Overview
This manual provides you with all the information you will need in
order to take full advantage of the Concert Performer’s potential.
Before you begin learning how to use the specific features, it is
important to understand some of the basic ideas behind the
instrument’s design.
The Concert Performer has been designed to have an easy and
intuitive user interface. However, the instrument has so many

features that it is simply impractical to have a dedicated button for
every single one. As a result, many features and functions are
selected by choosing them from lists, or “menus”, that are presented
to you on the CP’s large display screen. Often times selecting an
item from a menu may access another “sub-menu” of options
specific to that item. This system of menus and sub-menus keeps
everything logical and straightforward and becoming familiar with
how to make your way through them is very easy.

LCD Screen
The LCD Screen is the window through which the Concert Performer communicates with you. The
large display size allows many items to be clearly displayed at the same time, allowing for not only
words but graphics to be shown as well.

Select Buttons
Most of the buttons on the front panel are used to directly select a function on the CP that you
would like to work with. In most cases, the specific function name is printed on the front panel
directly above the button. For example, there are buttons labeled 1-2 PLAY, FILL-IN, and so on. In
this manual, references to these buttons are always printed in capital letters for clarity. Most of
these buttons have an LED Indicator (small light) on them. This Indicator will be turned ON when
a function is in use so that you can quickly see if that function is active.
There are 17 SELECT buttons surrounding the LCD screen that do not have labels printed next to
them because they do not have predetermined functions. Instead, they are used to select whatever
items are currently displayed next to them on the LCD screen. For example, a SELECT button
might be used to select an instrument sound on one screen, while on another screen the same
SELECT button might serve to activate a feature related to Floppy Disk.

To keep things simple, this manual will refer to the five SELECT buttons along the left side of the
LCD screen as L1-L5. Likewise, the five SELECT buttons along the right side of the screen will be
referred to as R1-R5. The seven SELECT buttons along the bottom of the screen, which are also
known as function buttons, will be referred to as F1-F7.
In some cases when you see an item displayed on the screen and press the L or R button next to it,
that item on the screen will become highlighted (shown in reverse color) to indicate you have
selected that item. Sometimes a submenu screen relating to that item will be displayed and present
you with further options.
When you press one of the F buttons, the corrosponding function on the LCD screen will be
highlighted to indicate that it has been selected.

This chapter discusses the basic operations that are used to play
the Concert Performer, such as sound selection, Part configuration
and effect settings.

Selecting a Part to Play
When the CP’s main play screen is displayed (For example, when the CP is first turned on), you are
presented with three sound Parts that can be played from the keyboard. These three Parts are
named LEFT/SPLIT, RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2, and each one has an instrument sound assigned to it.
You can selectively turn on/off any combination of these three Parts, allowing you to have up to
three different sounds at the same time across the keyboard.
Sounds assigned to Parts RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 will be layered on top of each other when both
Parts are active at the same time. Activating the LEFT/SPLIT Part automatically splits the keyboard
so that only the sound that is assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part is heard when you play in the lower
octave keys. Each Part has a dedicated button on the front panel that selects and turns on/off that
Part. You can also select a Part by pressing the appropriate L or R button.
Selecting a Part is easy:
1) Press the PART button for the Part you wish to activate. The PART button LED will light.
2) Press the PART button again to turn that Part off.
• If the LCD screen is currently showing the main play screen, you can tell which Parts are active
by looking at the name of the sound assigned to it. If the name of a sound is in large typeface,
then the Part it is assigned to is active. If the sound name is displayed in small typeface, then the
Part is not active.
This example indicates:
L1

RIGHT1 is currently active
RIGHT2, LEFT are inactive.

Basic Controls

P. 9

Lowers the split point.

Splitting the keyboard.
When the LEFT/SPLIT Part is activated, the CP automatically splits the keyboard and only the
sound assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part will be heard when you play below a specified key (split
point) on the keyboard. The default split point is between F2 and F#2 but you can freely change the
split point to any key on the keyboard.
To change the split point:
1) Press the LEFT/SPLIT button to activate the LEFT/SPLIT Part. The LEFT/SPLIT button LED will light
and the LCD screen will display a diagram of the CP’s 88 note keyboard.
2) Press the LEFT/SPLIT button again, and while holding it down, press the desired key on the keyboard
that you want to serve as the split point. The key you press will become the lowest note the Right
hand Parts will play (RIGHT1 and RIGHT2). The LEFT/SPLIT sound will be heard when keys below
the split point are played.
You may also use the L4 and R4 buttons to move the split point. On the LCD screen the split point
marker will move across the 88 note keyboard diagram as you press these buttons.

Raises the split point.

• Moving the split point completely to the LEFT end of the keyboard will allow the LEFT/SPLIT
Part to function as a layer with the two right hand Parts. In this manner you can create a threepart layer across the entire keyboard.

Selecting Sounds
The Concert Performer has over 600 instrument and drum sounds available from the front panel.
You can freely assign any of these sounds to the three Parts. Remember that there is always a sound
assigned to each of the Parts, even if some of the Parts are not currently active.
The sounds span a tremendous variety of instruments, ranging from traditional acoustic sounds to
modern electronic tones. To help you quickly find the sound that you want, the sounds have been
organized into 14 categories. Each category has a dedicated Sound Selection button on the front
panel.
To select a Sound:
1) In the main play screen, select the Part to which you wish to assign a new sound using the L3, or R2R3 buttons. The selected Part will become highlighted.

2) Press the SOUND button for the sound category that you are interested in. The first page of sounds in
that category will be displayed. There are at least three pages of sounds in each category. Use the
F1-5 buttons to view the other pages in a category.
3) Select a sound by pressing the L or R button that is next to the displayed name.
4) Press the F1-F5 buttons to show the Sounds on the other pages for the same category.
5) You can also use the Dial to scroll through all of the categories and sounds one by one.

Effects
You might have noticed that when you select some of the sounds, the LED indicator for the REVERB,
CHORUS, or EFFECTS button is turned on. The reason for this is some of the sounds are set up
with one or more of these effects on as part of their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves acoustical realism. The CP
piano is provided with three separate groups of effects. The first is REVERB, the second is CHORUS,
and third group EFFECTS contains other useful effects such as Delay, Phaser, Rotary Speaker etc.
There is a dedicated button on the front panel for each Effects group and each of the three Effect
groups can be turned on/off separately or used in combination for each part. The Concert Performer
has a selection of 27 different Reverb, Chorus, and Effect types that can be used to enhance or even
dramatically alter the instrument sounds. Each of the over 600 instrument and drum sounds has
already been assigned a REVERB and CHORUS setting and an additional EFFECT that suits that
particular type of instrument. For example, a moderate Delay effect is used on the Church Organ to
recreate the sense of being in a large church, and a Rotary speaker effect is used on the Drawbar
organ to give it an authentic, vintage feel.
If you wish, you can change any of these effect settings to suit your tastes separately for each sound
save them as the new Preset effect settings for that Sound (See Sound Edit on page 86). In addtion,
by setting the Effect For Sound function in the System to “Panel” the CP will ignore the preset
effect settings for each Sound (see Effect For Sound on page 113).
(The CP piano can also remember your Effect settings as part of a Registration. See Registration on
page 31.)
To add Reverb:
1) Press the REVERB button. The REVERB button LED will light.
2) If you wish to edit the settings, hold down the REVERB button for a moment until the Reverb Settings
screen is displayed.
3) Use the F3-F6 buttons to select the Part you want to edit.
4) Use the L2-L4 buttons to select the specific setting that you wish to change.
5) Use the Dial to change the value.
6) Press the EXIT button to leave the Reverb Settings menu.
7) If you wish to turn the reverb effect off, press the REVERB button again.

