Frequently asked questions about Kawai instruments, product features, and other topics.
A
The PianoRemote app allows owners of supported Kawai digital and hybrid pianos to select the various piano and other instrument sounds, adjust numerous Virtual Technician parameters, and listen to a wide range of built-in piano music content, all from an attractive touch interface.
In order for PianoRemote's Metronome and Music Playback functions to continue working when the app is not shown on the screen, the PianoRemote app is designed to run in Background mode.
For this reason, the PianoRemote app may continue to use the device's resources, even when not being used.
In order to prevent battery drain, it is therefore recommended to manually close the PianoRemote app when not in use.
