Damper Effect - Kawai CA18 Owner's Manual

5) 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 CA18 digital piano attempts to simulate this phenomenon.
Step 1
Press and hold the DEMO and METRONOME buttons simultaneously, then press the key assigned to the
DAMPER EFFECT function.
Step 2
While still holding down the DEMO and METRONOME buttons,

The DAMPER EFFECT function is automatically activated when
the CA18 digital piano is turned on.
Step 3

simultaneously, press the key assigned to the DAMPER EFFECT function, and then press the '+ (on)' or