Effect Types

Basic Controls

Chorus

Simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a
slightly detuned version of the sound over the original to enrich it.

Flanger

Creates a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion and a “hollow” tone to the
sound.

Celeste

A three-phase chorus without modulation.

Ensemble

A three-phase chorus with a slight modulation to each phase.

Delay 1-3

Adds echoes to the sound. The three types differ in the length of time between
the echoes.

Auto Pan

Moves the sound left and right across the stereo field at a variable rate.

Tremolo

Modulates the volume of the sound. This is a vibrato type effect.

Tremulant

A combination of Tremolo and Vibrato. It simulates the tremulant pipes of a
church organ.

Phaser

Creates a phase change, adding motion to the sound.

Rotary 1-2

This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly used
with electric organs. Rotary 2 adds distortion. The soft pedal is used to change
the speed of the rotor between SLOW and FAST.

Auto Wah

Sweeps a tone filter up and down at the beginning of a note, recreating the popular
vintage wah wah pedal sound.

Enhancer

Emphasizes high frequencies to make a sound more easily discernible in a mix.

Distortion

Adds frequencies that were not present in the original sound, resulting in a “fuzzy”
or warmer tone.

P. 19

Effect Priority Guidelines
Reverb and Chorus are global effects. In other words, all of the Parts and the Accompaniment Style
must share the same Reverb and Chorus type. However each of these Parts can have a different
amount of Reverb and Chorus applied to them. In addition Reverb and Chorus can be independently
turned on/off for each part. However, since the CP’s EFFECT section can only have one Effect
turned on at a time (in addition to the REVERB and CHORUS), what happens if you have two (or
more) Parts active, with entirely different sounds, each with a different Effect setting?
In these cases, the CP’s Effects section can only use the Effect settings for one of the Parts. The
EFFECT section chooses which Effect settings to use based upon a predetermined priority order
for each of the Parts. The Priority order is RIGHT 1> RIGHT 2 > LEFT/SPLIT. The preset effect
settings for the Priority Part will be used and the other Parts will either share these settings or may
have their Effects automatically turned off.
This “Priority Part” depends on the current situation. If you only have one Part active, regardless
of which Part it is, the preset effect settings for that sound will be used. If you have two or more
Parts active, then the CP will treat one of them as the Priority Part, and ignore the settings of the
other(s).
If the Effect For Sound is set to “Panel” in the System then the Preset effect settings for each Sound
will be ignored and the Part Priority will be ignored. (See Effect For Sound on page 113).
Here are some guidelines for Effect Priority:
• Priority is given to the Parts in the following order: RIGHT1>RIGHT2>LEFT. This means that
anytime the RIGHT1 Part is active, its Effect settings will be used, not only for its sound but for
any sound in any other Part, that you want to add effects to. Likewise, the only time an active
LEFT Part’s settings will be applied is if the other 2 Parts are inactive.
• Unlees you change them, the Effect settings will only change in response to a change in the
Priority Part being activated/deactivated, or a new sound is assigned to an active Priority Part.
In the latter case, the new Effect settings will reflect the Preset effect settings for the new
sound.
• When the Effect settings change for the Piority Part, the Effects will be automatically turned off
for the other Parts. (This is so that your Flute sound on RIGHT2 doesn’t suddenly get effected
by the Distortion settings of the Electric Guitar that you’ve just assigned to the RIGHT1 Part!)
• You can, however, turn the effect on for any Part by adjusting the Effect On/Off option in the
display for that Part.

P. 20

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

• The LED Indicator on the EFFECT and CHORUS buttons will be on only when the active Priority
Part has these effects turned on.
Example
Assume that your CP is set up according to the following chart:

Part
Effect

RIGHT1
Inactive
On

RIGHT 2
Active
On

LEFT
Active
On

INDICATOR
On

If you then select a different sound for RIGHT2, the Effect setting for the RIGHT1, LEFT will be
turned off automatically. This is because RIGHT2 is the Priority Part (note that the RIGHT1 Part is
NOT the Priority Part because it was inactive).
The chart would now look like this:

Part
Effect

RIGHT1
Inactive
Off

RIGHT 2
Active
On

LEFT
Active
Off

INDICATOR
On

Even if you now assign a new sound to the RIGHT1 Part, the Effect settings for the other Parts
won’t change, because RIGHT1 is still inactive, so therefore would not have priority.
Once you make the RIGHT1 Part active, however, it would now be considered the Priority Part.
The Effect settings for the other Parts will again be turned off. The Indicator light on the EFFECT
button will now reflect the Effect status for the sound assigned to RIGHT1.

Part
Effect

RIGHT1
Active
Off

RIGHT 2
Active
Off

LEFT
Active
Off

INDICATOR
Off

At this point, if the Effect that has been called up along with the RIGHT1 sound is one that you’d
like to use for the other Parts, simply select Effect On in the LCD display for those Parts.

Transpose and Octave Shift
Transpose raises or lowers the CP’s pitch in half- step increments. Octave Shift does the same but
in octave increments.
Transpose can be especially useful when you have learned a song in one key and have to play it in
another key. The transpose feature allows you to play the song in the original key, but hear it in
another key. You can transpose the Concert Magic songs, the Accompaniment Styles, any songs
played back by the Easy/Advanced Recorder and any of the over 600 instrument and drum sounds
available in the CP.
Octave shift can be very useful when you are playing multiple sounds across the keyboard. You
may want to use the octave shift to adjust a bass sound assigned to the LEFT/SPLIT Part to play in
the proper pitch range, or to set one sound in a layer to play in a different octave so that it mixes
well with other sounds in the layer. Octave shift is only available for the three Parts: LEFT/SPLIT,
RIGHT1 and RIGHT 2.
To Transpose:
1) Press either the ß or † TRANSPOSE buttons. The LCD screen shows you a number telling you how
many half steps up or down you have transposed the piano. -5, for example, represents a transposition
that is 5 half steps lower.
2) To cancel the Transpose setting, press both the ß and † buttons at the same time. The transpose
amount will disappear from the LCD screen, indicating that the CP is now back to its original setting.
To use the Octave Shift:
1) Select the Part that you would like to apply the shift to.
2) Press either the ß or † OCTAVE SHIFT buttons. The number of shifted octaves (up or down) will be
displayed with an “ß” in the LCD screen.
3) To cancel the octave shift, press both the ß and † buttons at the same time. The symbols will
disappear from the screen, indicating that the selected Part is back to its normal octave range.

screen.

• The Octave Shift has a range of four octaves in each direction. However, some on board sounds
may have a limited range in which they play properly. If you shift too far out of this range, the
instrument may sound strange or may not play at all. This has no affect on the CP’s proper
function though, and you should feel encouraged to use this feature as a means of getting
interesting tonal variations out of the preset Sounds.

