2. Basic Operations
2.1 Getting Ready
Since the MP8II has no built-in speakers, you will need to connect a mixer,
keyboard amplifier or headphones in order to listen.
Turn the MP8II on, using the POWER SWITCH on the rear panel.
It is recommended to turn the MP8II on before turning on any amplifiers in
order to avoid switching noise.
What you need to know before starting:
Please read this part for a better understanding of the MP8II structure.
The MP8II’s SOUND and SETUP modes are largely the same. The main difference
between the two is that SETUP is used to recall stored SETUPs. Edits and
changes can be made freely in either mode, using the 4 faders, 4 knobs and
MENU functions, however edits made in SOUND mode will be lost when the
power is turned OFF and must therefore be stored in SETUP mode.
In order to start from scratch, use the SOUND mode and press PIANO ONLY
first.
In order to modify a SETUP, select the desired SETUP, perform any edits, and
store the changes as a SETUP.
If selected sounds do not sound correct, it is possible that parameters (knobs
etc.) were edited. To restore sounds to their default setting, use the PIANO
ONLY function, then re-select the desired sound.

6.1 Editing Procedure and Parameters
First, press the ZONE SELECT button for the zone to be edited.
Next, press the MENU buttons until the parameter you want to edit appears in
the DISPLAY. When a zone is set as Both, pressing the ZONE SELECT button
again will switch the menu list from Internal to External or vice versa.
Set the value of the parameter using the VALUE buttons.
Since each parameter has a different value range, consult the following pages
for the details. Repeat this procedure for any other parameters in any of the
zones that need to be modified.
Save these settings using the STORE button.
(See page43 for detail)
Note:
Once you enter the edit mode from SETUP mode by pressing the MENU button,
the mode automatically changes to SOUND mode and the SOUND SELECT
buttons are used to select sounds, not SETUPs.
You can exit the edit mode by pressing the EXIT(SW) button. Any edits you
have made so far will be retained to SOUND mode. If you exit the edit mode
by pressing SOUND or SETUP buttons, your changes will be lost and the
previously saved settings are recalled.
6.2 Edit Parameters
Zone parameters can be edited individually for each zone. There are two
parameter groups, Internal parameter group and External parameter group. If
a zone is set to Int, only Internal parameters are available for editing. If a zone
is set to Ext, only External parameters are available for editing. If a zone is set
to Both, both Internal and External parameters are available for editing.
6.2.1 Zone Mode
This parameter sets the Zone mode. The example shows that the Zone 1 is set
to Both mode.
6.2.2 Sound (Int only)
This parameter determines which internal sound is assigned for the selected
zone.
6.2.3 Damper Resonance (Int Piano only)
When the sustain pedal is depressed, the volume of the whole resonance can
be changed to the level you prefer. The value changes from 0 (off) to 10.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
33
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
6.2.4 String Resonance (Int Piano only)
The volume of string resonance can be changed to the level you prefer. The
value changes from 0 (off) to 10.
<String Resonance>
In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key
is pressed, strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note
played resonate. This effect is called "sound resonance", which makes the
sound of an acoustic piano full and rich.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.5 Key-off Effect (Int Piano only)
Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played strongly and released
quickly, there will be the sound of the damper touching the strings immediately
before the sound stops. The key-off effect simulates this phenomenon, and
allows you to adjust the key-off volume to your taste. The value changes from
0 (off) to 10.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.6 Voicing (Int Piano only)
This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the
action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character.
This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano
response for each player and each sound.
The effect is only available for the internal piano sounds. Other sounds cannot
use this parameter.
Normal:
Mellow:
Dynamic:
Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the
entire dynamic range.
Reproduces the effect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a
mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played
notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played
harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces
a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire
dynamic range.
Bright:
Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.
* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.
6.2.7 TX Ch (Ext only)
This parameter sets the MIDI transmit channel for the selected zone. All MIDI
data for the selected zone will be transmitted on this channel. Make sure that
the receiving channel for any external MIDI devices to be controlled from this
zone is set to the same channel as the zone.

