1 Feature Highlights‘Responsive Hammer III’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-off simulation

Introduction

The new Responsive Hammer III (RHIII) 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 hammers and lighter treble hammers of an
acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo andstaccato passages.
The CN35 digital piano also features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb finger moisture to assist the player’s
performance, while, let-off simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch’ sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grandpiano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.

Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CN35 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

 Sustain pedal (right pedal)

Introduction

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands havebeen lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the pianosound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal

 Soft pedal (left pedal)

 Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes thathave been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.

When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes.

 Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board
to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor
and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become
damaged.

Pedal support bolt

When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal
support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.

 Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.

 Grand Feel pedal system
The CN35 digital piano features the Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of
Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano.

TouchAs with an acoustic piano, the CN35 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, anda softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strengthand speed of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch Curve setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six
different preset touch curve settings available, with two additional ‘User’ settings allowing performers to customise
the instrument’s responsiveness to suit their individual playing style.

Touch Curve

Description

Light +

Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.

Playing the Piano Touch Curve types

A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength.

Light* This touch curve is recommended for children and organ players.

Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano.

Normal (default)* This touch curve is used when the Touch function is turned off.

Heavy

Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger fingers.

Heavy +

Requires considerably more striking force to achieve a loud volume.
A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.

Off (constant)* This touch curve intended for playing sounds of instruments that have a fixed dynamic range (e.g. organ and harpsichord).

2-2 Damper Resonance
Pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When anote or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal pressed, not only will the strings of the notes played
vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

2-5 Key-off Effect
When playing an acoustic piano – particularly in the bass region of the keyboard – if a key is played with force andreleased quickly, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings immediately before
the vibrations are stopped.
In addition, the speed at which keys are lifted will also affect the character of the sound. For example, when lifting
the keys quickly (e.g. staccato playing) the ‘release’ portion of the sound will be noticeably shorter than whenlifting the keys slowly (e.g. legato playing).
The CN35 digital piano reproduces both characteristics, with the Key-off Effect setting allowing the volume of the
key-off sound to be adjusted, and the key-off release speed detection to be turned on or off.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds, Classic E.P., 60’s E.P., Classic E.P. 2 and Classic E.P. 3 sound.

2-8 Topboard
When playing an acoustic grand piano, the position of the instrument’s topboard (lid) affects both the volume and‘openness’ of the tone produced. A fully open topboard allows sound waves to reflect off the polished lid surface
and project into the room, while a closed lid has the opposite effect, resulting in a darker, more opaque tone.
The CN35 digital piano attempts to simulate these characteristics, with four different topboard positions.
* This Virtual Technician setting will affect acoustic piano sounds only.

The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CN35 digital piano to be changed from the modern‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance andBaroque periods. It is also possible to create customised temperaments using the User Temperaments function.

 Temperament types
Temperament type

Description

Equal Temperament(Equal)This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones.
This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitlessmodulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord
is in pure consonance.

Pure Temperament(Pure Major/Pure Minor)

This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in choral
music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances.
* The key of the temperament, and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.

Pythagorean Temperament(Pythagorean)This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very
limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.

Meantone Temperament(Meantone)

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
fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.

Werckmeister III Temperament(Werkmeister)
Kirnberger III Temperament(Kirnberger)

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music withfew accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but asaccidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean
temperament.
It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original
characteristics.

User Temperament(User1/2)

User defined temperament created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

3-4 Layer Dynamics
When using Dual mode, sometimes simply adjusting the volume balance between the two layered sounds is notenough to create the desired sound character, especially if both sounds are very dynamic. Layering two equally
dynamic sounds can prove difficult to control and play comfortably.
The Layer Dynamics Function allows the dynamic sensitivity of the layered sound to be reduced, in order to improvethe blend between the two combined sounds. In addition to reducing the volume of the layered sound, limiting its
dynamic sensitivity also allows the layered sound to be controlled more easily in relation to the main sound.