Metronome
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is important to practice
playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a steady rhythm. The CP piano’s metronome is a
tool that helps you to achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.
To use the Metronome:
1) Press the METRONOME button. The CP piano will start counting with an audible steady beat. You
will see Volume level, Beat (time signature), as well as the Metronome icon appear in the LCD
screen next to the Tempo value.
2) Use the BEAT, VOLUME, or TEMPO buttons (F2–F7) to select the setting you wish to change.
3) Use the F buttons (F2-F7) or the Dial to change the values.
You can also adjust the tempo by tapping on the TAP TEMPO button. Simply tap on the button with
your finger three or more times at the desired tempo, and the CP will automatically translate that
into a tempo value on the screen!
4) To stop the metronome, press the METRONOME button again.

Using a Style
The Concert Performer contains 182 built-in Styles for you to play
along with, covering a wide variety of musical genres. You can
choose from a simple drum or percussion accompaniment or add
in a fully orchestrated arrangement. In addition to the Full Styles
which provide a full musical arrangement including Drums, Bass,
and other accompanying instruments, there are Intimate Styles with

Solo Piano Styles if you just want to play along with a piano
accompaniment. If the on board variety of styles is not enough, or
if you have creative ideas of your own, the CP contains other
features such as Style Maker and Conductor to help you edit or
create your own custom Styles. These features are explained in
the section of this manual “Creating Your Own Styles”, page 74.

Selecting and Playing a Style
The Styles are organized into 13 categories, each with a dedicated STYLE SELECT button on the
front panel.

• When you switch from one Style to another while it is running, the new Style will wait until the
beginning of the next measure before it begins to play.

Fill-In and Variation
Each Style is made of four Variation patterns and four Fill-in patterns.
Fill-ins are short patterns that temporarily embellish the Style. Fill-ins can add excitement and
rhythmic change to the Style and be used as a musical lead in between the Variations. To use a Fillin, just press one of the FILL IN buttons. You will hear the fill-in begin playing immediately from a
musically appropriate spot.
Fill-ins can also be used as a short intro. First press the SYNC/FADE OUT button then press one of
the FILL-IN buttons to select a desired Fill-in. Press any key on the keyboard to start the style. After
the Fill-in plays, the selected Variation will play.
To select a Variation, press one of the four VARIATION buttons to select the desired Variation. The
Selected VARIATION button LED will light.
• You can set the CP to automatically play a Fill-in anytime you press a VARIATION button as you
switch from one Variation to another. Select your preferred option in the Fill-in mode. (See page
112)

Auto Accompaniment System
The Auto-accompaniment System (ACC) is a powerful feature that determines how the Styles will
interact with you as you play. The ACC System analyzes your playing and adjusts the notes the
Style plays to follow the Chords that you play on the keyboard. The ACC System is capable of
recognizing single finger as well as more complex chord voicings. The CP recognizes 61 chord
types as well as most of their inversions. (See page 158 for a chord table.) There are three modes of
key recognition—One Finger, Fingered, and Full Keyboard. Your choice of which mode to use
depends on your skill level and the selected musical style.
P. 28

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

Fingered

The player must play at least three notes of a chord below the split point (LEFT/
SPLIT Part) before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. (See page 158
for chord table.)

One Finger

Uses a simplified chord method that allows beginners to specify a chord type by
playing only one or two notes below the split point. The types of chords that can
be recognized in this manner are limited to Major, Minor, 7th and Major 7th.
While the player can trigger basic chords with as little as one finger, the ACC
System will recognize more complex chord types if you play them, even you are
in the One Finger mode.

Full Keyboard

The player must play at least three notes of a chord anywhere across the 88 keys
before the ACC System will recognize the chord type. This mode is similar to
Fingered however, Full Keyboard recognizes chord types from three or more
notes played anywhere across the 88 keys not just below the split point.

Bass Inversion
When Bass Inversion is on, the Bass Section of the Style will follow the lowest note of the chord
voicing played on the keyboard. With Bass Inversion on it is possible to specify a chord over a
certain bass note by the chord voicing you play. For example, a C chord over a G bass, or a Bb7
chord over a C Bass. Bass Inversion will work with all three key recognition modes but when in
One Finger mode, you play at least two notes of a chord for Bass Inversion to function.
To turn Auto-accompaniment (ACC) on:
1) Select a Style that you would like to play.
2) Press one of the ACCOMPANIMENT buttons to select the Key Recognition mode. The selected Key
recognition mode will be displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen if you're on the main play screen.
3) Press the BASS INVERSION button if you would like to turn it on.
4) Press the ACC ON/OFF button to activate the Auto-accompaniment System (ACC).
5) Press the START/STOP button to start the Style, and play some chords in the LEFT/SPLIT Part. You
will hear the Style start and also change keys and chord types as you play different chords.
6) If you want to cancel or stop the Auto-accompaniment, press the ACC ON/OFF button again. If you
turn the ACC off without stopping the Style the drum rhythms will continue to play.

you may hear two sounds playing the chords: one is selected by the front panel and the other is
pre programmed for the Style. This is because the sounds used by the Auto-accompaniment
Style are independent of the Left and Right Part sound settings. Therefore you will hear the
instrument sounds played by your hand as well as those generated by the accompaniment.
In most cases, these are just duplicate notes being played using different sounds. In some cases
however, you may hear different notes or an unexpected chord inversion. If the overall musical
effect is undesirable, try turning the LEFT/SPLIT Part off and let the accompaniment play alone.
• You can use the Auto-accompaniment (ACC) System without the Style running. In this way you
can make use of the chord recognition without having the pre programmed rhythms or patterns
playing. Just turn the ACC on and play without starting the Style. You will hear the bass and
chord parts only. This may be useful when you play a musical piece that is not played with
drums. The accompaniment sounds are pre programmed to best suit the different Styles, and
you cannot alter them. When playing in One Finger mode, however, you can replace the chord
sound with the sound chosen for the LEFT/SPLIT Part. Assign your preferred sound and make
the LEFT/SPLIT Part active.
You can also start a Style without the ACC on. In this way you can have just drums and percussion
accompany you.

1-2 Play
If you want to play using an Accompaniment Style, but have no idea as to what sounds you should
use for the right and left-hand parts, try using the 1-2 Play feature. This feature gives you a
preprogrammed panel setup with appropriate sounds and settings for the Style you have chosen.
To use 1-2 Play:
1) Select the Style you would like to play.
2) Press the 1-2 PLAY button. The 1-2 Play indicator will become lit, and the words “1-2 Play” are
displayed in the Main Screen. The SYNC/FADE OUT button is activated as well.
3) Activate one of the INTO/ENDING buttons if you want the Style to begin with an introduction. Start the
Style by playing a key on the left side of the keyboard, or by pressing the START/STOP button.
4) Press the 1-2 PLAY button again to turn it off.

Registration
A Registration is a setup that remembers the panel settings along with many other performance
functions so that you can recall them at the touch of a button. This lets you begin to play quickly
instead of spending a lot of time programming all the settings and values manually.
There are 8 Registration buttons on the panel of the Concert Performer. Each button contains a
different registration. Pressing any of the Registration buttons activates the setup stored there.
Pressing another Registration button changes to the registration stored in that button. Pressing the
active Registration button again deactivates the registration and returns you to the original panel
setup.

