Thank you for purchasing this Kawai MP7 stage piano.
This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the instrument’s usage and operation.
Please read all chapters carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.
AboutthisOwner’sManual
Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This chapter
provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP7’s control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors, and details
how the components of the instrument’s sound are structured.
The Main Operation chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, beginning with
turning zones on and o, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment
using the four control knobs, before examining how reverb, EFX, and amp simulation can all be applied to dramatically change the
character of the selected sound. Next, the MP7’s authentic Tonewheel Organ mode is outlined, explaining how to adjust drawbar
positions using zone faders and control knobs, and change the organ’s percussion characteristics. The chapter closes with an
explanation of the instrument’s global EQ and transpose functions.
The EDIT Menu chapter (page 38) lists all available INT mode and EXT mode parameters by category for convenient reference. The
STORE Button & SETUP Menus chapter (page 63) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the entire panel conguration as a
SETUP, then recalling dierent SETUPs from the MP7’s internal memory.
The Recorder chapter (page 67) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument’s internal
memory, and also MP3/WAV audio les saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP7’s metronome/drum
pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 98), while the SYSTEM
Menu chapter (page 104) explains the MP7’s system settings and various reset functions.
Finally, the Appendix section (page 116) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the
instrument’s internal sounds, drum rhythms, eects, MIDI reference information, and full specication details.

Feature Highlights
‘Responsive Hammer 2’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-o simulation
The MP7’s Responsive Hammer 2 (RH2) keyboard action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with its realistic
movement and accurate 3-sensor technology providing a smooth, natural, and highly responsive piano playing experience. The
weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammer s and lighter treble hammers of an acou stic piano,
while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo and staccato passages.
The RH2 keyboard action also reproduces the subtle let-o sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very softly,
Introduction
enhancing delicate pianissimo playing to satisfy the expectations of even the most discerning pianists. Finally, the MP7 keyboard
action features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces as standard. This nely textured material gently absorbs moisture to assist playing
control, and possesses a natural, matte nish that is smooth, but not slippery.
The ultimate pianos for Concert, Pop, and Jazz
The MP7 captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this
exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ XL
technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, aording pianists an
extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.
With separate variations for Concert, Pop, and Jazz playing, the MP7 oers an excellent selection of high quality acoustic piano
sounds suitable for various musical styles, including a separate sub-category devoted entirely to upright and mono pianos.
Moreover, Kawai’s unique Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano sound to be
shaped at the touch of a button or the turn of a knob, with parameters to adjust voicing and regulation, string and damper
resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises.
VintageEPs,twineects,andampsimulation
The MP7 also features an excellent selection of vintage electric piano sounds, each with their own distinctive charac teristics. Enjoy
their natural, organic sound, or pass the signal through a wide variety of classic eects stomp boxes, before plugging into one of
the ve classic amp and speaker cabinets – complete with realistic microphone character and position modelling.
Classic tonewheel organs with drawbar control and authentic percussion
The MP7’s brand new tonewheel organ simulation transforms the stage piano into a vintage electromechanical organ, complete
with nine real-time adjustable drawbars and authentic percussion controls. Organ enthusiasts can dial-in favourite drawbar
registrations, adjust the ‘condition’ of the organ tone, and select their preferred rotary speaker character, then store the sound to
memory for immediate recall. With organ mode selected, the MP7 adjusts the strike point for the keyboard, allowing blazing runs
and greasy licks to be played on its fully-weighted action as easily as the real thing.
High quality strings, pads, brasses, basses and more
Supplementing the realistic acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, and growling tonewheel organs, the MP7 features a broad
range of high quality strings, pads, synths, brass and woodwind voices, basses, guitars, and a whole host of other useful sounds.
These supplementary sounds are ideal for building layers, adding texture to other instruments, or for playing individually, at
the front of the mix. And if the stock sound isn’t quite perfect, feel free to customise and tweak using the MP7’s exible ADSR
parameters and resonance/cut-o controls – all immediately accessible directly from the panel.
Four zone master keyboard controller
The MP7 maintains the MP series’ classic four-zone approach, 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
personalised performances. The MP7’s powerful customisation allows parameters and settings for each zone to be adjusted and
controlled independently, making for an unbelievably versatile all-in-one performance instrument.
10
Intuitive operation, large LCD, real-time assignable control knobs
The MP7’s control panel is clearly arranged and easy to use, with related functions grouped together and placed where you’d
expect to nd them. A large LCD display and four assignable control knobs, allow several parameters to be adjusted directly in
real-time, without getting lost in menus – concentrate on playing, rather than trying to remember which button does what.
256Setupmemories:enoughforthe busiest stage musician
The MP7 allows every single customised sound, knob position, fader level, and adjustable parameter to be stored in memory as a
SETUP, and recalled at the touch of a button. With over 250 SETUP memories, the MP7 is ideal for busy stage musicians who like
to plan several shows ahead, before going out on the road.
USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV/SMF le recording and playback
The MP7 is equipped with USB connectors that not only allow the instrument to be connected to a computer for MIDI use, but also
to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This ‘USB to Device’ feature allows customised sounds, SETUP memories,
and recorder songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity.
USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio or SMF MIDI les, allowing performing musicians to
play along with professional backing tracks, or simply learn the chords or melody for a new piece. It is even possible to save
performances directly as MP3, WAV, or SMF les for emailing to band members, casual listening away from the keyboard, or fur ther
editing using an audio workstation.

