Introduction

Welcome to the Kawai CN37

1 Feature Highlights
‘Responsive Hammer III’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-off simulation

Introduction

The CN37 digital piano’s Responsive Hammer III (RHIII) 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 CN37 digital piano also features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb finger moisture to assist the player’s
performance, while, let-off simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch’ sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand
piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.

Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX instruments reproduced with Harmonic Imaging sound technology
The CN37 digital piano captures the magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano.
Widely regarded as the ‘premier pianos of Japan’, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical
institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their exceptional tonal clarity. In addition, the CN37 also features the
distinctive sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed EX concert grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional
pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, among
others.
Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analysed, and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling
using Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the
original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the
strongest, boldest fortissimo.

Strong selection of additional instrument sounds
Supplementing the realistic acoustic piano voices, the CN37 digital piano also feature an excellent selection of additional
instrument sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar and church organs, to strings, human choirs, and even
atmospheric synth-style pads, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances.
Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two different sounds, such as grand piano and strings, to be layered
together, while the Split and Four Hands modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections. The volume balances
for each playing mode can also be adjusted quickly and easily using the real-time panel controls.

Virtual Technician adjustments to personalise the instrument’s character
The CN37 digital piano’s Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano, electric
piano, or harpsichord sound to be shaped at the touch of a button, with settings to adjust voicing and regulation, string,
damper, and cabinet resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises. It is even possible to adjust the
precise tuning and volume of individual notes, before storing one’s personalised instrument configuration to memory.

USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV file recording and playback
The CN37 digital piano is equipped with USB connectors that not only allow this 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 instrument
settings or recorded songs 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 record performances as MP3
or WAV files for emailing to friends and family, listening to on the move, or for further editing using an audio workstation.

Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the CN37 digital piano also boasts integrated
Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once
connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, CN37 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related apps
that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.

* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.

Wide range of connectivity options
The CN37 digital piano features a variety of 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 flexibility
when using computers and other electronic instruments, while the Line-in jacks provide a convenient method of mixing in
audio from a laptop, tablet, or other audio device.

Playing the Piano

sectionthe Pedals
Using
As with a grand piano, the CN37 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

 Sustain pedal (right 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.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal

Playing the Piano

Sustain pedal

 Soft pedal (left pedal)

 Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

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.

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
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 floor
and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become
damaged.

Pedal support bolt

When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal
support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.

 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.

 Grand Feel Pedal System
The CN37 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of
Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the sustain/damper pedal, and the effectiveness of the
soft pedal using the ‘Half-Pedal Adjust’ and ‘Soft Pedal Depth’ settings.
* For more information, please refer to page 107.

 About Stored Virtual Technician settings

As mentioned above, the Virtual Technician settings are adjusted and stored independently for each sound. This allows different
Virtual Technician adjustments to be made for each piano voice. For example, it may be desirable to voice the SK Concert Grand
piano a little brighter than the EX Concert Grand piano, or increase the Damper, String, and Cabinet Resonances of the Studio Grand
sound while leaving the Mellow Grand sound unchanged.

1 Touch Curve
As with an acoustic piano, the CN37 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 velocity of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch Curve 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 that allow performers to
customise the instrument’s keyboard responsiveness to suit their individual playing style.
The default ‘Normal’ setting is designed to accurately recreate the touch of a Kawai concert grand piano. However,
if the keyboard feels too light, or fortissimo playing is achieved too easily, it may be desirable to select a heavier
touch curve. Alternatively, if the keyboard feels too heavy, or fortissimo playing is too difficult to achieve, it may be
desirable to select a lighter touch curve.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds.

 Touch Curve types
Touch Curve

Description

Light +

Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.
A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength.

2 Voicing
On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all influence on the tonal character of the
instrument’s sound. Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulate these
hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard.
The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the CN37 digital
piano to be adjusted. There are six different preset voicing settings available (applied uniformly to all keys), with an
additional four ‘User’ settings that allowing players to perform custom adjustments on each individual key.
While the default ‘Normal’ voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be
desirable to select a softer, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive tone
for modern styles.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect all sounds.

6 Undamped String Resonance
The dampers of an acoustic piano span almost the full width of the keyboard. However, the topmost 18 keys
(approximately 1.5 octaves) do not incorporate dampers, as the shorter strings for these treble notes decay quickly
and therefore do not need to be dampened.
Damped Strings

Undamped Strings

As a result, the strings of these ‘undamped’ treble notes are free to vibrate in sympathetic resonance with those of
lower keys – independently of the damper pedal position – helping to enrich the sound with additional harmonics
and tonal colour.
The CN37 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Undamped String Resonance setting allowing the
volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.

7 Cabinet Resonance
While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through
a spruce soundboard, the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics
that enrich the playing and listening experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a
role in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives the piano a living, breathing quality.
The CN37 digital piano recreates these natural acoustic characteristics, with the Cabinet Resonance setting allowing
the volume of this resonance sound to be adjusted.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.

8 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 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 affect 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 CN37 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of the
key-off sound to be adjusted, and the key-off release speed detection to be turned on or off.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano and electric piano sounds.

1. Selecting the Key-off Effect setting

9 Fall-back Noise
When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the keyboard action returning (i.e.
‘falling back’) to the neutral position after a key is released.
The CN37 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Fall-back Noise setting allowing the volume of this sound
to be adjusted.
While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level of the keys as they return to their neutral
position, it may occasionally be desirable to adjust the volume of this sound. For example, reducing the volume
when playing very soft pieces, where the fall-back noise may become too prominent.

11 Topboard Simulation
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and
‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The CN37 digital piano simulates these characteristics, with four different topboard positions.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.

User Temperament
(User)

Description
This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and 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.
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.

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.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal 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.
A custom temperament, created by raising or lowering the pitch of each note in the scale.
