these internal songs as models, or adjust the tempo and practice along with them.

Practice one hand at a time

By playing back a song with the sound of the right-hand or left-hand part muted, you can hear the performance one hand at a time.

This also lets you practice along with the song one hand at a time.

Record your performance

You can listen again to your own performance that you just recorded, and use it to improve your next performance. You can also save

your performance for your family member or piano teacher to hear.

Take advantage of Bluetooth

and push it away from yourself.

NOTE

top of the keyboard cover, do not open the cover. Otherwise,

such objects may slip inside the instrument, and then become

irrecoverable.

Closing the Keyboard Cover

1. Grasp and gently lower the edge of the keyboard

cover with both hands.

NOTE

• When opening / closing the keyboard cover or you operate

the pedals, please be careful not to get your ngers pinched

between the movable part and the unit. In places where

small children are present, make sure that an adult provides

supervision and guidance.

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

Using the keyboard cover to conceal the panel (Classic Position)

If you raise the keyboard cover slowly, it stops at a position that

hides the buttons and the display. If you use the cover to hide the

operation panel, you’ll be able to play as though you were playing

an acoustic piano. When you push the cover further inward and up,

it stops in a position where the operation panel is visible.

Using the Music rest

1. Loosen the music rest screws slightly (2–3 mm), insert the

music rest brackets between the screws and the body of the

piano, and turn the screws to secure the music rest while

using one hand to support the music rest.

When attaching the music rest, make sure that it is rmly

inserted all the way toward the back, and use your hand to

support the music rest so that it does not fall. Also take care not

to pinch your hand.

* Do not apply excessive force to the music rest.

* If you need to remove the music rest, loosen the screws while

using one hand to support the music rest. Detach the music rest,

and then rmly retighten the screws.

Using the Pedals

By pressing the pedals, you can apply eects to the sound of the piano.

Soft pedal

Sostenuto pedal

Damper pedal

(right)

Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While

this pedal is held down, notes will be

sustained for an extended time even if you

release your ngers from the keyboard.

The resonance of the sound is aected by

how deeply you press the pedal.

Sostenuto pedal

(center)

The notes you are pressing when this

pedal is depressed will be sustained.

Soft pedal

(left)

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. The softness of the

tone can be varied subtly by the depth to

which you press the pedal.

* When opening / closing the keyboard cover or you operate the pedals, please

be careful not to get your ngers pinched between the movable part and

the unit. In places where small children are present, make sure that an adult

provides supervision and guidance.

NOTE

Under the pedals there is an adjuster for securing

the pedals. As you use the piano, the adjuster

might creep upward, allowing the pedals to

wobble when you step on them. If this occurs,

turn the adjuster to lower it into rm contact with

the oor. In particular if the piano is placed on

carpet, you should lower the adjuster so that it

rmly presses down on the oor.

Using the Headphones

Use headphones if you want to perform without the sound being

heard nearby. This piano has two headphone jacks, two people can

also use headphones simultaneously.

1. Connect headphones to the headphone jacks located

on the bottom panel.

Stereo 1/4”

the piano’s speakers.

2. Use the Volume buttons to adjust the volume of the

headphones.

MEMO

sensation that the sound is emanating from the piano itself even

when using headphones (p. 20).

• Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them

on the headphone hook.

App “Piano Designer”

Item Value Explanation

Master Tuning

415.3Hz–466.2Hz

(default value:

442.0Hz)

When playing in an ensemble with other instruments, you can adjust the reference pitch of this

piano so that you will harmonize correctly with the other instruments. The reference pitch is

usually expressed as the frequency that is heard when you play the middle A (A4) note. The action

of matching the reference pitch to other instruments is called “tuning.”

Temperament

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).

Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at

one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in use

when a composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.

Equal

(default value)

This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal steps. It is the temperament that is most

commonly used on today’s pianos. Every interval has the same slight amount of dissonance.

Just Major

In these temperaments, the primary triads are perfectly consonant. It is unsuited to playing

melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. The Just tunings dier

from major and minor keys.

Just Minor

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths.

Although triadic chords are slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple

melody.

Kirnberger I

As in the Just temperaments, the primary triads are consonant in this tuning. Beautiful sonorities

are obtained when playing songs that are written in keys appropriate for this tuning.

