1. BASIC OPERATIONS  
SETTING UP THE PIANO  
The first thing you’ll need to do before playing the piano is to set up the  
instrument.  
ASSEMBLING THE STAND  
First, you need to assemble the stand unit. Assemble the stand following  
the instructions at the beginning of this manual.  
SUPPLYING AC POWER  
The CA piano is equipped with stereo speakers and an amplifier. You do  
not need any other equipment to play your piano. You can enjoy the CA  
piano wherever AC power is available. Simply connect the power cable  
that comes with the CA piano to an AC outlet.  
Connect the AC power cable to the piano’s power jack and the  
other end of the cable to the AC outlet on the wall.  
USING THE HEADPHONES  
For private performances you may want to use the headphones. The  
speakers will be turned off automatically when the headphones are  
plugged in, and the CA piano will only be heard through the headphones.  
The CA piano has two headphones jacks.  
PLAYING THE PIANO  
Turning on the power.  
You will find the POWER SWITCH at the right end of the front panel.  
Press this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the  
power.  
Adjust the volume level.  
The VOLUME SLIDER controls the volume level of the speakers and the  
headphones. Use this slider to set the volume to a comfortable listening  
level.  
Now try playing the keyboard.  
You will hear the CA’s main piano sound. The name of the sound “Concert  
Grand” is shown in the LCD Display.  
Concert Grand  
10  
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA1200, CA1000  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The CA piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play it. It  
produces a louder sound when you play hard and a softer sound when  
you play soft. The volume level changes in relation to how fast the keys  
are pressed. This system is called “touch sensitivity” on an electronic  
musical instrument. The initial touch sensitivity setting has been adjusted  
to the standard of an acoustic piano. You can however, select a different  
type of touch sensitivity on the CA piano if you are not comfortable with  
the standard setting. For more detail, please read “3. Touch” on page 67.  
USING THE PEDALS  
The CA piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain,  
Soft and Sostenuto.  
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling, which provides  
even finer control of the dampening effect.  
Sustain  
Sostenuto  
Soft  
PLAYING WITH MORE SOUNDS  
You have already heard the CA’s main piano sound. The CA1200 has a  
total of forty sounds (thirty for the CA1000), not only different types of  
piano sounds but different instruments as well.  
The different instrument sounds built into CA piano are called “preset  
sounds”.  
All of the preset sounds have been created through advanced digital  
sampling technology achieving as natural and realistic sound as possible.  
Let’s try some of the preset sounds.  
SELECTING ANOTHER PRESET SOUND  
Pr e ss t he SOUND SE LE CT bu t t on u n de r t he n a me of t he  
instrument you would like to listen to. When the button is pressed,  
the LED indicator will be turned on to indicate that this sound is selected.  
TUTORIAL: BASIC OPERATIONS

