1 Feature Highlights
The best keyboard action available in a stage piano

Introduction

The MP11SE utilises Kawai’s highly-regarded Grand Feel wooden-key keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic
piano craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience.
As with a grand piano, all eighty-eight black and white keys are crafted from long pieces of wood, pivoting on a central balance
pin in a smooth, seesaw-like motion. The Grand Feel keys are longer than any other digital piano keyboard action, with the pivot
point distance extended to match that of a Kawai grand piano. When the front of a key is pressed down, the rear rises, throwing ahammer which plays the note. These hammers are graded in size and weight, replicating the heavier bass and lighter treble notesof an acoustic grand piano, while additional counter-weights embedded within the lower keys help to lighten their touch duringpianissimo passages. The Grand Feel keyboard action even reproduces the subtle let-off sensation felt when playing the keys of a
grand piano very softly, satisfying the expectations of even the most discerning pianists.
Finally, the Grand Feel keyboard action features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces as standard. This finely textured material gently
absorbs moisture to assist playing control, and possesses a natural, matte finish that is smooth, but not slippery.

PIANO section: The ultimate pianos for Concert, Pop, and Jazz
The MP11SE captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s SK-EX, EX, and SK-5 acoustic grand pianos, with all 88 keys of these exceptional
instruments meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This
unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinarylevel of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.
With separate categories for Concert, Pop, and Jazz playing, the MP11SE offers the finest selection of high quality acoustic pianosounds ever compiled for a Kawai instrument, with a separate 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.

E.PIANO section: Vintage EPs, twin effects, and amp simulation
The MP11SE features a selection of incredible vintage electric piano sounds, each with their own distinctive characteristics. Enjoy
their natural, organic sound, or pass the signal through a wide variety of classic effects stomp boxes, before plugging into one of
the five classic amp and speaker cabinets – complete with realistic microphone character and position modelling.

SUB section: High quality strings, pads, basses and more
The MP11SE’s SUB section features high quality strings, pads, basses, and other useful sounds that are ideal for creating splits andcustom zones, layering with acoustic or electric pianos, or for playing individually, at the front of the mix. Additional Bell, Air, andVoice layers bring greater depth to the sound, with flexible ADSR parameters and resonance/cut-off controls all adjustable directlyfrom the panel’s assignable control knobs.

MIDI OUT section: Four zone master keyboard controller
The MP11SE features a new, improved MIDI OUT section with four independent zones for controlling external devices, or
integrating into the studio as a master keyboard. Use the assignable panel knobs to send CC# to connected hardware, or therecorder transport buttons to control a DAW without touching a mouse or leaving the piano. The MP11SE even includes LINE IN
jacks and a dedicated panel fader to adjust the level of connected devices, such as that old expander module or semi-weighted
synth that you just can’t live without, or a laptop running software instruments.

Intuitive operation, large LCD, real-time assignable control knobs
The MP11SE’s control panel is clearly arranged and easy to use, with related functions grouped together and placed where you’d
expect to find them. A large LCD display and four assignable control knobs, allow several parameters to be adjusted directly inreal-time, without getting lost in menus – concentrate on playing, rather than trying to remember which button does what.

10208 Setup memories: enough for the busiest stage musician

Introduction

The MP11SE allows every single customised sound, knob position, fader level, and adjustable parameter to be stored in memory asa SETUP, and recalled at the touch of a button. With over 200 SETUP memories, the MP11SE 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 file recording and playback
The MP11SE 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 files, allowing performing musicians toplay 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 files for emailing to band members, casual listening away from the keyboard, or further
editing using an audio workstation.

Understanding the MP11SE
 Preparation before use
The MP11SE does not feature built-in speakers. Therefore, in order to listen to the MP11SE, it will first be necessary to connect a mixer,
keyboard amplifier, or headphones to the instrument.

Introduction

Once connected to an audio output device, press the POWER SWITCH located on the right of the rear panel to turn on the MP11SE.
It is recommended to turn on the MP11SE before the audio output device in order to avoid the unpleasant switching noise that cansometimes occur.

 MP11SE section structure: explanation
The MP11SE features 3 internal sound sections: PIANO, E.PIANO, and SUB. Each section features a dedicated VOLUME fader and canbe turned ON or OFF freely.
The PIANO, E.PIANO, and SUB sections share largely the same operation, with 4 category buttons and multiple sounds assigned toeach category. The PIANO and SUB sound sections each feature one EFX module, while the E.PIANO section offers two separate
EFX modules and an additional AMP simulator. All sounds can be adjusted using the various parameters in the EDIT menu, withadditional ‘Feature Parameters’ that are specific to each of the three sound sections.
The MP11SE’s external (MIDI) functionality is divided into four independently controlled zones. As with the internal sound sections,various EDIT menu parameters are available to define transmit/receive channels, MMC features, keyboard ranges, and knob
assignments etc.
REVERB settings are common for all internal sections, however the DEPTH can be controlled independently for each section.
The MP11SE’s EQ is also common for all internal sections, however parameters in the EDIT menu allow the tonal character for eachsection’s sound to be adjusted independently.
Modifications to each sound can be stored as individual SOUND presets, while the entire configuration of the MP11SE itself can be
stored in one of the 208 SETUP memories.
As noted previously, the master VOLUME fader does not affect the FIXED OUTPUT jacks, but does affect the (normal) OUTPUT jacks.
This allows audio engineers to control the level of the instrument at the mixing desk, while still allowing performers to adjust thevolume of their monitor speakers freely.

