The RE-210 gives you easy access to KURZWEIL's high-quality sound technology. Authentic
digital representations of musical instrument sounds are the starting points. The RE-210
reproduces the finest details of the original sounds; you'll even hear differences in tone as you
play from bass to treble, and from soft and loud, just as in the original instruments.
The Features of the RE-210
88 notes, Hammer type keys
Three Pedals
7 different types of keyboard touch sensitivity

Cautions
CHECK AFTER ASSEMBLY
Are any parts left over? : If any parts are left over, check the diagrams to see where they
should be used.
Are any of the assembly screws loose? : Make sure that all screws are tight.
Caution when moving
Take the piano off the stand, and transport the stand and piano separately. After moving them
refer to this manual, and re-assemble the stand and piano.
Loosened screws
After the stand and piano are assembled, the screws of the stand may become loose after
extended use, causing the stand to wobble. If this occurs, re-tighten each of the screws in the
stand.
Disassembly
To remove the piano and disassemble the stand, reverse the order of assembly.
After desassembly, store all parts such as the screws so that they will not be lost.

Turning on the Instrument (Power)
Listen to the Demo Songs
The RE-210 operates on AC power. A power cord is included with the instrument to connect it
to an AC Outlet. Before connecting the power cord, be sure that the power switch, located
under the left-hand end of the keyboard, is off. Then plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Once the power cord is connected, you can turn the power switch on.
After the power switch is turned on, it will take about 2 seconds before the front panel lights
up. An additional 3 seconds is needed before it is ready to play.
The RE-210 contains a number of built-in demonstrations to acquaint you with
the sound and capabilities it possesses. To access these demonstrations, press the
Demo
button, which is located near the right end of the front panel controls, in
the Options section. The button lights up to show that the RE-210 is in the
demonstration mode.
To listen to the demo songs for the preset sounds

to hear a demonstration of the sound. The

Setting the Volume
To be sure that you can hear the instrument, move the Volume knob (on the left end of the
front panel) to the middle of its range. This should provide a reasonably comfortable level of
volume, which you can adjust if you wish the sound to be louder or softer.
To listen to the Piano Demo Songs
There are 50 piano demo songs available. The number on the display indicates
the current song number that ranges from 1 to 50. Select a song by pressing the

The Keyboard and Pedals
The Keyboard
The keyboard of the RE-210 consists of 88 weighted keys with an action designed to simulate
the feel of an acoustic piano. Just as with an acoustic piano, the harder you press the keys of
the RE-210 (more precisely, the faster you strike them), the louder and brighter the resulting
sound is. In technical terms, this is called "velocity sensitivity". It makes the RE-210 a truly
expressive instrument. See page 35 for information on adjusting the velocity sensitivity to suit
your preference (NOTE: The organ and harpsichord sounds purposely aren't velocity-sensitive,
in order to be more realistic; real organ and harpsichords aren't velocity-sensitive.)
Sound Select
The Sound Select portion of the front panel contains buttons used for selecting the individual
sounds available on the RE-210 Digital Piano. You select a sound by pressing the
corresponding button; the light in the button illuminates to show you which sound is selected.
There are 17 Sound Select buttons. On power-up, the Grand Piano is selected.
The Pedals
SOFT SOSTENUTO SUSTAIN
In addition to the expressiveness offered by the keyboard, there are three pedals
that provide you with further control over the sounds of the RE-210. These
pedals have the same function as those on a grand piano, which are, from left to
right:
SOFT
SOSTENUTO
SUSTAIN
Notes played while this pedal is down sound softer than those
played when the pedal is up.
Keys that are already held down at the time this pedal is
pressed will sustain while any keys played after the pedal is
down will not.
Pressing this pedal causes all notes to sustain, or gradually fade
out, even when you lift your fingers from the keys.
Variation
Each Sound Button actually can select two different sounds. To access the second sound, press
the
Variation
second sound for the active sound button is selected. Pressing the Variation button again will
select the original sound.
Each of the Sound Select buttons "remembers" whether or not
that sound was selected; so if you select the variation for a particular sound, then select a
different sound button, then return to the first sound, the variation will automatically be
selected again (This variation memory is reset when you execute Hard Reset in the RE-210.)
1. Press the Pipe Organ button. Play a few notes on the keyboard.
2. Press the Variation button. Notice that the button illuminates. Play a few notes
again to hear the difference in the sound.
3. Press the Electric Organ button. Notice that the Variation button is no longer
illuminated. Play a few notes.
4. Press the Pipe Organ again. Notice that the Variation button re-illuminates. Play a
