CP SERIES
The Ultimate Musical Experience
Never before has there been a musical instrument like the Kawai
Concert Performer – an instrument of such beauty, power and
wonderful sound... and the world's first ensemble pianos with
CD-RW and DVD technology. Cutting edge technology
blends with eighty years of piano building
experience to create an instrument with
dozens of innovative features
and intuitive operation.
The Concert Performer...
truly the ultimate
musical experience.
Exceptional SoundsConcert Performer Ensembles feature hundreds of exceptional instrumental and vocal
sounds. Sounds are organized into instrument "families" for easy access via the sound
category buttons. The Feature sound category is a special collection of solo instruments
played by some of the world's finest musicians. The Vocal sound category contains dozens
of real vocal sounds in a variety Pop music stylings, along with Jazz and Classical choirs.
Exciting Accompaniment StylesConcert Performer instruments offer many exciting, professionally arranged Accompaniment
Styles designed to help your music sound more complete. Styles are organized into musical
"genres" for easy access via the Style category buttons. No matter what your skill level
may be, you're sure to find a perfect selection among the many Full, Intimate, Solo Piano,
Vocal and Guitar styles.
Built-in Piano MusicSelected Concert Performer models contain built-in Piano Music - over seven hours on top
models. Select from Classical, Contemporary, Evening Out, and Holiday music categories -
perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing alone. You can even create a list of your favorite
selections in each category.
Microphone InputMost CP models feature a Microphone Input. Simply plug in a standard mic and your
singing will be heard through the instrument's sound system. Built-in MIC Harmonies can
make you sound like a vocal duo, trio, or quartet. Reverb and Echo will add a professional
touch, or just have some fun with some of the weird and wacky MIC Effects.
Advanced Features...Harmonic Imaging Sound Technology
The key to the Concert Performer's exceptional sound quality is Kawai's proprietary Harmonic
Imaging technology. Using state-of-the-art digital equipment, Kawai's sound engineers
painstakingly recorded hundreds of sounds for the CP series. For the piano sound, Kawai's
nine-foot EX Concert Piano was recorded in the anechoic chamber of our advanced Grand
Piano Research Facility in Japan. During this process, sound engineers meticulously mapped
the unique harmonic structure of each dynamic level of this exquisite piano.
Next, software engineers developed a new process called Harmonic Imaging capable of
recreating the rich, vibrant sound of the EX Concert Piano... from thunderous fortissimos to
the most delicate pianissimos. Thanks to this revolutionary process, each Concert Performer
instrument contains a remarkable recreation of not only Kawai's concert grand piano, but
of hundreds of other instrumental and vocal sounds as well.
The True Touch of a Piano
The CP207D, CP177D, and CP137 models all feature our award-winning AWA PRO keyboard action.
Utilizing long wooden keys, this action recreates both the weight and movement of our grand
piano actions. Accurate key balance points, hammer movements and contact placements
combine with proper hammer grading and bass key counterbalancing to produce an amazingly
authentic piano feel that is unsurpassed.
The CP187 model uses our acclaimed AHAIV keyboard action. This action uses hammers whose
weights have been "graded" to match the feel of our acoustic pianos. The AHAIV action delivers
an ultra-responsive feel certain to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning player.
Built-In CD Recording
The Concert Performer series are the world's only line of ensemble pianos that can record
audio CDs right on board. On CD equipped models you can record your "live" playing,
pre-recorded internal songs and MIDI files (SMFs). You can also record vocals via the MIC input.
External instruments and audio devices can be recorded via line inputs on selected models.
Your recorded CD can be played on any standard CD player or computer. You can even make
copies of your CD masterpiece (via computer) to share with family and friends. The Concert
Performer's CD drive can also play commercially produced CD's from your favorite artists,
as well as those from famous music publishers such as Alfred Publishing, Hal Leonard, and
Music Minus One*.
DVD Playback
The CP207D and CP177D models can also play DVD's from their CD drive. Simply attach a TV or monitor to the
video out jack to view the DVD video while listening to the audio through the Concert Performer's sound
system. You can operate the CP normally and even play along with the DVD!
DVD playback can be an invaluable learning tool by following along to the Concert Performer DVD Owner’s
Manual, or by watching any of the dozens of educational DVD's from Alfred, Hal Leonard, and other publishers.
You can even turn your Concert Performer into a Karaoke party machine with karaoke DVD's from Pocket Songs*.
Concert Magic
For every piano player, there are many more of us who wish we could play. Kawai's amazing Concert Magic
feature allows anyone to experience the thrill of playing real music ... even if you've never played before!
Simply select one of the well-known Concert Magic songs and tap any key. It's that easy! You'll be playing
and amazing your friends in no time. Select the lyrics display and soon everyone will be singing along!
