WELCOME!
Welcome to the Kawai CP3 Quick Start Guide.
This guide provides new CP users with a selection of step-by-step instructions to some of these instruments’ most useful
features. With so many buttons, menus, and functions, the CP3 can appear rather daunting at first, however by following
a few basic steps we’ll soon be learning how to select sounds and accompaniment styles, record our songs, and even
save pieces to USB memory.
Below is a list of topics that we’ll be covering in this guide:
Overview of controls
Selecting instrument sounds
Selecting accompaniment styles
Recording a song
Deleting, saving, and loading a song
Saving and loading a song to/from USB memory
Playing MP3 audio files from USB memory
Saving MP3 audio files to USB memory