6.2.8 TX Prg # (Ext only)
This parameter determines if a Program Change Number will be transmitted
(On) or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled. If you want to switch sounds on
external MIDI devices every time you call the Setup turn this parameter ON.
6.2.9 Prg # (Ext only)
This parameter determines which Program Change Number will be transmitted
when a SETUP is recalled. When the TX Prg # is set to Off, this page won’t be
displayed. Select the desired PRG number for the sound you want to select on
the external MIDI device.
6.2.10 TX Bank (Ext only)
This parameter determines if Program Bank Numbers (MSB, LSB) will be
transmitted (On) or not (Off) when a SETUP is recalled. If your external MIDI
device requires a Bank Select message, turn on this function.
6.2.11 Bank MSB/LSB (Ext only)
This parameter determines which MSB and LSB
Number will be transmitted when this SETUP
is recalled. When the TX Bank is set to Off,
this page won’t be displayed.
In the MIDI standard, there are 128 storage
spaces. The number of storage spaces can
be expanded using an MSB and an LSB.
This is a 3D image of the expanded program change system with the MSB and
LSB. To use these efficiently and correctly, refer to the operation manual of
any external MIDI sound modules that are connected to the MP8II.
6.2.12 Keyborad On/Off (Ext only)
This parameter determines whether or not note data generated by playing the
keys on the MP8II will be transmitted to an external MIDI device. This parameter
is useful when using 2 or more keyboards. When set to OFF the MP8II will not
send any note data to an external MIDI device but the MP8II can still be used
to adjust other connected keyboards or MIDI devices using the knobs, wheels
etc.

Velocity switching is an extremely useful and creative tool for customizing a
performance. Using Velocity Switching, it is possible to have either one sound
switch to another sound at a set velocity, or even for a second sound to be
added in once a certain velocity has been reached, or to have a sound drop out
above or below a set velocity level.
This parameter sets the velocity switch type.
Off:
No effect. The sound plays normally.
Loud:
The selected sound plays only when the key is struck harder than the Vel SW
Val. (See next parameter)
Soft:
The selected sound plays only when the key is struck softer than the Vel SW
Val. (See next parameter)
6.2.15 Velocity Switch Value
This parameter determines switching level of the key velocity.
For the Loud Vel SW :determines the lowest key velocity to sound.
For the Soft Vel SW : determines the highest key velocity to sound.
When the Velosity Switch is set to Off, this page won’t be displayed.

Note:
Each zone can have a separate Velocity Switch Value. By setting the Soft
Zone Velocity Switch Value higher than that of the Loud Zone, a dynamic
area where both sounds play can be created. It is also possible to switch
Internal Zones with External Zones for even more possibilities.
Note2:
Velocity Switch = Loud /Velocity Switch Value = 1
In this settings, it is possible to press a key very softly and hear no sound.
This is just the same as an acoustic piano.
6.2.16 Velocity Compression
This parameter adjusts the keyboard response.
When the value is 10 (default), the keyboard response is normal (same as the
setting in the SYSTEM).
When the value comes closer to 0, the keyboard response becomes less dynamic
and at 0, it becomes completely flat (no touch response).
6.2.17 Velocity Offset
This parameter sets the velocity value used when Velocity Compression is lower
than 10.
For example to get a “No-Velocity” Organ type of playing feeling, set Velocity
Compression to 0 and adjust the velocity level with this parameter to 127 or
any other wanted level of velocity.
When the Velocity Compression is set to 10, this page won’t be displayed.
6.2.18 Zone Transpose
This parameter sets the amount of transposition for the selected zone. The
available range is three octaves up or down (+/-36 semitones).
Note:

6.3 Common Parameters
Common parameters are affecting all zones.
6.3.1 Stretch Tuning
The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not accurate with high frequency
and low frequency as it is with the middle range. The tuning of an acoustic
piano is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally
to the ears.
Off:
The tuning is flat without stretching.
On:
The tuning is always stretched.
Piano:
On W:
The tuning is stretched only when piano sounds are selected.
Same as “On” but the stretching is wider.
Piano W: Same as “Piano” but the stretching is wider.
6.3.2 Temperament
This parameter sets the temperament of the MP8II.
Equal:
This is the most popular tuning method 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.
Pure Maj/min:
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and
fifths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
When playing in a major key select “Pure Maj” and when playing
in a minor key select “Pure Min”.
Pythagor:
Meantone:
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.
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
40
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords that
are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
Werkmeis/Kirnberg: 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.
User:
You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering the
pitch for each half tone.
6.3.3 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.
When Temperament is set to Equal, this page won’t be displayed.
6.3.4 Tuning C - B
When the temperament is set to “User”, adjust the pitch for each key and
create your own temperament. The value changes from -50 to +50.
These pages will only be displayed when the user temperament is selected.
Note:
The value is shown in “cent”. Half tone equals to 100 cents.
6.3.5 Foot SW Control Change Number
This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Footswitch connected
to the FSW jack on the rear panel.
See page72 for the list of Control Change numbers.
If the “SW” is selected, the footswitch is used to turn on/off the SW button.
When the System parameter FootSW is “Setup+” this page won’t be displayed.
6.3.6 EXP Control Change Number
This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Expression Pedal
connected to the EXP jack on the rear panel.
See page72 for the list of Control Change numbers.
If the “AFT” is selected, the expression pedal is used to send After Touch
information.
If the “RTR” is selected, the expression pedal is used to switch the speed of
roter between slow and fast when the Rotary effect is in use.
If the “Pedal Wah” is selected in EFX, the pedal works as a Wah Pedal regardless
of the setting in this parameter.

