Do I need to download or install a driver to use USB-MIDI with my Kawai piano?

Q: Do I need to download or install a driver to use USB-MIDI with my Kawai piano?

In most cases, no. Modern Mac and Windows systems include built-in USB-MIDI drivers that automatically recognise Kawai pianos.

In most cases, no additional driver installation is required. macOS and modern versions of Windows include built-in USB-MIDI support, and the operating system will automatically recognise your Kawai piano when connected via USB.

Ensure your operating system is up to date with the latest updates. If your piano is not recognised, check the Kawai website for model-specific driver downloads. Always download drivers from the official Kawai website to avoid security risks.

Some legacy pianos or older operating systems may require drivers — refer to your piano's documentation or contact Kawai support if automatic detection does not work.
