Kawai CA-X Selecting Another Preset Sound, Playing with More Sounds, Now try playing the keyboard

Quick Start

Now try playing the keyboard.

You will hear the CA’s main piano sound.

The CA piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play it. It produces a louder sound when you play hard and a softer sound when you play soft. The volume level changes in relation to how fast the keys are pressed. This system is called “touch sensitivity” on an electronic musical instrument. The initial touch sensitivity setting has been adjusted to the standard of an acoustic piano. You can however, select a different type of touch sensitivity on the CA piano if you are not comfortable with the standard setting. For more detail, please read “5.1 Selecting the Touch Sensitivity (TOUCH Button)” on page 22.

1.6PLAYING WITH MORE SOUNDS

Sound variation number 1

You have already heard the CA’s main piano sound. The CA-X has a total of 40 sounds, not only different types of piano sounds but different instruments as well.

The different instrument sounds built into CA piano are called “preset sounds”.

All of the preset sounds have been created through advanced digital sampling technology achieving as natural and realistic sound as possible. Let’s try some of the preset sounds.

SELECTING ANOTHER PRESET SOUND

Press the SOUND SELECT button under the name of the

instrument you would like to listen to. When the button is pressed, the LED indicator will be turned on to indicate that this sound is selected.

The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with four preset sounds to select. To select the other sounds, press the button repeatedly.

When a SOUND SELECT button is pressed, the variation number is briefly shown in the display. Pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again will select the next variation sound assigned to the SOUND SELECT button.

You can also select any preset sounds by using the VALUE buttons.
