Thank you for purchasing a KAWAI CN33 digital piano!
This instrument combines the latest digital technologies with traditional piano craftsmanship, delivering a truly breathtaking
musical experience for amateur and professional pianists alike. The CN33’s rich, expressive tone has been created through
the meticulous recording of KAWAI’s hand-built concert grand pianos, and reproduced using unique Progressive Harmonic
Imaging™ sound technology. While the Responsive Hammer action features a realistic weight-graded keyboard with Ivory
Touch surfaces and authentic Let-off mechanism to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.
The CN33 digital piano also features reverb and digital effects processors that create a richer, more authentic sound,
while the Lesson function helps budding performers to practice the piano using a selection of built-in etudes from Czerny
and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred’s Basic Piano Library and Alfred’s Premier Piano Course lesson books.
Finally, standard MIDI and USB-MIDI connectors are provided to allow communication with computers or other electronic
instruments, while recorded songs can also be stored on a USB memory device.
This owner’s manual contains useful information regarding the varied functions and capabilities of the CN33 digital piano.
Please read all sections carefully and keep this documentation handy for future reference.

6) FOUR HANDS MODE
The FOUR HANDS function divides the keyboard of the CN33 digital piano into separate Upper and Lower sections
in a similar way to that of the SPLIT function. In addition, the octave/pitch of each section is also adjusted,
allowing two people to play the piano together.
Step 1
Press and hold the SPLIT button, then press the damper/sustain (right) pedal and the soft (left) pedal
together.
The LED indicator for the SPLIT button will start to
flash, indicating that FOUR HANDS mode has been
activated.
In addition, the LED indicator for the Upper section
sound button will also turn on, while the Lower
section sound button will start to flash.
The selected sound variation numbers will be shown
in the LED display.
The left number represents the Lower section, while
the right number represents the Upper section.
When activating FOUR HANDS mode for the first
time, the sound of both the Upper and Lower sections
will be set to Concert Grand.
Step 2
Play the piano.
With FOUR HANDS mode activated, the sounds in the Upper section are transposed two octaves down from the
original pitch, while sounds from the Lower section are transposed two octaves up from the original pitch, allowing
two people to play within the same key range.
The number of keys used for the Upper and Lower sections can be freely adjusted by changing the Split Point.
The default Split Point setting is set between E3 and F3.
When FOUR HANDS mode is activated, the Lower Octave Shift function can be used to adjust the octave range for the
Lower section. Please refer to the instructions on page 44 for more information.

7) REVERB AND EFFECTS
The CN33 digital piano allows performers to alter sounds by adding reverb and applying effects.
When selecting some internal sounds, the LED indicators for the EFFECTS or REVERB buttons may turn on
automatically. This is because certain internal sounds are prepared with an effect enabled as the default setting,
enhancing tonal quality and improving acoustic realism.
ADDING REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall.
There are five types of reverb available:
Reverb type Description
Room 1 Simulates the ambiance of a living room or small rehearsal room.
Room 2 Simulates a larger room than Room 1.
Stage Simulates the ambiance of a small hall or live stage.
Hall 1 Simulates the ambiance of a concert hall or theatre.
Hall 2 Simulates a larger hall or theatre than Hall 1.
Step 1
Press and hold the REVERB button, then press the S or T VALUE buttons to select the desired reverb
type.
The currently selected reverb type will
be shown in the LED display.
Step 2
Press the REVERB button again to deactivate the reverb simulation.
The LED indicator for the REVERB button will turn off, indicating that the reverb simulation has been
deactivated.
Pressing the REVERB button once again will reactivate the reverb simulation, recalling the previously selected
reverb type.
Reverb settings are specific to each individual sound.
Any changes made to the reverb type or on/off status will remain until the power is turned off.
When the power is turned off, the reverb settings will return to the default settings.

APPLYING EFFECTS
Effects alter the impression and feeling of the sounds.
There are seven types of effect available:
Effect type Description
Chorus
Simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version
of the sound over the original to enrich it.
Delay 1
Delay 2
Delay 3
Adds an echo to the sound. There are three types of delay available, each with a different length of
delay between the echoes.
Tremolo Adds vibrato to the sound.
Rotary 1
Rotary 2
Simulates the sound of a rotary speaker cabinet commonly used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is a
normal rotary effect while and Rotary 2 adds distortion.
When either the Rotary 1 or Rotary 2 effect is selected, pressing the Soft pedal will alternate the speed of the rotary
speaker simulation between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes.
Step 1
Press and hold the EFFECTS button, then press the S or T VALUE buttons to select the desired effect
type.
The currently selected effect type will be shown
in the LED display.
Step 2
Press the EFFECTS button again to deactivate the effects.
The LED indicator for the EFFECTS button will turn off, indicating that the effects have been deactivated.
Pressing the EFFECTS button once again will reactivate the effects, recalling the previously selected effect type.
Effects settings are specific to each individual sound.
Any changes made to the effect type or on/off status will remain until the power is turned off.
