Playing With Concert Magic; Selecting A Song - Kawai CA91 Owner's Manual

6. 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 people wish it were that simple. The reality is very different of course. However, there is a way to make
playing the keyboard very simple. You don't even have to strike the right keys thanks to Concert Magic.
With CONCERT MAGIC, absolutely anyone can sit at the CA piano and make real music... even if you've never
taken a piano lesson in your life.
To enjoy performing by yourself, you have only to select your favorite piece from 176 preprogrammed songs and
tap any of the 88 piano keys with a steady rhythm and tempo. CONCERT MAGIC will provide the correct melo-
dy and accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Anybody, young or old, can enjoy CONCERT
MAGIC from the moment they sit down at the CA piano.
Now let's see how CONCERT MAGIC works.

1) Selecting a Song

The 176 Concert Magic songs are assigned to each of the 88 piano keys, two songs for each key. There are two
banks of songs, Bank A and Bank B. Each bank contains 88 songs. (CA51 has only Bank A.)
The songs are also classifi ed in eight groups by song category such as Children's Songs, American Classics,
and Christmas Songs.
All of the song titles are listed in separate volume "Internal Song Lists." To make it easier to fi nd which song is
assigned to which key, there is a key strip that can be placed between the end of black keys and the front panel.
The key strip indicates song categories, and note names.
Step 1
To select a song, press the key to which your desired song is assigned while holding down the CONCERT MAGIC button.
Tune No.
Hold down the button.
The LCD display shows you the song number and abbreviated song title.
You have selected a song in Bank A.
Step 2
To select a song in Bank B, press the same key again.
The LCD display shows you another song title with "B" at the beginning.
Repeatedly pressing the key switches between the two banks.
