1 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer II weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-off simulation
Introduction
The new Responsive Hammer II (RHII) action recreates the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano, with 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 CN34 digital piano also features Kawais Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb finger moisture to assist the players
performance, while, let-off simulation recreates the subtle notch sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand
piano, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.

Similar in principle to Chorus, but intended for vintage electric piano sounds.
Stereo Delay
Add an echo effect to the sound, playing through both speakers (stereo) simultaneously.
Ping Delay
Adds a ping pong echo effect to the sound, giving the impression that is bouncing from left to right.
Triple Delay
Tremolo
Continuously varies the volume at a constant speed, adding a vibrato type effect to the sound.
Classic Tremolo
Similar in principle to Tremolo, but intended for vintage electric piano sounds.
Phaser

Touch
As with an acoustic piano, the CN34 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, and
a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strength
and speed of playing on a digital piano this system is referred to as touch sensitivity.
The Touch function allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be changed to one of five different settings:
Light +, Light, Heavy, Heavy + or Off.
Description
Light +
Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.
A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength.
Light
Normal (default)
* This touch curve is used when the Touch function is turned off.
Heavy
Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger fingers.
Heavy +
Off (constant)
* This touch curve intended for playing sounds of instruments that have a fixed dynamic range (e.g. organ and harpsichord).

These are settings that affect the sensitivity of the keys, which
determines the volume level in response to the key movement.

Virtual Technician
An experienced piano technician is essential to fully realise the potential of a fine acoustic piano. In addition to
meticulously tuning each note, the technician also performs numerous regulation and voicing adjustments that
allow the instrument to truly sing.
The Virtual Technician settings of the CN34 digital piano simulate these refinements digitally, allowing performers
to shape various aspects of the instruments character to suit their personal preferences.

2-5 Temperament
The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CN34 digital piano to be changed from the modern
Equal Temperament standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during the Renaissance and
Baroque periods. It is also possible to create customised temperaments using the User Temperaments function.
Temperament types
Temperament type
Description
This is the default temperament. When a piano sound is selected, the tuning will be stretched like an
acoustic piano (equal temperament).
(Equal P.only)
Pure Temperament
(Pure Major/Pure Minor)
Pythagorean Temperament
(Pythagorean)
Meantone Temperament
(Meantone)
Equal Temperament
(Equal Stretch)
* If any other type of sound is selected, the tuning will be set to equal temperament (flat).
This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in choral music
because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in dissonances.
* The key of the temperament, and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.
This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is very limited for
use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonance
for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances experienced with certain fifths for the
Mersenne pure temperament.
It produces chords that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few
accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals
increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament.
It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
This is an unstretched equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones. It produces
the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation of the key.
However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pure consonance.
This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not as
accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperaments
tuning is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. This
stretched equal temperament is a practical variation of the unstretched equal temperament which
was invented on a mathematical basis.

MIDI Overview
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting
musical instruments, computers, and other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.
MIDI Terminals

MIDI channels
MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT)
channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capable of
transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device, and the transmit
channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.
The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.
Transmitting instrument a
Receiving instrument b
Receiving instrument c
Transmitting instrument a sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments b/c.
The information arrives at the receiving instruments b/c.
Receiving instruments b/c will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel of the
transmitting instrument a. If the channels do not match, the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent.
For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1-16 can be used.

Before connecting the CN34 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the instrument and
the other device is turned off. If connections are established while the power is turned on, extraneous noise
that can damage the CN34 digital piano may activate the instruments amplifier protection circuit, preventing
any sound from being produced. If this occurs, turn the power off and then on again to reset the amplifier
protection circuit.
Do not connect the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the CN34 digital piano together with the same cable. An audio
loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
106
Jack Panel
LINE IN jacks (1/4 phone jack)
These jacks are used to connect the stereo output of the CN34

The CN34 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety of tones
created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible. This
includes string and damper resonances, key-off noises, and other
subtle characteristics that contribute to the overall piano playing
experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of
the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the
effects altogether using the settings in the Virtual Technician menu.
