Ref. “Speaker Volume” P. 66.

Preparation

Using Headphones
Using headphones
Use the jacks located beneath the keyboard on the left hand side
to connect stereo headphones to the CA99/CA79 digital piano.
1/4” and 1/8” connectors are provided for convenience.
Two pairs of headphones can be connected and usedsimultaneously.

Checking the connection of the headphones
The headphones icon will appear in the status bar of thetouchscreen display.

Headphones icon

Attaching the headphone hook (optional)
A headphone hook is included with the CA99/CA79 digital pianoand can be used to hang headphones when not in use.
If desired, attach the headphone hook to the underside of the
keyboard as shown in the illustration.

Do not attempt to place heavy items onto theheadphone hook.
Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

14

Using Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CA99/CA79 digital piano features three pedals: damper, sostenuto, and soft.
 Damper pedal (right pedal)
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 damper pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Damper pedal

 Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
The soft pedal is also capable of responding to half pedaling.

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.

Preparation

 Soft pedal (left pedal)

 Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached to 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 proper 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 CA99/CA79 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the position and individual weighting of thedamper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of thedamper pedal, and the effectiveness of the soft pedal using the “Half-Pedal Adjust” and “Soft Pedal Depth” settings.

The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength and velocity 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 ten different preset touch
curve settings available.
The default “Normal” setting is designed to accurately recreate the touch of a Kawai concert grand piano. However, if the keyboard
feels too light, or fortissimo playing is achieved too easily, it may be desirable to select a heavier touch curve. Alternatively, if the
keyboard feels too heavy, or fortissimo playing is too difficult to achieve, it may be desirable to select a lighter touch curve.

TypeLight (4/3/2/1)
NormalHeavy (1/2/3/4)

Description
Light touch curves require less striking force to achieve a forte note, and are therefore recommended forplayers with a delicate touch. The key touch will become progressively lighter as the number increases.
Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano.
Heavy touch curves require more striking force in order to achieve a forte, and are therefore
recommended for players with stronger fingers. The key touch will become progressively heavier as thenumber increases.
A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.

Tap(2) VoicingOn an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all influence on the tonal character of the instrument’s sound.
Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulate these hammer felts, with the ultimate goal ofachieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard.
The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the digital piano to be adjusted. There
are six different preset voicing settings available (applied uniformly to all keys).
While the default “Normal” voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may be desirable to select asofter, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive tone for modern styles.

While the fundamental sound of an acoustic piano is produced by vibrating strings, transmitting energy through a spruce soundboard,the cabinet of the instrument itself also contributes a variety of subtle tonal characteristics that enrich the playing and listening
experience. The keybed, inner and outer rim, iron plate, and beams all play a role in disseminating sound energy, which in turn gives
the piano a living, breathing quality.

Tap(18) Temperament

The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the digital piano to be changed from the modern “Equal Temperament”
standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Temperament type

Description

Equal Temperament(Equal)This temperament is the most popular tuning method, and divides the scale into twelve equalsemi-tones. 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.

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.

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 Temperament(Werckmeister)
Kirnberger 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.

phones, tablets, computers, or other electronic audio equipment
to the CA99/CA79 digital piano’s amplifier and speakers. The
input level can be adjusted using the LEVEL knob, or by adjusting
the volume of the connected device.

These jacks are used to connect the stereo output of the CA99/
CA79 digital piano’s sound to external speakers, amplifiers,
mixers, recording devices, and similar equipment.

When using the USB audio recorder function, this LINE in audio
will also be mixed with the instrument’s internal sound andrecorded to the MP3/WAV file.

To output a mono signal, connect a single cable to the L/MONO
jack.
The LINE OUT level can be adjusted using the MASTER VOLUME
slider.

Ref. “Line In Volume” P. 68

 USB to Host port (“B” type) MIDI IN/OUT jacks

This USB port is used to connect the CA99/CA79 digital piano to
a computer using an inexpensive USB cable. When connected,
the instrument can be used as a standard MIDI device, allowing it
to send a receive MIDI data. Connect a “B” type USB connector to
the instrument, and an “A” type USB connector to the computer.

These jacks are used to connect the CA99/CA79 digital piano
to external MIDI devices, or to a computer (using a USB-MIDI
interface) as an alternative to the “USB to Host” port.
Ref. “MIDI” P. 72

Ref. “USB MIDI information” P. 84

With additional conversion adaptors, this port may also be used
to connect the CA99/CA79 digital piano to tablets and othermobile devices.

Headphone Panel PHONES jacks (1/4” & 1/8” phone jacks)

 USB to Device port (“A” type)

These jacks are used to connect stereo headphones to the CA99/
CA79 digital piano. Two pairs of headphones can be connected
and used simultaneously. When a pair of headphones isconnected, sound will not be produced by the speakers.

This USB port is used to connect a USB memory device to theCA99/CA79 digital piano. This allows MP3/WAV audio files, and
SMF song files to be played directly. It is also possible to record
performances to MP3/WAV audio files, and save recorder songs
stored in internal memory for posterity.
* Only connect USB memory devices to the USB to Device port.
* Connect the USB memory device directly, without using a USB
extension cable.

 The “USB to Device” functionality of the CA99/CA79 digital
piano conforms to USB2.0 Hi-Speed standards. Older USB
devices can still be used, however data transfer speed will belimited to the maximum transfer speed of the device.

 The “USB to Device” port is intended for connecting USB
memory devices, however USB floppy drive devices can also
be used to save recorder songs stored in internal memory, orplay SMF song files.

Appendix
