1. QUICK START
Quick Start
1.1 SETTING UP THE PIANO
The first thing you’ll need to do before playing the piano is to set up the
instrument.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND
First, you need to assemble the stand unit. Assemble the stand following
the instructions at the beginning of this manual.
SUPPLYING AC POWER
The CN piano is equipped with stereo speakers and an amplifier. You do
not need any other equipment to play your piano. You can enjoy the CN
piano wherever AC power is available. Simply connect the power cable
that comes with the CN piano to an AC outlet.
Connect the AC power cable to the piano’s power jack and the
other end of the cable to the AC outlet on the wall.
1.2 POWER SWITCH
Press this button to turn on the power.
Pressing it again will turn off the power.
Pressing this button while holding down the REC and PLAY/STOP buttons
will erase all the songs currently stored in the Recorder. (See page 27.)
1.3 VOLUME SLIDER
This slider controls the master volume level of the piano’s sound.
Move this slider to the right to increase the volume and move to
the left to decrease the volume.
This slider also controls the headphone’s volume and the LINE output
level of the piano’s sound.
1.4 HEADPHONES
For private performances you may want to use the headphones. The
speakers will be turned off automatically when the headphones are
plugged in, and the CN piano will only be heard through the headphones.
The CN piano has two headphones jacks.
1.5 DEMO SONGS
The CN4 has 30 built-in sound demo songs. Each of the demo songs
presents a musical piece to introduce the different preset sounds.
6
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
If you would like to listen to the demos for a particular category, just
press the desired SOUND SELECT button while the demo is playing. When
you press the button, the demo will play the demo songs for the newly
selected category. Then the demo songs for another category will be
selected at random. See page 64 for the list of sound demo songs.
1.6 PLAYING THE PIANO
Turning on the power.
You will find the POWER SWITCH at the left end of the front panel. Press
this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the power.
Adjust the volume level.
The VOLUME SLIDER controls the volume level of the speakers and the
headphones. Use this slider to set the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
Now try playing the keyboard.
You will hear the CN’s main piano sound. The name of the sound “Concert
Grand” is shown in the LCD Display.
Concert Grand
The CN 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 CN piano if you are not comfortable with
the standard setting. For more detail, please read “7.1 Touch” on page
34.
QUICK START

Quick Start
Press the CONCERT MAGIC and LESSON buttons simultaneously
and the demo song for the Piano 1 category will start. After the Piano 1
demo songs are finished playing, the demo songs for another sound
category will be selected at random.
Quick Start
1.7 PEDALS
The CN piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain,
Soft and Sostenuto.

Soft
1.8 PLAYING WITH MORE SOUNDS
You have already heard the CN’s main piano sound. The CN4 has a total
of 305 sounds + 9 drum sets, not only different types of piano sounds but
different instruments as well.
The different instrument sounds built into CN 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 name of the selected preset sound is also shown in the LCD Display.
The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with four preset sounds to
select. To select the other sounds, press the button repeatedly.
You can also select any preset sounds by using the VALUE buttons.
◆ NOTE
8
The OTHERS button is assigned with 278 sounds (including 9 drum sets).
While holding down one of the VALUE buttons, pressing the other VALUE
button will jump to the next sound category within the OTHERS button.
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
2. ADVANCED PLAYING
2.1 VALUE BUTTONS
These two buttons are used to change the value for certain functions.
These buttons can also be used to select the various sounds. You can
select all of the preset sounds assigned to the ten SOUND SELECT buttons.
However, sounds cannot be selected by using the Value buttons when
you are in DUAL or SPLIT mode.
2.2 DUAL
Another feature of the CN piano is the ability to layer two preset sounds
together to create a more complex sound. For example, piano layered
with strings, electric piano with choir sound, and so on.
To layer two sounds, press the SOUND SELECT buttons for both
sounds simultaneously. The LED indicators for each will be turned on
to indicate the two sounds you have chosen. You will find the selected
sound names are also shown in the LCD display.
Studio Grand
String Ensemble
Both sound names are displayed.
If you want to layer two sounds assigned to the same SOUND SELECT
button, while pressing the desired SOUND SELECT button use the VALUE
buttons to select your desired layered sound.
ABOUT POLYPHONY
The CN piano is capable of playing up to 96 notes simultaneously (96note polyphony). When playing in dual mode, or when playing the stereo
piano sound, the polyphony will be reduced by half since the piano has to
produce two sounds for each note.
2.3 SPLIT
SELECTING SPLIT SOUNDS
The split function divides the keyboard into two sections—upper and
lower—and lets you play each part with a different sound.

