Important Information

Welcome to the Kawai CA49 digital piano
Thank you for purchasing this Kawai CA49 digital piano. This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the instrument’s usage and operation. Please read all sections carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.
1 Feature Highlights
Grand Feel Compact wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surfaces and “Let- Off” mechanism The CA49 digital piano utilises Kawai’s Grand Feel Compact keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic piano craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience. All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, with finely textured Ivory Touch key surfaces applied to assist playing control . As with an acoustic grand piano action, the keys rest on a metal balance pin and move with a smooth seesaw-like motion, while the extended pivot length ensures a consistent, evenly-balanced touch weight ­ even when playing towards the back of the key . The Grand Feel Compact action also incorporates grade-weighted hammers, bass region counterweights, and let-off simulation for added authenticity, while its accurate triple-sensor key detection system allows rapidly repeated notes such as trills to be performed smoothly, without unnatural breaks in sound .
Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX instruments reproduced with Harmonic Imaging sound technology The CA49 digital piano captures the magnificent tone of Kawai’s flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano . Widely regarded as the “premier pianos of Japan”, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their exceptional tonal clarity . In addition, the CA49 also features the distinctive sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed EX concert grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, among others . Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analysed, and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling using Harmonic ImagingTM sound technology . This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo .
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the CA49 digital piano also boasts integrated Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly . Once connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, CA49 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music- related apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables .

• Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location .
  Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function The CA49 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 .

4 Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CA49 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard ­ greatly enriching the piano sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal Sostenuto pedal Sustain pedal

Soft pedal (left pedal)

Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between “Slow” and “Fast” effect modes .

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that have been played . Any keys that are subsequently played after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained .

Preparation

Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board to aid stability when the pedals are pushed .
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor and supports the pedals firmly . If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become damaged .

Pedal support bolt

When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.

Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish- washing sponge . Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files .
Grand Feel Pedal System
The CA49 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of a Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano .

Troubleshooting

Power

Sound

Problem
The instrument does not turn on.
The instrument turns itself off after a period of inactivity .

Possible Cause and Solution Check that the power cable is firmly attached to the instrument, and connected to an AC outlet .
Check that the “Auto Power Off” function is not enabled .
Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is not set to the lowest position .

Page no. p . 12 p . 50 p . 14

The instrument is turned on, however no sound is produced when the keys are played .

Check that a pair of headphones (or headphone adaptor plug) are not connected to the PHONES jack .
Check that Local Control is enabled in the MIDI Settings menu .

The sound distorts when playing at Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate level,

very loud volume levels .

reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard .

The pitch or sound quality with a specific piano timbre is odd .

The CA49 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible . This includes damper resonances and other subtle effects that contribute to the overall piano playing experience .
While these additional effects are intended to enhance the realism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable them altogether using the sound settings .

The pedals are unreliable or do not function at all .

Check that the pedal cable is firmly connected to the instrument .

When depressing a pedal, the pedal board flexes and is not firm .

Check that the pedal support bolt is fully extended .

The top 18 notes of the keyboard sustain for longer than neighbouring notes, even when the damper pedal is not pressed .

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic grand piano .

The instrument produces a “swoosh” sound when the damper pedal is pressed .

The CA49 digital piano reproduces the sound of dampers on a grand piano touching and releasing the strings . If this intentional sound is undesirable, it may be prevented by selecting the “Noiseless” Virtual Technician preset, or by adjusting the “Damper Noise” setting .

The instrument is connected to the computer using a USB cable (or a USB-MIDI adaptor), however the software does not respond to key presses .

Check that a USB MIDI driver is installed on the computer .
Check that “USB Audio Device” or “KAWAI USB MIDI” is selected in the software’s input/output device settings .
Check that the instrument is not connected to a smart device using Bluetooth MIDI .

Check that the instrument’s Bluetooth MIDI function is turned On .