Introduction
Understanding the MP7
Preparation before use
The MP7 does not feature built-in speakers. Therefore, in order to listen to the MP7, it will rst be necessary to connect a mixer,
keyboard amplier, or headphones to the instrument.
Once connected to an audio output device, press the POWER SWITCH located on the right of the rear panel to turn on the MP7.
It is recommended to turn on the MP7 before the audio output device in order to avoid the unpleasant switching noise that can
sometimes occur.
MP7 zone struc ture: e xplanation
The MP7 features 4 zones: MAIN, SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3. Each zone features a dedicated VOLUME fader and can be turned ON or OFF
freely. Zones can be set to INT (play the MP7’s internal sounds), EXT (control external MIDI devices) or INT and EXT simultaneously.
When a zone is set to INT, the process of selecting and assigning sounds is largely identical for each zone. However, there are some
important dierences between the MAIN zone and three SUB zones. First, the MAIN zone features two separate EFX modules and
an additional AMP simulator, while the SUB zones each feature one EFX module only. Moreover, the MAIN zone allows any of the 129
eects to be assigned to both EFX modules, however the variety of eects available to the SUB zones’ EFX modules is limited to 22
eects. Finally, the MP7’s tonewheel organ mode can only be used with the MAIN zone is selected, thus the SUB zones are limited
to using the standard PCM organ sounds. All sounds are adjusted using the various parameters in the EDIT menu, with additional
‘Feature Parameters’ that are specic to certain sounds.
REVERB settings are common for all zones, however the depth parameter can be controlled independently for each zone. The
MP7’s EQ is also common for all zones, however parameters in the EDIT menu allow the tonal character for each zone’s sound to be
adjusted independently.
When set to EXT, zones are used to control external MIDI devices. The MAIN and SUB zones share the same MIDI capabilities, allowing
up to four MIDI channels to be independently controlled at the same time. As with INT mode, various parameters to dene transmit/
receive channels, MMC features, keyboard ranges, and knob assignments can be accessed for each EXT zone via the EDIT menu.
Modications to each sound can be stored as individual SOUND presets, while the entire conguration of the MP7 itself can be
stored in one of the 256 SETUP memories.

As noted above, the total number of eect types available for the MAIN zone is much larger than that of the SUB zones. Therefore, when
assigning a sound to a SUB zone that was prepared using an eect only available for the MAIN zone, the MP7 will automatically select the
closest ‘substitute’ eect. An
icon will also be shown beside the type parameter to indicate that a substitute eect is being used.
The example below shows the ‘Classic’ AutoPan eect being substituted for the ‘Standard’ AutoPan eect.
* Only the EFX1 eect will be substituted. Any eects that are assigned to EFX2 will be disregarded.

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 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’.
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.
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 Pythagorean temperament.
They are used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User dened temperament created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

Virtual Technician (PIANO sounds)
EDIT Menu
1. Voicing
This parameter attempts to recreate the technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings of an acoustic piano, allowing the
tonal character and dynamics of the MP7’s piano sounds to be dramatically altered.
Voicing types
Voicing Type Description
Normal The normal tonal character of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range.
Mellow 1 A softer, more mellow tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range.
Mellow 2 An even soften tonal character than Mellow 1.
Dynamic A tonal character that changes dramatically from mellow to bright, depending on the strength of key strike.
Bright 1 A bright tonal character throughout the entire dynamic range.
Bright 2 An even brighter tonal character than Bright 1.
2. Stereo Width
This parameter adjusts the width of the stereo sound.
VALU E: 0 ~ 127 VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10
3. String Resonance
This parameter adjusts the volume of the string resonance.
String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos
whereby the strings of held notes resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other
notes of the same harmonic series.
6
TYPES
4. Damper Resonance
This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper resonance.
Depressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers,
allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on
the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in
sympathetic resonance.
6. Damper Noise
This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper noise.
When the damper pedal is depressed and released, it is often possible to
hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings.
8. Fall-back Noise
This parameter adjusts the volume of the noise heard when the
keyboard action ‘falls back’ after a key is released.
VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10 VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10
VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10 VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10
VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 10 CLOSE,OPEN1, OPEN2, OPEN3
52
5. Key-o Eect
This parameter adjusts the volume of the key-o eect.
When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the
keyboard – if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often
possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings
immediately before the vibrations are stopped.
7. Hammer Delay
This parameter adjusts the delay of the hammer striking the
string when playing with pianissimo.
9. Topboard
This parameter changes the position of the piano’s topboard.
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s
topboard (lid) aects both the volume and ‘openness’ of the tone
produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reect o the
polished lid surface and project into the room, while a closed lid has the
opposite eect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
53

Virtual Technician (E.PIANO, HARPSICHORD, BASS sounds)
1. Key-o Noise
When an E.PIANO category sound is selected, this parameter
adjusts the volume of the noise heard when the keys of an
electromechanical instrument are released.
When a harpsichord or bass sound is selected this parameter
adjusts the volume of the release noise for harpsichord and
bass sounds.
VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 127 VALU E: 0 ~ 127
Virtual Technician (DRAWBAR sounds)
1. Key Click Level
This parameter adjusts the volume of the key click sound when
playing drawbar organ sounds.
VALU E:OFF, 1 ~ 127 VALU E: 0 ~ 127
2. Key-o Delay
This parameter adjusts the delay time before the Key-o Noise
is heard.
2.WheelNoiseLevel
This parameter adjusts the volume of the ambient noise
produced by the organ’s spinning tonewheels.
Increase the value of this parameter to give the tonewheel organ a more
vintage character.
OverviewoftheEDITMenu(EXT mode)
The EDIT menu can also be used to adjust parameters for zones in EXT mode. As with the INT mode EDIT menus,
the parameters are grouped by category, providing direct control over any connected MIDI devices.
As with zones set to INT mode, this collection of parameters, together with other adjustable settings, can be stored
as a SETUP memory (page 64). The MP7 provides 256 user programmable SETUP memories.
