Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI Digital Piano!

the reverb effect gives you even deeper resonance.
industry-Standard MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks are
included which allow you to play other electronic instruments at the
same time - opening a whole new world of musical possibilities.

@ VOLUME
Move the volume slider to the right to increase the
instrument's volume.
Move the slider to the left to decrease the volume.
& BRILLIANCE control
This slider controls the brilliance, or clarity, of the
sound. Shifting it to the left produces a rich,
mellow sound; shifting it to the right, a bright, clear
sound. The center position corresponds to the
instrument's normal tone.
© TRANSPOSE control
Shifting the slider to the right raises the piano's key
(C - C#-D-Eb-E-F).
Shifting it to the left lowers the key (C - B - Bb - A
- Ab - G - F#).
You can therefore play the music as written - in C
major, for example - and have the instrument
transpose the output to a higher or lower key to
match your voice.
© TONE SELECTORS
Select the desired instrument by pressing the
appropriate switch.
Note: The WOOD BASS, ELECTRIC BASS, and
SLAP BASS are only available for the lower
part of a SPLIT keyboard. (See p. 5.)
@ EFFECTS
These functions cause the output to become more
animated (CHORUS) or fluctuate (TREMOLO).
O VOICE ENSEMBLE
Same as the TONE SELECTORS. This is used to
produce voice ensemble sounds.
@ STRING ENSEMBLE
Same as the TONE SELECTORS. This is used to
produce string ensembie sounds.
«Note: The CHORUS effect is not available with
6 VOICE ENSEMBLE or 7 STRING
ENSEMBLE tones.
SPLIT switch
Pressing this switch splits the keyboard into an upper
and lower half, each with different tone colors. When
the function is first activated the keyboard is split at
the point marked on the front panel, but this point is
changeable. (For the procedure, see p. 9.)
© DUAL LED
Simultaneously pressing two tone selector switches
lights this DUAL LED and activates the DUAL mode
of operation, in which the piano simultaneously uses
two tones instead of just one.
Press a single switch to cancel.
@ DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE control
This slider controls the relative loudness of the two
voices used in the SPLIT and DUAL modes. Shifting
itto the right in the SPLIT mode makes the UPPER
keyboard louder. For the DUAL mode, it is the
rightmost preset of the pair that becomes louder.
* Example
The PIANO! selector is to the left of VIBRAPHONE.
If they are being used together in the DUAL mode,
shifting the slider to the left makes the PIANO! tone
louder.
Shifting it to the right makes the VIBRAPHONE tone
louder.
@ REVERB switches
These add REVERB (echo) effect to the sound for
greater beauty.
B POWER
This switch turns the instrument on and off. Be sure
to turn off the instrument when finished playing.
® HEADPHONE jack
This jack is for headphones sold separately (SH-2).
