 Thank you for purchasing this Kawai MP7SE stage piano.
This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the instrument’s usage and operation.
Please read all chapters carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.

 About this Owner’s Manual

Before attempting to play this instrument, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This chapter
provides a brief explanation of each section of the MP7SE’s control panel, an overview of its various jacks and connectors, and details
how the components of the instrument’s sound are structured.

The Main Operation chapter (page 20) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, beginning with
turning zones on and off, adjusting their volume, and selecting sounds. Later on, this chapter introduces basic sound adjustment
using the four control knobs, before examining how reverb, EFX, and amp simulation can all be applied to dramatically change
the character of the selected sound. Next, the MP7SE’s authentic Tonewheel Organ mode is outlined, explaining how to adjust
drawbar positions using zone faders and control knobs, and change the organ’s percussion characteristics. The chapter closes with
an explanation of the instrument’s global EQ and transpose functions.

The EDIT Menu chapter (page 38) lists all available INT mode and EXT mode parameters by category for convenient reference. The
STORE Button & SETUP Menus chapter (page 64) outlines storing customised sounds, capturing the entire panel configuration as
a SETUP, then recalling different SETUPs from the MP7SE’s internal memory.

The Recorder chapter (page 68) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored both in the instrument’s
internal memory, and also MP3/WAV audio files saved to USB memory devices. This chapter also explains the MP7SE’s metronome/
drum pattern functions. Additional USB functions are covered in greater detail in the USB Menu chapter (page 99), while the
SYSTEM Menu chapter (page 105) explains the MP7SE’s system settings and various reset functions.

Finally, the Appendix section (page 119) includes USB-MIDI driver information, software update instructions and listings of the
instrument’s internal sounds, drum rhythms, effects, MIDI reference information, and full specification details.

1 Feature Highlights
‘Responsive Hammer III’ weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-off simulation
The MP7SE’s Responsive Hammer III (RH III) keyboard action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with
Introduction

its realistic movement and accurate 3-sensor technology providing a smooth, natural, and highly responsive piano playing
experience. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass hammers and lighter treble hammers
of an acoustic piano, while structural reinforcements within the action assembly ensure greater stability during fortissimo and
staccato passages.

The RH III keyboard action also reproduces the subtle let-off sensation felt when playing the keys of a grand piano very softly,
enhancing delicate pianissimo playing to satisfy the expectations of even the most discerning pianists. Finally, the MP7SE
keyboard action features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces as standard. This finely textured material gently absorbs moisture to
assist playing control, and possesses a natural, matte finish that is smooth, but not slippery.

The ultimate pianos for Concert, Pop, and Jazz

The MP7SE captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s SK-EX, EX, and SK-5 acoustic grand pianos, with all 88 keys of these exceptional
instruments meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This
unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand pianos, affording pianists an extraordinary
level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.

With separate categories for Concert, Pop, and Jazz playing, the MP7SE offers an excellent selection of high quality acoustic piano
sounds suitable for various musical styles, including separate sub-categories for upright and mono pianos.

Moreover, Kawai’s unique Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the selected acoustic piano sound to be
shaped at the touch of a button or the turn of a knob, with parameters to adjust voicing and regulation, string and damper
resonances, and subtle hammer, damper, and key release noises.

Vintage EPs, twin effects, and amp simulation

The MP7SE also features an excellent selection of vintage electric piano sounds, each with their own distinctive characteristics.
Enjoy their natural, organic sound, or pass the signal through a wide variety of classic effects stomp boxes, before plugging into
one of the five classic amp and speaker cabinets – complete with realistic microphone character and position modelling.

Classic tonewheel organs with drawbar control and authentic percussion

The MP7SE’s brand new tonewheel organ simulation transforms the stage piano into a vintage electromechanical organ, complete
with nine real-time adjustable drawbars and authentic percussion controls. Organ enthusiasts can dial-in favourite drawbar
registrations, adjust the ‘condition’ of the organ tone, and select their preferred rotary speaker character, then store the sound to
memory for immediate recall. With organ mode selected, the MP7SE adjusts the strike point for the keyboard, allowing blazing
runs and greasy licks to be played on its fully-weighted action as easily as the real thing.

High quality strings, pads, brasses, basses and more

Supplementing the realistic acoustic pianos, vintage electric pianos, and growling tonewheel organs, the MP7SE features a broad
range of high quality strings, pads, synths, brass and woodwind voices, basses, guitars, and a whole host of other useful sounds.
These supplementary sounds are ideal for building layers, adding texture to other instruments, or for playing individually, at
the front of the mix. And if the stock sound isn’t quite perfect, feel free to customise and tweak using the MP7SE’s flexible ADSR
parameters and resonance/cut-off controls – all immediately accessible directly from the panel.

Four zone master keyboard controller

The MP7SE maintains the MP series’ classic four-zone approach, with each zone able to play internal sounds, external MIDI devices,
or both types simultaneously. Zones can be played individually, or freely split, layered and velocity switched to create stunning
personalised performances. The MP7SE’s powerful customisation allows parameters and settings for each zone to be adjusted
and controlled independently, making for an unbelievably versatile all-in-one performance instrument.

Intuitive operation, large LCD, real-time assignable control knobs

The MP7SE’s control panel is clearly arranged and easy to use, with related functions grouped together and placed where you’d
expect to find them. A large LCD display and four assignable control knobs, allow several parameters to be adjusted directly in
real-time, without getting lost in menus – concentrate on playing, rather than trying to remember which button does what.

10
 256 Setup memories: enough for the busiest stage musician
The MP7SE allows every single customised sound, knob position, fader level, and adjustable parameter to be stored in memory as
a SETUP, and recalled at the touch of a button. With over 250 SETUP memories, the MP7SE is ideal for busy stage musicians who
like to plan several shows ahead, before going out on the road.

USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV/SMF file recording and playback

Introduction
The MP7SE is equipped with USB connectors that not only allow the instrument to be connected to a computer for MIDI use,
but also to load and save data to USB memory devices directly. This ‘USB to Device’ feature allows customised sounds, SETUP
memories, and recorder songs stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity.

USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio or SMF MIDI files, allowing performing musicians to
play along with professional backing tracks, or simply learn the chords or melody for a new piece. It is even possible to save
performances directly as MP3, WAV, or SMF files for emailing to band members, casual listening away from the keyboard, or further
editing using an audio workstation.

Understanding the MP7SE
 Preparation before use
The MP7SE does not feature built-in speakers. Therefore, in order to listen to the MP7SE, it will first be necessary to connect a mixer,
keyboard amplifier, or headphones to the instrument.

Once connected to an audio output device, press the POWER SWITCH located on the right of the rear panel to turn on the MP7SE.

Introduction
It is recommended to turn on the MP7SE before the audio output device in order to avoid the unpleasant switching noise that can
sometimes occur.

 MP7SE zone structure: explanation

The MP7SE features 4 zones: MAIN, SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3. Each zone features a dedicated VOLUME fader and can be turned ON or OFF
freely. Zones can be set to INT (play the MP7SE’s internal sounds), EXT (control external MIDI devices) or INT and EXT simultaneously.

When a zone is set to INT, the process of selecting and assigning sounds is largely identical for each zone. However, there are some
important differences between the MAIN zone and three SUB zones. First, the MAIN zone features two separate EFX modules and
an additional AMP simulator, while the SUB zones each feature one EFX module only. Moreover, the MAIN zone allows any of the 129
effects to be assigned to both EFX modules, however the variety of effects available to the SUB zones’ EFX modules is limited to 22
effects. Finally, the MP7SE’s tonewheel organ mode can only be used with the MAIN zone is selected, thus the SUB zones are limited
to using the standard PCM organ sounds. All sounds are adjusted using the various parameters in the EDIT menu, with additional
‘Feature Parameters’ that are specific to certain sounds.

REVERB settings are common for all zones, however the depth parameter can be controlled independently for each zone. The
MP7SE’s EQ is also common for all zones, however parameters in the EDIT menu allow the tonal character for each zone’s sound to
be adjusted independently.

When set to EXT, zones are used to control external MIDI devices. The MAIN and SUB zones share the same MIDI capabilities, allowing
up to four MIDI channels to be independently controlled at the same time. As with INT mode, various parameters to define transmit/
receive channels, MMC features, keyboard ranges, and knob assignments can be accessed for each EXT zone via the EDIT menu.

Modifications to each sound can be stored as individual SOUND presets, while the entire configuration of the MP7SE itself can be
stored in one of the 256 SETUP memories.

2 EFX
In addition to reverb, various other effects can be applied to each zone, altering the tonal character and feeling of
the selected sound. The MP7SE features 129 high quality EFX types, with effects automatically applied to some
sounds by default in order to enhance their realism.

As noted in the introduction chapter, the MAIN and SUB1/SUB2/SUB3 zones share largely the same EFX operation,
however there are some important specification and capability differences between the two zone types.

 About Substitute effects for SUB1/SUB2/SUB3 zones

As noted above, the total number of effect types available for the MAIN zone is much larger than that of the SUB zones. Therefore, when
assigning a sound to a SUB zone that was prepared using an effect only available for the MAIN zone, the MP7SE will automatically select
the closest ‘substitute’ effect. An icon will also be shown beside the type parameter to indicate that a substitute effect is being used.

The example below shows the ‘Classic’ AutoPan effect being substituted for the ‘Standard’ AutoPan effect.
* Only the EFX1 effect will be substituted. Any effects that are assigned to EFX2 will be disregarded.

 Temperament types

Temperament type Description

This is the most popular tuning method that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones.
Equal Temperament This produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless
(Equal) modulation of the key. However, the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in
pure consonance.
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths is still popular for choral music
Pure Temperament
because of its perfect harmony.
(Pure Maj./Pure Min.)
When playing in a major key select ‘Pure Maj’ and when playing in a minor key select ‘Pure Min’.
Pythagorean Temperament This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for
(Pythagorean) use with chords, but it produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance
Meantone Temperament for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths for the
(Meantone) Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those with the equal temperament.
Werkmeister III Temperament These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few
(Werkmeis) accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals
Kirnberger III Temperament increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament.
(Kirnberg) They are used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
User Temperament
User defined temperament created by raising or lowering the pitch for each semi-tone.

 Overview of the EDIT Menu (EXT mode)
The EDIT menu can also be used to adjust parameters for zones in EXT mode. As with the INT mode EDIT menus, the
parameters are grouped by category, providing direct control over any connected MIDI devices.

As with zones set to INT mode, this collection of parameters, together with other adjustable settings, can be stored
as a SETUP memory (page 65). The MP7SE provides 256 user programmable SETUP memories.

 About Common parameters ( icon)

Unless stated, parameter settings for the MAIN, SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3 zones are independent for each zone. However, parameters
marked with a icon are common for all four zones. For example, changing the Right Pedal Assign parameter for the MAIN zone
will automatically change the Right Pedal Assign parameter for the SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3 zones.

If the Receive Mode MIDI parameter is set to Panel (page 110), the MP7SE receives MIDI data on the System Channel
only. To change internal sounds via MIDI, please refer to the Program Change Number List (page 154).
* Note: If the MP7SE receives the Program Number from 1 to 128 and Bank number MSB 0 or 1 in the System Channel, the MP7SE will switch to SETUP mode
and the corresponding SETUP is recalled. When the Receive Mode is Section, the MP7SE can be received to each internal sound sections individually.