Example: To select the Jazz Grand sound, press the
JAZZ category button, then the 2nd variation button.

Experiment with selecting different categories and variations,playing the keyboard each time to hear the unique tonal
characteristics of every sound.

 Adjusting the section volume
Use the VOLUME fader below each section’s ON/OFF button toadjust the volume of the section.
The volume of the section will increase or decrease
independently of the other sound sections.
* When playing with just a single section (e.g. PIANO), it is recommended to
set the VOLUME fader to the maximum position.

To adjust the volume of all sound sections simultaneously, use
the MASTER VOLUME fader (page 12).

User Temperament(Sys.User1/2)

Description
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 inpure consonance.
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths 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 fifths, is very limited foruse with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonancefor 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 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 defined temperament created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

Overview of the EDIT Menu (MIDI OUT)
The EDIT menu can also be used to adjust parameters for the MIDI OUT section. As with the sound section EDIT
menus, the parameters are grouped by category, providing direct control over any connected MIDI devices.
This collection of parameters, together with other adjustable settings, can be stored as a SETUP memory (page61). The MP11SE provides 26 banks x 8 setups, for a total of 208 user programmable SETUP memories.

 About Common parameters ( icon)
Unless stated, parameter settings for the MIDI OUT sections can be adjusted independent for each ZONE1~ZONE4.
However, parameters marked with a icon are common for all four MIDI zones. For example, changing the Right Pedal Assign
parameter for ZONE1 will automatically change the Right Pedal Assign parameter for ZONE2~ZONE4.
As noted previously, the Split Point parameter is unique in that it is common for all three sound sections and four MIDI zones.

AppendixSoundTroubleshooting
Strange sounds or noises are heard
when playing with piano sounds.

The keyboard has no touch
responsiveness.

The MP11SE stagel piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones
created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This includes
various resonances, noises, and other subtle characteristics that contribute tothe overall piano playing experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of the
instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the effects
altogether using the following settings in the Virtual Technician menu.
The noise occurs when the damper pedal is depressed and released.
Damper Noise50

The noise occurs after a key is released.
Fall-back Noise, Key-off Effect

50,
51

The sound has a metallic characteristic.
Key-off Effect, Undamped Resonance, String Resonance50

The sound is muffled or too bright.
Topboard, Voicing, Brilliance

Check that the Dynamics parameter in the EDIT menu is not set to Off.

45

STORE

Page

OctaveShift cannot be stored to a
SOUND memory.

This is the correct behaviour. Some parameters related to the Key
Range function (KeyRangeType, SplitPoint, KeyRangeLo/Hi, OctaveShift,
ZoneTranspose) are not stored to SOUND memory, but to SETUP only.

The POWER ON default setting isdifferent to the setting that it isstored.

The POWER ON memory will only store the selected SOUND position, not theindividual EDIT menu settings of that SOUND.
In order to memorise EDIT menu settings, please store each section’s sound to
the SOUND memory.

60,
62

The metronome click/rhythm
pattern does not change when the
SETUP is selected.

Please store preferred metronome click/rhythm pattern settings to SETUP
memory.
However, please note that if the metronome click or rhythm pattern is running
while a SETUP is selected, the metronome settings will not change.

Appendix

Pedal, Controller

Page

Pedals or wheels don’t work.

Check that the controller is not set to Off in the EDIT:Controllers menu.

47,
57

The Modulation Depth Range
parameter has no effect.

Check that the modulation wheel function is set to ‘Modulation’ in the EDIT
menu. If not, the Modulation Depth Range parameter will have no effect.

47

The foot switch does not turn off
after releasing the pedal.

Check that the foot switch pedal is a ‘Normal Closed’ polarity type. If usinga ‘Normal Open’ polarity type, please set the FSW Polarity setting in the
SYSTEM:Pedal/Mod. menu to Reverse.

The expression pedal does not work Please check that the expression pedal’s TRS connector type is set correctly,
using the EXP TYPE switch on the rear jack pack.
and a malfunction occurs with the
MP11SE.

114

17

The top 18 notes of the
keyboard sustain for longer thanneighbouring notes, even when thedamper pedal is not pressed.

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the undamped notes(typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic grand piano.

The sound continues to sustain
after the damper pedal is released
and re-pressed.

This is the correct behaviour, and reproduces the ability to sustain notes whenquickly re-pressing the damper pedal of an acoustic grand piano.