Registration Groups
There are 10 Registration Groups in the Concert Performer. Each group contains settings for the 8
Registration buttons on the panel. Each group represents a “family” of settings for the CP. The
sound and performance capability of the Concert Performer is remarkable, and each registration
group is designed to take full advantage of certain types of sounds available in the instrument.
Switching from one Registration Group to another instantly changes the Registration buttons from
Pipe Organ settings to Orchestra settings, for example.
• The default Registration Group is “American Pop”, a family of registrations designed to play
popular music from the 1940’s through today.
With 8 Registration buttons and 10 Registration Groups, you have a total of 80 preprogrammed
Registrations available. Plus, you can overwrite any registration with your own unique setups.
To use a Registration:
1) Press the REGIST GROUPS button. Ten Registration Groups will be displayed.
2) Highlight any Group from the list by using the L and R buttons.
3) Press one of the eight REGISTRATION buttons to activate a Registration from your selected Registration
Group.
4) To return to the Main Screen, press the EXIT button.

Song Stylist
With over 600 Sounds and 182 Styles, it can sometimes be difficult to decide the best settings with
which to play a song. Even if you are very familiar with the Concert Performer, you may want a
quick way to change the CP’s setup to play another song. The Song Stylist feature was created to
handle this situation for you. You simply pick the name of the song you want to play and the
Concert Performer sets up everything for you.
The Song Stylist contains a list of 514 popular song titles. In the Song Stylist, there is an appropriate
setup for each of those songs. You may search for your favorite title either alphabetically by song
name, or by category of musical genre. Once you’ve found the song you want to play, simply press
one button and the CP is immediately setup for that song and ready for you to begin.
• The Song Stylist contains no prerecorded music, only the setup to play the chosen song. You
must play the actual music yourself.

Recording a Song
The CP has built-in recording capabilities that allow you to record
and play back your performances. Since the CP records your
performances as digital data, not audio data, you can easily edit
your performances after recording them. There are two ways to
use the CP’s recording feature:
Easy Recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder and
is just as easy to use. The CP will record all of your playing as well
as any changes you make to the front panel settings during the
recording.

independent tracks separately. In addition, with Advanced
Recorder you can edit your recorded data one measure or even
one note at a time.
Song data created on other instruments in the Standard MIDI File
format (SMF) can also be loaded into the CP’s recorder to be played
or edited. The CP’s recorder can read both Type 1 and 0 SMF files.
Please read the following sections carefully to learn more about
the capabilities of the Easy and Advanced recorder.

Advanced Recorder is useful for creating more complex recordings.
Advanced Recorder gives you the ability to record on up to 16

Easy Recording

Part Status
The playback and record status for the RIGHT/ LEFT Parts and the Style are displayed at the bottom
of the LCD screen. Whether you are in the process of recording or playing back your song it is
helpful to know the status for each of these Parts.
The LCD screen will show the following Part status messages at the bottom of the screen:
REC
PLAY
MUTE
–––

This Part is ready to be recorded. This message is only displayed after the REC button has
been pressed.
This Part has been recorded and will be heard both on playback and while recording.
This Part has been recorded but will be silent both on playback and while recording.
This part has not been recorded.

After you have recorded a song you can change the status for a Part by pressing the appropriate
button, F3-6 below the LCD screen. Pressing the F buttons during playback will select PLAY or
MUTE. REC can only be selected after you press the REC button but before you begin recording.
During recording you can however set any Part to PLAY or MUTE by pressing the appropriate F
button.
You can record all RIGHT/LEFT Parts as well as the Style simultaneously or only certain Parts as
you choose. When you first record a song all Parts and the Style will be automatically set to REC
but only the active Parts and the Style will be recorded. When you are finished recording the status
for any active Parts and the Style will automatically change from REC to PLAY. After recording, the
status for any RIGHT/LEFT Parts that were not active during recording will be automatically changed
to - - - to show they have not been recorded yet.
When you press the PLAY/STOP button to listen to your song any Parts set to PLAY status will be
heard.

Re-recording or adding another Part
After you have recorded a song you can Re-record a Part or add (overdub) other Parts if you like
with the following procedure. Re-recording a Part completely erases the previous performance for
that Part automatically.
To Re-record or add a Part:
1) Make sure the Part(s) you wish to Re-record are active, then select any sounds or change panel
settings as desired.
P. 44

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

2) Press the REC button.
3) Press the appropriate F button(s) below the LCD screen to set the desired Part(s) to REC.
4) Begin recording by following step 2 in the “To Record” section on page 42.
Remember Re-Recording a Part completely erases the previously recorded performance for that
Part. You can Re-record or add any of the RIGHT/LEFT Parts as many times as you like but you can
only have one performance/sound for each RIGHT/LEFT Part.

Saving the song
Once you finish recording a song you should save it to disk before you turn the power OFF. Once
the power is turned OFF your song data will be lost.
See the section titled “Saving Data to a Floppy Disk” on page 129.
• If you press the EXIT button to get out of the Easy Recorder, the CP will automatically prompt
you to save your work.

Erasing the song
Whenever a Part is selected for recording, the new performance is written right over any existing
one that may be there for that Part. In this sense, the Easy Recorder is just like a tape machine. A
new song will simply erase the old song during the recording process.
However, if you wish to simply erase all the Parts and the Style in a song at once you can use the
Delete function.
To delete a song:
1) Press the DELETE button (F2) while the Recorder is not recording or currently ready to record. The
CP will ask if you are sure.
2) Use either the YES (F7) button to proceed or NO (F1) to cancel.

MIDI REC, enabling the CP to record on several tracks simultaneously over MIDI. Each MIDI
Rec track will record on the incoming MIDI channel that corresponds to its track number. Track
1 records MIDI channel 1 and so on.

Loop Settings
The Loop function lets you specify certain bars or your entire song to repeat over and over. Loop is
a global function and all tracks will be looped equally. You cannot have different loop settings for
each track.
To set the Loop:
1)

• You can set up looping for recording in the Real-time REC menu as well. In the Real-time REC
menu, when you turn on the looping, the Start Bar and End Bar information will be automatically
copied from the Loop Settings menu.

Style Paste
When you record a Style as part of your song, the Style data is automatically recorded on the Style
track. This data is unique to the CP, and cannot be used with any other musical instruments.
Additionally the instrument tracks that are part of the Style cannot be edited individually.
Style Paste converts any Style data recorded on the Style track into MIDI note and event data and
places it on separate tracks (Trks 9-16). Once the Style data is converted into actual note data, you
can view and edit the individual Style tracks as if you had recorded the data yourself. Also your
song including the Style can now be played back by any other MIDI instrument that reads Standard
MIDI File (SMF) format song data.

P. 53

• Before you use Style Paste, you need to make sure Tracks 9-16 are empty or don’t contain important
data. When the Style is pasted, the data from the Style track will be pasted into these tracks and
will replace any existing data.
To use Style Paste:
1) Press the STYLE PASTE button (F1) while you are in the Advanced Recorder menu. The LCD screen

Punch-In Recording
Punching In means being able to automatically start recording right in the middle of a track that is
playing back, continue recording new data on that track for a specified number of measures, and
then automatically stop recording at a specific measure and hear the rest of the track play to the
end. This tool is very valuable if you wish to record over some misplayed notes in the middle of a
track, but would like to preserve the music in the measures leading up to, and following, the trouble
spot.

