About the rhythm function

This unit contains many built-in rhythms in various musical styles, such as jazz and

rock.

What the [x (Variation)] [y(Intro/Ending)] [s (Start/Stop)] Buttons Do

Rhythms include not only drum sounds, but also accompaniments featuring

instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, and strings.

You can also add intros and endings to your rhythms, and insert ll-ins. These

features make it easy to develop eective and expressive rhythmic accompaniment.

Rhythm Flow

Intro

Accompaniment

Ending

There are two types of rhythms: original accompaniment patterns, and variation

accompaniment patterns, which embellish the original patterns.

It can be eective to use the quieter original patterns in the rst half of the song, and

then use the variation patterns in the latter half, when you want to build excitement.

How to play chords

When a chord is played on the keyboard, a rhythm based

on the chord that was played is sounded. (When the keys

marked with “ ” in the illustration are played, the result is

recognized as “C.”)

Note that it is not necessary to press all of the constituent notes of the chord; chords

can be specied using simple ngering. (When the key marked with “

” in the

illustration is played, it is recognized as “C.”)

For details, refer to “Chord Recognition When Split Is On” (p. 12), and the “Chord

Fingering List” at the rear of this manual.

you press the pedal. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the strings for notes other

than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. This

unit simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

Sostenuto pedal

This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already pressed when you pressed the pedal.

Soft pedal

This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not

as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an

acoustic piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.

Adjuster

Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in rm

contact with the oor. In particular, when you’ve placed

the piano on carpet, you must turn the adjuster until it is

pressing rmly against the oor.

Bluetooth indicator

PHONES Jacks

Since this unit has two headphone jacks,

two people can also use headphones

simultaneously.

A Headphones 3D Ambience eect will be

applied, producing the sensation that the

sound is emanating from the piano itself

even when using headphones (p. 11).

Disabling the Buttons ( Panel Lock)

When you activate Panel Lock, all buttons other than [Volume] are disabled.

This prevents the tones or settings from being changed if you inadvertently

press a button.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause/Action

Even though

you’re using

headphones

and the sound

is muted, a

thumping sound

is heard when

you play the

keyboard

This unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an

acoustic piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For this

reason, you’ll hear the hammers thump when you play the keyboard,

just as you would when playing an acoustic piano. Since this unit

allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound of the

hammers in certain situations, but this does not indicate a malfunc-

tion. If vibration transmitted to the oor or walls is a concern, you may

be able to minimize the vibration by moving the piano away from the

wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat

designed for use with pianos.

Power turns o

on its own

When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this

unit, the power will turn o automatically. (This is the factory setting.)

If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the “Auto

O” setting o (p. 13).

Power does not

turn on

Is the AC adaptor connected correctly? (p. 9)

Pedal does

not work, or is

“stuck”

Is the pedal connected correctly?

Plug the cord rmly into the pedal connector (p. 9).

If you disconnect the pedal cord from the unit while the power is on,

the pedal eect may remain “stuck” in the On condition.

You must power-o the unit before connecting or disconnecting the

pedal cord.

Could Twin Piano be turned on?

If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will aect only the right-hand

keyboard zone and the left pedal will aect only the left-hand

keyboard zone (p. 3).

Could you have changed the function of the pedal

(

F0g

F10

)? (p. 12)

Could you be using the page-turning function? (p. 14)

Insucient

volume

Could the volume limit setting have lowered the maximum volume?

The volume can’t be louder than the specied volume limit. Change

the volume limit setting (p. 13).

The volume

level of the

instrument

connected to

Input jack is too

low

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

No sound/No

sound when

you play back a

song

Could the unit’s volume or the volume of the connected equipment be

turned down?

Could headphones be connected?

Could there be a plug inserted in a headphone jack?

The speakers will not produce sound if headphones or plug are

connected to the headphone jacks (p. 9).

Has Local Control been set to “O”?

When Local Control is set to O, no sound is produced on the

keyboard. Set Local Control to On (p. 12).

Not all the notes

you play are

sounded

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you’re using

the Dual tone (p. 2), if you’re playing along with a song, or if you’re

making extensive use of the damper pedal, the performance data may

exceed the available polyphony, possibly causing some of the notes

you play to drop out.

Problem Cause/Action

Pitch of the

keyboard or

song is incorrect

Could you have made Transpose settings? (p. 11)

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? (p. 10)

The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method

(stretched tuning), which makes upper-range notes slightly higher in

pitch, and lower-range notes slightly lower in pitch. For this reason,

you might perceive the pitch as being incorrect, but this is the way an

acoustic piano should sound.

