Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CN33 digital piano!
This instrument combines the latest digital technologies with traditional piano craftsmanship, delivering a truly breathtaking
musical experience for amateur and professional pianists alike.The CN33’s rich, expressive tone has been created through
the meticulous recording of KAWAI’s hand-built concert grand pianos, and reproduced using unique Progressive Harmonic
Imaging™ sound technology. While the Responsive Hammer action features a realistic weight-graded keyboard with Ivory
Touch surfaces and authentic Let-off mechanism to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
The CN33 digital piano also features reverb and digital effects processors that create a richer, more authentic sound,
while the Lesson function helps budding performers to practice the piano using a selection of built-in etudes from Czerny
and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred’s Basic Piano Library and Alfred’s Premier Piano Course lesson books.
Finally, standard MIDI and USB-MIDI connectors are provided to allow communication with computers or other electronic
instruments, while recorded songs can also be stored on a USB memory device.
This owner’s manual contains useful information regarding the varied functions and capabilities of the CN33 digital piano.
Please read all sections carefully and keep this documentation handy for future reference.

This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider
than the other). This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
It is a good practice to have the instrument near the AC outlet and the power cord plug in a position
so that it can readily be disconnected in an emergency because electricity is always charging
while the plug is in the AC outlet even in a power switch off condition.

3. CONCERT MAGIC
The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike the
right keys at the right time”. Many pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have devised
a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CN33 digital piano and make real music - even complete
beginners who have never taken a piano lesson in their life.To enjoy performing with Concert Magic, simply select a
favorite piece from the 88 pre-programmed songs and tap any key with a steady rhythm and tempo. Concert Magic
will provide the correct melody and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys are pressed. With Concert
Magic anybody, young or old, can enjoy playing music from the moment they sit down at the CN33 digital piano.

Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any black or white key.
Concert Magic songs will respond to changes in playing style. As the keys are tapped harder, the music will grow
louder;if the keys are tapped more softly, the music will become quieter.Tapping faster will cause the music to speed
up, while tapping slower will make the music slow down accordingly. Using Concert Magic, even inexperienced
pianists can sound like they have been playing for years, simply by pressing one key with one finger.
Concert Magic is a perfect method for small children to learn music, especially when developing a sense of rhythm.
For older people who may believe it is too late to learn the piano, Concert Magic offers an enjoyable first step.

CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES
‘
After playing with Concert Magic for a while, performers may feel that such playing is too easy and that there is
very little to learn. While it is true that some of the songs are very easy to play, even for beginners, there are also
some songs which will prove challenging, and require practice to play proficiently.
Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs fall into one of three different arrangement types, depending on the skill level
required to perform them.
EASY BEAT
These are the easiest songs to play.To perform them, simply tap out a constant steady beat on any key on the keyboard.
Look at the following example, ‘Für Elise’. Press the key with a steady sixteenth note rhythm.

5. RECORDER
The RECORDER function records performances in a similar way to that of a tape recorder. However, the CN33
digital piano records songs as digital data, instead of audio data - storing the music inside the instrument. Because
each song is stored digitally, it is possible to modify various aspects during playback, such as adjusting the tempo
without changing the pitch, or selecting different sound types and effects settings. Once fully understood, the
recorder function provides an easy to use tool for both practicing and playing the piano.
1) RECORDING (REC BUTTON)
The CN33 digital piano allows up to three different songs to be recorded, stored in memory, and played back at
the touch of a button. Each song has two separate tracks called ‘Parts’ that can be recorded independently. This
allows the left-hand part to be recorded first on one track, then the right-hand part to be recorded later on the other
track, while listening to the first part.
When recording or playing back a song, each part (track) can be re-recorded or played back freely. Attempting to
re-record a part will automatically erase all previously recorded performance information for that part, therefore when
recording parts separately, it is most important to select the correct part carefully, in order to prevent accidentally
overwriting a previously recorded part.
The REC button is used for recording.
The SONG buttons and PART buttons correspond to the SOUND SELECT buttons.
Step 1
ꢀ
Press and hold the REC button, then select a SONG (1, 2 or 3) and PART number (1 or 2).

indicating the song and the part to be recorded.
During this time, the SONG and PART to be recorded can be changed freely by pressing the desired SONG
or PART button.
If no PART is selected PART1 will be selected automatically.
When the REC button is released, the LED indicators for the selected SONG and PART buttons will stop flashing
and the LED indicator for the REC button will turn on.This is the Standby state for recording. Furthermore, the LED
indicator for the SOUND SELECT button will also turn on, allowing the sound for recording to be changed.

to be inserted at the beginning of a song.
Step 3

Press the PLAY/STOP button to stop recording.
The LED indicators for the PLAY/STOP button and the REC button will turn off and the newly recorded part will
be saved to memory automatically.

presses also counted as one note.
„
When the maximum capacity is reached, recording will stop and all music recorded up until that point will be saved to
memory automatically.
5
Performance data stored inside the CN33 digital piano’s memory will be saved even after turning off the power.
It is possible to temporarily turn off (mute) a previously recorded part, for example PART1, before recording a new part,
for example PART2.This function can be useful to avoid distraction while recording.To mute PART1, hold the PLAY/STOP
button and press the PART1 button, the LED indicator for PART1 will turn off.

4) DAMPER EFFECT
When the damper pedal is depressed on an acoustic piano, all dampers are lifted up, allowing the strings to vibrate
freely. When a note or chord is played on the piano with the damper pedal depressed, not only will the strings of
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.The Damper Effect
function of the CN33 digital piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.