Quantize
Quantize automatically shifts the timing of a note. This can be used to correct imperfect timing in
a performance by shifting notes that were played either too early or too late so they will fall exactly
on the correct beat. For example, you can accurately align any out of time notes to the nearest 8thor 16th-note beat depending on the type of song you are quantizing. Sometimes quantizing all of
your notes to exactly the same beat can make your playing sound too stiff. The Advanced Recorder
quantize function allows you to set a quantize “Range” so only the notes that were very early or late
are quantized. Notes that were almost perfect are not quantized thus keeping more of the original
feeling in your music.

• Resolution determines the timing value the quantize function will use to shift the notes you want
to quantize. For example, setting a quarter note resolution will shift all of the quantized notes to
the nearest quarter beat. Setting an eighth note resolution will shift all of the quantized notes to
the nearest eighth beat and so on. In the Advanced Recorder, quantize values are expressed in
note values and as a number that indicates how many clock beats each note value contains. The
Advanced Recorder divides each beat in a bar into 96 smaller clock beats. A Quarter note is 96
clock beats, an eighth note is 48 clock beats, and a sixteenth note is 24 clock beats and so on.
The quantize resolution range is from quarter notes (96 clocks), to 64th note triplets (4 clocks).
Recording a Song

P. 59

• Range sets up timing “borders” around the Resolution value you specify. Notes within these
borders will not be quantized and notes outside the borders will be moved to the nearest beat
specified by the resolution value (Quarter note, Eighth note, etc.). The negative value represents
the placement of the “border” before the beat, and the positive value represents the placement
the “border” after the beat. Together, these two “borders” form a timing “range” around the
specified beat.

Clock Move
In the Resolution section of this manual we learned that the CP Advanced recorder divides each
beat in a bar into 96 clock beats, also expressed as a quarter note. Therefore there are 48 clocks per
eighth note, and 24 clocks per sixteenth note and so on. This relationship holds true regardless of
the song’s tempo.
On the CP, you can shift the timing of all notes in a track by shifting the entire track ahead (negative
values) or behind (positive values) the beat by a certain clock value. Clock move is useful for
adjusting the overall timing of a track. For example, if a certain sound you recorded responds
slowly and sounds behind the beat, you could shift the timing of the notes ahead of the beat to
compensate for the sounds slow response and make its timing feel more natural.

Creating Your Own Styles
The Concert Performer contains 182 built-in Styles covering a wide
variety of musical genres. There are two powerful features that
allow you to edit any of these Styles to better suit your musical
tastes, or even create your own Style entirely from scratch! These
are the Conductor and the Style Maker.

The Conductor allows you to edit the Style data and personalize it
to your taste.
The Style Maker allows you to create Styles of your own.
There are three ways of using this feature: Make a New Style, Edit
an Existing Style, and Phrase Combination.

Conductor
The Conductor is used to edit Preset data.
Easy Style Edit

This is an easy way to edit the Style data. The CP built-in styles are comprised
three different types, Full, Intimate, and Solo Piano Styles. A Full Style
consists of six instrument tracks called Sections. These are the Drums,
Bass, and four Accompaniment tracks. The Intimate Styles have four
Sections, Drum, Bass, And Two Accompaniment tracks. The Solo piano
Styles have two Accompaniment Tracks (Right and Left hand) and no Drum
or Bass tracks.
When you play a Style, each of these sections plays a musical Phrase
composed for that type of instrument. Each section can play one of four
different musical phrases, one for each of the four variations within a Style.
Easy Edit lets you assign which of these four Phrases will be played by each
section for each of the four variations within the style. This means you can
mix and match the different phrases for each section to create your own
unique arrangements. Once you are satisfied with your edits, you can save
your Easy Style edits to the PRESET STYLE.

running to hear your changes.
5) To mute a Section, press the corresponding F button. Pressing the F button again will un-mute the
section.
6) If you would like to save your edits, press the SAVE TO PRESET (R1) button. The saved contents will
be written to the PRESET STYLE. If you don’t save your edits, they will be lost when you turn the
power OFF.
7) Press the EXIT button to leave the Easy Style Edit screen.

• Pressing the SAVE button will save all Styles at one time. You cannot save individually.
• For Intimate Styles the ACC 3/4 Sections are not used and cannot be edited.
• For Solo Piano Styles the Drum, Bass, and ACC 3/4 Sections are not used and cannot be edited.

Resetting the Style
The CP always remembers the original Preset Style settings. If you wish to restore those factory
settings before saving your edits, simply press the RESET button in the Conductor.
• If you would like to revert all Styles back to their original factory settings, after you have pressed
the SAVE button, use reset Conductor on the Soft Reset screen. See the section titled “Soft
Reset” on page 124.
Note:
Easy Edit doesn’t allow you to edit the Intro, Ending and Fill-ins. However, muting a Section in the
Style will result in automatic muting of the same Section in the Intro, Ending and Fill-ins. If you
mute a certain Section, you need to consider what effect it will have on the overall Style.

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

Making a Style with Get Phrase from Recorder
This is the most flexible way to create a new Style.
You can take music that you have recorded using the CP’s own Recorder and convert it into Style
data. Or, you can use an external MIDI device or a personal computer to create the musical phrases,
then load the data into the CP’s Recorder and convert those.
Configuration of a Style
A complete Style consists of the following patterns:
Basic pattern
Fill-in
Intro Major
Intro Minor
Ending Major

• Each of these are made of six Sections—Drum, Bass, ACC1, ACC2, ACC3 and ACC4. However
you don’t necessarily have to have all of them to create a Style. For example, you may not need
to use some Variations or Sections to accomplish your musical idea. These unused sections may
be left blank, or filled with Section data copied from the initial source Style that you were asked
to choose at the beginning of the Style Maker process.
• The different Sections can be of varying bar lengths as long as they stay within the limit. Having
them all the same length may make the Style easier to use in a song, but you may find that having
uneven bar lengths among the Sections can create interesting musical results.
• Before you can generate a Style from these phrases, you have to have them loaded into the
Recorder, keeping in mind which tracks in the Recorder are going hold data for which Sections
in the new Style.
• The source recording in the CP’s Recorder can be in any key. However, you need to know what
key that is, because you will have to specify that as part of generating a new Style. For simplicity’s
sake it is advisable to record in C if you are planing on using the recording with the Style Maker.

