AboutthisOwnersManual
Before attempting to play the ES7 digital piano, please read the Introduction chapter from page 10 of this owner’s manual. This
chapter explains the name and function of each part, how to set-up the instrument, and how to perform basic operations.
The Playing the Piano chapter (page 16) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, such as selecting
and combining sounds, and splitting the keyboard into separate sections. This chapter also explains how to apply reverb and eects
to sounds, transpose the pitch of the keyboard, and how to use the metronome feature.
The Rhythm Section chapter (page 36) explains how performances can be enhanced with backing accompaniments, while the
Recorder section (page 46) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored in the instruments internal memory,
and MP3/WAV audio les saved to a USB memory device. Additional functions to load and save songs and registration memories
from/to USB devices are further explained in the USB Functions chapter (page 61).
The Settings section (page 70) details the various options and settings that can be used to adjust the sound and operation of
the ES7 digital piano, in addition to explaining the instruments useful MIDI capabilities. Finally, the Appendix section (page 118)
includes listings for all internal sounds, demo songs, and Rhythm Section data, in addition to troubleshooting recommendations,
MIDI reference information, and full specication details.

Feature Highlights
'Responsive Hammer 2' weighted-key action, with Ivory Touch key surfaces and Let-o simulation
The new Responsive Hammer 2 (RH2) 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 ES7 digital piano also features Kawai’s Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb nger moisture to assist the player’s
performance, while, let-o simulation recreates the subtle ‘notch sensation felt when softly playing the keys of a grand piano,
satisfying the expectations of the most discerning pianists.
Progressive Harmonic Imaging (PHI) with 88-key piano sampling
The ES7 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88
keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Progressive
Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand
piano, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.
The instrument’s built-in Virtual Technician feature allows various characteristics of the acoustic piano sound to be shaped at
the touch of a button, with settings to adjust string and damper resonance, in addition to subtle hammer, damper, and key
release noises. This personalised piano sound is further enhanced with atmospheric reverberation eects, delivering a rich,
vibrant piano tone with breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Strong selection of additional instrument sounds
Supplementing the realistic acoustic piano voices, the ES7 digital piano also features a strong selection of additional
instrument sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar and church organs, to string, choir, and mallet instruments,
inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances.
Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two dierent sounds, such as grand piano and strings, to be layered together,
while the Split and Four Hands modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections. The volume balances for each
playing mode can also be adjusted quickly and easily using the real-time panel controls.
Professional accompaniment styles
Featuring a variety of styles ranging from pop and rock ballads, to jazz-funk, dance, and latin avours, the Rhythm Section
function of the ES7 digital piano provides solo performers with professionally arranged backing accompaniment at the
touch of a button. In addition, the 100 preset chord progressions and One Finger Ad-lib™ solo phrases allow musicians to
breathe life into their repertoire, while maintaining control over each performance.
USB to Device functionality, with MP3/WAV le recording and playback
The ES7 digital piano 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 registration
memories and songs recorded and stored in internal memory to be saved to USB for posterity, or standard MIDI les (SMF)
downloaded from the internet to be conveniently played back without additional hardware.
USB memory devices can also be used to play back MP3 or WAV audio les, allowing musicians to learn the chords or melody
for a new piece, or to simply play along with their favourite songs. It is even possible to save performances as MP3 or WAV
les for emailing to friends and family, listening to on a smartphone, or for further editing using an audio workstation.
Wide range of connectivity options
The ES7 digital piano features a variety of standard connectivity options, with Line-level output jacks that allow the instrument
to be enjoyed in larger settings such as churches and schools. Standard MIDI and USB to Host connectors ensure exibility
when using computers and other electronic instruments, while the Line-in stereo jack provides a convenient method of
mixing in audio from a laptop, tablet, or other digital device.

Introduction
Setting Up the Piano
Upon unboxing the instrument, please follow the instructions below which explain how to attach the music rest,
connect the F-10H (or optional F-20) foot pedal, and if desired, connect a pair of headphones.
Attaching the music rest
Insert the legs of the music rest into the holes located at the
rear of the ES7 digital piano, taking care not to scratch the rear
of the instrument.
To prevent possible damage, avoid applying excessive force
when attaching/detaching the music rest from the instrument.
Connecting the F-10H foot pedal
Connect the included Kawai F-10H foot pedal to the DAMPER
pedal jack located on the rear panel of the instrument.
The foot pedal will behave as a damper pedal, sustaining the
sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. This pedal is
capable of responding to ‘half pedaling’.
Connecting the optional F-20 double pedal
Connect the optional Kawai F-20 double pedal to the DAMPER/
SOFT pedal jack located on the rear panel of the instrument.
The right pedal will behave as a damper pedal, sustaining the
sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. This pedal is
also capable of responding to ‘half pedaling’.
The left pedal will behave as a soft pedal, softening the sound
and reducing its volume.
* When ‘Jazz Organ’ or ‘Drawbar Organ’ sounds are selected, the soft
pedal can also be used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker
eect between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ modes.
Connecting headphones
Use the jacks located on either side of the keyboard to connect
stereo headphones to the ES7 digital piano.
Two pairs of headphones can be connected and used
simultaneously. When a pair of headphones is connected,
