    What to do if there's no sound from some zones on my Kawai MP7SE?
    • C
      Christine BoyleAug 28, 2025
      Check that the zone’s ON/OFF button is turned on. Also, verify that the zone is not set to EXT mode, ensuring the red LED above the ON/OFF button (INT) is lit. Confirm that the zone’s VOLUME fader is not at the lowest position and that the zone’s ON/OFF button is not green. Ensure the AMP level parameter in the EDIT menu is not set to 0. Additionally, check that the modulation wheel is not assigned to the ‘Expression’ function. Finally, verify that the Receive Mode parameter in the SYSTEM:MIDI menu is not set to ‘Multi’, and the Receive Channel is not set to MAIN or SUB1~3. If playing separate sections by MIDI or control change is not required, set the Receive Mode parameter to ‘Panel’.

    Why does the keyboard on my Kawai Musical Instrument have no touch responsiveness?
    • L
      lewiskimberlyAug 30, 2025
      Check that the Touch Curve parameter in the EDIT menu is not set to Off. Also, confirm that the Dynamics parameter in the EDIT menu is not set to Off, as this disables touch response. Ensure that the Trigger Mode parameter in the EDIT menu is not set to Fast. Note that some synth sounds like SynthBass or SawLead are intentionally designed without touch response; adjust the DCA Touch Depth or DCF Touch Depth parameters to modify this characteristic.
