The CN31 keyboard provides the touch response and full dynamic range required for a superb performance of piano, harpsichord, organ, and other instruments. The CN31's Lesson function helps performers to practice the piano with a collection of etudes from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from Alfred's Basic Piano Library and Alfred's Premiere Piano Course lesson books (USA, Canada, Australia and UK only). [. . . ] The TRANSPOSE function remembers the current setting as long as the power is on. Transpose is active when the LED indicator is on, and the notes are transposed according to the set transpose value. For example if the setting is `-3' and the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button is on, the notes will be transposed 3 half steps lower. When the LED indicator for the TRANSPOSE button is turned OFF, the transpose setting will automatically return to `0' (no transposition) with one touch. When the value is set to `0', the LED indicator will not turn on. The CN31 piano's transpose setting defaults to `0' each time the power is turned on. Page 21 8) PLAYING WITH 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 CN 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 CN piano. PLAYING THE PIANO 2 SELECTING A SONG The 88 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 keys, and classified by song category into eight groups, such as Children's Songs, American Classics, Christmas Songs etc. Please refer to the separate 'Internal Song List' booklet for a complete listing of available Concert Magic songs. Step1 Song No. To select a song, press and hold the CONCERT MAGIC button and press the key to which the desired song is assigned. The song number will be briefly shown in the display. Hold down the button. LISTENING TO THE SONG If the performer is already familiar with the selected Concert Magic song, he/she may wish to begin playing straight away. However, those unfamiliar with the piece may alternatively wish to listen to the song first, before attempting to play it. Step1 To listen, press the PLAY/ STOP button. The CN piano will start playing back the selected song. The speed or tempo of the song can be adjusted by pressing and holding the TEMPO button and pressing the VALUE buttons. Song No. Button lights Hold down the button. While listening, different Concert Magic songs can be selected by pressing the VALUE buttons. Step2 Press the PLAY/STOP button again to finish listening to the song. Page 22 PERFORMING A SONG Step1 Tap out the rhythm of the selected song on any one of the piano's 88 black or white keys. PLAYING THE PIANO 2 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.
