Kawai Concert Performer Overview Manual - page 4
The Concert Performer has 220 accompaniment styles to help your music
sound more complete and professional. Styles are organized into musical
“genres” and are easily accessed by the STYLE category buttons. The 1-2 PLAY
button provides an appropriate “setup,” including right and left-hand sounds, for
the selected accompaniment style.
Styles
There are two modes to the CP recorder. Use the Easy Record mode to make
quick recordings of your “live” playing. You can also re-record and overdub in
this mode. The Advanced Recorder is a 16-track recording studio with
professional features such as a mixing console and event editor. You can save
your recordings to floppy disk in a variety of formats.

The Style Conductor provides an easy and unique way to mix and match
musical “phrases” within an accompaniment style. Choose your favorite drummer,
bassist, guitarist, etc. to create millions of variations of the Concert Performer’s
220 styles.

There are 8 registration buttons on the Concert Performer’s panel. Each
button contains a “setup” that selects a style, right and left-hand sounds, and
other details automatically. Pressing the REGIST GROUPS button provides
access to 20 different pre-programmed registration groups – 160 registrations
in all. You can also save your own registrations to any of the 160 locations.

The Concert Performer CP205 and CP175 are the world’s first digital pianos with a recordable audio CD drive.
You can record CDs of your “live” playing, internal songs, and MIDI files. You can even record vocals and
other instruments via the MIC input. Your completed CD can then be played in any audio CD player.