Sounds are

heard twice

(doubled) when

the keyboard is

played

Could you have selected a dual tone? (p. 2)

When this unit is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local

Control to o. Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru

feature is O (p. 12).

Reverberation

remains even

though you’ve

turned o the

Ambience eect

The piano sounds of this digital piano faithfully simulate the sense of

depth and resonance of an acoustic piano. For this reason, it may seem

as though there is some reverberation even when the Ambience eect

is turned o.

The sound

of the higher

notes suddenly

changes from a

certain key

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves

of notes at the upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding

regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat

dierent tonal character.

This unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On

this unit, the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change

according to the transpose setting.

High-pitched

ringing is heard

If you hear this in headphones:

Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substan-

tial high-frequency components that may sound as though a metallic

ringing has been added. This is because the characteristics of an actual

piano are being faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This

ringing is more obtrusive if the ambience eect is applied heavily, so

you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the ambience.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within

the unit). Please contact your dealer, the nearest Roland Service Center,

or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information.”

Sound wrong, or

are buzzy

If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be

distorted depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down

the volume.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects

near the unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also

resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for

lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the following measures

to minimize resonances.

• Locate this unit 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other

surfaces.

• Keep the volume down.

• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

If you hear this in headphones:

It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer,

the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor,

as listed on the “Information.”

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

Concerning the Auto O function

The power to this unit will

be turned o automatically

after a predetermined

amount of time has passed

since it was last used for

playing music, or its buttons or controls

were operated (Auto O function). If you

do not want the power to be turned o

automatically, disengage the Auto O

function (p. 13).

Use only the supplied AC adaptor

and the correct voltage

Be sure to use only the AC

adaptor supplied with the

unit. Also, make sure the line

voltage at the installation

matches the input voltage

specied on the AC adaptor’s body.

Other AC adaptors may use a dierent

polarity, or be designed for a dierent

voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

Use only the supplied power cord

Use only the attached power

cord. Also, the supplied

power cord must not be

used with any other device.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

• Do not allow lighting devices that

normally are used while their light

source is very close to the unit (such as

a piano light), or powerful spotlights to

shine upon the same area of the unit

for extended periods of time. Excessive

heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top

of the keyboard. This can be the cause

of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to

produce sound.

Maintenance

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth;

or one that is slightly dampened. Try

to wipe the entire surface using an

equal amount of strength, moving the

cloth along with the grain of the wood.

Rubbing too hard in the same area can

damage the nish.

Care of the Keyboard

• Do not write on the keyboard with

any pen or other implement, and

do not stamp or place any marking

on the instrument. Ink will seep

into the surface lines and become

unremovable.

• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard.

You may be unable to remove stickers

that use strong adhesives, and the

adhesive may cause discoloration.

• To remove stubborn dirt, use a

commercially available keyboard

cleaner that does not contain

abrasives. Start by wiping lightly.

If the dirt does not come o, wipe

using gradually increasing amounts

of pressure while taking care not to

scratch the keys.

Repairs and Data

• Before sending the unit away for

repairs, be sure to make a backup of

the data stored within it; or you may

prefer to write down the needed

information. Although we will do our

utmost to preserve the data stored in

your unit when we carry out repairs, in

some cases, such as when the memory

section is physically damaged,

restoration of the stored content may

be impossible. Roland assumes no

liability concerning the restoration of

any stored content that has been lost.

Additional Precautions

• Any data stored within the unit can be

lost as the result of equipment failure,

incorrect operation, etc. To protect

yourself against the irretrievable loss

of data, try to make a habit of creating

regular backups of the data you’ve

stored in the unit.

• Roland assumes no liability concerning

the restoration of any stored content

that has been lost.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure

to the display.

• The sound of keys being struck and

vibrations produced by playing

an instrument can be transmitted

through a oor or wall to an

unexpected extent. Please take care

not to cause annoyance to others

nearby.

• Do not apply undue force to the music

stand while it is in use.

• Do not use connection cables that

contain a built-in resistor.

• Do not hang anything other than

headphones on the headphone hook.

Do not apply undue force to the hook.

Otherwise, you risk damaging the

hook.

precautions when handling external

memory devices. Also, make sure to

carefully observe all the precautions

that were supplied with the external
