Thank you for purchasing this KAWAI stage piano.

This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the usage and

operation of the MP6.

Please read all sections carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.

Welcome to the MP6

Thank you for purchasing the KAWAI MP6. The MP6 Stage Piano features 256 Internal Sounds of the highest quality. The MP6 can also be used as a MIDI master controller. On stage, at home, or in the studio, the MP6 has been designed to oer quick and easy access to many sophisticated features.

Overview of Features

ACOUSTIC PIANO TOUCH

The MP6's Responsive Hammer action features a realistic weight-graded keyboard with Ivory Touch surfaces and authentic Let-o mechanism to satisfy the expectation of even the most discerning pianist.

4 ASSIGNABLE ZONES

The MP6 keyboard can be divided into 4 zones, with each zone able to play internal sounds, external MIDI devices, or both types simultaneously. Zones can be played individually, or freely split, layered and velocity switched to create stunning personalized performances.

256 INTERNAL SOUNDS, 256 SETUPS

The MP6 oers not only acoustic and electric piano sounds, but also other sounds such as organ, brass, pads, and so on. All the settings for these sounds together with the settings to control external devices can be stored into 256 setups. User setups and sounds can also be saved to USB memory using the USB to Device connection.

REVERB AND EFFECTS

The MP6 oers 7 high quality REVERB types, and 23 dierent EFFECT types to improve acoustical realism and enhance tonal quality. The MP6 is also equipped with an Amp Simulator which reproduces the sound, response, and overdrive characteristics of a typical amp/speaker combination used with electronic keyboards.

RECORDER AND USB CONNECTIVITY

The MP6’s internal recorder allows up to 10 dierent songs to be recorded, stored in internal memory, and played back at the touch of a button. The MP6 is also equipped with both USB to Host and USB to Device connectors.

The USB to Host connector allows MIDI data to be sent and received to and from a computer, while the USB to Device connector allows sound, setup, and song data to be conveniently stored on a USB memory device. SMF songs and MP3 or WAV audio can also be recorded and played back directly from the instrument.

Note:

When EFX/REVERB depth is set to 0 while the EFX/REVERB button is active, the

EFX/REVERB button will blink to indicate that the EFX/REVERB is turned ON but

the depth is set to 0.

REVERB Time REVERB Depth

EFX rate and REVERB time are eective to internal zone only.

If the selected zone is set to BOTH, changing the value for EFX depth or REVERB

depth aects for both internal and external sections. If you want dierent settings

for internal and external sections, rst enter the edit mode by pressing the MENU

button and press the EFFECT button. Now you can select internal or external zone

with ZONE SELECT button. (See page 35 for details.)

Quick Change Reverb Oset

Press and hold the EFFECT button. The EFFECT button starts blinking and the following screen for Reverb Oset (see page 60) will be shown until the button is released.

5.2 EQ (EQUALIZER)

The MP6 contains a three-band graphic equalizer to shape the overall tone of the sound. The EQ aects all zones at the same time. However, each SETUP can have its own EQ setting that aects the internal sounds only.

Be sure that the EQ button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. If the EQ button is turned o, press it to turn it ON.

The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the EQ parameters. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings. Each parameter of the EQ has an adjustable range from -9 to +9. A positive (+) value indicates amplication, or a boost of that frequency range. A negative (-) value indicates attenuation, or a cut of that frequency range.

The MFreq parameter has an adjustable range from 355Hz to 2500Hz.