Auto-accompaniment System
The Concert Performer Auto-Accompaniment System (ACC) analyzes your playing and adjusts the
note data recorded in the different Phrases in a pattern to match the root key and chord type you
are playing. The ACC System also shifts the octave for each phrase to keep each section playing
within its musically useful range. To get the most out of this System, any new Style you create can
benefit from some fine tuning of these settings.
When you press the MORE button (F1) on the Style Maker Get Phrase screen, the Style Maker
Detail Settings screen will be displayed.
Accompaniment Type (ACC Type)
This setting determines how Phrases being played by a particular section in a pattern will be analyzed
by the Auto-accompaniment (ACC) System. There are Two Accompaniment Types: Chordal and
Scalic (melodic). Chordal Phrases usually consist of block chords or arppegiated chords. You
should set this kind Phrase to Chordal. Scalic Phrases usually play melodic phrases that serve to
add interest to the style as well as provide counter melodies and riffs. Melodic Phrases or Phrases
that contain chromatic passages should be set to Scalic. Scalic Phrases can also contain chords but
they will be analyzed differently than chords in a Chordal Phrase. The Bass section is automatically
set to Scalic since it will rarely if ever play chords.
The terms Open and Close apply to Chordal Phrases, and refer to how the CP will regulate the
voicing of a Chordal Phrase. Setting a Section to Open will allow for open-voiced chords, which
might be good for guitar and string sounds. Setting a Section to Close maintains closed voiced
chords, which are better suited to piano parts and other chording or comping instruments.
Range
This determines the chord inversions that a Chordal Phrase will play.
The term “range” here has nothing to do with the span of actual chord notes. It selects which note
in the chord will serve as the basis of the chord inversion.
HI is the initial setting and is recommended as a starting point. MID plays an inversion based on the
next lower note in relation to HI, while LO plays an inversion based two-notes lower.
Crossover
This determines the point where a Scalic Phrase will be transposed to keep the notes in a musically
useful range. When notes in a Scalic Phrase fall below the Crossover point you select they will be
transposed up one octave by the Accompaniment System. For example if you set the Crossover

point to E, the Phrase would begin to be transposed up one octave whenever you play a chord with
an E as the root.
Experiment with the different Chordal and Scalic settings to find the one that works best with each

note in a Bass Phrase falls below the limit, it will automatically be transposed up an octave.

Editing Sounds
Even though the Concert Performer has over 600 high quality
instrument and drum sounds built-in, there may be times when you
would like to change some of the qualities of a sound to really get
the tonal character that you have in mind. The CP allows you edit
certain settings for individual sounds.

Editing the Preset Effect Settings
Each of the CP instrument Sounds has preset Chorus and Effect settings that are applied automatically
whenever that sound is selected.
You can change these settings to suit your tastes and save them so they become the preset settings
for that Sound.
To adjust the settings:

Playing Songs from a Floppy Disk
The Concert Performer’s floppy disk drive provides a convenient
way to playback songs recorded in the CP’s Internal Format or
Standard MIDI File (SMF) format. Songs in the CP’s internal format
typically are ones that you have recorded on your own instrument.
There are many sources of SMF songs, including disks for sale from
professional musicians and publishers, songs shared among
musicians and hobbyists, and Internet sites that feature SMF songs
available for download.

If you wish to play a song without any intentions to make permanent
changes or additional recordings, you can use the CP’s Disk Song
Play function to load the song very quickly for playback. Using the
disk drive in this way makes the Concert Performer an enjoyable
source of entertainment for parties and other social events, as well
as a great tool for the professional musician or music educator.

About songs on Floppy Disk
If you will use a blank disk to store and play your own compositions made on the Concert Performer,
there isn’t much to worry about. The CP can format the disk (if it isn’t already formatted), and the
CP’s internal song format remembers everything about your song, including which sounds to use
with the recorded tracks. However, if you wish to purchase a disk of songs from your music store
or publisher, play a disk given to you by someone else, or play songs downloaded from the Internet,
you will need to remember a few simple points:
• The CP reads only DOS formatted disks, either double-sided double-density (720KB) or high
density (1.4MB). These are the most commonly used disk formats in both computers and musical
instruments.
• The CP recognizes song files written in the Standard MIDI File format as long as they have DOS
file names ending with “.MID”. There are two types of Standard MIDI File formats, Format 0 and
1. The CP can read the song data of both formats, however it will only display the lyrics of a song
written as format 0.
• Songs that have been composed with the General MIDI (GM) standard will sound fine without
any additional work, because data in the files will inform the CP as to what sounds to use when
playing the song. If the song was not composed to the GM standard, you may find it necessary to
edit the song to assign the correct sounds to the various tracks. Fortunately, almost all
commercially available MIDI files adhere to the General MIDI standard.
P. 88

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

• The CP can also recognize most songs formatted for the PianoDisc player piano system and
songs formatted for Yamaha’s Disk Orchestra Collection. (Please check with your Kawai dealer
or distributor for further information).

Selecting a Song from Disk
A single floppy disk can store dozens of song files at one time, depending on the length of the songs.
To select a song:
1) Put the disk in the Floppy Disk Drive and press the DISK button. In the Disk menu, select Song Play
(R3). After the CP searches the disk it will display the first ten available songs. If there are more
than ten songs on the disk, use the SEARCH buttons (F2, F3) to list the additional songs.
2) Use the L and R buttons to select the song you want to hear. You can also select a song by using the
Dial.
3) Once your desired song is highlighted, press PLAY/STOP to have the CP load the song and automatically
start playing. You may also press SELECT (F7) to have the CP load the data and wait for you to start
it manually.
4) Press the SONG CHAIN (F4, F5) buttons to have the CP automatically play all songs, one after another.
5) When your selected song is ready to play, the Disk Song Play screen is displayed. Use the Recorder
control buttons on the left side of the panel to control the playback of the song.

Controlling Playback of a Song
As the song plays, you can adjust the tempo, play or sing along with on the keyboard, and even turn
on/off the different instrument parts (tracks) in the song.
The status of the song parts is displayed at the bottom of the LCD screen. You will see the parts
referred to as the CP’s three Parts + Style if the song was created on the CP, or as Channels (ch 1-16)
if the song is a MIDI file. Displayed above each part is its current status:
PLAY
MUTE
––––

The part will be heard when you play the song.
The part has data, but it won’t be heard when you play the song.
The part has no data to play.

• Transpose and Octave Shift are available when a song is playing. Octave Shift affects only the
notes you play “live” on the keyboard, not the music playing from the song file. Transpose can
be applied separately to the keyboard sound and the song sounds. This lets you play the keyboard
in your preferred key along with a song recorded in a different (or more difficult) key.
Use the front panel’s dedicated TRANSPOSE buttons to affect the keyboard sound. Use the
Song Transpose option (R4 and R5) in the Disk Song Play menu to affect the song data.
• The Song Transpose option is available only for the song data in Standard MIDI file.
To make adjustments to the song:
1) In the Disk Song Play screen, use the R1, R2, R3, and L3 buttons to highlight and assign sounds to
the CP’s four keyboard Parts. These will be the sounds that you can play live from the keyboard as
the song is playing. Once a Part is highlighted, press any of the Sound category buttons to select a
new sound.
2) Use the F buttons to play and mute any of the song’s instrument parts.
3) Press the L4 button to use the Mixer to make adjustments to the song’s instrument parts. (See page
49 for the Mixer function.)
4) Use the R4 and R5 buttons to transpose the song data.
5) Use the panel TRANSPOSE and OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to adjust the CP’s keyboard Parts.
6) Press the PLAY/STOP button to start the song.
7) To adjust the tempo, press the L2 button and use the Dial to change values.

