How to care for your Kawai Organ
‘Here are some general rules to follow.
1)
- 9)
3)
4)
Always plug your KAWAI into a standard voltage AC line for
your area. Plugging into a DC outlet will cause damage.
To remove any greasiness from the cabinetry, keys, or pedals,
.use a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Be sure to wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
Do not expose your KAWAI to direct sunlight, cold drafts or
radiator heat.
The battery protecting the sequencer/registration memory con-
tents should last for five years. When it is exhausted, the WRITE
switch will flash three times. Battery must be replaced only by a
qualified service personnel.
This organ is not designed for commercial use but for household
use only.

1.2 Getting Ready to Play
(1) Turn power on.
[|
(2) Set the Total Volume control at mid range
volume.
Note:
Volume is fixed at the level of button depressed at
random. If any two neighboring buttons are depressed
simultaneously, the volume will be fixed at the middle
of the two levels. This applies to other volume controls
as well,

TOTAL VOLUME
(3) Step on the expression pedal half way.
This pedal too controls the total output volume
of the organ. Use this pedal during playing to
give softer or louder expression to your music
performance.

PEDAL LOWER
Sometimes a particular piece requires several
changes of tone and volume during the course of a
performance. Frequently, these changes come in
groups of three or more. The KEYBOARD CON-
DUCTOR section provides, in one handy location,
the controls necessary to make these changes with
the minimum of fuss.
Similarly, there is a choice of four for the UPPER
keyboard, four for the LOWER keyboard, and two
for the PEDAL keyboards. In all cases, pressing a
single switch is all that is required to change the
registration for a keyboard.
® Procedure
(1) Press the appropriate switch in the KEY-
BOARD CONDUCTOR section.

TIBAY fos (as =]
PERCUS
a
(2) To change from TIBIA/PERCUS to PRESET
INSTRUMENT, for example, simply press the
PRESET INSTRUMENT switch. The organ
then automatically changes to the registra-
tion (tone, volume, and effects) specified in
the PRESET INSTRUMENT (UPPER/LOWER)
control block.
It is also possible to mix two registrations by
holding down the switch for the current one
and pressing a second switch. The excep-
tions are the PRESET INSTRUMENT and the
SYNTHESIZER registrations. The preset in-
strument control blocks and the synthesizer
control blocks can only the used for one
keyboard at a time.

Note:
The SR Series stores registration and other settings in
non-volatile memory. This has its own battery power
supply that keeps them from disappearing when you
turn off the organ. The same RHYTHM, KEYBOARD
CONDUCTOR, individual tone, and other setting (ex-
cept program registration, PROGRAM SEQUENCER
and INTRO/ENDING) are therefore always available
when you next turn on the organ. However, the organ
tuning automatically returns to O (see page 42), and
the clock to internal.

3. Tones and Effects
3.1 TIBIA
The UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL keyboards have a
TIBIA control block. Together, the three provide a
wide range of possible combinations.
M@ UPPER and LOWER TIBIA
(1) Changing registrations is as easy as pressing
the appropriate TIBIA switch in the KEY-
BOARD CONDUCTOR section.
Note:
At this point, you may wish to double-check by
sounding a note on the corresponding keyboard. If
not, this entire step becomes optional.
TIBIA
LOWER a UPPER
PRESET iY
- SYNTHE-
MENT SIZER
Note:
These switches are toggles: Pressing the switch turns
on the effect: pressing it a second time turns it off.
®@ Upper and lower keyboard tibia tone volume
control
This organ does not have independent volume
control on the tibia group tones of upper key-
boards. The volume should be adjusted by the
total volume control. Adjust other tones by in-
dividual volume controls on the basis of tibia
group volume.
(3) (OPTIONAL) Press the PERCUS switch in the
UPPER MANUAL control to add an accent to
each pitch of TIBIA tone.
TIBIA
(4) Use the TIBIA EFFECT switches to add or
subtract effects.
®@ Effect Switches

TREMOLO
TIBIA EFFECT
UPP.SUS — This adds a lingering SUSTAIN ef-
fect to the UPPER keyboard tibia. It does not affect
percussion output.
LOWER CHORUS — This adds a slow swelling
to the LOWER keyboard tibia.
UPPER CHORUS — This adds a slow swelling
to the UPPER KEYBOARD tibia and percussion.
TREMOLO — This switches the UPPER and
LOWER keyboard CHORUS effects, if present, to
TREMOLO. This effect applies to percussion as
well. The sound swells much more quickly than
CHORUS.
Note:
It is impossible to use CHORUS and TREMOLO
simultaneously. (See chart.)

output.
TOUCH — This allows you to control tone,
volume and effect by varying the key force,
speed (SR3 and SR4), and pressure (SR3).
(4) Adjust the volumes as necessary.
Note:
Certain instruments offer additional effects.
HAWAIIAN GUITAR — If this tone is selected, the
right foot switch converts itself automatically to glide
effect switch. This switch lowers the tone of
Hawaiian guitar by one semitone in pitch. In this
case, the foot switch cannot be used as fill-in and
ending switch.
MARIMBA/BANJO (SR4 only) — The organ con-
tinuously repeats notes. If the Touch function is on,
the force applied on the keyboard determines the
speed of this repetition. As you increase the pressure
on a key, the repeat gradually gets faster.

