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.

Basic Controls

P. 7

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.

R2 Selects the RIGHT1 Part. Use the F6, F7

buttons, Sound buttons, or the Dial to

change the Sound.

R3 Selects the RIGHT2 Part. Use the F6,

F7buttons, Sound buttons, or the Dial to

change the Sound.

No functions are assigned to the R1, R4 and R5

buttons on this screen.

"RIGHT 1" is highlighted to indicate that this Part

The Dial is used to change data values and scroll through options that are displayed on the LCD

screen.

When you turn the Dial, you will notice that whatever item on the LCD screen is currently selected

(highlighted) will be affected. Or in some cases when the screen presents you with a list of choices,

turning the Dial will allow you to quickly scroll through the list until you arrive at your choice. It

can also be used instead of the L, R, and F buttons as another way of selecting or changing an item

or value on the LCD screen.

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.

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.

• 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 three-

part 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 R2-

R3 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

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.

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.

Basic Controls

P. 21

• 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:

RIGHT1 RIGHT 2 LEFT INDICATOR

Part Inactive Active Active

Effect On On On 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:

RIGHT1 RIGHT 2 LEFT INDICATOR

Part Inactive Active Active

Effect Off On Off 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.

RIGHT1 RIGHT 2 LEFT INDICATOR

Part Active Active Active

Effect Off Off Off 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.

• 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.

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 Fill-

in, 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.

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.

Basic Controls

P. 29

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.

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

P. 30

• When you play along with the Auto-accompaniment using the Fingered or Full Keyboard modes,

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.

To use the Song Stylist:

1) Press the SONG STYLIST button. The Name Menu list appears, showing alphabet to search for the

SONG STYLIST. Use the L and R buttons to search for the title in alphabetical order.

if you are only playing single notes in the left and right hands).

There are 10 types of Harmony.

Block Adds three or four notes based on the chord.

Open Adds three or four notes based on the chord. Harmony notes may extend over one

octave below the lowest right-hand note.

Jazz Adds three or four notes based on the chord.

Rockn’ Adds a note at a fifth (or fourth) interval to the lowest note played in the RIGHT

Part.

Dynamic Adds three or four notes based on the chord. Harmony notes are played within

one octave below the lowest note played in the right hand.

Duet Adds a note according to the lowest note played in the right hand and based on the

chord.

Octave Takes the highest note played in the right hand and doubles it an octave down.

Octave Duet Adds an Octave note and a Duet note.

Vocal 1 Adds a single note above the top note of the right hand based on the chord.

Vocal 2 Adds three notes based on the chord. The lowest note will always be the root of

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.

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.

Advanced Recorder is useful for creating more complex recordings.

Advanced Recorder gives you the ability to record on up to 16

Easy Recording

The Easy Recorder will record all of your playing as well as any settings you have made on the front

panel or in the mixer screen at the touch of a button. Simply press the REC button and the CP will

begin recording with the first note you play. You can also record a Style along with your playing if

you like. Before you begin recording its a good idea to select your desired sound(s) and make any

panel settings you would like to record.

To record:

1) Press the REC button. The REC button LED will blink and the LCD screen will show Rec Ready. If you

want to, you can still change sounds or panel settings before proceeding.

2) Start recording in one of the following ways:

A. Play the keys and the CP will automatically start recording with the first note you play.

B. If you are recording with a Style, press the START/STOP button to start the recorder with the Style.

Pressing the INTRO/ENDING button will include an Intro phrase at the beginning of the recording.

C. You can also press the SYNC button to begin recording the Style and your own playing together.

D. Press the PLAY/STOP button to start with a 2-bar countdown to help you get ready.

3) When you are finished recording, press the PLAY/STOP button.

You may resume recording from the point where you stopped by repeating these steps from step 2.

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 This Part is ready to be recorded. This message is only displayed after the REC button has

been pressed.

PLAY This Part has been recorded and will be heard both on playback and while recording.

MUTE 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.

Recording a Song

P. 45

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.

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.

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.

• 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).

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 8th-

or 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.

R2 Selects the note Resolution for quantization.

Use the Dial to change the value.

• 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.

The notes that fall inside the Range

are not shifted at all.

The notes that fall beyond the

Range are moved to the closest

“border” of the Range.

Selecting zero Range results in no

“range”, and all notes are shifted

to the precise beat.

Merge combines data from two tracks. You can make complex musical phrases using several tracks,

then combine them together on one track. Remember that there can only be one instrument sound

assigned to each track, so the resulting merged track will play all the combined data using one

instrument sound. Merge can be useful for making rhythm patterns by first recording different

drum/ percussion parts using the same drum kit on several tracks for easy editing of each instrument,

or recording the right and left hand parts of a piano piece and combining them later on one track to

free up extra tracks for more recording.

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

Creating Your Own Styles

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.

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.

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.

Creating Your Own Styles

P. 75

To use Easy Edit:

1) Select the Style and the Variation (1–4) that you would like to edit.

2) Press the EDIT button. The LCD screen will display the Easy Style Edit screen.

