Welcome to the KAWAI CP139 Quick Start Guide.
This guide attempts to provide new CP users with a selection of step-by-step instructions to some of these instruments’
most useful features. With so many buttons, menus, and functions, the CP139 can appear rather daunting at first,
however by following a few basic steps we’ll soon be learning how to select sounds and accompaniment styles, record
our own songs, and even save pieces to USB memory.
Below is a list of topics that we’ll be covering in this guide:

1. OVERVIEW OF CONTROLS
Aside from the standard 88-key piano keyboard, there are a number of different ways to control the various functions of
the CP139 instrument. Below is a brief explanation of the panel buttons, tempo/value dial, volume sliders, and touch
screen LCD display which will be used throughout this Quick Start guide.
PANEL BUTTONS
The panel buttons are responsible for controlling the majority of functions on the CP139, with buttons to the left of the
display associated with selecting and adjusting accompaniment styles, and buttons to the right of the display used to
select and adjust instrument sounds.
1
OVERVIEW
OF CONTROLS
In addition, the top row of circular shaped buttons control the main functions of the CP139, while the square shaped buttons
on the middle and bottom rows are typical used to adjust parameters and settings within these main functions. Finally,
many of the buttons also contain an LED indicator which will turn on or off when a function is activated or deactivated.
The position and grouping of the panel buttons should become familiar reasonably quickly, allowing you to navigate
around the CP139 almost instinctively, and concentrate on making truly great music.
Style buttons: to the left of the display Sound buttons: to the right of the display
TEMPO/VALUE DIAL, VOLUME SLIDERS
The Tempo/Value dial is used to increase or decrease the tempo of accompaniment styles and songs, scroll through
menu screens, and also to adjust values quickly and efficiently.
The Style/Song Volume slider is used to increase or decrease the volume of accompaniment styles, and songs played
back from the built-in recorder or USB memory. This slider does not control the volume of the keyboard or external inputs
such as the microphone.
The Master Volume slider, meanwhile, controls the overall volume of the instrument, including accompaniment styles
and songs, the keyboard, and external inputs.

2. SOUNDS
There are over 900 different instrument sounds built into the CP139, providing an almost limitless range of possible
musical playing styles. However, with such a large selection of instrument voices available, it is important to understand
the various methods of selecting and adjusting the sounds. After following the steps in this topic, you should become
confident at navigating around different screen menus, and be able to select multiple sounds within a few seconds.
THE ‘RIGHT 1’ PART
The panel buttons are responsible for controlling the majority of functions on the CP139, with buttons to the left of the
display associated with selecting and adjusting accompaniment styles, and buttons to the right of the display used to
select and adjust instrument sounds.
Step 1
Turn on the instrument.

2
SOUNDS
The Concert Grand is a beautiful sound, possessing the distinctive warmth and character or KAWAI's finest acoustic
pianos. However, what if we wish to play a piano with a slightly brighter, more modern tone? Let's experiment with some
alternative piano sounds.
Step 4
Press the PIANO panel button.
A selection of acoustic piano, electric piano, and keyboard instrument sounds will be shown in the LCD display.
Initially, all sounds within a category will be available for
selection - the full list will often span several pages.
To display a particular type of sound, such as just the
available acoustic pianos, touch the corresponding
sub-category.
Step 5
Touch the Acoustic sub-category.
The list of sounds will be filtered to show only the acoustic piano sounds.

Step 6
Touch Modern Piano, then play the keyboard.
¨
The sound will have changed to a brighter, more modern piano sound.
Press the EXIT panel button, or wait for a few seconds, to return to the MAIN screen.
Repeat the steps above, and experiment with selecting the various acoustic piano, electric piano, and other keyboard
instrument sounds. Next, try selecting sounds from a different category, such as Strings, Brass, or Woodwind, until you
become familiar at selecting sounds from each category button and sub-category.
If no panel buttons are pressed, and the display is not touched while showing different screen menus (such as
the sound category list), the display will automatically return to the MAIN screen after a period of 20 seconds.

SOUNDS
To adjust this waiting period, or to prevent the MAIN screen from returning automatically, please refer to the
Display Control instructions in the main CP139 owner's manual.
THE ‘RIGHT 2’ PART, COMBINING WITH ‘RIGHT 1’
The CP139 allows four different sound parts to be defined to the keyboard at any one time. The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2
parts are used most frequently, and can either be played separately, or together. In the following steps we shall select
sounds for RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2, practice activating and deactivating each part individually, before combining the two
parts simultaneously.
Step 1
Select the Concert Grand sound for RIGHT 1.
Step 2
Press the RIGHT 1 panel button.
The LED indicator for the RIGHT 1 panel button will
turn off to indicate that the part is inactive.
Press the EXIT panel button, or wait for a few seconds, to return to the MAIN screen.

