Keyboard and Sound Settings

8 Touch
As with an acoustic piano, the ES110 digital piano produces a louder sound when the keys are struck with
force, and a softer sound when the keys are played gently. The volume and tonal character change in relation
to the strength and 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 changed. There are four
different preset touch settings available.
* This setting will affect all sounds.

 Touch type

Touch type Description Key

A constant volume is produced regardless of how hard the keys are struck.
Off C#4
This setting is recommended for sounds that have a fixed dynamic range such as organ and harpsichord.

A louder volume is produced even when playing with a soft touch.

Light G#4
This setting is recommended for children and organ players, or for those still developing finger strength.

Normal (default) Reproduces the standard touch sensitivity of an acoustic piano. F#4
Requires a heavier touch to produce a loud volume.
Heavy A#4
This setting is recommended to those with stronger fingers.

 Changing the Touch type

9 Tuning
The Tuning setting allows the overall pitch of the ES110 digital piano to be raised and lowered in 0.5 Hz steps,
and may therefore prove useful when playing with other instruments.

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

 Temperament types

Temperament type Description

This is the default temperament. When a piano sound is selected, the tuning will be
Equal Temperament (piano) stretched like an acoustic 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
Pure Temperament in choral music because of its perfect harmony. Any key modulation will result in
(Pure Major/Pure Minor) dissonances.
* The key of the temperament, and major/minor setting must be correctly matched.

This temperament, which uses mathematical ratios to eliminate dissonance for fifths, is
Pythagorean Temperament
very limited for use with chords, but produces very characteristic melodic lines.
This temperament, which uses a mean between a major and minor whole tone to
eliminate dissonance for thirds, was devised to eliminate the lack of consonances
Meantone Temperament
experienced with certain fifths for the Mersenne pure temperament. It produces chords
that are more beautiful than those played with equal temperament.
These two temperaments are placed in between Meantone and Pythagorean. For music
Werckmeister III Temperament with few accidentals, this temperament produces the beautiful chords of the mean tone,
but as accidentals increase, the temperament produces the characteristic melodies of the
Kirnberger III Temperament Pythagorean temperament. It is used primarily for classical music written in the Baroque
era 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 capable
of transmitting and receiving data via MIDI. The receive channels are used to receive data from another MIDI device and the
transmit 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 c

Transmitting 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 of
the transmitting instrument a.
If the channels do not match, then the receiving instruments b/c will not respond to any data that is sent.

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

 Recording/playing with a sequencer

When connected to a sequencer, the ES110 digital piano can be
used to record and playback multi-track songs, with separate
sounds playing simultaneously on each channel.

Appendix

Connecting to Other Devices

The rear side of the ES110 digital piano features a variety of jacks that allow the instrument be connected
to MIDI devices, computers, speakers, and mixers. The illustration below provides a visual overview of the
instrument’s connectors and typical applications.

Connect the instrument to external

speakers, amplifiers, mixers, etc.

Connect the instrument to other MIDI

instruments, modules, devices, etc.

Connect the F-10H foot

pedal to the instrument.
Appendix

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 the
amplifier protection circuit.

This jack is used to connect the included F-10H foot pedal to the instrument.
* Please refer to page 11 for more information about pedal functions.

 MIDI IN/OUT jacks

These jacks are used to connect the ES110 digital piano to external MIDI devices, and also to a computer with a MIDI interface.
* When the ES110 digital piano is connected to a smart device via Bluetooth MIDI, the MIDI IN/OUT connectors will be disabled.

* Please refer to page 39 for more information about MIDI.

 LINE OUT jacks (1/4” phone jacks)

These jacks are used to connect the stereo output of the instrument’s sound to external speakers, amplifiers, mixers, recording
devices, and similar equipment. Mono signals will be output only if a cable is connected to the L/MONO jack. The MASTER VOLUME
slider will affect the output level of the LINE OUT jacks.
* When using the LINE OUT jacks, it may also be desirable to disable both the instrument’s built-in speakers and speaker EQ to ensure optimum
sound quality.

* Please refer to pages 45 and 46 for more information about the Speakers On/Off and Speaker EQ settings.

Front Connectors
 PHONES jacks (1/4” phone jack)
These jacks are used to connect stereo headphones to the ES110 digital piano. Two pairs of headphones can be connected and
used simultaneously. When a pair of headphones is connected, sound will not be produced by the built-in speakers.

The built-in speaker can also be disabled by using the Speakers On/Off setting.