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The name of the selected preset sound is also shown in the LCD Display.  
Modern Piano  
The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with three (CA1000) or four  
(CA1200) preset sounds to select. To select the other sounds, press  
the button repeatedly.  
You can also select any preset sounds by using the VALUE buttons.  
USING DEMO FUNCTION  
The CA piano has 27 built-in demo songs. Each of the demo songs presents  
a musical piece to introduce the different preset sounds.  
Press t he DEMO but t on and the demo song for the Classic Grand  
category will start. After the Classic Grand demo songs are finished  
playing, the demo songs for another sound category will be selected at  
random.  
If you would like to listen to the demos for a particular category, just  
press the desired SOUND SELECT button while the demo is playing. When  
you press the button, the demo will play the demo songs for the newly  
selected category. Then the demo songs for another category will be  
selected at random. See page 80 for the list of demo songs.  
DUAL  
Another feature of the CA piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds  
together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered  
with strings, electric piano with choir sound, and so on.  
To layer two sounds, press the SOUND SELECT buttons for both  
sounds simultaneously. The LED indicators for each will be turned on  
to indicate the two sounds you have chosen. You will find the selected  
sound names are also shown in the LCD display.  
Studio Grand  
String Ensemble  
Both sound names are displayed.  
12  
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA1200, CA1000  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds. Use the  
DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider  
to the right to increase the volume of the rightmost preset sound and  
decrease the volume of the leftmost preset sound. The balance changes  
in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.  
SPLIT  
The CA piano provides you with another type of sound combination called  
a split. The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper  
keyboard and lower keyboard—and lets you play a different sound in  
each section.  
Press the SPLIT button to activate the split function. Press the  
SOUND SELECT button for the sound you would like to use for  
the upper keyboard. Then, while holding down the SPLIT button,  
press another SOUND SELECT button to select a sound for the  
lower keyboard. The LED indicator for the upper sound will be turned  
on and the LED for the lower sound will start flashing. The LCD display  
will show the names of the two selected sounds.  
Sound name for the upper keyboard  
Sound name for the lower keyboard  
Studio Grand  
/ Jazz Organ  
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds. Use the  
Dual/Split Balance slider to adjust the balance. Move the slider to  
the right to increase the volume of the upper sound and decrease the  
volume of the lower sound. The balance changes in the opposite way  
when the slider is moved to the left.  
The split point determines where the upper keyboard section will be  
divided from the lower one. You can move the split point to any key you  
like. To do this, please read “8. Split Button” in the Reference section,  
page 56.  
ABOUT POLYPHONY  
The CA piano is capable of playing up to 64 notes simultaneously (64-  
note polyphony). When playing in dual mode, or when playing the stereo  
piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half since the piano has to  
produce two sounds for each note.

ADDING THE EFFECTS  
You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds,  
the LED indicator for the EFFECTS is turned on. The reason for this is  
some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as their initial  
setting.  
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves  
acoustical realism. The CA piano is provided with two separate groups  
of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, delay,  
tremolo and rotary speaker.  
REVERB  
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic  
environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are five types  
of reverb available. They are Room, Stage, Hall, 3D Room and 3D Hall  
(listed in order of reverberation amount).  
CHORUS  
Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or  
string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over  
the original to enrich it.  
DELAY  
Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound. There are three types of  
delay available (delay 1 - 3), each of which has a different length of delay  
between the echoes.  
TREMOLO  
This is a vibrato type effect.  
ROTARY  
This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly  
used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is  
with distortion effect.  
The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW  
and FAST.

USING THE METRONOME  
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is  
important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a  
steady rhythm. The CA piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to  
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.

STARTING THE METRONOME  
Press the TEMPO button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and  
hear the metronome begin counting with a steady beat. The LCD display  
shows the tempo in beats per minute.  
Metronome TEMPO  
Tempo is displayed in number of beats per minute.  
= 120  
To change t he t empo, use t he VALUE but t ons t o incr ease or  
decrease the tempo within the range of 20 - 300 beats per minute.  
(40-600 BPM with eighth note rhythms).  
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.  
CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE  
You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder  
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a  
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing  
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature. The LCD also displays the beats per measure  
visually  
You can select a different time signature, if you want to, out of the nine  
available with the CA piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8.  
To change the time signature, use the BEAT button.  
Press the BEAT button. You will see the LED indicator turn on and  
hear the metronome begin counting. The LCD display shows the time  
signature and a visual indicator of beats per measure.  
Metronome BEAT  
The selected time signature is displayed along with  
a visual indicator of beats per measure.  
= 4/4  
Use the VALUE buttons to select your desired time signature. You  
will see the time signature currently selected in the LCD display. The  
visual indicator will change to match the selected time signature.  
To stop the metronome, press the BEAT button again.  
You can use either the TEMPO or BEAT button to turn the metronome on  
and off. Choose the appropriate button depending on whether you’re  
adjusting the tempo or changing the time signature.

