Using 3 people, one near each leg, lift the piano
body straight upward with legs parallel to the oor.
Then tilt backward until all 3 legs are vertical. Fi-
nally, lower the body until the legs touch the oor.
To avoid possible damage, don’t let the weight of

Use the Quick Start instructions on the following pages for the basic steps to change Voices, play Rhythm Patterns,
and play one of the 51 Demo Songs.
Sound and Volume
Before turning on the Andante CGP220, it’s always a good idea to set the volume

volume while playing, set the knob at its middle position.
The Volume Control is located on the left side of the control panel. Turn this knob
from left to right to increase the volume.
Headphone Jacks
The Andante CGP220 has two 1/4” headphone jacks conveniently located under the
keyboard, near the left leg on the cabinet underside. Plugging in headphones provides
privacy during practice. Both jacks operate the same so two people can play and hear
the music together. When headphones are connected the Andante CGP220’s speakers
are silent.
The AC plug shape will vary
depending on location of use
CAUTION: The CGP220 runs on AC power and works with voltages from 100 - 240 volts at
50–60 Hz. The voltage level is detected and set automatically by the CGP220.

Front Panel Display, Buttons and Controls
The features labelled on the Andante CGP220’s front panel below are discussed in detail in the following chapters.
Throughout this manual button names are shown in Bold Type, and display screen text in Italic Type.
Display Screen
Display
The alphanumeric LCD screen displays 16 characters, indicating the current instrument mode or
parameter settings.
LCD Contrast control
To the left of the Kurzweil logo is a potentiometer that controls the LCD display contrast. Turning this
small knob allows you to adjust the display visibility for different lighting environments.
Mode Select Buttons
Voice Button
Press this button to enter Voice Mode.
Rhythm Button
Press this button to enter Rhythm Mode.
Piano Button
No matter which mode is active, you may select this button to immediately return to the Concert Piano
voice (the rst voice of the Piano category).
Overview
Input/Output Panel
The Input/Output panel is located on the underside of the piano body, behind the power switch and headphone jacks.
Audio In and Audio Out
Audio Out (RCA jacks) may be used to connect the Andante CGP220 to external audio equipment, such as an
outboard mixer, powered speakers, or recording device.
Audio In jacks are used to connect the Andante CGP220’s internal speakers to other devices such as
a digital audio player or CD player. Always turn off the Andante CGP220’s power before plugging or
unplugging cables into the Audio In jacks.
The Andante CGP220’s Volume and Tone Controls do not affect the volume or tone of the sound coming
from the Audio In jacks. Therefore it is best to use a device that has its own output level control and to
use that to adjust the sound volume from the external device.
MIDI In, Out and Thru
Use the MIDI In, Out and Thru ports to connect the Andante CGP220 to other MIDI devices to receive and
send MIDI data.
CC Pedal (Volume/Expression Pedal)
This jack is used to connect a continuous controller pedal for volume and expression control. Our keyboards
require a pedal with a TRS 1/4” connector and 10k linear potentiometer. Most manufacturers EXCEPT
Yamaha and Korg make pedals with the same specications and should work. Yamaha and Korg pedals
typically use an exponential potentiometer and therefore will not work correctly. The CC-1 pedal is available
from Kurzweil. You can order a pedal through your local Kurzweil dealer.
USB
Connect a USB cable to this port to send and receive MIDI or to connect to a computer for system
updates.

USB MIDI Connection
In addition to the conventional MIDI In, Out and Thru ports, the Andante CGP220 also has a USB (Universal Serial
Bus) port on the panel on the underside of the piano. You can connect the Andante CGP220 directly to a computer with
a USB cable. This connection transmits and receives MIDI data between the Andante CGP220 and the computer.
The Andante CGP220 supports the “Plug and Play” feature used in the Windows XP or higher and Macintosh operating
systems. No drivers are required to use this connection; but you may need to enable MIDI on your computer’s sound
and audio control panel.
To use the Andante CGP220 as a MIDI controller with a computer, use any Type-A to Type-B USB cable. By default,
the Andante CGP220 acts as a MIDI controller (not a hard drive) when connected to a computer.
If you have a sequencer program installed on your computer, you can use this USB connection to record and play
your music. The Andante CGP220‘s recorder is actually a simple sequencer and the performance you record into
the Andante CGP220’s memory is MIDI performance data. Using a computer-based sequencer program provides
unlimited memory, editing, and the ability to post on the Internet.
Using Windows applications for MIDI control
Certain apps (like Windows Media Player - WMP) released with Windows VIsta or later can no longer play MIDI songs
triggering external MIDI devices; WMP is only routed to the internal Microsoft GS Synthesizer.
This means the MIDI app you choose to use must natively offer its own built-in MIDI mapping abilities. Most commercial
MIDI software products for PC have a conguration screen which includes the MIDI device mapping necessary to route
to an external MIDI device such as the Andante CGP220.

About MIDI
MIDI is the acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is the industry standard protocol which allows the
exchange of musical data between electronic musical instruments, devices (such as a sequencer), and computers.
MIDI enables MIDI-equipped devices designed by different manufacturers to communicate MIDI data to each other.
MIDI data is sent or received using standard MIDI cables to connect to other MIDI devices or a USB cable to connect
to a computer. The Andante CGP220 is equipped with conventional MIDI In, Out and Thru ports, and a USB port. The
current line of Kurzweil products have a standard class-compliant USB-MIDI implementation. They do not require the
installation of any additional drivers.
MIDI Channels
Similar to television channels, MIDI protocol transmits multiple channels of MIDI performance data. Typical MIDI
instruments can play up to 16 channels at the same time. Each channel can be assigned its own voice.
To change and/or assign MIDI channels, enter Function Mode and select the MIDI Channel parameter. See the MIDI
Implementation chart at the end of this chapter for details.
MIDI In and Out and Thru Ports
The Andante CGP220 is equipped with the conventional MIDI In, Out and Thru ports. The MIDI In port is used to
receive MIDI data from another MIDI device; the MIDI Out port is used to transmit the MIDI data generated by the
Andante CGP220 to another MIDI device; the MIDI Thru port passes MIDI In data along to an external device.
When you connect the MIDI Out of the Andante CGP220 to the MIDI In of another instrument, you can play the
sounds of both instruments simultaneously from the Andante CGP220’s keyboard.
When you connect the MIDI In of the Andante CGP220 to the MIDI Out of another controller, you can control the
Andante CGP220 using the other controller.
Depending on your system setup, you may want to use the Andante CGP220’s MIDI Thru port to pass MIDI information
from a MIDI controller or computer sequencer to the Andante CGP220 and on to the next device in your system.
