The ES110 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, withall 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary
Harmonic Imaging ™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grandpiano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, small room, or concert hall arealso applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.

Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The ES110 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory andplayed back at the touch of a button.

2 Damper Resonance
Depressing the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers, allowing the strings to vibrate freely.
When a note or chord is played on the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of thenotes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The ES110 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the volumeof this resonance to be changed.

3 Voicing
On an acoustic piano, the shape, density, and texture of the hammers all influence the tonal character of the
instrument’s sound. Technicians utilise a variety of tools such as needles, files, and brushes to manipulatethese hammer felts, with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced tonal character across the keyboard.
The Voicing setting recreates various hammer properties, allowing the overall tonal character of the ES110
digital piano to be set to one of four different types.
While the default ‘Normal’ voicing setting should be appropriate for a broad range of musical genres, it may
be desirable to select a softer, more mellow tonal character for romantic pieces, or a brighter, more aggressive
tone for modern styles.

4 Fall-back Noise
When playing an acoustic piano, it is often possible to hear the faint sound of the keyboard action returning(i.e. ‘falling back’) to the neutral position after a key is released.
The ES110 digital piano reproduces this sound, with the Fall-back Noise setting allowing the volume of thissound to be changed.
While the default value is intended to simulate the natural volume level of the keys as they return to theirneutral position, it may occasionally be desirable to adjust the volume of this sound. For example, reducing
the volume when playing very soft pieces, where the fall-back noise may become too prominent.

10 Temperament
The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the ES110 digital piano to be changed fromthe modern ‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various temperaments popularised during theRenaissance and Baroque periods.
* This setting will affect all sounds.

 Temperament types
Temperament type

Description

Equal Temperament (piano)

This is the default temperament. When a piano sound is selected, the tuning will be
stretched like an acoustic piano (equal temperament).
* If any other type of sound is selected, the tuning will be set to equal temperament (flat).

Pure Temperament(Pure Major/Pure Minor)

This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popularin choral music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in
dissonances.
* The key of the temperament, and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.

Pythagorean TemperamentThis temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, isvery limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.

Meantone TemperamentThis temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone toeliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances
experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords
that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.

Werckmeister III Temperament
Kirnberger III Temperament

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For musicwith few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone,
but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the
Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroqueera to revive the original characteristics.

MIDI Settings
The term MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard for connecting
musical instruments, computers, and other devices to allow the exchange of performance data.

 MIDI terminals
MIDI terminal

Function

MIDI IN

Receiving note, program change, and other data.

MIDI OUT

Sending note, program change, and other data.

 MIDI channels
MIDI uses channels to exchange data back and forth between MIDI devices. There are receive (MIDI IN) and transmit (MIDI OUT)
channels. Most musical instruments or devices with MIDI functions are equipped with both MIDI IN and OUT jacks and are capableof transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and thetransmit channels are used to transmit data to another MIDI device.
The illustration below shows three musical instruments, connected together using MIDI.

Transmitting instrument a

Receiving instrument b

Receiving instrument cTransmitting instrument a sends transmit channel and keyboard information to receiving instruments b/c.
The information arrives at the receiving instruments b/c.
Receiving instruments b/c will respond to MIDI data that is sent if their receive channel is the same as the transmit channel ofthe transmitting instrument a.
If the channels do not match, then the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent.

Settings

For both receiving and transmitting, channels 1~16 can be used.

 Recording/playing with a sequencer
When connected to a sequencer, the ES110 digital piano can beused to record and playback multi-track songs, with separatesounds playing simultaneously on each channel.

instruments, modules, devices, etc.

Appendix

Connect the F-10H footpedal to the instrument.

Before connecting the ES110 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the instrument
and the other device is turned off. If connections are established while the power is turned on, extraneous
noise that can damage the ES110 digital piano may activate the instrument’s amplifier protection circuit,
preventing any sound from being produced. If this occurs, turn the power off and then on again to reset theamplifier protection circuit.

50

Rear Connectors
 DAMPER jackThis jack is used to connect the included F-10H foot pedal to the instrument.

Issue

Possible Cause and Solution

Page no.

The instrument does not turn on.

Check that the AC power adaptor is firmly attached to the
instrument, and connected to an AC outlet.

p. 12

The instrument turns itself off after aperiod of inactivity.

Check that the ‘Auto Power Off’ setting is not enabled.

p. 47

The instrument is turned on, however
no sound is produced when the keys
are pressed.

Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is not set to the lowest

menu is set to On.

p. 43

Check that the built-in speakers have not been disabled using
the Speakers On/Off setting.

p. 46

The sound distorts when playing atvery loud volume levels.

Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate
level, reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard.

p. 12

Strange sounds or noises are heard
when playing with piano sounds.

The ES110 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as
possible. This includes damper resonances, damper noises,
and other subtle characteristics that contribute to the overall
piano playing experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance therealism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce theirprominence.

p. 26

The top 18 notes of the keyboard
sustain far longer than neighbouring
notes, even when the damper pedal
is not pressed.

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce
the undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an
acoustic grand piano.