Playing with Concert Magic
Thanks to Kawai’s innovative CONCERT MAGIC (CM) feature,
absolutely anyone can sit at the Concert Performer and experience
the joy of being a real performing musician… even if they have
never touched a musical instrument in their life!
Concert Magic allows you to play a song by simply tapping any key
on the keyboard. Regardless of what keys you play, the notes that
are heard will be the correct ones for the song. However, what
makes this really exciting is that you control the timing of the notes,
as well as their dynamics. This lets you add a level of expressiveness
and individuality to the song that makes it real musical performance.

As you play a CM song, a handy Note Navigator display helps you
keep track of where you are in the music, as well as suggesting
how the rhythm of the song should be tapped out on the keys.
Many of the CM songs have lyrics that can be displayed as the song
is being performed. As the song is played, a Bouncing Ball makes
its way over the lyrics, following the player’s performance and
encouraging everyone around the instrument to sing along.
The Concert Performer can also automatically play any of the
Concert Magic songs. Listening to the song first can make it easier
to play. There is also a Chain Play mode, giving you options to
listen to groups of CM songs.

Selecting a Concert Magic Song
The 176 on-board Concert Magic songs are divided into eight groups by song category: Children’s
Songs, American Classics, Patriotic Songs, Christmas Songs, Hymns, Classics, Special Occasions,
and International songs.
• In addition, you can create and play your own Concert Magic songs using the floppy disk drive.
To select a song:
1) Press the CONCERT MAGIC button. The song selection menu will be displayed.
2) Ten song titles from the Children’s Songs category will be displayed. The category name is displayed
at the very top of the screen. If you want to go to another song category, press SEARCH BY CATEGORY
(F1, F2). You can also search for a specific title by using SEARCH BY NAME (F3, F4), which will list
all 176 song titles in alphabetical order. You may also use the Dial to scroll through all the titles one
after another.
• If you wish to play a CM song from floppy disk, press the DISK button (F6) to see the list of songs
on disk.
3) When you have found the song that you want to play, use the L or R buttons to move the box over the
title. Press the SELECT button (F7) to choose it. The Note Navigator screen will be displayed, and
you are ready to perform!

Performing a Concert Magic Song
Playing the Concert Magic song you’ve selected is very easy. Just begin tapping any key on the
keyboard and the song will play. Concert Magic plays the correct notes of the song, but you must
provide the rhythm. Being familiar with how a particular song sounds does make it easier, but
watching the Note Navigator screen can help you play a song that you’ve never heard before.
The Note Navigator provides an outline of the song’s rhythm that looks a lot like the real music. The
dots (•) in the display are the notes that you play. The spacing of the notes gives a clue to the timing
(rhythm) of the notes. Notes that are closer together are played faster; notes that are farther apart
are played longer. Notes that are evenly spaced are played evenly, and so on.
Up to four lines of music are displayed. After you’ve played past a note in the song, the dot becomes
a cross (+) to help you keep track of where you now are. When you get to the bottom of the screen,
the top lines change to show the next lines of music, as if you had turned the page. When you get to
the end of the song you will see a double line, and then the song will reset to the beginning.

Concert Magic Song Arrangements
Concert Magic songs are specially arranged so that they will work well with your key tapping. Each
of the 176 CM songs falls into one of three categories of musical arrangements of varying difficulty.
EASY BEAT
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap any key with a constant beat. You
can easily see which songs are Easy Beat songs when you look at the Note Navigator. The dots will
line up at a constant interval in the screen, indicating a constant beat.
MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if you are familiar with them. To perform them,
tap the keys to the rhythm of the melody (as if you were singing).
SKILLFUL
These songs are more challenging. To perform them, carefully follow the rhythm as shown in the
Note Navigator. It may require some practice to successfully play these songs. Even skilled players
will enjoy the challenge that these songs offer.

Steady Beat Play
After you choose a song, you can press the STEADY BEAT button (F3) to play the song by steady
tapping instead of the original rhythm. You can play any song from any arrangement category by
tapping steady beats.

Playing with the Concert Magic

P. 99

Creating a Concert Magic Song
You can also use Concert Magic to play a song that isn’t one of the 176 built-in titles. You can record
a new song using the Concert Performer’s Recorder and then save on a floppy disk as a Standard
MIDI File (SMF). The song can now be selected by pressing the DISK button when you are in the
Concert Magic song selection screen.
• You can also record a song for Concert Magic by using an external sequencer. Remember to save
it to a floppy disk as a Standard MIDI File.
As you might imagine, getting your song to sound exactly the way you want it to in Concert Magic
may require a few adjustments to the original arrangement. The most important consideration is to
keep the musical arrangement as simple as possible. Concert Magic “pauses” the song after every
note as it waits for you to tap the next key. If there are complex rhythm patterns that have many
notes per beat, the song may become overly difficult to play. Here are some suggestions for creating
a Concert Magic song:
1) Record the melody first using the RIGHT 1 Part in the Easy Recorder (or Track 2 in the Advanced
Recorder).
2) Then record the accompaniment using the LEFT Part in the Easy Recorder (or Track 4 in the Advanced
Recorder).
3) Arrange the accompaniment so that its notes fall on the same beats as the melody. (This creates a
Melody Play arrangement.)
4) If you want to be a little more adventurous, insert a few carefully placed accompaniment notes in
between melody notes. (This creates a Skillful arrangement.)
5) If you are recording your song using an external sequencer, record the melody on channel 2 and the
accompaniment on channel 4.
6) For best results, you should quantize your parts.
• Of course, these are merely suggestions. There are no steadfast rules for how to compose your
CM song. In fact, very rewarding musical experiences may come out of simple trial and error.

Touch Curve
When playing a piano, the volume of the sound produced increases in direct relation to how hard a
key is struck. The CP’s Normal Touch curve offers the standard feel of an acoustic piano for practicing
music. The CP offers five other touch curves ranging from light to heavy.
This is the standard touch of an acoustic piano.
For those still developing finger strength, such as a child, a louder sound is
produced even when the piano is played with a soft touch. Light 2 is lighter than
Light 1.
Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud
volume. Heavy 2 is heavier than Heavy 1.
A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck. This
setting is suitable for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such as Organ or
Harpsichord.

Resonance
When the sustain pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all the dampers are lifted up allowing the
strings to vibrate freely. In this condition, when you play a note not only will the strings for the note
you played vibrate but other strings will vibrate due to sympathetic resonance. The Resonance
function simulates this phenomenon. You can select from three levels of Resonance.

Brief explanation of temperaments
Temperament Keys
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of Equal temperament.
When you use a temperament other than Equal temperament, you must carefully choose the key to
play in. For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose “D” to set the
temperament key.
Equal Temperament (Flat)
This is an “unstretched” equal temperament 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.
Equal Temperament (Stretched)
This is the most popular piano temperament and is the initial setting. 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.
Pure Temperament
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths is still popular for choral
music because of its perfect harmony.
You need to be aware what key you are playing in with this temperament. Any key modulation will
result in dissonances. When you play music in a particular key, you need to match the key of the
temperament as well.
Pythagorean Temperament
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.
Meantone Temperament
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 consonance’s experienced with certain fifths for the
Pure temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
System Menu

P. 115

Werckmeister III, Kirnberger III 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.
Arabic
Some oriental scales, including the Arabic, are characterized for “quarter-tone” which is half of a
half-tone (50 cents). This makes the music sound very different from traditional western music.
The CP Piano provides two of the most popular Arabic scales, although you can create more
variations with the User Temperament function. With Arabic 1, the notes B and E are a quartertone
lower than the Occidental Scale, while the notes A and E are lower with Arabic 2.

