely.

A. Entering the programming mode

Step 1 Press the CHORUS button.

Step 2 Holding down the CHORUS button, press the first three tone selector buttons (PIANO 1, PIANO 2, and E.PIANO).

Step 3 The LEDs above the CHORUS and PIANO 1 buttons should then start flashing to indicate that the piano is in the programming mode. In this mode, striking the keyboard produces no sound.

Step 4 Press an appropriate button to select the desired programming mode. The correspondence between buttons and 6 types of programming mode is as below.

B. Leaving the programming mode

Step 1

Press the CHORUS button.

Step 2

The flashing will stop, and you will return to the tone in effect when you entered the programming mode.

Note

You can also continue into another programming mode by pressing another TONE SELECTOR without pressing the CHORUS button.

2 Tuning

Step 1 Make sure that the piano is in the programming mode.

Step 2 Press the CHURCH ORGAN button so that it flashes to indicate that the piano is ready to be tuned.

Step 3 Unlike the other functions in the programming mode, this one produces sound so that you can compare the piano's pitch with another instrument.

Note Playing the keyboard when set up this way produces the tone selected before entering the programming mode. Tuning is done using this tone. If you want to change the tone, leave the programming mode, select the new tone and repeat steps (1) and (2).

Step 4 Press the highest black key to lower the pitch. Or press the highest white one to raise it. It may be necessary to press these keys repeatedly to achieve proper tuning.

Note The range of tuning possible is ± 50 cents (100 cents = a half tone). Each push of the key will change the tuning 1.56 cents.

Step 5 Leave the programming mode by pressing the CHORUS button.

Note Momentarily turning off the power restores the original pitch.

3 Temperaments

Your Kawai digital piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard) but also immediate access to those popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Step 1 Make sure that the piano is in the programming mode.

Step 2 Press the HARPSICHORD button so that it flashes to indicate that the piano is waiting for a temperament specification.

Step 3 Press one of the seven white keys at the lower end of the keyboard to select one of these corresponding temperaments.

① Equal temperament without the tuning curve
② Mersenne pure temperament
③ Pythagorean temperament
④ Meantone temperament
⑤ Werckmeister III temperament
⑥ Kirnberger III temperament
⑦ Equal temperament with the tuning curve

Key set function is also available at this point. As you know, 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.

To select the key signature setting, simply press one of the keys other than the lowest seven keys used to select the type of temperament. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, press D key to set the keys.

Please note that this will only change the "balance" of the tuning, and the pitch of the keyboard will remain unchanged. Use the TRANSPOSE control to change the pitch of the whole keyboard.

Step 4 Leave the programming mode.

Note

When the power is first applied or reapplied after a short break, the piano returns to the modern standard (equal temperament with the tuning curve = #7).

• Temperament characteristic

Equal temperament

This, by far the most popular piano temperament, divides the scale into twelve equal semitones and has the advantage of producing the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys.

Mersenne temperament

This temperament, which eliminates consonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular for choral music.

Pythagorean temperament

This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate consonances for fifths, has problems with chords, but produces very beautiful melodic lines.

Meantone temperaments

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

Werckmeister III temperament, Kirnberger III temperament

For key signatures with accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but, as the accidentals increase, the tension increases, and the temperament produces the beautiful melodies of the Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written to take advantage of these characteristics.

Setting the metronome volume

The metronome volume is adjusted with the master volume. However the degree of volume change can be set.

Step 1

Make sure that the piano is in the programming mode.

Step 2

Press the METRONOME button.

The metronome will sound in four-four time.

The PIANO 1 LED will be turned off and in turn, the METRONOME LED will flash.

Now you can start setting the metronome volume.

In this state, pressing the keyboard keys will not produce sound.

Step 3

Set the degree of volume change for the metronome.

Use the seven white keys at the left end of the keyboard to set the degree of volume.

Volume is set to its lowest with the "1" key and at its highest with the "7" key. The "4" key is the factory setting.

Step 4

Leave the programming mode.

1 What's MIDI?

Before attempting to set the MIDI function, let's take a brief look at what MIDI is.

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange performance data.

Instruments equipped with MIDI have three jacks for exchanging data: IN, OUT, and THRU. Each uses a special cable with a DIN connector for connection.

IN : For receiving keyboard, timbre, and other data

OUT : For sending keyboard, timbre, and other data

THRU : For sending received data to another instrument without processing

Electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI are able to transmit and receive performance data such as for note and timbre.

Depending on the connection method, instruments are grouped as those which receive data (producing sound according to data received from the connected instrument), those which send data (to the instruments to which they are connected), and those which both send and receive data.

The cable is connected to the MIDI IN jack of the instrument receiving data and to the OUT jack of the sending instrument. The THRU jack is used when the data received is to be sent to another instrument.

MIDI uses what are known as "channels" as a means of transmitting data for playing a specified instrument.

There are two types of channels, one for receiving and one for sending, and MIDI instruments are normally equipped with both types. Receive channels are used when an instrument receives data from another instrument, and send channels are used for transmission to another instrument.