2.4 BALANCE SLIDER
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds in Dual or
Split mode. Use the BALANCE slider to adjust the balance. Move
the slider to the right to increase the volume of the sound shown on the
top line of the display and decrease the volume of the sound shown on
the bottom line of the display. The balance changes in the opposite way
when the slider is moved to the left.
2.5 EFFECTS/REVERB
You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds,
the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or the REVERB is turned on. The
reason for this is some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as
their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves
acoustical realism. The CN piano is provided with two separate groups
of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, flanger,
delay, tremolo and rotary speaker.
REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic
environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are six types
of reverb available. They are Room 1&2, Stage, Hall 1&2 and Plate.
10
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
CHORUS
Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or
string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over
the original to enrich it. There are five types of chorus available. They
are Chorus 1-4 and Feedback Chorus.
DELAY
Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound. There are three types of
delay available (delay 1 - 3), each of which has a different length of delay
between the echoes.
TREMOLO
Tremolo modulates the volume of the sound. This is a vibrato type effect.
ROTARY
This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly
used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is
with distortion effect.
The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW
and FAST.
TO ADD REVERB
Press the REVERB button. The LED indicator will be turned on to
indicate that reverb is in use. Press and hold the REVERB button and the

tone to the sound.
To change the effect type, use the VALUE buttons.
To turn off the reverb or effects, press the REVERB or EFFECTS
button again.
◆ NOTE
Any changes you make to the reverb and the effects are stored with the
preset sound in memory as long as the power is on. When you reselect a
sound, your chosen reverb and effect settings will be recalled along with
the preset sound. When the power is turned off the effects will be reset
to the factory settings unless you use the “User Memory” function to save
your current reverb and effect settings. For more information about the
“User Memory” function please see page 43 in this manual.
2.6 METRONOME/RHYTHM
Rhythm is one of the most important elements when learning music. It is
important to practice playing the piano at the correct tempo and with a
steady rhythm. The CN piano’s metronome is a tool that helps you to
achieve this by providing a steady beat for you play along with.

(20-800 BPM with eighth note rhythms).
To stop the metronome, press the TEMPO button again.
CHANGING THE TIME SIGNATURE
You probably noticed that there are two types of clicks and the louder
one comes every fourth beat. The metronome is capable of giving you a
down beat to indicate the beginning of the measure. You are now hearing
a 4-beat or 4/4 time signature.
You can select a different time signature, if you want to. There are ten
different time signatures available on the CN piano—1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4,
3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8. You can also select one of the 100 built-in rhythm

4. PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said, “Playing
the keyboard is simple. Just strike the right keys at the right time.”
Many people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of
course. However, there is a way to make playing the keyboard very simple.
You don’t even have to strike the right keys thanks to Concert Magic.
Playing with
Concert Magic
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN piano and
make real music… even if you’ve never taken a piano lesson in your life.
To enjoy performing by yourself, you have only to select your favorite
piece from 88 preprogrammed songs and tap any of the 88 piano keys
with a steady rhythm and tempo. CONCERT MAGIC will provide the
correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you
press. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy CONCERT MAGIC from the
moment they sit down at the CN piano.
Now let’s see how CONCERT MAGIC works.
4.1 SELECTING A SONG
The 88 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 piano keys.
The songs are also classified in eight groups by song category such as
Children’s Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs.
All of the song titles are listed on page 65 in the appendices section of this
manual.
To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is
assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.
1
Twinkle Twinkle
The LCD display shows you the song number and
abbreviated song title.
4.2 LISTENING TO THE SONG
If you have selected a song you are familiar with, you may want to play by
yourself right away. However you may want to listen to the song first
before playing it.
To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button. The CN piano will start playing
back the selected song. You can adjust the speed or tempo of the song by
using the VALUE buttons while holding down the TEMPO button. While
you are listening you can select a different Concert Magic song by using
the VALUE buttons.
You probably noticed that the circles in the LCD display turn into smaller
plus signs as the song is played back. This is called the Note Navigator.
16
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
These circles and plus signs provide a visual guide that shows you when
to press the next key. The space between the circles and position of the
circles in the LCD shows you the approximate timing between each key
press.
Twinkle Twinkle
+
+
•
•
The circles turn into small plus signs as the song is
playing.
The key to performing using Concert Magic is to know the rhythm of the
song. The Note Navigator provides a rough outline of the songs rhythm,
that will help you to learn the song’s rhythm and then perform it by
yourself.
If you want to listen to a different song, press the key to which
your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT
MAGIC button. To listen, press the PLAY/STOP button.
4.3 PERFORMING A SONG
Now you’re ready to play yourself.
Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the 88 black
or white keys on the piano’s keyboard.
•
+
•
+
•
•
•
Use the Note Navigator (the circles and plus signs)
to learn the rhythm of the Concert Magic song.
As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes
will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower,
they will slow down correspondingly, just like regular piano playing.
Isn’t it fun? You can sound like you’ve been playing for years just by
pressing one key with one finger.
Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music,
especially to develop a sense of rhythm. For older people who may think
it is too late to learn the keyboard, Concert Magic is a good first step for
them to begin with. With Concert Magic, your CN piano can be enjoyed
by anyone in the family, even those who have never touched a musical
instrument in their life.

When you are finished listening to the song, press the PLAY/STOP
button again to stop.
4.4 PART VOLUME BALANCE FOR CONCERT MAGIC
When used with Concert Magic, the balance slider adjusts the volume
balance of the melody part and the accompaniment.
As the slider is moved to the right, the sound of the melody becomes
louder and the accompaniment becomes softer. The balance
changes in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.
4.5 CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES
Playing with
Concert Magic
After playing for a while with Concert Magic you may think that it’s too
easy and there is very little to learn.
While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for
beginners, there are also some which will challenge you and require
practice to play beautifully. Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs falls into
one of three different arrangement types depending on the skill level
required to perform them.
EASY BEAT
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a
constant steady beat on any key on the keyboard.
Look at the following example, “Für Elise”. The Note Navigator indicates
that you should keep a constant steady rhythm all the way through the
song. This is the distinguishing character of an Easy Beat song.

MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to
you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any key on
the keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm can be helpful.
Play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” for example. Follow the melody’s
rhythm as shown.

When performing fast songs with Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier
to tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to
play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.

It may take some practice to get them just right. A good way to learn
these songs is to listen to them first, and then try to tap out the rhythms
that you hear.
◆ NOTE
PLAYING WITH CONCERT MAGIC
In the song list on page 65, the arrangement type is marked next to each
song title as “EB” for Easy Beat, “MP” for Melody Play and “SK” for Skillful.
19
Playing with
Concert Magic
SKILLFUL
These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To
perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the
accompaniment notes on any key on the keyboard, like “Waltz of the
Flowers” shown below. The Note Navigator will be very helpful with the
Skillful songs.
4.6 STEADY BEAT
Regardless of which arrangement type a Concert Magic song is, with
Steady Beat you can play any Concert Magic song by simply tapping any
key with a constant steady beat.
Press and hold the CONCERT MAGIC button. The LCD display will
change to show the current Concert Magic mode in the second line.