Line InPage

The volume of the device
connected to the Line In jacks is too
low/too high (distorted).

Check the position of the LINE IN fader, and adjust as necessary.

12

The adjustable range of the LINE IN
fader is too narrow.

Adjust the Input Level in the SYSTEM:Utility menu.

101

MIDI

Page

The MP11SE’s Song Recorder(Internal Memory) cannot record
the MIDI section.

Check that the TransmitRecorder parameter in the EDIT:Transit menu is set toOn. By default, this parameter is set to Off.

55

MMC cannot control the external
device.

Check that the Transmit MMC parameter in the EDIT:MMC menu is set to On. Bydefault, this parameter is set to Off.

55

Check that the MMC device ID is set correctly, and matches the external device’s
ID. If thedigignate is not necessary, please set to 127 (default, All).

55

Check the external device’s owner’s manual to ensure that MMC messages arerecognised.
Check that the external device’s MIDI clock is not set to External. The MP11SE
does not send MTC (MIDI Time Code) or MIDI Clock data, therefore the external
device should be set to use its own internal clock.
The damper pedal is not released
when playing MIDI data.

If the damper pedal off/on events of the MIDI data are extremely short, thereis the possibility that the MP11SE’s piano sound sustains continuously. This isdue to the MP11SE reproducing the ability to release and quickly re-press thedamper pedal of an acoustic grand piano.

When Receive Mode is set toSection, received MIDI notes
continue to play, even when thesound section is turned off.

This is the correct behaviour, as the section ON/OFF buttons are only intended
to connect/discconect the MP11SE’s keyboard from the internal tone generator.

20,
104

This allows the MP11SE’s sounds to be triggered externally, without being
played by the instrument’s keyboard. For example, external MIDI keyboard
controlling bass sound in SUB section, while the full MP11SE keyboard is used
for the PIANO section.

115

Appendix

1. Select desired piano sound in the PIANO section and bass sound in the SUB
section.
2. Turn of the SUB section using the ON/OFF button.
3. Set SYSTEM:MIDI Receive Mode to ‘Section’, SUB Ch=03.
4. Set the MIDI transmit channel to 3 for the external MIDI keyboard.

Troubleshooting
USB to HOST
The instrument is connected tothe computer using a USB cable,
however the software does not
respond to key presses.

Page
Check that a USB MIDI driver is installed on the computer.

117

Check that ‘USB Audio Device’ or ‘KAWAI USB MIDI’ is selected in the software’s
input/output device settings.

117

USB to DEVICEA USB memory device is notdetected, cannot be saved to, or
does not appear to function whenconnected to the ‘USB to Device’
port.

Page
Check that the USB memory device is formatted to use the FAT/FAT32
filesystem, and not set to ‘Write Protect’ mode.

16

Disconnect the USB memory device, turn the instrument off then on, thenreconnect the USB device. If the USB device still does not function, it may bedamaged or incompatible. Please try using a different USB device.
Ensure that the USB memory device is not a wireless flash drive. Such devices
are not compatible with the MP11SE.

The instrument pauses briefly whenconnecting a USB memory device.

This is recognised behaviour when using large capacity (e.g. 8GB+) USB
memory devices.

The current SOUND/SETUP setting
is not stored correctly when saved
to a USB memory device.

Ensure that the desired SOUND/SETUP setting has first been stored to internal
memory before being saved to a USB memory device.

MP3/WAV Audio, SMF

60,
61,
95,

Page

No sound can be heard whenplaying an MP3/WAV audio filestored on a USB memory device.

Check that the audio player volume is not set to 0.

79

Check that the format of the audio file is supported and listed in the ‘Audio
Player supported format specifications’ table.

78

An MP3/WAV audio file stored
on a USB memory device sounds
strange, or does not play backcorrectly.

Check that the format of the audio file is supported and listed in the ‘Audio
Player supported format specifications’ table.

78

An SMF (Standard MIDI file) sounds
strange when played back or someparts don’t playback.

The MP11SE loads SMF files into the instrument’s Song Recorder (internal
memory), which only supports one track + drum track. MIDI data that requires
miltiple tracks may therefore not playback correctly.

The file transfer speed of the USB memory device may be too slow to play theaudio file. Please try using a different USB memory device, ensuring that itconforms to USB2.0 Hi-Speed standards.
94

When saving Song Recorder (internal memory) SMF files, the MP11SE includes
additional system exclusive data for selecting sounds.
The SMF file may therefore sound different when played back on devices otherthan the MP11SE.
The program change messages cannot be loaded into the MP11SE’s Song
Recorder (internal memory).

Appendix

When recording MP3/WAV audio
files, the volume is too low/too high(distorted).

116

If an SMF file that does not include the MP11SE’s additional setup information isloaded in to the Song Recorder (internal memory) the current sound’s setting
will be used. This can be checked by using the ‘Listen’ button before loading
the SMF file.

94

Adjust the ‘Audio Recorder Gain’ setting in the SYSTEM:Utility menu.

76
