KDP110 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) weighted-key keyboard action
The new Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) action has been developed to reproduce the distinctive touch of an
acoustic grand piano. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass and lighter treble
hammers of acoustic pianos, with a smooth matte texture applied to each black and white key for enhanced playability.
As with other Kawai digital piano keyboard actions, Responsive Hammer Compact II utilises triple sensor hammer velocity
detection, and features a springless mechanism that delivers a smooth and natural piano playing experience.
Despite its lightweight, compact design, the RHC II action allows experienced pianists to perform with condence,
playing fortissimo with power and certainty, while delicately controlling the softest, most gentle pianissimo passages.
Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling
The KDP110 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with
all 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 grand
piano, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest,
boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation eects that simulate the acoustic environment of a room, lounge, small hall, concert hall, live hall
or cathedral are also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the KDP110 digital piano also boasts integrated
Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once
connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, KDP110 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related
apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The KDP110 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and
played back at the touch of a button.
In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes
from Beyer, Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each
piece can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more dicult passages to be perfected.

Using the Pedals
As with a grand piano, the KDP110 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands
have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the
piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.
Soft pedal
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker simulation
between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ eect modes.
Pedal support bolt
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the oor,
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt is
fully extended and supports the pedals rmly.
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.
Playing the Piano
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
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or les.
Grand Feel pedal system
The KDP110 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal
weighting of Kawai’s SK-EX Concert Grand piano.

Concert Magic song arrangement types
Concert Magic songs are divided into three dierent arrangement types: Easy Beat (EB), Melody Play (MP),
and Skillful (SK). Each arrangement type requires a dierent level of skill to be performed correctly.
Easy Beat EB
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a constant, steady beat on any key of the keyboard.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Für Elise’, a constant, steady rhythm should to be maintained throughout the song.
Key on:X XX X X X X XXXXX X XX X X X X X
Melody Play MP
These songs are also relatively easy to play, especially if they are familiar to the player. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the
melody on any key of the keyboard. Singing along as the rhythm is tapped can be helpful.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’, the rhythm of the melody should be played.
* When performing fast Concert Magic songs, it may be easier to press dierent keys with two alternating ngers in order to achieve greater speed.
Key on:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Skillful SK
These songs range in diculty from moderately dicult to dicult. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and
the accompaniment notes on any key of the keyboard.
For example, when playing the piece ‘Waltz of the Flowers’, the rhythm of both the melody and the accompaniment should be
played.

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
the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in sympathetic resonance.
The KDP110 digital piano recreates this phenomenon, with the Damper Resonance setting allowing the
volume of this resonance to be changed.

Touch
As with an acoustic piano, the KDP110 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 adjusted. There are four
dierent preset touch settings available.

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause and SolutionPage no.
The instrument does not turn on.
Power
The instrument turns itself o
after a period of inactivity.
The instrument is turned on,
however no sound is produced
when the keys are played.
The sound distorts when playing
at very loud volume levels.
Sound
Strange sounds or noises are
heard when playing with piano
sounds.
Check that the power cable is rmly attached to the instrument,
and connected to an AC outlet.
Check that the ‘Auto Power O’ function is not enabled.p. 38
Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is not set to the lowest
position.
Check that a pair of headphones (or headphone adaptor plug) are
not connected to the PHONES jack.
Check that Local Control is enabled in the MIDI Settings menu.
Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate
level, reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard.
The KDP110 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as
possible. This includes damper resonances and other subtle
eects that contribute to the overall piano playing experience.
While these additional eects are intended to enhance
the realism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their
prominence, or disable them altogether using the sound settings.

Pedals
The top 18 notes of the
keyboard sustain for longer than
neighbouring notes, even when
the damper pedal is not pressed.
The instrument is connected to
the computer using a USB cable
(or a USB-MIDI adaptor), however
the software does not respond
to key presses.
The instrument cannot connect
to the smart device/app via
USB MIDI, MIDI, Bluetooth® MIDI
Bluetooth.
Check that the pedal cable is rmly connected to the instrument.p. 46
Check that the pedal support bolt is fully extended.p. 46
This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the
undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic
grand piano.
Check that a USB MIDI driver is installed on the computer.
Check that ‘USB Audio Device’ or ‘KAWAI USB MIDI’ is selected in
the software’s input/output device settings.
Check that the instrument is not connected to a smart device
using Bluetooth MIDI.
Check that the instrument’s Bluetooth MIDI function is turned On.
Ensure that the mobile device’s Bluetooth function is turned On.