5. RECORDER
The CN piano’s recorder records your playing much like a tape recorder,
and it is just as easy to use. The CN piano records a song as digital data
instead of audio data and stores the song inside the instrument. Because
the song is stored as digital information you can modify the song when
you play it back. You can, for example, adjust the tempo without changing
the pitch or use a different effect setting from one you have recorded.
Once you understand the recorder, you will find it to be a useful tool for
both practicing and playing the piano.
BASICS OF THE RECORDER
Let’s take a brief look at the recorders features.
TWO-TRACK THREE-SONG RECORDER
The CN piano’s recorder is a 2-track 3-song recorder. This means you
can record up to three different songs, store them in memory, and play
them back as you like.
Each song has two separate tracks called “Parts” that can be recorded
separately. This lets you record for example, the left hand part first on
one track, then record the right hand part next on the other track while
listening to the first track.
Recorder
When you record or play back a song, you can select which part (track)
of which song you are going to record or play back. When you are
recording, selecting the same part again to record will erase any previous
recordings on that part. Because of this it’s important to remember; when
recording both parts separately, after recording the first part be sure to
select the second part to record, otherwise you will end up recording
over the first part of the song.
RECORDED INFORMATION
The CN piano records the following:
Note information
Sound selection
Pedal movements
Balance settings Set the dual/split balance as desired before you
start recording. The balance setting and the
balance changes made during the recording will
be recorded.
Transpose . . . . . . When you record in a different key using the
transpose function, the CN piano will record the
actual transposed notes you hear, not the notes
as you play with the keyboard.
22
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
RECORDING CAPACITY
The total recording capacity is about 30,000 notes per song, 90,000 notes
total. Pressing any buttons or pedals is counted as one note.
When the recorder reaches its maximum capacity, the CN piano will stop
recording at that point.
RECORDER AND METRONOME
When playing back a song with the metronome turned on, the metronome
always restarts with the down beat.
5.1 RECORDING (REC BUTTON)

7. TOUCH, TRANSPOSE AND MENU FUNCTIONS
7.1 TOUCH
Touch lets you select a different touch sensitivity for the keyboard from
the standard touch of an acoustic piano. You can change the sensitivity
to one of five different settings: Light, Light+, Heavy, Heavy+ and Off.
Light
Light+
Heavy
Heavy+
Off
For those still developing finger strength. A louder volume is
produced even when playing with a soft touch.
For players with a delicate touch. Requires less striking force
to achieve a forte note.
Perfect for those with strong fingers. Requires a heavier touch
to produce a loud volume.
Requires more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the
keys are struck. This setting is suitable for sounds that have a
fixed dynamic range such as Organ and Harpsichord.
To change from the standard touch, press the TOUCH button. The
LED indicator above the TOUCH button will be turned on to indicate that

Touch, Transpose
and Menu Buttons
In Dual mode sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between
the two layered sounds is not enough to create the desired sound character
if both sounds are very dynamic. Two equally dynamic sounds can be
difficult to control and play comfortably. The Layer Dynamics function
allows you to limit the overall dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to
create a perfect blend between both sounds in a layer. In addition to
reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting the dynamic sensitivity
of the layered sound also makes the layered sound easier to control in
relation to the main sound as you play. With this function, you can
comfortably play as dynamically as you like with the main sound while
maintaining control of the layered sound.
MENU buttons, use the VALUE buttons to select the desired
Dynamics level.
5 LayerDynamics
= 10
The LCD display shows the dynamics of the layered
sound is 10 (dynamics of the layered sound are
unchanged).
You can select the level of dynamics from 1 to 10. A value of 1 produces
the greatest reduction in dynamics and a value of 10 produces no change
in the dynamics. The default value is 10.

