CA93/CA63 Feature Highlights

„

RM3 Grand wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surface and ‘Let-Oﬀ’ mechanism (CA93 only)

The CA93 & CA63 digital pianos utilise KAWAI’s latest RM3 Grand wooden-key action, incorporating various grand piano

action characteristics, such as contrasting hammer weights - appropriately graded for each playing range - bass key

counter-balancing, and correctly located pivot points for both black and white keys. This unique ‘seesaw’ movement

provides a consistent, evenly balanced action, while ﬁnely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces not only enhance the

enjoyment of playing, but also help to absorb moisture, thus preventing ﬁngers from slipping.

In addition, the CA93 keyboard action is further equipped with a special ‘Let-Oﬀ’ feature, accurately recreating the subtle

‘click’ sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very gently.

Ultra Progressive Harmonic Imaging (UPHI) with 88-key piano sampling

The CA93 & CA63 digital pianos capture the beautiful sound of KAWAI’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand

piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using

proprietary Ultra Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad

dynamic range of the original grand piano, aﬀording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the

softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.

Additional modelling techniques and eﬀects, such as string and damper resonance, and subtle key-release sounds, are

also applied, delivering a rich selection of vibrant piano tones with breathtaking realism and authenticity.

USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV ﬁle recording and playback.

The CA93 and CA63 digital pianos are equipped with USB connectors that not only allow these instruments to be

connected to a computer for MIDI use, but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This ‘USB to

Device’ feature allows songs recorded and stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI

ﬁles (SMF) downloaded from the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware.

USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio ﬁles, allowing musicians to learn the chords or

melody for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favourite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3

or WAV ﬁles for emailing to friends and family, listening to on an iPod, or for further editing using an audio workstation.

This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider

than the other). This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

It is a good practice to have the instrument near the AC outlet and the power cord plug in a position

so that it can readily be disconnected in an emergency because electricity is always charging

while the plug is in the AC outlet even in a power switch oﬀ condition.

Using the Pedals

As with a grand piano, the CA93/CA63 digital piano

features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

Soft pedal

Sostenuto pedal

Sustain pedal

Sustain pedal (right pedal)

Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

„

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands

have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the

piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before

releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that

have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after

the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.

The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

„

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

When the rotary speaker eﬀect is selected, the soft pedal is also

used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between

'Slow' and 'Fast' eﬀect modes.

Pedal support bolt

„

If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the ﬂoor,

the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt

is fully extended and supports the pedals ﬁrmly.

Caring for the pedals

„

If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.

Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or ﬁles.

Concert Magic song arrangement types

Concert Magic songs are divided into three diﬀerent arrangement types, each requiring a diﬀerent level of

skill to be performed correctly.

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 for ‘Für Elise’. The Note Navigator indicates that a constant, steady rhythm should be maintained

throughout the song. This is the distinguishing characteristic of an Easy Beat song.

Fur Elise

ÄÄÄÄÄÄ<

Key on

X X

Melody Play

„

These songs are also relatively easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the

melody on any key of the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful.

Play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’, for example. Follow the melody’s rhythm as shown below.

Key on

When performing fast Concert Magic songs, it is sometimes easier to tap two diﬀerent keys with two alternating ﬁngers in order

to play at a greater speed.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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 of the keyboard. The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the Skillful type songs.

The song ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ is shown below.

Key on

Virtual Technician

An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a ﬁne acoustic piano. In addition

to meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments

that allow the instrument to truly sing.

The Virtual Technician settings of the CA93/CA63 digital piano simulate these reﬁnements digitally, allowing

performers to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.

Damper Resonance

Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely.

When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of the

notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

The CA93/CA63 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the

volume of this resonance to be adjusted.

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos whereby the strings of held notes

resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic series.

Key-oﬀ Eﬀect

When playing an acoustic piano - particularly in the bass region of the keyboard - if a key is played with

force and released quickly, it is often possible to hear the feint sound of the damper touching the strings

immediately before the vibrations are stopped.

The CA93/CA63 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Key-oﬀ Eﬀect setting allowing the volume

of this sound to be adjusted.

Touch

As with an acoustic piano, the CA93/CA63 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with

force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation

to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.

The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six

diﬀerent preset touch curve settings available, with two additional ‘User’ settings allowing performers to

customise the instrument’s responsiveness to suit their playing style.

Temperament

The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CA93/CA63 digital piano to be changed from

the modern ‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various musical temperaments popularised during

the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Available Temperament types

„

Temperament type

Description

This is the default temperament. When a piano sound is selected, the tuning will be stretched like an

acoustic piano (equal temperament).

Equal Temperament (piano)

(Equal P.only)

* If any other type of sound is selected, the tuning will be set to equal temperament (ﬂat).

Pure Temperament (major)

(Pure Major)

This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and ﬁfths, is still popular in choral music

because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances.

* The key of the temperament, and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.

Pure Temperament (minor)

(Pure Minor)

Pythagorean Temperament

(Pythagorean)

This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for ﬁfths, is very limited for

use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.

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 consonances experienced with certain ﬁfths for the

Mersenne pure temperament.

Meantone Temperament

(Meantone)

It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.

Werckmeister III Temperament These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few

(Werkmeister)

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.

Kirnberger III Temperament

(Kirnberger)

Thisisan‘unstretched’equaltemperamentthatdividesthescaleintotwelveequalsemi-tones. Itproduces

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.

