Feature Highlights
‘Responsive Hammer II’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-o simulation
The new Responsive Hammer II (RHII) action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its realistic
movement and accurate 3-sensor technology providing a smooth, natural, and highly responsive piano playing experience.
The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers of an
acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo and
staccato passages.
The CN34 digital piano also features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb nger moisture to assist the player’s
performance, while, let-o simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch’ sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand
piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.
Progressive Harmonic Imaging (PHI) with 88-key piano sampling
The CN34 digital piano captures 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 Progressive
Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.
The instrument’s built-in Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the acoustic piano sound to be shaped at
the touch of a button, with settings to adjust string and damper resonance. This personalised piano sound is further enhanced
with atmospheric reverberation eects, delivering a rich, vibrant piano tone with breathtaking realism and authenticity.
USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV le recording and playback
The CN34 digital piano is equipped with USB connectors that not only allow the instrument 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 registration
memories and songs recorded and stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI les (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 les, 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
les for emailing to friends and family, listening to on a smartphone, or for further editing using an audio workstation.
Wide range of connectivity options
The CN34 digital piano features a variety of standard connectivity options, with Line-level output jacks that allow the
instrument to be enjoyed in larger settings such as churches and schools. Standard MIDI and USB to Host connectors ensure
exibility when using computers and other electronic instruments.

Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the rotary speaker eect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ eect modes.
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
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.
Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board
to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the oor
and supports the pedals rmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the oor, the pedal board may become
damaged.

Playing the Piano
As with an acoustic piano, the CN34 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 function allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be changed to one of ve dierent settings:
Light +, Light, Heavy, Heavy + or O.
To uc h Cu r ve t ypes
Touch Curve Description
Light + Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.
Light A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing nger strength.
* This touch curve is recommended for children and organ players.
Normal (default) Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano.
* This touch curve is used when the Touch function is turned o.
Heavy Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger ngers.
Heavy + Requires considerably more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
O (constant) A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.
* This touch curve intended for playing sounds of instruments that have a xed dynamic range (e.g. organ and harpsichord).

An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a ne 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 CN34 digital piano simulate these renements digitally, allowing performers
to shape various aspects of the instrument’s character to suit their personal preferences.

Damper Resonance
Pressing the damper 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 pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played
vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

String Resonance
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.
The CN34 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the String Resonance setting allowing the volume of this
resonance to be adjusted.
Demonstrating String Resonance
To experience the string resonance phenomenon, gently hold down the ‘C’ key as shown in the illustration below, then press any of
the keys marked with a z symbol. In addition to the sound of each note played, it should also be possible to hear the strings of the

Key-o Eect
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 faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before
the vibrations are stopped.
In addition, the speed at which keys are lifted will also aect the character of the sound. For example, when lifting
the keys quickly (e.g. staccato playing) the ‘release’ portion of the sound will be noticeably shorter than when
lifting the keys slowly (e.g. legato playing).
The CN34 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-o Eect setting allowing the volume of the
key-o sound to be adjusted, and the key-o release speed detection to be turned on or o.

Temperament
The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CN34 digital piano to be changed from the modern
‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and
Baroque periods.
Temperament types
Temperament type Description
Equal Temperament (piano)
(Equal P.only)
This is the default temperament. When a piano sound is selected, the tuning will be stretched like an
acoustic piano (equal temperament).
* If any other type of sound is selected, the tuning will be set to equal temperament (at).
Pure Temperament
(Pure Major/Pure Minor)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fths, 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.
Pythagorean Temperament
(Pythagorean)
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fths, is very limited for
use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.
Meantone Temperament
(Meantone)
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 fths for the
Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.
Werckmeister III Temperament
(Werkmeister)
Kirnberger III Temperament
(Kirnberger)
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.
Equal Temperament (at)
(Equal Flat)
This is an ‘unstretched’ equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones. It 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.
Equal Temperament
(Equal Stretch)
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.

MIDI Overview
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting
musical instruments, computers, and other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.
MIDI Terminals
MIDI terminal Function
MIDI IN Receiving note, program change, and other data.
MIDI OUT Sending note, program change, and other data.
MIDI channels
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 aReceiving instrument bReceiving 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, 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.
Recording/playing with a sequencer
When connected to a sequencer (or a computer running MIDI
sequencing software), the CN34 digital piano can be used to
record and playback multi-track songs, with separate sounds
playing simultaneously on each channel.

Multi-timbral mode and Split/Dual mode
Using Split mode with Multi-timbral mode enabled
Notes played in the lower section of the keyboard will be
transmitted on the channel that is 1 channel higher than the
specied channel. For example, if the MIDI channel is set to
3, notes played in the lower section of the keyboard will be
transmitted on channel 4.
Using Dual mode with Multi-timbral mode enabled
Notes played will be transmitted on two channels: the
specied channel and the channel that is 1 channel higher.

external MIDI devices, and also to a computer with a MIDI
interface as an alternative to the ‘USB to Host’ port.
* Please refer to page 93 for more information about MIDI.
Headphone Panel
PHONESjacks(1/4”phonejack)
These jacks are used to connect stereo headphones to the CN34
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.
USBtoDeviceport(‘A’type)
This USB port is used to connect a USB memory device to the
CN34 digital piano. This allows MP3/WAV audio les, and SMF
song les to be played directly. It is also possible to record
performances to MP3/WAV audio les and SMF, and save
recorder songs stored in internal memory for posterity.
USB device information
The ‘USB to Device’ functionality of the CN34 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.
The ‘USB to Device’ port is intended for connecting USB
memory devices, however USB oppy drive devices can also
be used to save recorder songs stored in internal memory, or
play SMF song les.
It may be necessary to format the USB memory device before
it can be used with the CN34 digital piano. If so, please refer to
the USB Format function instructions on page 67. Formatting
the device will erase all data.
Avoid removing the USB memory device while data is being
loaded or saved, les 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.

Appendix
The tables below summarise issues that may be experienced with the CN34 digital piano, explaining the typical
cause(s), and recommended solution(s).
Power
Issue Possible Cause and Solution Page no.
The instrument does not turn on. Check that the power cable is rmly attached to the instrument, and
connected to an AC outlet.
p. 14

jacks, reduce the value of the ‘Line Out Volume’ setting in the Basic
Settings menu
p. 14
p. 74
Strange sounds or noises are heard when
playing with piano sounds.
The CN34 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones
created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This
includes string and damper resonances, key-o noises, and other
subtle characteristics that contribute to the overall piano playing
experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of
the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the
eects altogether using the settings in the Virtual Technician menu.
p. 81
The top 18 notes of the keyboard sustain for
longer than neighbouring notes, even when
the damper pedal is not pressed.
This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the undamped
notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic grand piano.
–

The pedals are unreliable or do not function
at all.
Check that the pedal cable is rmly connected to the instrument. p. 105
