 CE220 Feature Highlights
AWA Grand Pro II wooden-key keyboard action
The CE220 digital piano utilises the critically acclaimed AWA Grand Pro II keyboard action, employing longer, real wooden
keys for an unsurpassed acoustic piano feel. Authentic key balance points, action movement and contact placements
combine with proper hammer grading and bass key counter-weights to replicate the exceptional touch of the worldrenowned Kawai EX Concert Grand Piano. Such meticulous attention to detail provides incredible stability during fortissimo
passages, while preserving delicate pianissimo control, to satisfy the demands of even the most discerning pianist.

Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ (PHI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling
The CE220 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
Progressive Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of theoriginal grand piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to thestrongest, boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall are also
applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity, while the unique Voicing
function allows players to adjust the tonal character of the piano beneath their fingertips.

Excellent selection of additional instrument sounds
Supplementing the realistic acoustic piano voices, the CE220 digital piano also features an excellent selection of additional
instrument sounds, ranging from electric pianos and drawbar and church organs, to strings, brass, and woodwind
instruments, inviting musicians to add greater variety to their performances.
Furthermore, the Dual playing mode also allows two different sounds, such as grand piano and strings, to be layered
together, while the Split and Four Hands modes divide the keyboard into two independent sections. The volume balancesfor each playing mode can also be adjusted quickly and easily using the real-time balance slider.

Wide range of connectivity options
The CE220 digital piano features a variety of standard connectivity options, with LINE-level audio jacks that allow the
instrument to be enjoyed in larger settings such as churches and schools. Standard MIDI and USB to Host connectors
provide flexibility when using computers and other audio devices, while the USB to Device port allows musicians to saverecorded performances to USB flash memory devices. It is even possible to playback Standard MIDI File (SMF) songs stored

sectionthe Pedals
Using
As with a grand piano, the CE220 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.

 Sustain pedal (right pedal)

The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal

Preparation Before Use

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands havebeen lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the pianosound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.

Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal

 Soft pedal (left pedal)

 Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes thathave been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.

When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between'Slow' and 'Fast' effect modes.

 Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board
to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the floor
and supports the pedals firmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become
damaged.
Pedal support bolt
When moving the instrument, always adjust or
remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust
when the instrument is in its new position.

 Caring for the pedals

Keyboard

1 TouchAs with an acoustic piano, the CE220 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with force, anda softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation to the strengthand speed of playing – on a digital piano this system is referred to as ‘touch sensitivity’.
The Touch setting allows the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to be conveniently adjusted. There are six different
preset touch types available, with the ‘User’ setting allowing performers to create their own unique touch type.

 Touch type
Touch type

Description

Normal (default)

Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano.

Light 1Requires less striking force to achieve a forte note. For players with a very delicate touch.

Light 2A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch. For those still developing finger strength.
This curve is recommended for children and organ players.

Heavy 1Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume. Ideally suited to those with stronger fingers.

Heavy 2Requires considerably more striking force to achieve a loud volume.

6 Temperament
The Temperament setting allows the tuning system used by the CE220 digital piano to be changed from the modern‘Equal Temperament’ standard to one of the various musical temperaments popularised during the Renaissanceand Baroque periods.

 Available Temperament types
Temperament type
Equal Temperament (piano)(Equal P.only)

Pure Temperament (major)(Pure Major)

Pure Temperament (minor)(Pure Minor)

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

This temperament, which eliminates dissonances for thirds and fifths, is still popular in 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, is very limited for(Pythagorean)

use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.

Meantone Temperament(Meantone)

This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to eliminate dissonancefor 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

These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music with few(Werkmeister)

accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone, but as accidentals

Kirnberger III Temperament

increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the Pythagorean temperament.

(Kirnberger)

It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque era to revive the original characteristics.
This is an ‘unstretched’ equal temperament that divides the scale into twelve equal semi-tones.

Equal Temperament (flat)

It produces the same chordal intervals in all twelve keys, and has the advantage of limitless modulation(Equal Flat)of the key. However the tonality of each key becomes less characteristic and no chord is in pureconsonance.
This is the most popular piano temperament. The hearing ability of a human is uneven and is not as

Equal Temperament(Equal Stretch)accurate with high frequency and low frequency as it is with the middle range. This temperament’s
tuning is stretched to compensate for this so the sound will be heard naturally to the ears. This
‘stretched’ equal temperament is a practical variation of the ‘unstretched’ equal temperament which

was invented on a mathematical basis.
