Preface
„ About this Owner’s Manual
Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Preparation Before Use section from page 10 of this owner’s manual.
This section explains the name and function of each part, how to connect the power cable, and how to turn on the power.

The Playing the Piano section (page 12) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, allowing
the KDP90 digital piano to be enjoyed almost immediately after being connected, while the Internal Songs section (page 17)
includes information regarding the built-in demonstration songs, Concert Magic songs, and Lesson function.

The Recorder section (page 26) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored in the instrument’s internal
memory, and the Settings section (page 28) details the settings that can be used to adjust a number of sound and keyboard
characteristics, as well as basic MIDI functionality.

Finally, the Appendix section (page 41) includes listings for all demo, Concert Magic, and Lesson function songs, a troubleshooting
guide, assembly instructions, MIDI reference information, and full specification details.

„ KDP90 Feature Highlights

Advanced Hammer Action IV-F weighted-key keyboard action

The Advanced Hammer Action IV-F (AHA IV-F) keyboard action has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of
an acoustic grand piano, with its remarkable springless design providing consistent upward and downward motion for
a smooth, natural, piano playing experience.

Moreover, just as acoustic pianos utilise heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the AHA IV-F keyboard action
also employs different hammer weights, appropriately graded for each playing range. Such attention to detail allows
greater stability during fortissimo passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even
the most discerning pianist.

Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling

The KDP90 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with
all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary
Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.

Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall are also
applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.

Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function

The KDP90 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and
played back at the touch of a button.

In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes
from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece
can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more difficult passages to be perfected.

Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the KDP90 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

„ Sustain pedal (right pedal)

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands
have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the
piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages. Soft pedal

The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling. Sostenuto pedal

between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes.

„ Pedal support bolt

If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt is
fully extended and supports the pedals firmly.

When moving the instrument, always adjust or

remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust
when the instrument is in its new position.

„ Caring for the pedals

If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.

„ Grand Feel pedal system

The KDP90 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal
weighting of Kawai’s EX Concert Grand piano.

Concert Magic song arrangement types
Concert Magic songs are divided into three different arrangement types: Easy Beat (EB), Melody Play (MP),
and Skillful (SK). Each arrangement type requires a different level of skill to be performed correctly.

„ Easy Beat EB
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant, steady beat on any key of the keyboard.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Für Elise’, a constant, steady rhythm should to be maintained throughout the song.

Key on: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

„ Melody Play MP
These songs are also relatively easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the
melody on any key of the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful.

Internal Songs
For example, when playing the piece ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’, the rhythm of the melody should be played.

* When performing fast Concert Magic songs, it may be easier to press different keys with two alternating fingers in order to achieve greater speed.

Key on: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

„ Skillful SK
These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and
the accompaniment notes on any key of the keyboard.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Waltz of the Flowers’, the rhythm of both the melody and the accompaniment should be
played.

Key on: X X X X X X X X X X X X X

1 Damper Resonance
Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely.
When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.

The KDP90 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the
volume of this resonance to be changed.

As with an acoustic piano, the KDP90 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with
force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation
to the strength and speed of playing - on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.

The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are four
different preset touch settings available.

„ Touch type

MIDI IN Receiving note, program change, and other data.
MIDI OUT Sending note, program change, and other data.

„ MIDI channels
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.

The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.

Transmitting instrument a Receiving instrument b Receiving instrument c

Transmitting instrument a sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments b/c.
The information arrives at the receiving instruments b/c.
Receiving instruments b/c will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of
the transmitting instrument a.
If the channels do not match, then the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent.

For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.