2. USING THE RECORDER  
The CA piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder,  
and it is just as easy to use. The CA piano records a song as digital data  
instead of audio data and stores the song inside the instrument. Because  
the song is stored as digital information you can modify the song when  
you play it back. You can, for example, adjust the tempo without changing  
the pitch or use a different effect setting from one you have recorded.  
Once you understand the recorder, you will find it to be a useful tool for  
both practicing and playing the piano.  
RECORDING A SONG  
Press the REC button when you are ready to record. The LED  
indicator will start flashing telling you that the piano is ready to record.  
Record  
SONG 1 Part=1  
The LCD display shows the song number and part  
number that will be recorded.  
Now play some music on the piano. The recorder will automatically  
start recording with the first note you play.  
Press the PLAY/STOP button when you’re finished recording. The  
CA piano will stop recording and the LCD display will momentarily display  
a message “Stopping” while the song is saved to memory.  
If you make a mistake, you can record your piece again. Just repeat the  
same procedure. The second recording will completely erase the first  
one.  
PLAYING BACK A SONG  
The CA Piano will be ready to play back the song as soon as you’re finished  
recording.  
Select SONG/PART  
SONG 1 Part=1&2*  
The LCD Display shows you the number of the song  
you just recorded.  
Press the PLAY/STOP button to play back the song.  
Press the PLAY/STOP button again to stop play back and return to  
the song-select display.

To exit from the recorder, press any SOUND SELECT button.  
Now, you are familiar with the basic recording procedure on the CA piano.  
For most recording purposes this may be all you need. The CA piano  
however, is equipped with other more powerful and flexible features that  
can be used to record and play back your performances. Continue on to  
learn more about the full capabilities of the recorder.  
BASICS OF THE RECORDER  
Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.  
TWO-TRACK FIVE-SONG RECORDER  
The CA piano’s recorder is a 2-track 5-song recorder. This means you  
can record up to five different songs, store them in memory, and play  
them back as you like.  
Each song has two separate tracks called “Parts” that can be recorded  
separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on  
one track, then record the right hand part next on the other track while  
listening to the first track.  
When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)  
of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are  
recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous  
recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when  
recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to  
select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording  
over the first part of the song.  
RECORDED INFORMATION  
The CA piano records the following:  
Note information  
Sound selection  
Pedal movements  
Dual settings . . . Set the dual balance as desired before you start  
recording. Balance settings made before you  
start recording will be used by the recorder. Any  
changes made during the recording will be  
ignored by the recorder.  
TUTORIAL: USING THE RECORDER  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Transpose . . . . . . When you record in a different key using the  
transpose function, the CA piano will record the  
actual transposed notes you hear, not the notes  
as you play with the keyboard.  
RECORDING CAPACITY  
The total recording capacity is about 8,000 notes. Pressing any buttons  
or pedals is counted as one note.  
When the recorder reaches it’s maximum capacity, the CA piano will stop  
recording at that point.  
RECORDER AND METRONOME  
When playing back a song with the metronome turned on, the metronome  
always restarts with the down beat.  
RECORDING MORE THAN ONE SONG  
The CA piano is capable of recording up to five different songs. Let’s try  
recording a second song.  
If you followed the procedure in the previous section you have already  
recorded Song 1, so now let’s record Song 2.  
Press the REC button to enter the song/part selection menu.  
Use the MENU buttons to change the song number to Song 2.  
Record  
SONG 2 Part=1  
The LCD display shows the song number and part  
number to be recorded.  
When you are ready to record, just start playing the keyboard.  
The CA piano will start recording automatically with the first note you  
play.  
When you are finished recording, press the PLAY/STOP button.  
Now let’s play back the song that you have just recorded.  
Press the PLAY/STOP button again to play back the song.  
The LCD display shows the song number you have  
just recorded.  
Playing  
SONG 2 Part=1&2*

Press the PLAY/STOP button again to stop.  
If you would like to listen to a different song, use the MENU buttons  
to select your desired song number.  
◆ NOTE  
You have probably noticed that there is an asterisk (*) after the part  
number in the LCD display. This is a indicates that the selected song has  
been recorded. You can tell which songs have been recorded by looking  
for the asterisk.  
RECORDING THE TRACKS SEPARATELY  
Now let’s record two tracks separately.  
First, you select the desired track (part) to record. After recording the  
first part, select the other track and record your second part.  
Press the REC button to enter the song/part selection menu.  
Record  
SONG 3 Part=1  
The LCD display shows the song number and part  
number to record.  
Use the MENU buttons to select song 3.  
Record the first part just the same as in the previous sections and  
press the PLAY/STOP button when you’re finished recording.  
Now press the REC button to enter the song/part menu then select  
Part 2 to record.  
Use the VALUE buttons to select part 2.  
Record  
SONG 3 Part=2  
The LCD display shows the song and part number  
to be recorded.  
If you want to start recording the second part from the beginning of the  
song, just play the keyboard. You will hear the first part playing back  
while you record the second part.  
TUTORIAL: USING THE RECORDER