8. TEMPERAMENT
The CN piano offers not only equal temperament (the modern standard)
but also immediate access to temperaments popular during the
Renaissance and Baroque periods. It should be interesting and educational
to try some of the different temperaments, although the equal temperament
is dominant today.
38
KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CN4
After Selecting the “Temperament” function by pressing the MENU
buttons, use the VALUE buttons to select your desired
temperament.
8 Temperament
= Equal(P.only)
The LCD display shows the type of temperament
currently selected.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS
8 Temperament
= Equal(P.only)
◆ NOTE
8 Temperament
= Pure(Major)
8 Temperament
= Pure(minor)
8 Temperament
= Pythagorean
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound then both sounds
will use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (Stretched) tuning.
MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (MAJOR)
MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT (MINOR)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonance’s for thirds and fifths is
still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
You need to be aware what key you are playing in with this temperament.
Any key modulation will result in dissonance’s. When you play music in a
particular key, you need to match the key of the temperament as well.
When playing in a major key select Pure (Major) and when playing in a
minor key select Pure (minor).
PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate
dissonance for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces
very characteristic melodic lines.
MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole
tone to eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack
of consonance’s experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure
temperament. It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with
the equal temperament.
TOUCH, TRANSPOSE AND MENU BUTTONS
39
Touch, Transpose
and Menu Buttons
8 Temperament
= Meantone
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (PIANO ONLY)
This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other
type of sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explanation
of EQUAL TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is
provided later in this section.
8 Temperament
= Werckmeister
8 Temperament
= Kirnberger
8 Temperament
= Equal(flat)
8 Temperament
= Equal
◆ NOTE
WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT
KIRNBERGER III TEMPERAMENT
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and
Pythagorean. For music with few accidentals, this temperament produces
the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals increase, the
temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean
temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the
Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT)
This is “unstretched” equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve
equal semitones. This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve
keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key. However
the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in
pure consonance.
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a
human is uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low
frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament’s tuning is
stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to
the ears. This “Stretched” equal temperament is a practical variation of
the “unstretched” equal temperament which was invented on a
mathematical basis.
After you have selected the desired temperament, please read the following
section on selecting a key signature for the temperament before
continuing.
9. KEY OF TEMPERAMENT
Touch, Transpose
and Menu Buttons
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention
of Equal temperament. When we use a temperament other than Equal
temperament, we must carefully choose the key signature to play in.
For example, if the song you are going to play is written in D major, choose
“D” as the temperament key.
After selecting the “Key Signature” function by pressing the MENU
buttons, use the VALUE buttons to set the desired key.
9 Key of Temper
= C
The LCD display shows the currently selected key
signature .
Please note that changing the key of the temperament will only change
the “balance” of the tuning, the pitch of the keyboard remains unchanged.

8. USING MIDI
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard for connecting synthesizers, sequencers (MIDI
recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange
performance data.
The CN4 is equipped with three MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN,
MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU. Each uses a special cable with a DIN
connector.
MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.
MIDI THRU : For passing along MIDI data received to another MIDI
instrument without processing.
MIDI EXAMPLES
(1) Connection to another MIDI compatible keyboard or sound
generator module
When connected as shown in the illustration, data on how the digital piano
is played (which keys are struck) can be sent to another MIDI instrument.
Plus, the sound from the CN4 can be layered over the sound of the other
instrument.
MIDI OUT
LINE IN
LINE OUT
MIDI IN
(2) Connection to an external sequencer
When connected as shown in the illustration, you can record songs played
on the CN4 with a MIDI recorder, and use the CN4 ’s tones (such as piano,
harpsichord and vibraphone, etc.) controlled by the CN4’s MULTITIMBRAL MODE function to create a multi-layer MIDI recording.

MIDI JACKS
These jacks are used to connect external MIDI devices with the CN piano.
There are three terminals: MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, and MIDI THRU.
USB JACK
This jack is used to connect with a personal computer and exchange MIDI
data.
LINE OUT JACKS
These jacks provide stereo output of the piano’s sound to amplifiers, tape
recorders or similar equipment.
The audio signal coming through the LINE IN jacks is also routed to these
jacks. The piano’s sound is mixed with the LINE IN signals.
The CN piano’s VOLUME slider can control the output level of its own
sound while it does not control the LINE IN signal.
LINE IN JACKS
These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs from other audio
equipment or electronic instruments to the piano’s speakers.
The audio signal coming through these jacks bypasses the piano’s volume
control. To adjust the volume level, use the output control of the external
device.
HEADPHONE JACKS
There are two jacks for headphones provided at the left end on the bottom
of the piano.
You can hear the piano’s sound as well as any audio signal that is coming
through the LINE IN.