Wheel Control Change Number, the functions affect the internal sounds, too.
1. Modulation Wheel (MOD)
7. Volume (VOL)
10. Pan (PAN)
11. Expression Controller (EXP)
64. Damper Pedal (HLD)
66. Sostenuto (SST)
67. Soft Pedal (SFT)
6.3.8 Left Pedal Mode
This parameter determines whether the left pedal of the optional F-20 (twin
pedal) accessory functions as Soft or Sost (Sostenuto).
Soft:
Sost:
The Left Pedal works as a Soft Pedal ( Default ).
When the Rotary EFX is in use, the Soft Pedal changes function to a Fast/Slow
Rotor switch.
The Left Pedal works as a Sostenuto Pedal.
When the Damper setting ( see page38 ) is Off or Norm, the sosotenuto pedal
works with natural decay. When the Damper setting is Hold, the sostenuto
pedal works with a steady susutain level.

8.2.2 Touch
This parameter adjusts the touch response curve of the keyboard.
Heavy+: This Curve has a steep rise as velocity increases, and a shallower curve at low
velocities. (see 1) This curve requires the most striking force to produce a
loud volume.
Heavy:
This curve requires a stronger striking force to produce a loud volume. (see
2) This curve is perfect for those with strong fingers.
Normal: This curve recreates the touch response of an average acoustic piano.
Light:
This curve requires less striking force to produce a loud volume. (see 4) This
curve is good for those still developing finger strength.
Light+: This curve requires the least amount of striking force to produce a loud volume.
(see 5) This curve is good for those with a very delicate touch.
Off:
This curve gives a constant velocity level no matter how hard the keyboard is
struck. (see 6) This curve is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic
range such as Organ, Harpsichord and certain synthesizer sounds.
User1,2: You can create your own custom touch curve to fit your playing style. Two
user touch curves can be saved.
User Touch
The touch curve is the main component between the action and the sound.

9.4 Notes about USB
The MP8II can be connected to a personal computer with a USB cable for exchanging MIDI data. You need a
USB driver installed in your computer.
[For Windows XP/Me users]
A standard USB driver is already installed in your computer. You don’t need to install a new driver.
[For Windows 2000/98SE users]
You need to install the designated driver in your computer. Visit the KAWAI web site at
[For Macintosh users]
Macintosh OSX automatically recognizes our USB interface. No special driver is needed. Older Macintosh OS
are not supported by us. If you have an older Macintosh OS, please use an appropriate MIDI interface and MIDI
cables when connecting the MP8II to a Macintosh computer.
NOTE:
When both MIDI jacks and USB jack are connected, USB has priority.
When connecting USB cable to the MP8II, first connect the USB cable and then turn the power of the MP8II on.
It may take some time to start communication when the MP8II is connected to the computer via USB.
When USB communication is unstable with connection via hub, connect the USB cable directly to the USB port
of the computer.
Turning the power of MP8II on/off or disconnecting the USB cable while the following actions may cause
unstable communication.
while installing USB driver
while booting up the computer
while MIDI application is working
while communicating with the computer
while the computer is in energy saver mode
* If you have any problem with USB communication, consult the instruction manual of your computer and check
your computer set up.
* The USB-MIDI conversion board TID10000934 used in the MP8II is approved to show the USB logo. The
USB logo can be used only for the product which is approved by USB-IF (USB Implements Forum Inc.) test.
* Windows is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
* Macintosh is registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.