SOUNDS
Step 3
Play the keyboard.
No sound will be heard. This is because the RIGHT 1 part is now inactive.
Let's activate the RIGHT 2 part and assign a sound to it.
Step 4
Press the RIGHT 2 panel button.
The RIGHT 2 box will become highlighted to indicate
that the part is active.
The LED indicator for the RIGHT 2 panel button will
also turn on.
Step 5

Press the EXIT panel button, or wait for a few seconds, to return to the MAIN screen.
The RIGHT 2 box will be highlighted and Warm
Strings will be written in large letters to indicate that
the Warm Strings sound is selected, and that the
part is active.
Step 6
Play the keyboard.
The beautiful sound of Warm Strings will be heard.
The procedure above allows us to assign different sounds to the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts, activating and deactivating each
part as desired, without having to reselect the same sounds multiple times. As noted previously, it is also possible to combine
both the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts (often referred to as 'DUAL MODE'), allowing sounds to be layered together.
10
Step 7
Press the RIGHT 1 panel button.
Step 8
Play the keyboard.
The RIGHT 1 box will become highlighted, with
Concert Grand written in large letters to indicate
that the Concert Grand sound is selected, and that
the part is active.
The LED indicator for the RIGHT 1 panel button will
also turn on.
2
SOUNDS
The sound of both the Concert Grand and Warm Strings will be heard simultaneously.
Once again, repeat the steps above, experimenting with different sounds for the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts.
Continue to activate and deactivate the two parts until you become familiar with this important control system.
THE ‘LEFT/SPLIT’ PART
Having familiarized ourselves with the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts, let's continue this introduction of the part controls
by experimenting with the LEFT/SPLIT part. The LEFT/SPLIT part allows a third instrument sound to be assigned to
the left side of the keyboard. This is often used to play bass parts within the lower two octaves of the keyboard, however
the exact length (i.e. number of keys) can be freely altered by adjusting the SPLIT POINT.
Step 1
Press the LEFT/SPLIT panel button.
The LEFT/SPLIT box will become highlighted to
indicate that the part is active.
The LED indicator for the LEFT/SPLIT panel button
will also turn on.

SOUNDS
Step 3
Play the keyboard.
The Acoustic Bass sound will be heard in the lower notes, while the Concert Grand and Warm Strings sounds will
continue to be heard simultaneously in the middle and upper notes.
ADJUSTING THE SPLIT POINT
The SPLIT POINT is used to set the length of the keyboard split by defining the position where the LEFT/SPLIT part
ends and where the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts begin. The default SPLIT POINT is between keys F-2 and F#2.

Step 2
Press a key on the keyboard.
This key will be used as the new SPLIT POINT, defining the length of the LEFT/SPLIT part, and the RIGHT 1 and
RIGHT 2 parts.
It is also possible to increase or decrease the SPLIT POINT incrementally by touching the W and X symbols
on either side of the keyboard image shown in the bottom area of the display.

THE ‘SOLO’ PART
The SOLO part allows a fourth instrument sound to be combined with the existing RIGHT 1 and/or RIGHT 2 parts.
Step 1
Press the SOLO panel button.
The SOLO box will become highlighted to indicate
that the part is active.
The LED indicator for the SOLO panel button will
also turn on.
Step 2
Select the Exp Jazz Clarinet sound for the SOLO part.
¨

SOUNDS
Step 3
Play the keyboard.
The sound of the Concert Grand, Strings, and Clarinet will all be heard simultaneously.
You may wish to deactivate the RIGHT 1 and/or RIGHT 2 parts in order to hear the SOLO instrument more clearly.
The SOLO part is intended for playing monophonic voices, such as flute, saxophone, and other woodwind
instruments. When two or more keys are pressed simultaneously, only the highest note will be played, however
this behavior can be adjusted if necessary. For more information, please refer to the Solo Settings instructions
in the main CP139 owner's manual.
It is also possible to define an additional SPLIT POINT for the right side of the keyboard, specifically for the SOLO
part. For more information, please refer to the Solo Settings instructions in the main CP139 owner's manual.
As we have seen, assigning instrument sounds to each part is a relatively simple process. Yet by activating and
deactivating the parts it is possible to create rich, complex voices, allowing up to four different instrument sounds to be
played simultaneously, across the keyboard.
3. STYLES
There are nearly 300 different accompaniment styles built into the CP139, covering various categories of popular music
to offer a rich playing experience. After following the steps in this topic, you should become confident at selecting different
