Feature Highlights
‘Responsive Hammer III’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-o simulation
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 nger 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 magnicent tone of Kawai’s agship 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, aording 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 dierent 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 conguration to memory.
USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV le 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 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 record performances as MP3
or WAV les 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.

Playing the Piano
Using the Pedals
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
Sustain pedal
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the rotary speaker eect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ eect 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.
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 les.
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 eectiveness of the
soft pedal using the ‘Half-Pedal Adjust’ and ‘Soft Pedal Depth’ settings.
* For more information, please refer to page 107.

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 dierent 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 dicult to achieve, it may be
desirable to select a lighter touch curve.
* This Virtual Technician setting will aect 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.
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.
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).
User 1 / User 2 A custom touch curve, created to suit an individual’s personal playing style.

Voicing
On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all inuence on the tonal character of the
instrument’s sound. Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, les, 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 dierent 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.

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.
Undamped StringsDamped Strings
A0 C8G6
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.

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.

Key-o Eect
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 aect 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-o Eect setting allowing the volume of the

Temperament
The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CN37 digital piano to be changed from the modern
‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and
Baroque periods. It is also possible to create customised temperaments using the User Temperament function.
* This Virtual Technician setting will aect all sounds.
Temperament types
Temperament type Description
Equal Temperament (default)
(Equal)
This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve equal semi-
tones. 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 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 Temperament
(Werckmeister)
Kirnberger 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.
User Temperament
(User) A custom temperament, created by raising or lowering the pitch of each note in the scale.

Strange sounds or noises are heard when
playing with piano sounds.
The CN37 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones
created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This
includes various resonances, 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
eects altogether using the settings in the Virtual Technician menu.
p. 83
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.