To create a User Temperament:
1) On the Temperament screen, press the EDIT button (F7). The User Temperament screen will be
displayed.
2) Use the KEY buttons (F3, F4) to select the note to edit.
3) Use the Dial or TUNE buttons (F5, F6) to change the value. The value is represented in cents above
or below Equal temperament and ranges from –50 to +50.
4) Press the SAVE button (F7) to save the User Temperament.

MIDI Menu
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for
connecting MIDI equipped synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments so that
they can exchange data. Personal computers can also be equipped for MIDI communication.
Electronic instruments equipped with MIDI can transmit and receive performance data such as,
notes, what sound to play, pedal information, volume, etc. through the MIDI In/Out/Thru Jacks.
This data can be recorded with a device like a sequencer or a computer.
• In this manual we will only discuss the basic MIDI functions that pertain directly to the CP. For
detailed literature on MIDI, please visit the music department of your local bookstore.
On page one of the MIDI Settings menu you can configure the following settings.
Right Transmit Channel
Sets the MIDI Transmit Channel for the RIGHT hand Parts. You can select MIDI Channels 1-16.
Left Transmit Channel
Sets the MIDI Transmit Channel for the LEFT/SPLIT Part. You can select MIDI Channels 1-16.
Chord Detect Channel
Sets the MIDI receive channel for chord data being sent to the CP. The Accompaniment System can
be controlled remotely on this MIDI channel by an external MIDI controller. You can select MIDI
channels 1-16, OFF, All, or MIDI Accordion. When set to ALL the Accompaniment System will
respond to any chord data it receives on ANY MIDI channel.
Local Control ON/OFF
This determines whether the CP’s sound will be played from the piano’s keyboard (“ON”) or only
from an external MIDI instrument (“OFF”). Even with local control “off” the CP’s keyboard will
still transmit to an external MIDI instrument or personal computer.

Clock
Clock is a data code that a MIDI instrument uses as the reference for its Tempo settings as well as
Style Start/Stop commands. When it is set to INTERNAL, the CP uses its own built-in clock to
control tempo settings. When set to EXTERNAL, the CP reads the clock data that it receives via
MIDI and uses this data to control the Tempo.
To configure the MIDI Settings:

Formatting a Floppy Disk
Before a floppy disk can be used to save data for the first time, it will need to be formatted. This
simply means that the disk must be “prepared” to hold data.
The Concert Performer can read and write to MS-DOS formatted disks. You can purchase preformatted floppy disks from any computer or office supply store. Floppy disks may also be formatted
on a PC computer, or the CP can format them itself. There are two types of 3.5” floppy disk in the
market, 2DD (which can hold 720KB of data) or 2HD (which can hold 1,440KB or 1.44MB of data).
Both can be used in the exact same fashion with the Concert Performer.
• You can always re-format a disk at any time. Keep in mind, though, that every time you format a
disk, all data that is currently on it will be erased. Re-formatting is a good way to completely
erase a disk that might have been used previously on a computer, since there may be all sorts of
irrelevant data files left on it otherwise.

Getting Assistance: Using Help and Demo
The first time you sit at the Concert Performer, you may feel
overwhelmed by the wealth of features and options that it offers.
You will find, though, that if you keep this Owner’s Manual handy
you can learn to use the different functions as you need them, at
your own pace. And, there is certainly nothing wrong with only
using a few basic features, and thoroughly enjoying them. After
all, the Concert Performer is first and foremost a musical
instrument, and its whole purpose is to provide you with the tools
for musical expression and fun no matter your skill level.

There are times when you might not have the Owner’s Manual at
your side, and you need an explanation of a button or feature.
Fortunately, there are built-in Help guides to give you a hand. The
Help function provides a basic introduction and overview of most
of the features found in the CP.
There are also many built-in Demostration songs that really show
of the musical potential of the Concert Performer. These songs
were composed by some of the top musicians in the music industry,
and will undoubtedly impress and inspire you.

Example of Connection
A. Using External Speakers
The Concert Performer has an amplifier and built-in speakers and together,
they produce a powerful sound. However, for larger venues or outdoor
performances, you may need to use additional amplification and speaker
systems.
Standard 1/4-inch audio cables can be plugged into the CP’s stereo Line Out
jacks for this purpose. The CP’s Master Volume will affect the signals levels
output from the Line Out Jacks.

B. Using the Concert Performer with Your Home Audio System

You can connect audio cables from your stereo system or another source to
the CP’s Line In jacks. The sound of your stereo playing a tape, CD, or even
radio will be heard through the CP’s speaker system and mixed in with any
sounds from the CP itself, enabling you to play along with your favorite songs!
Connect the CP with your CD player or other device as illustrated.

C. Recording Your Performance with Your Tape Recorder
Even though the CP117 do not have a CD-R Drive you can still make a recording
from your CP using the Line out Jacks. Simply connect an external CD-R
recorder or other recording device (Cassette, Audio software from a personal
computer etc.) to the CP’s Line Out Jacks. Everything that you hear coming
out of the CP’s built-in speaker system is also sent out through the Line Out
Jacks and can be recorded. You can also record anything that is connected to
the Line In Jacks along with anything being played by the CP.

Sound Module

Use a MIDI cable to connect the CP’s MIDI Out jack to the other
device’s MIDI In. Likewise, connect the MIDI Out jack of the other
device to the CP’s MIDI In.

E. Using The Concert Performer with Your Personal
Computer
Your personal computer can be used as a MIDI device as well. In
order to connect your computer to the CP you will need a MIDI
interface. Check with your local music store or computer dealer
for more information about particular models of these interface
devices. Once you have your computer connected to your Concert
Performer, you can think of it as a powerful extension of the CP’s
own music processing abilities. There are hundreds of software
programs available that you can use to do everything from learn
the basics of piano playing, to creating film scores for your home
movies, to composing the next great digital symphony.

In order for the CP and your computer to properly communicate
over this USB cable, you first need to set the MIDI-USB switch
located next to the MIDI jacks to USB. Also your computer must
have a USB driver installed. Please read the instruction on the
next page for the details about the USB driver.

If you don’t wish to purchase a MIDI interface device for your
computer, the Concert Performer has a special type of interface
built in to it that may make the connection easier. The CP can be
connected directly to the back of your computer via a USB cable.

USB
The Concert Performer can be connected with 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 http://www.kawai.co.jp/english/Download1.html and
download the program.
[For Macintosh users]
Currently we don’t have a USB driver available for Macintosh computers. Please use an appropriate MIDI interface and MIDI cables when
connecting the Concert Performer to a Macintosh computer.
NOTE:
When both MIDI jacks and USB jack are connected, USB has priority.
When connecting USB cable to the Concert Performer, first connect the USB cable and then turn the power of the Concert Performer on.
It may take some time to startcommunication when the Concert Performer 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 the Concert Performer 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.
