Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CA111 digital piano!
The CA111 digital piano is a revolutionary new instrument that combines the latest digital technology with traditional piano
craftsmanship inherited from KAWAI’s many years of experience in building fi ne acoustic pianos. Its AWA Grand PRO
II wooden key action provides the touch response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano,
harpsichord, organ, and other instruments, while the authentic piano tone has been created through the stereo-sampling
of concert grand pianos, and is reproduced using KAWAI’s unique Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology.
The CA111 is also equipped with a revolutionary Soundboard Speaker System, channelling sound energy onto a spruce
soundboard to faithfully reproduce the unmistakable warmth and ambience of an acoustic piano, for an even more realistic
playing experience. Additional reverb and digital effects processors provide a deeper, richer sound, while industry standard
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) jacks and a USB interface are also available, allowing the playback and connection
of other electronic instruments and personal computers.
This owner’s manual contains valuable information that will help you to make full use of the CA111’s capabilities. Please
read all sections carefully and keep this manual handy for future reference.

Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of an acoustic piano. As well as meticulously
tuning each note, the technician performs regulation and voicing adjustments that allow a fi ne instrument to truly
sing.
Virtual Technician functions simulate such refi nements digitally. The Voicing feature shapes tonal characteristics,
while the Touch function allows the performer to select the level of touch sensitivity suitable for his/her playing
style.
The String Resonance feature causes held notes to resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other notes of the same harmonic
series, while Damper Resonance recreates a similar phenomenon, whereby sympathetic and adjacent notes
resonate while the damper pedal is depressed. Finally, the Key Off Effect recreates the sound of bass hammers
returning to their strings following a rapid note release.

2) DAMPER RESONANCE
When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to vibrate
freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the strings
of the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance. The Damper
Resonance function of the CA111 piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.

About String Resonance
Even when the damper pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for any notes held will be un-dampened
and will resonate freely in sympathy with the strings of other notes that you play if they are part of the same harmonic
series. In addition, adjacent notes will also resonate.
For example, when playing the keys shown below while holding down the ‘C’ key, the string of the ‘C’ key resonates and
produces a sound.
Quietly press and hold down the ‘C’ key, and then quickly tap each of the keys shown below. Depending on the value
specifi ed in Step 2, it should be possible to clearly hear the String Resonance simulation.

6) TEMPERAMENT
The CA111 piano offers immediate access to a variety of musical temperaments popular during the Renaissance
and Baroque periods. It may prove interesting and educational to experiment with different temperaments, other
than the modern ‘equal temperament’ standard that is dominant in music today.
The following temperaments are available:
¡ Equal Temperament (piano)
(Equal P. only)
¡ Pure Temperament (major)
(Pure major)
¡ Pure Temperament (minor)
(Pure minor)
¡ Pythagorean Temperament
(Pythagorean)
¡ Meantone Temperament
(Meantone)
¡ Werckmeister III Temperament
(Werckmeister)
¡ Kirnberger III Temperament
(Kirnberger)
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 (fl at). An explanation of Equal Temperament and Equal
Temperament (fl at) is provided later in this section.
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound, then both sounds will use
the Equal Temperament (stretched) tuning.
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fi fths, is still popular
for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
Performers must be aware which key they are playing in when using this
temperament.
Any key modulation will result in dissonances. When playing music in a particular key,
the key of the temperament must also be correctly matched.
When playing in a major key select Pure (major) and when playing in a minor key
select Pure (minor).
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fi fths,
is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.
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 consonances
experienced with certain fi fths for the Mersenne Pure Temperament. It produces
chords that are more beautiful than those with the Equal 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.
7
MENU
FUNCTIONS
¡ Equal Temperament (fl at)
(Equal Flat)
¡ Equal Temperament
(stretched)
This is an ‘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.
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.

11) MIDI CHANNEL
MIDI OVERVIEW
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting
synthesizers, sequencers (MIDI recorders) and other electronic instruments in order to exchange performance
data.
The CA111 piano is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. 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 uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and
transmit (MIDI OUT) channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT jacks and are capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI.
The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and the transmit channels are used to
transmit data to another MIDI device.

When connected as shown in this illustration,
songs played on the CA111 piano can be
recorded with a sequencer, and then played
back at any time.
When connected as shown in this illustration,
MIDI data sent from the CA111 piano can also
be played on a separate synthesizer. Moreover,
the audio output from the synthesizer can also
Synthesizer
be connected directly to the CA111 piano.
Such a combination, for example, would allow
the CA111 piano sound to be combined with that
of a String sound from a separate synthesizer.
¡ MIDI Functions
The CA111 piano is capable of the following MIDI functions:
¡ Sending/Receiving keyboard note information (i.e. which keys are pressed).
¡ Sending/Receiving pedal information (i.e. ON/OFF data for the damper, soft and sostenuto pedals).
¡ Receiving volume data (i.e. adjusting the volume of the CA111 piano using a separate MIDI instrument).
¡ Sending/Receiving exclusive data.

MENU
FUNCTIONS
¡ Sending recorded playback data (i.e. allowing recorded performances to be played using a separate MIDI device
or saved using an external sequencer).
