MIDI Implementation

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.

The volume of string resonance can be changed to the level you prefer. The value changes from 0 (o) to 10.

About String Resonance

In acoustic pianos, there are strings corresponding to each key. When a key is pressed,

strings of other keys in the related harmonic series to the note played resonate. This eect

is called "sound resonance", which makes the sound of an acoustic piano full and rich.

* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.

Especially for low-pitched tones, when a key is played strongly and released quickly, there will be the sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before the sound stops. The key-o eect simulates this phenomenon, and allows you to adjust the key-o volume to your taste. The value changes from 0 (o) to 10.

6.2.6 Voicing (Int Piano only)

1 Concert Grand

Voicing= Normal

* The display shows this parameter only when Piano sound is selected.

This parameter re-creates electronically the voicing technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings on an acoustic piano to change the tone character. This function is a very powerful way to enhance and customize the piano response for each player and each sound. The eect is only available for the internal piano sounds - other sounds cannot use this parameter.

Normal Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire

dynamic range.

Mellow 1/2 Reproduces the eect of a softer hammer surface. It produces a mellower

tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played notes

will have the tone of a mellow voicing and notes played harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a dramatic change from mellow to bright throughout the entire dynamic range.

Bright 1/2

Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

6.3 Common Parameters

The following common parameters aect all Zones.

6.3.1 Stretch Tuning

COMMON

SStrtch= Piano_w

6.3.2 Temperament

COMMON

STempr =Pure Maj

The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. The tuning of an acoustic piano is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears.

O: The tuning is at without stretching.

On: The tuning is always stretched.

Piano: The tuning is stretched only when piano sounds are selected.

On W: Same as “On” but the stretching is wider.

Piano W: Same as “Piano” but the stretching is wider.

This parameter sets the temperament of the MP6.

Equal This is the most popular tuning method 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 becom es less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.

Pure Maj/Min This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and

fths is still popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony. When playing in a major key select “Pure Maj” and when playing in a minor key select “Pure Min”.

Pythagor This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate

dissonance for fths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.

Meantone

Werkmeis / Kirnberg

User You can make your own temperament by raising or lowering the

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 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 Pythago rean temperament. It is used primarily for classical musi c written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.

6.3.5 Foot SW CC# (Control Change)

COMMON

FootSW CC# = SST

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.

* When Temperament is set to Equal or User, this page won’t be displayed.

When the temperament is set to “User”, adjust the pitch for each key and create your own temperament. The value changes from -50 to +50. These pages will only be displayed when the user temperament is selected.

Note:

The value is shown in “cent”. Half tone equals to 100 cents.

This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Footswitch connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack on the rear panel. See page 96 for the list of Control Change numbers.

If “SW” is selected, the footswitch is used to turn on/o the SW button. If “RTR” is selected, the footswitch is used to switch the speed of the rotary speaker between slow and fast when the Rotary eect is in use. If “AMP” is selected, the footswitch is used to turn the AMP simulator on/o.

When the System parameter FootSW is “Setup+” this page won’t be displayed.

This parameter assigns a Control Change Number to the Expression Pedal connected to the EXP jack on the rear panel.

See page 96 for the list of Control Change numbers.

If “AFT” is selected, the expression pedal is used to send After Touch information. If “RTR” is selected, the expression pedal is used to switch the speed of the rotary speaker between slow and fast when the Rotary eect is in use. If “AMP” is selected, the expression pedal is used to turn the AMP simulator on/o. If “Pedal Wah” is selected in EFX, the pedal works as a Wah Pedal regardless of the setting in this parameter.
