Pianoteq Stand-alone NOT working with Kawai CA78

It seems your piano supports usb-audio,
So you should be able to select it as output.
Is it visible in the devices screen?
Also check if your computer shows the piano as usb-audio interface.

Hello,
if I'm not mistaken, the Kawai CA78 does not provide USB audio out. I mean that the piano cannot play audio samples generated from PC and sent from USB to its speakers, because that interface is not provided.

However, it seems to me that CA78 supports Bluetooth Low Energy audio, which can be used for the same purpose, although I have no idea of the latency. Probably, you will be forced to use a traditional audio cable for connecting the piano with the line-out jack of the PC, if the performances won't sound good for you.

Sincerely.

Thanks Carlo - Hi Shaun how are you doing mate?

I sort of reply to both of you here

Somebody already told me the same answer as Carlo in another forum I asked and since he had I remembered I done it previously exactly the way you, Carlo, say, sort of anyway

At that time I did it, you are right Shaun, using an audio interface line out, yet, obviously with a "Y connector" connected to both audio out of the external interface and at the other end just a "thing jack input" connected to the Kawai as the piano does not have proper two jacks line in audio connections

I think, I dont remember that well to be honest, that I wasnt impressed by the sound I got out of the piano hence I "parked" Pianoteq for a while, was too much hasle to not get that greater sound over my pianos own sound to be honest. I think I also thought that perhaps one of the reasons of me not getting such a great sound as I hear others play with was perhaps the "poor" connection coming into my piano.... and this was from Audio Interface to Piano. I would imagine a very thing audio cable Laptop / Piano will carry even less quality

Yesterday, sometime passed by and having forgotten all the above history, I was trying again but all I wanted was an easy almost cable free connection sort to speak, just something for me to enjoy my own music and all the rest of the history is this topic

<b>Shaun ask:
I'm interested if Pianoteq will work well though a Digital Piano's  internal Speakers - will it need some adjusting to get good quality sound?</b>

Well, there you got my answer already but to be honest I would need to try it again in order to give a more definitive answer. The sound was with quality enough, yet nothing to impress me anyway to be honest, at all. Im not sure if this make sense. Good audio, not this "supposed to be" great Pianoteq sound
---------------------------------------------------------------

Carlo spoken about my piano audio wireless bluetooth.... but further more, it also have MIDI wireless connection which its difficult to achieve in Windows but very easy to achieve in Apple. I wonder if Pianoteq its also available to work with an Ipad in which case I could both wireless ways, the audio and or MIDI even knowing some some latency will surely occurr

In any case, tomorrow Im going to try again with the audio connection to see if it convice me better this time

Thanks everyone for the answers

Thanks for such great info Amen

I knew that at the time when I tried the very first time - though I forgot later on I have to admit

So basically, are you trying to say, that there is not excuse and I should really benefit from the rich sound of Pianoteq over my own piano sounds without excuse (sort to speak)?

If so I gave it a further try. Thanks again