For instance, let's say that three instruments are connected for playing in this way:

Instrument ①, which is sending, transmits the send channel along with keyboard and other data to instruments ② and ③, which are receiving. This data is sent to instruments ② and ③, but the data will not be received unless the receive channel for these two instruments matches the send channel used by instrument ①.

There are 16 channels each (1 through 16) available for both sending and receiving.

2 Connections

(1) Connection to another MIDI-compatible keyboard

(connection with instruments such as the Kawai digital synthesizers KC20/K11)

When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano is played (what keys are struck and how hard) is sent to the synthesizer unchanged. Also, by connecting the synthesizer's OUTPUT jack and the LINE IN jack on the digital piano, the sound from the digital piano can be layered over the sound of the synthesizer. Since timbre can be set separately, you can assemble a wide variety of sound combinations, such as a PIANO tone from the digital piano layered with a STRING tone from the synthesizer for a thick sound.

(2) Connection to a drum machine

When connected as shown in the illustration, you can not only play along with the rhythm from the drum machine, you can also play the drum machine by striking the keys on the digital piano.

(3) Connection to a sound generator module

(connection with instruments such as the Kawai GMega)

When connected as shown in the illustration, you can layer sounds like in example (1), as well as playing a large number of tones.

(4) Connection to a sequencer and sound generator module (connection with instrument and device).

connection with instruments such as the Kawai DRP-10/GMega)

When connected as shown in the illustration, you can record songs played on the digital piano with the sequencer and play them back as many times as you like, and layer the module's tones made with the digital piano's MULTI TIMBRE function to assemble a complex automatic performance.

3 MIDI Implementation

The MIDI interface on your Kawai Digital Piano allows you to:

1. Receive and transmit keyboard data.

You can play the digital piano to output sound on a synthesizer or other instrument, or vice versa.

1. Set channel numbers for sending and receiving.

You can set send or receive channels to any number from 1 to 16.

1. Receive and transmit program numbers (codes for changing timbres).

You can operate the digital piano to change the programmed timbre of a synthesizer or other instrument connected with the MIDI interface to the digital piano, or vice versa.

1. Receive and transmit pedal data.

You can receive and transmit ON/OFF data for the soft and damper pedals.

1. Receive volume data.

You can control the volume of the digital piano from an external source connected via the MIDI interface.

1. Set MULTI TIMBRE.

When the digital piano is used as a receiving instrument, you can receive keyboard data on a number of different channels, producing different timbres for each one.

1. Sending and Receiving Exclusive data

Setting in the Programming Mode or Panel buttons operations, such as DUAL, or CHORUS buttons ON/OFF, can be sent as MIDI exclusive data.

★ For details of the MIDI function of this instrument, please refer to the MIDI Implementation Chart.

MIDI Settings

A. Setting the channel

In order to be able to exchange information with a connected MIDI instrument, you must first set the interconnected instruments to the same channel.

Step 1 Make sure that the digital piano is in the programming mode.

Step 2 Press the PIANO 2 button so that it flashes to indicate that the piano is waiting for a channel specification.

(It is also possible to turn the MULTI TIMBRE function on and off. See following section.)

Step 3 Select the channel by pressing the one of the first 16 white keys at the lower end of the keyboard.

Step 4 Pressing one of these keys automatically sets the instrument's transmitting and receiving channel to the number selected.

Step 5 Leave the programming mode.

Note

When the power is first applied, the piano uses Channel 1 and has the OMNI parameter on. Changing to another channel automatically turns the OMNI parameter off. In OMNI mode, information from all channels is received.

B. Sending program number (timbre code) and MIDI exclusive data

(a) Transmitting with the TONE SELECTORS

You can use the seven TONE SELECTORS during normal playing to transmit program number 0 through 7 shown in the chart below.

Tone Selector	Program No.
PIANO 1	0
PIANO 2	1
E. PIANO	2
CHURCH ORGAN	4
HARPSICHORD	5
VIBRAPHONE	6
STRINGS	7

The digital piano is also able to transmit information on TOUCH CURVE and Effects (CHORUS, REVERB) operation statuses as MIDI exclusive data.

Transmission of a program number and MIDI exclusive data can be switched on and off as described below.

Step 1

Enter the programming mode.

The LEDs for CHORUS and PIANO 1 will flash. The flashing of the PIANO 1 LED shows that the instrument is in the programming mode for transmitting the program number, so move on to the next step.

Note

No sound will be played if the keyboard is pressed at this time.

Step 2

Press the highest black or white key.

Pressing the black key (OFF) disables transmission of the program number and MIDI exclusive data. Pressing the white key (ON) enables it.

Step 3

Press the CHORUS button to leave the programming mode. You may then change to another programming mode.

Note

★ The setting described above is automatically set on when the power is turned on, so you can also turn on the setting simply by turning the power off and then on again, instead of using the procedure described above.
★ In Dual mode, tone data is not sent as MIDI standardized "Program Number" but, as Kawai's unique "Exclusive data".

(b) Using black keys

In addition to transmission with the TONE SELECTORS, you can also use the black keys on the instrument to send program numbers 0 through 127.

