Thank you for purchasing this Kawai Concert Artist digital piano. This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the usage and operation of the CA13 digital piano. Please read all sections carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.
Preface • About this Owner’s Manual Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Preparation Before Use section from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This section explains the name and function of each part, how to connect the power cable, and how to turn on the power. The Playing the Piano section (page 12) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, allowing the CA13 digital piano to be enjoyed almost immediately after being connected, while the Internal Songs section (page 17) includes information regarding the built-in demonstration songs, Piano Music pieces, and Lesson function. The Recorder section (page 21) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored in the instrument’s internal memory, and the Settings section (page 23) details the settings that can be used to adjust a number of sound and keyboard characteristics, as well as basic MIDI functionality. Finally, the Appendix section (page 36) includes listings for all demo, Piano Music, and Lesson function songs, a troubleshooting guide, assembly instructions, MIDI reference information, and full specification details. • CA13 Feature Highlights RM3 Grand wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surfaces The CA13 digital piano utilises Kawai’s latest RM3 Grand wooden-key action, incorporating various grand piano action characteristics, such as contrasting hammer weights - appropriately graded for each playing range - bass key counterbalancing, and correctly located pivot points for both black and white keys. This unique ‘seesaw’ movement provides a consistent, evenly balanced action, while finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces not only enhance the enjoyment of playing, but also help to absorb moisture, thus preventing fingers from slipping. Progressive Harmonic Imaging (PHI) with 88-key piano sampling The CA13 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Progressive Harmonic Imaging technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo. Additional modelling techniques and effects, such as reverb and damper resonance are also applied, delivering a rich selection of vibrant piano tones with breathtaking realism and authenticity. Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function The CA13 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and played back at the touch of a button. In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more difficult passages to be perfected.