3.4 SYNTHESIZER
The SYNTHESIZER is for the UPPER or LOWER
keyboard.
(1) Press the SYNTHESIZER switch in the KEY-
BOARD CONDUCTOR section.

SYNTHESIZER produces only one note a time. If you
simultaneously play several notes, only the last one
played will sound. If you lay a tone over other tone
groups, the highest note will sound.
(3) (OPTIONAL) Add effects.
PORTA — These smooth the transitions (con-
tinuous Glide) between notes for legato
playing.
TOUCH — This allows you to control tone,
volume and effect by varying the key force,
speed (SR4 and SR3), and pressure (SR4) you
apply to the keyboard.
T. VIB. (Touch Vibrato) (SR4 only) — This
adds vibrato to the keyboard output. The
amount and speed depend on the pressure
applied to the key.
(4) Adjust the volume as necessary.

@ Synthesizer Tuning
The SR Series allow you to adjust the pitch of the
synthesizer relative to the other tones in incre-
ments of 1.5 cents up to a maximum of 45 cents
on either side.
(1) Press the SYNTHE switch in the TUNE section
to change the multifunction display to the one
shown below.
(2) Use the arrow switches in the RHYTHM sec-
tion to adjust the relative pitch.

Note:
The idea behind this function is to use subtle pitch
differences to add depth to the sound. It can, for
example, simulate a duet by 2 individual instruments.
Since no 2 musicians play perfectly in tune together,
the change in pitch that you can achieve with the SR
organ will give you a very authentic sound at 2
individual musicians playing a duet.

degrees of pitch to tune a piano.

Bi Multifunction display
The display’s most important function is to give
the current tempo for the rhythm section, but
serves other purposes as well:
Beat
1
(1) Tempo — The lower right hand corner gives
the tempo.
(2) Beat — The numbers across the top light in
sequence to keep pace with the beats.
1-2-3-40o0r1-2-3 (Waltz)
(3) Bar — The two digits in the upper right hand
corner indicate the bar (1 or 2) in the rhythm
pattern. If the rhythm accompaniment is on,
they indicate the number of the bar you are
playing. Otherwise, the number “1” will al-
ways appear. (For a single-bar pattern, the
number will also be just ‘1"”.)
@ Tempo Control
The two arrow switches are for raising and
lowering the tempo, respectively. (Left arrow -
slower, Right arrow - faster)
Note:
The organ’s range is 50 - 300 beats per minute.
(1) Tapping an arrow switch lightly changes the
tempo by 1.
12
(2) A heavy tap changes it by 5.
(3) Continuous pressure changes it in steps of
10.
(4) Applying greater pressure increases the rate
at which the display changes.
(5) Simultaneously pressing both keys doubles
the current tempo. Pressing them a second
time restores the original tempo.
Note:
If the tempo is above 150, the tempo after this
doubling operation will be 300, the fastest available.
If the rhythm accompaniment or the AUTO PLAY
ORCHESTRA is activated, the quarter note next to the
tempo display digits flashes only on the first beat of
the bar. Otherwise, it flashes on every beat.

Mi TAP TEMPO (SR4 only)
The TAP TEMPO switch provides an alternate,
more direct method for changing the tempo.

fl
® Procedure
Press the TAP TEMPO switch three times at the
desired tempo. The organ will measure the
intervals and automatically change the value on
the display. The rhythm’ will automatically
change to the speed you tap in.

Note:
Tapping the switch while the rhythm accompani-
ment is on - changes the tempo from the next bar.
This facility makes it much easier to change tempos
during a performance.

@ FILLINs, INTRO, and ENDING
The three switches in this section offer the
musician four prerecorded variations on the cur-
rent rhythm pattern - a pattern which normally
just repeats. The first two, INTRO and ENDING,
provide an introduction: and wrap-up ending,
respectively. The other two produce variations of
rhythm breaks or fill-ins for use during the per-
formance.

4.3. Hand Percussion
The SR Series provides not only prerecorded
rhythm patterns, but also solo percussion instru-
ments. These are accessible through two means:
the LOWER keyboard and touch bars located just
below that keyboard.

automatic accompaniment, and most other function
which use the LOWER keyboard.
(2) Press the keys for the desired percussion
instruments.

The volume depends on the force of the keystroke.
There are four sets of labels under the keys. The top
row is for the black keys. The other three are for the
white keys and cover the percussion instrument and
two variations (VARI.1 and VARI.2).
(3) Press the special white key, labelled VARI.1,
to change the instrument assignments for
the white keys from the second row to the