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If you would like to play back the first part and then start recording the  
second part from a certain point later in the song, press the PLAY/STOP  
button instead of playing the keyboard to start playback of the first part  
and then begin recording the second part from any point you like.  
When you are finished recording, press t he PLAY/STOP but t on  
again.  
PLAYING BACK THE PARTS SEPARATELY  
While you are in the play back menu, use the VALUE buttons to  
select the desired part number you want to listen to.  
Playing  
An asterisk indicates that the part has been recorded.  
SONG 3 Part=2*  
You can select between, “Part 1”, “Part 2”, and “Part 1&2”. To check that  
you have recorded on both tracks, select “Part 1”, then select “Part 2”.  
You will see an asterisk after each part, this means you have successfully  
recorded both parts.  
To listen to both parts together select “Part 1&2”.  
To play back an individual part, select the desired part using the  
VALUE button first, then press the PLAY/STOP button to listen.  
◆ NOTE  
If you don’t see an asterisk after each part you recorded or if your song  
does not play back correctly, carefully reread the previous section to make  
sure you’re recording properly. You can use the LCD display to help  
determine if you have a problem.  
Here are some basic things to check for:  
1) If you only hear the second part, you may have accidentally recorded  
over the first part. In this case, just re record the first part you played  
after selecting the “empty” part to record (in this case it will probably be  
part 2).  
2) Did you record one of the parts in a different song? In this case record  
the missing part in the appropriate song.

At some point you may want to erase a song. If you have filled up the  
memory of the recorder you can erase an old song to make room for a  
new one or maybe you’re tired of listening to a particular song. In either  
case, the CA piano provides an easy way to erase one or all of the songs  
and parts.  
To erase a specific song or part, first press both the REC and PLAY/  
STOP button. The LCD display will display the erase menu where you  
select a song or a part to erase.

The CA piano’s built-in recorder is easy to use and is perfect for practice  
and basic recording needs. For those individuals interested in using this  
instrument for more complex digital recordings, the CA piano can be  
connected to an external MIDI sequencer or a personal computer. Please  
read chapter 3. Using MIDI to learn about the CA piano’s MIDI and Multi-  
timbral capabilities.

3. USING MIDI  
In this chapter you will learn how you can create music by connecting  
the CA piano to an external MIDI device.  
The CA piano is compatible with MIDI devices from Kawai and other  
manufacturers. It can also be used with sequencing software on a personal  
computer.  
UNDERSTANDING MIDI  
WHAT IS MIDI?  
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an  
international standard for connecting MIDI equipped synthesizers, drum  
machines, and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange  
data. Personal computers can also be equipped for MIDI communication.  
Electronic instruments equipped with MIDI can transmit and receive  
performance data such as, notes, what sound to play, pedal information,  
volume, etc. This data can be recorded with a device like a sequencer or  
a computer.  
MIDI JACKS  
Instruments equipped with MIDI usually have three jacks for exchanging  
data: IN, OUT, and THRU. (Some instruments have only IN and OUT.)  
These jacks are used to connect MIDI devices to one another using a  
special cable.  
Each terminal has a different function.  
IN  
: For receiving MIDI data from another MIDI instrument.  
: For sending MIDI data to another MIDI instrument.  
OUT  
THRU :For passing along MIDI data received to another MIDI  
instrument without processing.  
Depending on how they are connected, instruments are grouped as those  
which receive data (producing sound when data is received from a  
connected instrument), those which send data (to instruments to which  
they are connected), and those which both send and receive data.

