Kawai MK 10 User manual

PERSONAL KEYBOARD

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a member of Kawai’s MK Series of
electronic keyboards. These advanced instruments use the latest
developments in electronics to offer you more features than you'll
find in any other personal keyboard. The MK Series provides the
unsurpassed flexibility and full realism of both PCM sound
sources and Kawai's own Variable Memory (VM} sound sources.
Complete touch sensitivity and many other features provide you
with total artistic expression, whether you're new to playing
keyboards or whether you're already well-versed in advanced
electronic musical instrument techniques.
To help you get the most from your new instrument, we
recommend that you practice with your keyboard as you read the
explanations in this guide. You'll want to keep this manual handy
for future reference.
FEATURES
* VM Sound Sources
Kawai'’s Variable Memory {VM) sound sources use the latest
digital technology to create just the sounds that you are looking
for — from the Jush sounds of a full orchestra to the pure tones of
a synthesizer.
* Touch Response Function
Kawai’s Touch Response function allows you to control the MK’s
tone, volume, and percussion sounds with your touch on the
keyboard.
* Flexible, Realistic Rhythm Accompaniment
. PCM recording faithfully reproduces rhythm patterns, hand
percussion, and fill-ins recorded digitally with professional
musicians. The keyboard provides a complete selection of rhythm
patterns you can use with a tremendous variety of songs.
* Programming Ease
The MK series’ Program Registration feature allows you to store a
combination of settings tone, rhythm, volume, and other key-
board features easily for instant recall later. The MK20 also
includes a program sequencer which stores melody, accompani-
ment, and other parts in real time, as your play.
* MIDI Link to Other Instruments
The internationally-recognized MIDI standard aliows you to
connect your MK Series Keyboard to synthesizers, drum
machines, and other electronic instruments so that you can
control them from your Kawat keyboard.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
PROTECT YOUR MK KEYBOARD FROM:
* Direct sunlight and exposure to the elements
* Temperature and humidity extremes
* Unstable or “noisy’” AC power
* Dust and sand
* Vibration during transport
POWER SUPPLY
* Use a 10-volt power supply
* Make sure that all power switches are off before changing
equipment connections
CLEANING
* Clean the instrument with a soft cloth, a mild detergent and
lukewarm water
* Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents
REPAIRS
The MK keyboard should only be serviced by an authorized
Kawai repair station. Always save your valuable internal data
to a PROGRAM CARD before taking the MK20 in for service,
as the data may be erased during repair.
HELPFUL HINT
Back-up
A special capacitor preserves memory contents (PROGRAM
REGISTRATION/SEQUENCER/ACCOMPANIMENT) for a
week after the power is turned off. If you wish to keep the data
for longer periods, either turn on the power within a week after
the power is turned off or copy it to a program card (MK20)}.

The MK20’s PROGRAM ACCOMPANIMENT feature allows you to program and store your own rhythm, bass, chord, and counter-melody
parts for later use as automatic accompaniment.
The next section describes the basic procedure. The section after describes the procedure in detail.
5.1 BASIC PROCEDURE
The automatic accompaniment function uses a repeating two-bar
pattern. Any pattern that you program must be exactly that length.
You program all parts in the key of C. Later, when recall the
programmed accompaniment, you can use the lower part of the
keyboard to specify the same pattern in any key.
If you want 3/4 waliz time, you must start by choosing and
altering a pattern in 3/4 time. If you want 4/4 time, you must start
by choosing and altering a pattern in 4/4 time. You cannot
change the basic beat pattern once you've started to program.
Programming at a lower tempo improves your accuracy. You may
adjust the tempo any time before you start recording. Later, when
you recall the pre-programmed pattern, you may use a faster
tempo, if you wish.
While you record one pattern, you may wish to lower the volume
of other patterns if they disturb you.
If you make a mistake at any point, you may press the CLEAR
switch and start programming that pattern again.
Here are the steps you should follow:
5.1.1 Preparing for Input
@ Select the rhythm closest to the rhythm you desire.
@ Press the PROGRAM switch. The AUTO PLAY ACCOMPANI-
MENT will start.
5.1.2 Input