Equal Temperament (ﬂat)

(Equal Flat)

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.

Equal Temperament

(Equal Stretch)

User Temperament

(User)

A custom, user temperament, created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

„

MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT)

channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are

capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and

the transmit channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.

The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.

Transmitting instrument a

Receiving instrument b

Receiving instrument c

Transmitting instrument a sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments b/c.

The information arrives at the receiving instruments b/c.

Receiving instruments b/c will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of

the transmitting instrument a.

If the channels do not match, then the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent.

For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.

USB MIDI information

„

If the instrument’s MIDI IN/OUT jacks and USB MIDI port are

both connected simultaneously, the USB MIDI port will be

given priority.

Disconnecting the USB MIDI cable suddenly, or turning

the instrument on/oﬀ while using USB MIDI may cause

computer instability in the following situations:

- while installing the USB MIDI driver

- while starting up the computer

- while MIDI applications are performing tasks

- while the computer is in energy saver mode

Ensure that the instrument is turned oﬀ before attempting

to connect the USB MIDI cable.

When connecting the instrument to a computer using

the USB MIDI port, there may be a short delay before

communications begin.

If there are any further problems experienced with USB MIDI

communication while the instrument is connected, please

double-check all connections and relevant MIDI settings in

the computer’s operating system.

If the instrument is connected to a computer via a USB

hub and USB MIDI communication becomes unreliable/

unstable, please connect the USB MIDI cable directly to the

one of the computer’s USB ports.

instruments

Connect the instrument

to external speakers,

ampliﬁers, mixers, etc.

Connect the stereo

outputs from other

electronic instruments or

audio equipment to the

instrument’s speakers.

B pin

Connect the instrument to a computer

to exchange MIDI data.

A pin

Connect the instrument to

external MIDI devices.

Before connecting the CA93/CA63 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the

instrument and the other device is turned oﬀ. If connections are established while the power is turned

on, extraneous noise that can damage the CA93/CA63 digital piano may activate the instrument’s

ampliﬁer protection circuit, preventing any sound from being produced. If this occurs, turn the power

oﬀ and then on again to reset the ampliﬁer protection circuit.

Do not connect the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the CA93/CA63 digital piano together with a cable. An

audio loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

LINE IN jacks (1/4” phone jack)

LINE IN STEREO jack (1/8” mini jack)

„

These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs

from other electronic instruments or audio equipment to

the instrument’s speakers. The audio signal from these jacks

bypasses the MASTER VOLUME control, however the the LINE

IN level can be adjusted using the adjustment knob, or by

adjusting the output level of the connected device. To connect

a device in mono, connect the cable to the L/MONO jack only.

This jack is used to connect the stereo output from an external

audio device, such as a CD or MP3 player, to the instrument’s

speakers. The LINE IN adjustment knob cannot be used to

adjust the LINE IN level, therefore please use the volume

controls on device itself.

LINE OUT jacks (1/4” phone jack)

PHONES jacks (1/4” phone jack)

„

These jacks provide stereo output of the instrument’s sound

to external speakers, ampliﬁers, mixers, recording devices, and

similar equipment. The audio signal from the LINE IN jacks is

also routed to these jacks. The MASTER VOLUME slider can be

used to control the output level of the instrument’s own sound

without aﬀecting the level of the LINE IN signal. Mono signals

will be output only if a cable is connected to the L/MONO jack.

ThesejacksareusedtoconnectstereoheadphonestotheCA93/

CA63 digital piano. Two pairs of headphones can be connected

and used simultaneously. When a pair of headphones is

connected, sound will not be produced by the speakers.

USB to Host port (‘B’ type)

USB to Device port (‘A’ type)

„

This USB port is used to connect the CA93/CA63 digital

piano to a computer using an inexpensive USB cable. When

connected, the instrument can be used as a standard MIDI

device, allowing it to send a receive MIDI data. Connect a ‘B’

type USB connector to the instrument, and an ‘A’ type USB

connector to the computer.

This USB port is used to connect a USB memory device to the

CA93/CA63 digital piano. This allows MP3/WAV audio ﬁles,

and SMF song ﬁles to be played directly. It is also possible

to record performances to MP3/WAV audio ﬁles, and save

recorder songs stored in internal memory for posterity.

MIDI IN/OUT/THRU jacks

„

These jacks are used to connect the CA93/CA63 digital piano

to external MIDI devices, and also to a computer with a MIDI

interface as an alternative to the ‘USB to Host’ port.

USB device information

„

The ‘USB to Device’ functionality of the CA93/CA63 digital

piano conforms to USB2.0 Hi-Speed standards. Older USB

devices can still be used, however data transfer speed will

be limited to the maximum transfer speed of the device.

It may be necessary to format the USB memory device

before it can be used with the CA93/CA63 digital piano.

If so, please refer to the ‘Format’ function instructions on

page 81. Formatting the device will erase all data.

The ‘USB to Device’ port is intended for connecting USB

memory devices. USB ﬂoppy drive devices can be used

to save recorder songs stored in internal memory, or play

SMF song ﬁles, yet are not suitable for MP3/WAV audio ﬁle

playback or recording.

Avoid removing the USB memory device will data is being

loaded or saved, ﬁles are being renamed or deleted, or the

device is being formatted.

Other USB devices, such as computer mice, keyboards, or

battery chargers etc. cannot be used with this instrument.