MIDI CHANNEL  
MIDI uses what are known as “channels” as a means of routing MIDI  
data intended to play a specified instrument or specified part. By  
channelizing MIDI data, you can control multiple parts in multiple  
instruments with a single cable.  
There are two aspects of channels, one for receiving and one for sending.  
The MIDI channel of the receiving instrument must be matched with the  
MIDI channel of the transmitting instrument. The idea is just like television  
or radio. If you have a desired station to watch or listen to, you need to  
tune in to the right channel. When a transmitting instrument uses channel  
1, the receiving instrument must be set to use channel 1 also. The CA  
piano lets you set the same channel number for both Transmit and receive.  
There are 16 MIDI channels available to choose from on the CA piano.  
In addition to channel-to-channel connection, it is possible to receive  
multiple channels. With MIDI instruments equipped with multi-timbral  
capabilities, you can receive multiple parts on multiple channels each  
played with a different sound simultaneously. For example, a MIDI  
instrument might receive the melody on channel 1, the chords on 2, the  
bass on 3, and assign a different instrument to each channel. Piano for  
channel 1, strings for 2, electric bass for 3. In this way, the CA piano can  
play up to 16 different parts each with a different sound.  
Here’s a diagram (next page) to summarize the MIDI connections we have  
discussed.  
Instrument #1, which is transmitting the piano part on channel 1 (Ch 1),  
the string part on Ch 2 and the bass part on Ch 3, is connected to Instrument  
#2. Instrument #3 is connected to MIDI Thru on instrument #2. The receive  
channel is set to 1 for Instrument #2 and multi-timbral mode is turned off.  
On instrument #3 multi-timbral mode is on.

We have provided this brief look at MIDI to help you understand the CA  
piano’s MIDI capabilities.  
While it is beyond the scope of this manual to explain the entire world of  
MIDI we do encourage you to visit your local music store or contact a  
music publisher for a listing of available books on MIDI applications to  
learn more.  
Let’s explore some MIDI applications using an external MIDI device  
connected to the CA piano.  
USING THE CA PIANO AS CONTROLLER  
First let’s play sounds from an external MIDI device using the CA piano’s  
keyboard.  
MIDI CONNECTION  
First, connect the CA piano’s MIDI OUT jack to your external MIDI  
device’s MIDI IN jack with a MIDI cable.

Next you must match the MIDI channel. The transmitting channel of the  
CA piano and receiving channel of your external MIDI device must be the  
same.  
CHANGING TRANSMITTING CHANNEL  
To change the transmit channel on the CA piano, press the MENU  
button several times until you see “5. MIDI Channel”.  
5 MIDI Channel  
= 1 (TRS/RCV)  
The LCD display will indicate the channel number  
that is currently selected.  
Change the channel by using the VALUE buttons. You can select  
from 1 to 16.  
Press any SOUND SELECT button to exit from the function menu.  
AUDIO CONNECTION  
If your external MIDI device is not equipped with an amplifier or speakers,  
you can connect it directly to the CA piano using the LINE IN jacks or to  
an external sound system.  
Connect the LINE IN jacks of the CA piano and the LINE OUT  
( audio output) jacks of your external MIDI device with a pair of  
audio cables ( see the illustration above) . Now you will be able to  
hear the CA piano’s sound and your external MIDI device's sound together  
through the CA’s speakers. Use the volume control on your external MIDI  
device to balance it's volume with the CA piano.  
Now You’re ready to play.  
Play the CA piano’s keyboard. You should hear both instruments as you  
play. What is happening is that the CA piano is transmitting MIDI  
information, what note you played, how hard (loud) you played it, and so  
on to your external MIDI device. The external MIDI device reproduces  
sound based on this information using its own sound module.  
28  
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA1200, CA1000  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
PROGRAM CHANGE  
Press a SOUND SELECT button on the CA. You will hear the sound on  
your external MIDI device also changes. Pressing a SOUND SELECT  
button lets the CA piano transmit a “program change” number. A program  
change is the type of MIDI command that tells the receiving instrument  
what sound or instrument to play your notes with.  
Actual program change information is just a number, from 1 to 128, not an  
instrument name. You select the desired instrument with a specific number.  
Not all MIDI instruments assign the same sound to the same program change  
number. MIDI instruments that conform to the General MIDI (GM) standard  
however “DO” assign the same sound to the same program change number.  
For example program change #1 will always be an acoustic piano sound on  
a “GM” compatible synth, and program change #33 will always be an acoustic  
bass sound. Because of this, when connecting two “GM” instruments  
together, selecting the right sound is not a problem. The CA piano is not a  
General MIDI instrument and its internal sounds do not conform to the  
General MIDI standard. This means when you select a sound on the CA  
piano such as Classic E. Piano you will probably hear a different sound  
playing from your external MIDI device. What sound you hear will depend  
on the sound assignments on your external MIDI device. Below is a chart  
of the Program Change number/sound assignment mapping for the first  
twelve CA piano sounds and the first twelve “GM” sounds. Please see page  
75 in the reference section for more detail. The CA piano can have different  
mappings depending on the setting for multi-timbral mode (explained later  
in this chapter).