Step 1

Make sure that the digital piano is in the programming mode.

The flashing LED of the PIANO 1 button indicates that the piano is ready to transmit a program number.

Step 2

Select the program number by pressing the corresponding pair of black keys at the lower end of the keyboard.

There are a total of 128 numbers possible: the first thirteen black keys give the first and second digits ("00" - "12") of this three digit numbers; the next ten, the final digit ("0" - "9").

Note

You must press the two keys in order from left to right.

• Example

· Program No. 3

- Press the "0" key and then the "3" key.

· Program No. 20

- Press the "20" key and then the "0" key.

· Program No. 42

- Press the "40" key and then the "2" key.

Note

★When transmitting a program number that has the same tens digit as the number being sent (such as, for instance, transmitting 33 after sending 31), you don't need to press the tens digit. The number can be transmitted simply by pressing the ones digit.

★ The tens digit is set at "0" when the programming mode is entered.

Step 3

Leave the programming mode.

C. Turning MULTI TIMBRE on and off

Normally, the procedure described above is used to transmit or receive data on a set MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16), but by turning the MULTI TIMBRE function on you can receive more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously play a different type of timbre on each one. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the Kawai Q-80EX/DRP-10 to assemble performances with a number of timbres (MULTI TIMBRE) on the digital piano.

There are two parameters to which the MULTI TIMBRE mode can be set. MULTI TIMBRE 1 produces the preset sound directly corresponding to the channel of the MIDI signal received. MULTI TIMBRE 2 lets you set which sound will be on or off for each channel of signal received.

Step 1 Make sure that the digital piano is in the programming mode.

Step 2 Press the PIANO 2 button to set the LED above the PIANO 2 button flashing.

Step 3 The white and black keys on the far right of the keyboard are used to turn the MULTI TIMBRE mode on and off.

Pressing the white key on the extreme right turns on MULTI TIMBRE 1, the white key second from the extreme right turns on MULTI TIMBRE 2, and the black key turns off MULTI TIMBRE.

When MULTI TIMBRE is off and a MIDI signal is received, the preset sound currently selected will produce the sound.

When MULTI TIMBRE 1 is on, the preset sound that corresponds with the MIDI channel (shown on p. 36) will automatically produce the sound.

When MULTI TIMBRE 2 is on, you can select which sound will be on and off for each channel of reception.

When MIDI data is received while the MULTI TIMBRE function is off, it will be played according to whichever TONE SELECTOR is currently selected.

When the MULTI TIMBRE 1 mode is on, the received MIDI data will be played in the timbre corresponding to the MIDI channel shown in the chart below, regardless of the TONE SELECTOR currently in effect.

Channel	Timbre	Channel	Timbre
1	PIANO 1	9	E. PIANO 2
2	PIANO 2	10	Empty
3	E. PIANO	11	CLAVI
4	JAZZ ORGAN	12	PIPE ORGAN
5	CHURCH ORGAN	13	BELL
6	HARPSICHORD	14	WOOD BASS
7	VIBRAPHONE	15	ELECTRIC BASS
8	STRINGS	16	SLAP BASS

★ The default setting for the MULTI TIMBRE mode ON/OFF when the keyboard's power is turned on is OFF.

Step 4

Leave the programming mode.

D. Turning on and off individual sounds when using MULTI TIMBRE 2 mode

When MULTI TIMBRE 2 mode is on, use the following steps to turn on or off each sound.

Step 1

Enter the programming mode.

Step 2

Press E.PIANO button.

The flashing LED will move from PIANO 1 to E.PIANO indicating that the keyboard is in the programming mode for setting which sounds will be on and off, and turning local control on and off when using MULTI TIMBRE 2 mode.

Step 3

Use the black and white keys at the left end of the keyboard to set the sound for each channel on or off.

Use the 16 white keys at the left end of the keyboard to set the channels to ON. Use the 16 black keys at the left end of the keyboard to set the channels to OFF.

Step 4

Press CHORUS button to exit the programming mode.

Note

★The default setting in the MULTI TIMBRE 2 mode, the sound for 2 to 10 channels is off.
★In the MULTI TIMBRE 2 mode, receiving the program change data for individual channels makes it possible to change the tone color which corresponds to the table given below.

3	JAZZ ORGAN	9	CLAVI	15~127	PIANO 1
4	CHURCH ORGAN	10	PIPE ORGAN
5	HARPSICHORD	11	BELL

E. LOCAL CONTROL

This mode is used to set whether the sound from the piano's keyboard will be played or not, and is called the LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF mode.

Step 1

Make sure that the piano is in the programming mode. After turning off the MULTI TIMBRE mode, press the E.PIANO button. The flashing LED will change from PIANO 2 to E.PIANO.

Step 2

Press the highest white or black key to turn LOCAL CONTROL on or off.

White key (ON) : The piano will output sound when the keys are struck. Black key (OFF) : Sound will be output only when MIDI data is received, and not when the keyboard is played.

★You can also turn this on by turning the power off and then on again, instead of using the highest key as described above.

Step 3

Press the CHORUS button to leave the programming mode.

F. One Touch Local Control OFF
