Let yourself be convinced by its sound, the great design and the many possibilities.
GRAND FEEL III KEYBOARD WITH REAL WOODEN KEYS, PRESSURE POINT SIMULATION AND EBONY & IVORY TOUCH SURFACES
The CA701 is equipped with the Grand Feel III mechanism with wooden keys, which provides an exceptionally realistic playing feel. The key length of the Grand Feel III keyboard (from the front edge of the key to the balance bar pin) is longer than any other digital piano keyboard. All eighty-eight black and white keys are made entirely of long wooden pieces. Like a grand piano, each key moves gently on a balance beam. When you press a key, a weighted hammer is moved upwards, just like the original. In addition, the triple sensor system ensures optimal repetition and game control.
The graduated weighted hammers create a real wing feeling. In addition, weights are incorporated into the front area of each key on the Grand Feel III keyboard, so that an even better balance between pronounced fortissimo and yet low-fatigue playing with perfect control in pianissimo is possible. In addition, the Grand Feel III keyboard is equipped with a pressure point simulation, which ensures perfect control when playing pianissimo.
All 88 keys of the Grand Feel III keyboard are equipped with ivory-like coverings (Ebony & Ivory Touch), which provide the player with greater security and excellent game control thanks to a non-slip surface.
SHIGERU KAWAI SK-EX COMPETITION GRAND AND SK-EX CONCERT GRAND CONCERT GRAND PIANOS, REPRODUCED WITH THE LATEST SK-EX RENDERING SOUND TECHNOLOGY
The beautiful sound of the Kawai SK-EX concert grand is the heart of the new CA701.
You can now find it in two versions. As with the previous model as SK-EX Concert Grand and now also as SK-EX COMPETITION GRAND.
The new SK-EX COMPETITION GRAND sound was newly and elaborately sampled from a latest generation SK-EX concert grand piano selected for international competitions.
The sound of this special grand piano was captured with all its nuances using multiple microphone positions and is characterized by an even stronger tone and greater dynamics. The subsequent mix of the different microphone positions was aimed at the player's position, in contrast to the SK-EX Concert Grand, which sounds more like from the listener's position.
In order to be able to reproduce the impressive sound of the Shigeru grand pianos as realistically as possible, Kawai has further developed the SK-EX rendering sound generation, which is characterized by high-resolution multi-channel sampling of all 88 keys in combination with the latest resonance modeling technology. Multi-channel sampling includes the sound recorded from multiple positions of the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano, which can reproduce a wider range of sound characteristics, enabling more vivid authentic sound changes during dynamic playing. This natural and expressive sound is further enriched through the use of physical modeling with newly developed resonance algorithms. The complex overall sound that flows through the strings,
