„CA93/CA63 Feature Highlights

RM3 Grand wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surface and ‘Let-Off’ mechanism (CA93 only)

The CA93 & CA63 digital pianos utilise 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 counter-balancing, 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.

In addition, the CA93 keyboard action is further equipped with a special ‘Let-Off’ feature, accurately recreating the subtle ‘click’ sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very gently.

Ultra Progressive Harmonic Imaging (UPHI) with 88-key piano sampling

The CA93 & CA63 digital pianos capture 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 Ultra 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 string and damper resonance, and subtle key-release sounds, are also applied, delivering a rich selection of vibrant piano tones with breathtaking realism and authenticity.

USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV file recording and playback.

The CA93 and CA63 digital pianos are equipped with USB connectors that not only allow these instruments to be connected to a computer for MIDI use, but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This ‘USB to Device’ feature allows songs recorded and stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI files (SMF) downloaded from the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware.

USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio files, allowing musicians to learn the chords or melody for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favourite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3 or WAV files for emailing to friends and family, listening to on an iPod, or for further editing using an audio workstation.