3) Use the F2–F7 buttons to select a Section to edit.

4) Use the L buttons to select the desired Phrase (1-4) for each Section. You can edit while the Style is

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.

L2–L5 Selects a Phrase for the Section.

F2–F7 Selects which Section is being changed. Pressing again will

mute the Section.

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.

• 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.

P. 77

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 4 patterns (Variation 1–4) Max 16 measures

Fill-in 4 patterns (Fill-In 1–4) 1 or 2 measures

Intro Major 2 pattern Max 16 measures

Intro Minor 2 pattern Max 16 measures

Ending Major 2 pattern Max 16 measures

Ending Minor 2 pattern Max 16 measures

• 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

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

P. 82

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

Phrase.

Bass Limit

This is an option for the Bass section and sets the limit for the lowest note the Bass will play. If a

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

To adjust the auto-accompaniment system:

1) Use the L2-L4 buttons to select the setting you wish to change.

2) Use the F3-F7 buttons to select the Section.

3) Use the Dial to select or change a value.

4) When done, press the BACK button (F1) to go back the previous menu. Then save the Style if necessary.

P. 88

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.

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.

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.

Playing Songs from a Floppy Disk

Playing Songs From a Floppy Disk

P. 89

• 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 The part will be heard when you play the song.

MUTE 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.

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.

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.

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.

The L and R buttons select the desired song.

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.

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

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.

Normal This is the standard touch of an acoustic piano.

Light 1, 2 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.

Heavy 1, 2 Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud

volume. Heavy 2 is heavier than Heavy 1.

Off 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.

• LIGHT and HEAVY do not represent the physical weight of the keys. These are settings that

affect the sensitivity of the keys, which determines the volume level in response to the key

movement.

L1 Selects the normal setting.

Virtual Voicing

Voicing is a technique used by piano technicians to mold the character of a piano’s sound. The

Voicing function lets you change the CP piano’s tone quality by choosing one of four types of voicings.

Normal Produces the normal timbre of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic

range. This is the default setting.

Bright Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow Produces a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic The tone will change dramatically from mellow to bright according to your

playing.

• The current voicing selection is global for all the instrument Sounds. You can not have an

individual setting for each Sound.

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.

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

P. 116

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.

System Menu

P. 117

• The User Temperament alters the tuning for each octave equally. In other words, you cannot

alter the tuning of different sections of the CP’s keyboard range separately.

F1 Takes you to the Temperament menu.

F7 Saves the User Temperament.

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:

1) On page 1 in the System menu, press the MIDI (R5) button. The LCD screen will display the first MIDI

page.

2) Use the L and R buttons to select the setting and use the Dial to change the values.

learning process. Finally, there are numerous sites on theWorld

Wide Web dedicated to the sharing and selling of MIDI music that

can be downloaded and played on your Concert Performer

instrument. For instructions on how to use one of these Song Disks

on your CP, see “Playing Songs from a Floppy Disk” on page 90.

Floppy Disk Operations

The Concert Performer has a built-in 3.5” floppy disk drive that

can read and write to double-density (720KB) or high-density

(1.4MB) disks. These are the exact same disks that are used with

your personal computer. You can use floppy disks to quickly and

easily build up an extensive library of Concert Performer data that

can be shared with other CP owners.

There are many companies who specialize in just making MIDI song

files of popular and traditional tunes that can be purchase on floppy

disk. In fact, these days almost any popular song that you can think

of has probably been turned into a MIDI file by someone! Many

publishers of piano lesson books now provide the music on floppy

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 pre-

formatted 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.

To format a disk:

1) In the Disk menu, press FORMAT (R2). The Disk Format menu will be displayed.

2) Insert the floppy disk into the drive.

3) Use the L2 or L3 buttons to select the size of disk you are using, 2HD or 2DD.

4) Press EXEC (F7) to proceed. The screen prompts you for confirmation.

5) Press YES (F7) again to start formatting. Or press NO (F1) to cancel formatting and go back to the

previous menu.

• It takes about a minute to format a floppy disk. Once the formatting is complete, the LCD screen

returns to the Disk menu automatically.

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.

Getting Assistance: Using Help and Demo

Using the Help

To get Help, simply press the HELP button to the left of the display. The display will show an

explanation on the function or feature that you are presently working on. Help is available at any

time, except when the CP is busy recording your performance or accessing a floppy disk.

To use the Help:

1) Press the HELP button. The Help text will be displayd in the LCD screen.

2) If the text is not what you are looking for, press the INDEX (F1) button to list the HELP topics. Use the

F1 and F2 buttons to list more topics on the other pages.

3) Use the appropriate L or R button to select the topic, and the text will be displayed.

4) Use the F3 or F4 button to change the language. English, German, French, and Spanish are available.

5) To leave Help, press the EXIT button.

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.

Kawai Concert Performer Series Digital Piano

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. Amplifier

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.

Tape Recorder CD Player

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.

D. Using the Concert Performer with an External MIDI

Instrument

MIDI lets you expand the creative possibilities of the CP by

connecting it to an external MIDI device or personal computer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