About string resonance
„
Even when the sustain pedal is not depressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for any notes held will be un-damped
and will resonate freely in sympathy with the strings of other notes that are played if they are part of the same harmonic
series. In addition, adjacent notes will also be resonated. The string resonance function simulates this phenomenon.
This is called “string resonance.”
For example, when you play the keys shown below while holding down the C key, the string of the C key resonates and
produces a sound.
(Quietly press and hold down the C key, and then quickly tap each of the keys shown below. It should be possible to hear
the string resonate.)

9) TEMPERAMENT
The CN33 digital piano offers immediate access to a variety of musical temperaments popular during the Renaissance
and Baroque periods. It may prove interesting and educational to experiment with different temperaments, other
than the modern ‘equal temperament’ standard this is dominant in music today.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF TEMPERAMENTS
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
(PIANO ONLY)
This is the default temperament. If a piano sound is selected the tuning is
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other type of
sound is selected the tuning will be EQUAL (FLAT). An explanation of EQUAL
TEMPERAMENT and EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT) is provided later in this
section.
If a piano sound is used in a layer with any other sound, then both sounds will
use the EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (stretched) tuning.
MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT
(MAJOR)
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still
popular for choral music because of its perfect harmony.
Performers must be aware which key they are playing in when using this
temperament.
MERSENNE PURE TEMPERAMENT
(MINOR)
Any key modulation will result in dissonances.When playing music in a particular
key, the key of the temperament must also be correctly matched.
When playing in a major key select Pure (Major) and when playing in a minor
key select Pure (minor).
PYTHAGOREAN TEMPERAMENT
MEANTONE TEMPERAMENT
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance
for fifths, is very limited for use with chords, but it produces very characteristic
melodic lines.
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 with the equal temperament.
WERCKMEISTER III TEMPERAMENT
KIRNBERGER III 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. It is used primarily for
classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
This is an‘unstretched’equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT (FLAT)
EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
semitones.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.
This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is
uneven and is not as accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is
with the middle range. This temperament’s tuning is stretched to compensate
for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. This ‘stretched’ equal
temperament is a practical variation of the ‘unstretched’ equal temperament
which was invented on a mathematical basis.

Kirnberger III
Werckmeister III
When the power is turned off, the temperament will reset to the factory default ‘equal temperament (piano only)’
type.
If a piano sound is selected when using the factory default ‘equal temperament (piano only)’ type, the tuning is
stretched like an acoustic piano (EQUAL TEMPERAMENT). If any other type of sound is selected, the tuning will
be EQUAL (FLAT).
After selecting the desired temperament, please read the following section on selecting a key signature for the temperament
before continuing.
„
KEY SIGNATURE OF TEMPERAMENT
‘
Limitless modulation of the key became available only after the invention of equal temperament. When using a
temperament other than equal temperament, care must be taken to choose the key signature to play in.For example,
if the song to be played is written in D major, ‘D’ would be chosen as the temperament key.
Step 1
ꢀ
Press one of the 88 piano keys to select the key signature of the temperament.
The note name of the key pressed will be shown in the display and chosen as the key of the temperament.
7
Changing the key of the temperament will only change the ‘balance’ of the tuning, the pitch of the keyboard will remain
unchanged. Use the TUNING or TRANSPOSE functions to change the pitch of the whole keyboard.
The key of the temperament function will have no effect when equal temperament is selected.

MIDI OVERVIEW
‘
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting
synthesizers, sequencers (MIDI recorders) and other electronic instruments so that they can exchange
performance data.
The CN33 is equipped with two MIDI jacks for exchanging data: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Each uses a special
cable with a DIN connector.
MIDI IN : For receiving note, program change and other data.
MIDI OUT : For sending note, program change and other data.
„
„
MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices.There are receive (MIDI IN) and
transmit (MIDI OUT) channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with
both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capable of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI.
The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and the transmit channels are used
to transmit data to another MIDI device.
Connection to an external sequencer
„
When connected as shown in the illustration below, songs played on the CN33 can be recorded using a MIDI
recorder, with internal sounds (such as piano, harpsichord and vibraphone, etc.) controlled by the CN33’s
MULTITIMBRAL MODE function to create a multi-layer MIDI recording.

These jacks are used to connect external MIDI devices with the CN33 digital piano.
There are two terminals: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT.
USB JACK
This jack is used to connect with a personal computer and exchange MIDI data.
When the CN33 digital piano is connected to a computer via a commercially available USB cable, the CN33 digital
piano will be recognized as a MIDI device.
As with a regular MIDI interface, the CN33 digital piano will be able to transmit and receive MIDI messages.
There are A USB port and B USB port. Connect a computer to the A port and digital piano to the B port.
LINE OUT JACKS
3
4
These jacks provide stereo output of the piano’s sound to amplifiers, tape recorders or similar equipment.
The audio signal coming through the LINE IN jacks is also routed to these jacks. The piano’s sound is mixed with
the LINE IN signals.
The CN33 digital piano’s MASTER VOLUME slider can control the output level of its own sound while it does not
control the LINE IN signal.
8
LINE IN JACKS
These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs from other audio equipment or electronic instruments to
the piano’s speakers.
The audio signal coming through these jacks bypasses the piano’s volume control.To adjust the volume level, use
the output control of the external device.
