Kawai CL25-LDS Quick Start Guide
NOTE: Make sure that your CL25-LDS operation panel has a “panel overlay” attached
that identifies the specific button names associated with the CL25-LDS model. If the
panel overlay is not attached, please notify Kawai America at 800-421-2177 (x870) to
request the overlay.
a.
Selecting a Hymn or Children’s Song
The hymns and children’s songs are assigned to each of the 88 white and black keys
in alphabetical order. All of the titles are listed on the following page.
To make a selection, press and hold down the HYMNS button while pressing the key
that corresponds to your desired hymn or children’s song. The LED light on the
HYMNS button will light when the Hymn Player feature is activated.
b.
Playing Methods
Once you have selected a hymn or song, there are two different ways to play it using
the Hymn Player feature:
1)
AUTO PLAY:
You can play any hymn or song automatically. Simply select
a hymn/song as instructed above (making sure the HYMNS button is lit) and
then press the PLAY/STOP button. The selected hymn/song will immediately
begin to play. When it finishes, you can press the PLAY/STOP button again
to repeat the hymn from the beginning.
2)
METER PLAY METHOD:
You can play a hymn or song by tapping any
key on the CL25-LDS keyboard in "straight meter" (that is, with evenly
spaced beats). The Hymn Player feature will provide the correct melody and
accompaniment notes, regardless of which keys you press. Your tapping will
control both the tempo and the volume of the hymn's playback. In essence,
the Meter Play Method allows you to "conduct" the hymn or song.
After selecting a hymn, tap any key with even beats to start playing. When the
hymn is finished, you can continue tapping to repeat the hymn from the
beginning

USING THE “PRELUDE MUSIC” FEATURE
The Prelude Music feature allows the CL25-LDS to play a preset sequence of hymns for
prelude or postlude. To activate Prelude Music:
a.
Make sure the LED light on the HYMNS button is
off
(if it is currently on, press
the HYMNS button again to turn it off).
b.
Press the START/STOP button to activate the Prelude Music. The ORGAN sound
will be automatically selected and the hymn will play. Each hymn will be played
twice. Some hymns will change key the second time they are played. When the
original randomly-selected hymn finishes, the next hymn in the preset sequence
will play.
c.
Press the STOP/START button again to stop the Prelude Music at any time.