Kirnberger II This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.

Kirnberger III

This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom

of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys. Since the resonance diers depending on

the key, chords played in this temperament resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal

temperament.

Meantone

This temperament slightly narrows the fth relative to Just temperaments. While the Just

temperaments contains two types of whole tone (major whole tone and minor whole tone),

meantone temperament uses only one type of whole tone (mean whole tone). Transposition

within a limited range of keys is possible.

Werckmeister

This temperament consists of eight perfect fths and four narrowed fths. Performance in all keys

is possible. Since dierent keys produce dierent sonorities, chords will resonate in diverse ways

when compared to equal temperament (Werckmeister I (III)).

Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Temperament Key

C–B

(default value: C)

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament

key for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major

key or to A for a minor key). If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a

temperament key.

Hammer Response

O, 1–10

(default value: 1)

Adjusts the time from when you play the key until the piano sound is heard. Higher values

produce a greater delay.

selected when you play back a song whose le format is SMF.

Changing this setting does not aect the sound character of tone that you play from the keyboard.

* You can also switch the SMF Play Mode by holding down the [s] button and turning the [

] knob.

Auto-Select

Automatically switches the SMF Play Mode to either “Internal” or “External” depending on the song that is being played.

Internal

When you play back a song, the tone that you play from the keyboard changes to the tone that is saved in the

song. This is recommended when you play back an internal song or a song that you recorded on this piano.

External

The tone that you play from the keyboard does not change when you play back a song. This is recommended when you play

back external data such as commercially available music data.

* With this setting, some eects might not apply to the song playback sound.

For this reason, the character of the sound during playback might be dierent than the sound while you were

recording.

Transpose” settings to defeat transposition.

p. 32

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?

When shipped from the factory, the reference pitch is set to

“442.0 Hz.” Check the “Master Tuning” setting of the Piano

Designer function.

p. 25

Is the setting for the Temperament correct?

When shipped from the factory, the tuning is set to “Equal

temperament.” Check the “Temperament” setting of the Piano

Designer function.

p. 25

Is the Single Note Tuning setting

appropriate?

Check the Piano Designer function’s “Single Note settings.”

p. 26

Sounds are heard twice

(doubled) when the

keyboard is played

If the function mode “Local Control” setting is “On,” turn the

“Local Control” setting “O.”

p. 34

Reverberation remains

even if you defeat the

Ambience eect

This is because an acoustic piano’s sense of depth and resonance is being faithfully simulated, and is not a

malfunction. Even if you turn o the acoustic ambience eects, the distinctive resonance of an acoustic piano

will remain.

–

The sound of the higher

notes suddenly changes

from a certain key

This simulates the characteristics of an acoustic piano, and is not a malfunction.

The sound will change where there is a change in the number of strings per key or a transition from wound

strings to unwound strings.

–

When you press a key,

the sound of a note

you didn’t press is also

faintly heard

In some cases, a note you play might

cause a dierent note (whose frequency

is an integer multiple of the rst note)

to resonate, producing the sensation

that the sound has changed; this is not a

malfunction.

Lower the Piano Designer’s “String Resonance” value, or turn it

o.

About WARNING and CAUTION Notices

About the Symbols

ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

° IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• Place the AC adaptor so the side with the

indicator faces upwards. The indicator will

light when you plug the AC adaptor into

an AC outlet.

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.

• Depending on the material and

temperature of the surface on which you

place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor

or mar the surface (F701).

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.

• The Pedals of this unit are made of brass.

Brass eventually darkens as the result

of the natural oxidization process. If the

brass becomes tarnished, polish it using

commercially available metal polisher

(RP701).

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.

• When disposing of the packing carton

or cushioning material in which this unit

was packed, you must observe the waste

disposal regulations that apply to your

locality.

• Do not apply undue force to the music

stand while it is in use (RP701).

• Do not use connection cables that contain

a built-in resistor.

Using External Memories

• Please observe the following precautions

when handling external memory devices.

Also, make sure to carefully observe all the

precautions that were supplied with the

external memory device.

• Do not remove the device while reading/writing

is in progress.

• To prevent damage from static electricity,

discharge all static electricity from your person

before handling the device.
