Virtual Technician
A piano technician plays a very important role for an acoustic piano to
be in the best playing condition for a piano player. Virtual Technician
does the same work digitally. You will find Virtual Voicing, Sympathetic
Resonance, Touch Curves and Tuning Temperaments.
User memory
You can easily customize your Concert Artist piano's initial settings.
Choose a new starting instrument, favourite effect, touch curve, etc.
Once you have the piano memorize it, you don't have to go through many
buttons every time you turn the power on.
Dual and split modes
When you layer two sounds (Dual) or use different sounds on the left and
right (Split), the balance slider is convenient for quick and easy
adjustment of the two sounds' balance.
Digital amplifier
For the first time our new digital amplifier is used in the models CA9
and CA7. This stands out through an very clear and pure sound and highly
operational safety. Kawai is the first manufacturer who use digital
amplification for musical instruments.
MIDI and USB
The Concert Artist pianos feature complete MIDI implementation,
including 16-channel multi-timbral operation and controller keyboard
function. Expand your musical fun by connecting with MIDI recorder or
other external MIDI devices.
The built-in USB interface allows for direct connection to a desktop or
laptop personal computer. Enter the world of computer music and the
Internet through one simple connection.

Sound
The authentic piano sound of Concert Artist digital piano started with
the world's finest concert grand piano, the Kawai EX. We recorded the
exceptionally rich sound in the "anechoic chamber" at our advanced piano
research facility. Our engineers then analysed the unique harmonic
structure of the EX and created an extremely accurate sound map for each
key across the entire dynamic range. Finally, our engineers and piano
technicians worked together to reproduce the excellent sound of the EX
concert grand piano. The sound data was digitally tuned and voiced by
the ears of our proud piano craftsman. The result is a new level of
authenticity in the art of digital piano.
Keyboard
As one of the world's premier builders of acoustic pianos, Kawai has
long understood the vital importance of "feel" to the pianist. For this
reason, Kawai has been a pioneer in the use of real wooden keys in our
digital pianos. The CA5, CA7 & CA9 feature our new AWA Grand PRO action.
As acoustic piano has heavier hammers in bass section and lighter
hammers in treble section, AWA Grand PRO uses different hammer weights
appropriate for each playing zone.
In addition, the lower keys have counter weights for better control when
playing very soft. AWA Grand PRO is designed faithfully simulating the
grand piano action. The long wooden key stick is supported by a balance
pin with bushing cloth. The front bottom of the key stick touches the
front felt with its face. These structures are same as the ones found in
acoustic grand pianos. It's easy to forget that you are playing a
digital piano with the excellence of AWA Grand PRO action with real
wooden keys.
Touch
Previously, when the normal touch curve didn't fit your playing style,
the only solution was to choose one of the different touch curve presets
in the piano. With the NEW User Touch Curve feature, you can CREATE your
own touch curve. In User Touch Curve mode, you are asked to play
dynamically from soft to loud to input your playing style. Then the
piano analyses the data and creates the perfect touch curve specially
made for you.Reverb and
Effects
Five distinct reverb types simulate listening environments from private
practice rooms to concert halls. Two special reverbs produce a 3D
effect, surrounding you with sound from all directions. Digital sound
effects such as delays (three types), Chorus, Tremolo and Rotary
Speakers (two types) add to the remarkable realism of the Concert Artist
sounds.
Metronome and drum rhythms
In addition to the standard metronome click you can choose from 100 drum
rhythms for your convenience. Play along with a complete drum set. You
can load various rhythms and change their tempo. Never before was practising so much fun.
3 PEDALS
3 pedals in a pedal board allow you
simulating fine acoustic piano playing.
3 years manufacturer's Guarantee.

delivery. |
