| The Advanced Hammer Action IV-F keyboard
has been developed to represent the distinctive touch of a
traditional grand piano, with its remarkable springless
design providing consistent upward and downward motion for a
smooth, more natural, piano playing experience. Moreover, just as acoustic pianos utilise
heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers, the AHA
IV-F keyboard 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.
|
The new CN Series 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 the very latest Progressive Harmonic Imaging™
technology. This unique process accurately recreates
the broad dynamic range of the original piano, offering even
greater tonal detail than the existing Harmonic Imaging™
standard, while also providing the source for a selection of
additional high-quality instrument sounds. Finally, reverb
and damper effects are applied, delivering rich tones with
breathtaking realism and authenticity.
|
The superior polyphony specifications of
the CN Series maintain KAWAI’s position as a market leader,
allowing complex passages that require the damper pedal, to
be enjoyed without unexpected instances of note ‘drop off’. An intuitive recording function is also
featured as standard across the CN Series range, with the
USB to Device facility of the flagship CN42 allowing
performances to be conveniently saved to USB flash memory
devices. With over 300 exceptional instrument sounds and a
total of 9 authentic drum kits (GM2 compatibility), it is
even possible to create and playback Standard MIDI Files (SMF)
using the powerful 16 track sequencer.
|
The convenient lesson feature allows
aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in
collection of songs from the popular Alfred Basic, Adult and
Premier course books. The left and right hand parts of each
piece can be practiced separately, adjusting the tempo to
perfect difficult passages, before being recorded and played
back for self-evaluation. In addition to these impressive internal
features, considerable attention has also been paid to the
external appearance of the CN Series, with traditionally
styled cabinet accents, rounded leg and toe-block
treatments, and beautiful Premium finishes combining to lend
distinctive character to each exceptional instrument.