In order for your external MIDI device to play the sound you want, you  
need to know what program change number to transmit to it. Please read  
your external MIDI device’s manual for a list of its program change number/  
sound assignments. Then read “Sending Program Change Numbers” in  
the Reference section, page 48 for the procedure to send a desired program  
change number from the CA piano.  
That is how to layer the CA piano’s sound with a desired sound from an  
external MIDI device.  
LOCAL CONTROL  
You may want to play and only hear your external MIDI device’s sound,  
without the CA piano’s sound. You can turn off the CA piano’s sound  
using a function called “local control”.  
Local control determines whether or not the CA piano will produce a  
sound when you play it’s own keyboard. When local control is on, the CA  
piano produces sound as you play the keys. When off, the piano will not  
produce a sound when you play the keys. The CA piano’s keyboard will  
however, continue to transmit MIDI information to an external MIDI  
device.  
Press the MENU buttons until you see “7. Local Control”.  
7 Local Control  
= On  
The LCD display will read “on”, which means the  
piano is currently set to local control on.  
To turn it off, use the VALUE buttons.  
Press any SOUND SELECT button to exit from the function menu.  
Play the keyboard and you will hear only the sound from your external  
MIDI device.  
To change the sound from the CA piano, select the desired number as  
explained in the Reference section and send it from the CA piano to your  
external MIDI device.  
It may be possible to change preset sounds directly on your external MIDI  
device. In this case you may want to set the CA piano so that it does not  
transmit program changes. Read “8. Transmit Program Change On/Off”  
in the reference section on page 49 to learn how to prevent the CA piano

USING THE CA PIANO AS A MULTI-TIMBRAL SOUND MODULE  
The CA piano can also be used as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module.  
Your CA piano is capable of playing back for example, a four part song  
with two piano parts, a string part, and a choir part all sent from an external  
MIDI sequencer or a personal computer. You can also play the CA piano  
along with a recorded song.  
To set the CA piano to receive MIDI as a multi-timbral instrument it must  
be connected with an external MIDI device or personal computer with  
appropriate software.  
Connect the CA piano’s MIDI IN jack and your external MIDI device’s  
MIDI OUT jack with a MIDI cable. Please note that the MIDI information  
is now being transmitted the opposite of our earlier setup. The CA piano  
is now receiving MIDI data from your external MIDI device.

MIDI CHANNEL  
The next step is to match your MIDI channels. When receiving MIDI data  
on the CA piano with multi-timbral mode ON, it is not necessary to specify  
a MIDI channel to use because the CA piano can receive data on multiple  
MIDI channels at once. You do have to be careful to match MIDI channels  
between each part. A MIDI channel can only have one sound assigned to  
it at a time. You must set the MIDI channel for each part on both the  
transmitting (external MIDI device) and the receiving (CA piano) MIDI  
devices. For example, channel 1 for piano, ch 2 for strings, ch 3 for choir,  
etc.

MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE  
Multi-timbral On is a setup for 16-channel multi-timbral operation. You  
can mute the channels separately. Each channel recognizes the program  
change numbers as listed on page 75.  
Multi-timbral Off turns off the multi-timbral capability. If you would  
like to have the CA piano receive MIDI data on a single channel and ignore  
all data on the other channels set multi-timbral to “Off”. Remember, if  
you want the CA piano to receive MIDI information from an external  
device, in this setup you must match the receiving channel with the  
transmitting channel. Program change numbers are recognized as listed  
on page 75.  
To demonstrate the multi-timbral capability of the CA piano, let’s choose  
Multi-timbral On.  
Press the MENU buttons until you see “9. Multi Timbre”.  
9 Multi Timbre  
= Off  
The LCD display will read “OFF”, which means Multi-  
timbral Off is currently selected.  
Use the VALUE buttons to select Multi-timbral On. The display  
will read “ON”.  
After choosing the multi-timbral setting, press any SOUND SELECT button  
to exit from the function menu.  
Let’s see how this works using an external MIDI device. If you have a  
keyboard connected to the CA piano try playing some notes. You should  
hear the CA piano as you play. If you have a MIDI song player or personal  
computer with MIDI software connected try sending some MIDI song data  
with one or more different musical parts to the CA. Again you should  
hear the CA piano playing all the parts. In multi-timbral mode, if you  
want to hear a particular sound for each part you transmit to the CA you  
must send the correct Program/sound number from the transmitting MIDI  
device to the CA piano. Please see page 75 for a list of the Program/  
sound number assignments for the CA piano.

If you own a “GM” sound module you’ll probably want to use it as your  
multi-timbral module instead of the CA piano. If you have a hardware  
sequencer or personal computer but do not own another sound module,  
you can enjoy sixteen-part multi-timbral capability with only the CA piano.  
MIDI may seem a little difficult to work with at first, but once mastered it  
offers many new and exciting ways to enjoy music.  
While this manual avoids going into too much detail regarding the technical  
aspects of MIDI such as “system exclusive data”, for those who are more  
familiar with MIDI or want to be, this manual provides technical MIDI  
information and a MIDI Implementation Chart, on page 76 and 77.

4. PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC  
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, “Playing  
the keyboard is simple. Just strike the 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 the right keys thanks to Concert Magic.  
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CA 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 176 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 piano 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 CA piano.  
Now let’s see how CONCERT MAGIC works.  
SELECTING A SONG  
The 176 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 piano keys,  
two songs for each key. There are two banks of songs, Bank A and Bank B.  
Each bank contains 88 songs.  
The songs are also classified in eight groups by song category such as  
Children’s Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs.  
All of the song titles are listed on page 76 in the reference section of this  
manual. To make it easier to find which song is assigned to which key,  
there is a key strip that can be placed between the end of black keys and  
the front panel. The key strip indicates song categories, and note names.  
To select a song, press t he key t o which your desired song is  
assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.  
The LCD display shows you the song number and  
abbreviated song title.  
A01  
Twinkle Twinkle  
You have selected a song in Bank A. To select a song in Bank B, press  
the same key again. The LCD display shows you another song title with  
“B” at the beginning. Repeatedly pressing the key switches between the  
two banks.

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 PLAY/STOP button. The CA piano will start playing  
back the selected song. You can adjust the speed or tempo of the song by  
using the VALUE buttons while holding down the TEMPO button. While  
you are listening you can select a different Concert Magic song by using  
the VALUE buttons.  
Twinkle Twinkle  
+ + • •  
The circles turn into small plus signs as the song is  
playing.  
You probably noticed that the circles in the LCD display turn into smaller  
plus signs as the song is played back. This is called the Note Navigator.  
These circles and plus signs provide a visual guide that shows you when  
to press the next key. The space between the circles and position of the  
circles in the LCD shows you the approximate timing between each key  
press.  
The key to performing using Concert Magic is to know the rhythm of the  
song. The Note Navigator provides a rough outline of the songs rhythm,  
that will help you to learn the song’s rhythm and then perform it by  
yourself.  
If you want to listen to a different song, press the key to which  
your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT  
MAGIC button. To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button.  
When you are finished listening to the song, press t he PLAY/STOP  
button again 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 the piano’s 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 CA 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  
practice to play beautifully. Each of the 176 Concert Magic songs falls  
into one of three different arrangement types 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 the keyboard.  
Look at the following example, “Für Elise”. The Note Navigator indicates  
that you should keep a constant steady rhythm all the way through the  
song. This is the distinguishing character of an Easy Beat song.  
Fur Elise

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 key on  
the 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.

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 key on the keyboard, like “Waltz of the  
Flowers” shown below. The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the  
Skillful songs.

