6 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CA-X
Quick Start
Now try playing the keyboard.
You will hear the CA’s main piano sound.
The CA piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play it. It
produces a louder sound when you play hard and a softer sound when
you play soft. The volume level changes in relation to how fast the keys
are pressed. This system is called “touch sensitivity” on an electronic
musical instrument. The initial touch sensitivity setting has been adjusted
to the standard of an acoustic piano. You can however, select a different
type of touch sensitivity on the CA piano if you are not comfortable with
the standard setting. For more detail, please read “5.1 Selecting the
Touch Sensitivity (TOUCH Button) ” on page 22.

You have already heard the CA’s main piano sound. The CA-X has a total
of 40 sounds, not only different types of piano sounds but different
instruments as well.
The different instrument sounds built into CA piano are called “preset
sounds ”.
All of the preset sounds have been created through advanced digital
sampling technology achieving as natural and realistic sound as possible.
Let’s try some of the preset sounds.
SELECTING ANOTHER PRESET SOUND
Press the SOUND SELECT button under the name of the
instrument you would like to listen to. When the button is pressed,
the LED indicator will be turned on to indicate that this sound is selected.
The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with four preset sounds to
select. To select the other sounds, press the button repeatedly.
When a SOUND SELECT button is pressed, the variation number is briefly
shown in the display. Pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again
will select the next variation sound assigned to the SOUND SELECT
button.
You can also select any preset sounds by using the VALUE buttons.