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.  
◆ NOTE  
In the song list in the reference section on page 78, the arrangement type  
is marked next to each song title as “EB” for Easy Beat, “MP” for Melody  
Play and “SK” for Skillful.

4.TEMPERAMENT  
The CA piano 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.  
After Selecting the “Temperament” function by pressing the MENU  
buttons, use theVALUE buttons to select your desired temperament.  
The LCD display shows the type of temperament  
currently selected.  
4 Temperament  
= Equal(P.only)  
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS  
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)  
This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is  
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other  
type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explantion  
of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is  
provided later in this section.  
4 Temperament  
= Equal(P.only)  
◆ NOTE  
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds  
will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.  
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).  
4 Temperament  
= Pure(Major)  
4 Temperament  
= Pure(minor)  
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.  
4 Temperament  
= Pythagorean

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.  
4 Temperament  
= Meantone  
WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT  
KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT  
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and  
Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces  
the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals 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.  
4 Temperament  
= Werckmeister  
4 Temperament  
= Kirnberger  
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.  
4 Temperament  
= Equal(flat)  
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.  
4 Temperament  
= Equal  
USER TEMPERAMENT  
You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering the pitch for  
each half tone.  
4 Temperament  
= User  
Select the User temperament by using the VALUE buttons. Then  
use the MENU buttons to show the pitch data for each half tone.  
4 Temperament  
The display shows the current pitch for C key.  
C =  
0
Use the VALUE buttons to change the pitch by cent.

Continue the same procedure to set the pitch for all keys.  
◆ NOTE  
The user temperament data is saved automatically even after the power  
is turned off. However, You must re select the user temperament each  
time you turn the power on unless you save it as your default temperament  
by using the User Memory function. Please see page 48 in this section for  
more information on User Memory.  
◆ NOTE  
After you have selected the desired temperament, please read the following  
section on selecting a key signature for the temperament before  
continuing.  
5. KEY OF TEMPERAMENT  
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.  
After selecting the “Key Signature” function by pressing the MENU  
buttons, use the VALUE buttons to set the desired key.  
5 Key of Temper  
= C  
The LCD display shows the currently selected key  
signature .  
Please note that 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.

15. PEDALS  
SUSTAIN PEDAL  
SOSTENUTO PEDAL  
SOFT PEDAL  
SUSTAIN PEDAL  
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound even after removing your hands  
from the keyboard. The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half  
pedaling, which provides even finer control of the dampening effect.  
SOSTENUTO PEDAL  
SOFT PEDAL  
Depressing this pedal after pressing the keyboard and before releasing  
the keys, sustains the sound of only the keys just played.  
Depressing this pedal softens the sound and also reduces its volume.  
When the Rotary Speaker effect is turned on, this pedal works as a switch  
to change effect speed.

16. JACKS  
LINE OUT JACKS  
These jacks provide stereo output of the piano’s sound to amplifiers, tape  
recorders or similar equipment.  
The audio signal coming through the LINE IN jacks is also routed to these  
jacks. The piano’s sound is mixed with the LINE IN signals.  
The CA piano’s VOLUME slider can control the output level of its own  
sound while it does not control the LINE IN signal.  
LINE IN JACKS  
These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs from other audio  
equipment or electronic instruments to the piano’s speakers.  
The audio signal coming through these jacks bypasses the piano’s volume  
control. To adjust the volume level, use the output control of the external  
device.  
MIDI JACKS  
These jacks are used to connect external MIDI devices with the CA piano.  
There are three terminals: MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU.  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
This jack is used to connect with a personal computer and exchange MIDI  
data. Select the proper setting for your computer using the selector. PC1:  
NEC Computers, PC2: IBM PC & compatibles, Mac: Apple Computers,  
MIDI: Serial Interface disabled. Select this setting when using the MIDI  
jacks. You need the serial MIDI driver when connecting with a Windows  
computer. It is available at http://www.kawai.co.jp/english/  
download2.html on the internet web.  
HEADPHONE JACKS  
There are two jacks for headphones provided at the left end on the bottom  
of the piano.  
You can hear the piano’s sound as well as any audio signal that is coming  
through the LINE IN.
