Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” (p. 4) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 6). These sections provide
important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every
feature provided by your new unit, owner’s manual should be read in its
entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient
reference.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts
within it (except when this manual provides
specific instructions directing you to do so).
Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
•When using the unit with a rack or stand recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be
carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain
stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make
sure that any location you choose for placing the unit
provides a level surface that will properly support the
unit, and keep it from wobbling.
•Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is
level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on
stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

The ● symbol alerts the user to things that must be
carried out. The specific thing that must be done is
indicated by the design contained within the circle. In
the case of the symbol at left, it means that the powercord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.
• 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 specified on
the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may
use a different polarity, or be designed for a
different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord,
nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can
damage the cord, producing severed elements
and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and
shock hazards!
• This unit, either alone or in combination with an
amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be
capable of producing sound levels that could
cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for
a long period of time at a high volume level, or at
a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience
any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should
immediately stop using the unit, and consult an
audiologist.
• Do not place containers containing liquid (e.g.
flower vases) on this product. Never allow foreign
objects (e.g., flammable objects, coins, wires) or
liquids (water, juice, etc.) to enter the C-200. Doing
so may cause short-circuits, faulty operation, or
other malfunctions.
• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC
adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page when:
• In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for the
safe operation of the unit.
• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to
share an outlet with an unreasonable number of
other devices. Be especially careful when using
extension cords—the total power used by all
devices you have connected to the extension
cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating
(watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive
loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat
up and eventually melt through.
• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as
listed on the “Information” page.
• The C-200 is intended for use only with a Roland
CKS-C200 or KS-12 stand. Use with other stands
is capable of resulting in instability causing
possible injury.
• Even if you observe the cautions given in the
owner’s manual, certain types of handling may
allow this product to fall from the stand, or cause
the stand to overturn. Please be mindful of any safety
issues before using this product.
• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC
adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe
all dust and other accumulations away from its
prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
Any accumulation of dust between the power
plug and the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
• Should you remove the screws for the music
stand, keep them in a safe place out of children’s
reach, so there is no chance of them being
swallowed accidentally.
• If you remove the screw from the ground
terminal, be sure to replace it; don’t leave it lying
around where it could accidently be swallowed
by small children. When refastening the screw, make sure
that it is firmly fastened, so it won’t come loose.
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on p. 4, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an
inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave
oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending
on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power
supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may
produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between
this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours
of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for
concern.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, 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.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it
to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on
the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• 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.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar
the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the
rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so,
please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases)
on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft
cloth.
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
finish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored on a USB storage device once it has been
lost. Roland Europe assumes no liability concerning such loss
of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-7 or EV-5; sold
separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
Using USB Memory
• When connecting USB memory, firmly insert it all the way
into the USB memory port.
• Do not touch the pins of the USB memory port, or allow them
to become dirty.
• USB memory is made using high-precision electronic components, so please observe the following points when handling
it.
• To prevent damage from static electrical charges,
discharge any static electricity that might be present in
your body before handling USB memory.
• Do not touch the terminals with your fingers or any metal
object.
• Do not bend or drop USB memory, or subject it to strong
impact.
• Do not leave USB memory in direct sunlight or in
locations such as a closed-up automobile. (Storage
temperature: 0~50°C)
• Do not allow USB memory to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify USB memory.
• When connecting USB memory, position it horizontally with
the C-200’s USB Memory port and insert it without using
excessive force. The USB memory connector may be damaged
if you use excessive force when inserting USB memory.

Main features
■
Reproduces the beautiful sound of the classic
organ, grand piano, harpsichord, fortepiano,
celesta and orchestral sounds
Grand, glorious sound is the hallmark of the classic organ. Providing a rich and spacious ensemble sound complemented by
crystal-clear definition, the C-200 will take you to new musical
heights, while sustaining the tradition of quality, craftsmanship
and innovation.
An authentic grand piano sound is included for solo and
ensemble performances. The sound-producing mechanism of
the harpsichord, the sound of the key release, and the resonance
of the sounding board have been carefully analyzed, and digital
technology is used to reproduce faithfully even the sound of the
plectrum contacting the string when a key is released. You’ll be
able to enjoy beautiful and realistic harpsichord sound.
The fortepiano, the precursor of the piano as we know it today,
produces its sounds via its strings that are struck by hammers
operated by a keyboard. The fortepiano is built entirely of
wood, the strings are struck by hammers covered in hide, producing a metallic and brilliant sound. It enabled artists to pave
new ways and therefore explore new possibilities of expression.
There is also a Celesta sound, which is similar to a glockenspiel,
but softer and rounder. In addition, there are 12 orchestral
sounds that can be used either in isolation or together with the
organ section for a richer sound.
■
Two-manual simulation
The C-200’s 76-note keyboard can be split (divided) into two
halves to simulate an instrument equipped with manual I and
manual II.
■
Coupler II/I functionality
The C-200’s coupler function allows you to play the Manual I
sound, along with the Manual II sound on the entire keyboard.
■
Five temperaments to support historically correct
tunings
In addition to equal temperament, you can choose from Werckmeister, Kirnberger, Vallotti, and Meantone, giving you five
temperaments that can be easily selected by pressing a single
button.
There’s also a Transpose function, which makes it easy to transpose the pitch for additional ways to vary your performance.
■
No maintenance and easy pitch changes
Not only will you never need to replace the plectrums or
strings, you’ll also never need to tune this instrument.
Moreover, the C-200 is not affected by vibration or changes in
humidity or temperature. You’ll always be performing with
precisely accurate pitches guaranteed by digital technology.
It’s also easy to adjust the tuning to match other instruments.
You can furthermore use a single button to easily switch to
Baroque pitch (A= 415Hz), Versailles pitch (A= 392 Hz), Venetian pitch (A= 465Hz) or the default tuning (A= 440Hz).
■
Reverb that enhances the rich acoustics of
chamber music
The built-in digital reverb lets you choose the reverberation of a
variety of environments, ranging from a small room to a large
hall. You can perform using acoustics that are appropriate for
the space you are in.
■
Adjust the volume and balance as appropriate for
your situation
Whether you’re at home, in a small hall, or in a large hall, you
can adjust the volume as appropriate for your situation or the
ensemble with whom you’re performing. You can also use
headphones, so you’ll feel free to practice at any time.
The [Balance] knob allows you to set the balance between manual II and manual I + pedal.
■
Compact form that encompasses both tradition
and functionality
While reflecting the historical tradition of the classic organ, the
C-200 provides the advantage of a light weight and compact
form.
■
Five different classical sections in one instrument
The C-200 comes with five sections for various types of classical
music: “Organ” (PEDAL, MANUAL I, MANUAL II), “Harpsichord”, “Fortepiano”, “Piano” and “Celesta”.
■
Optional pedal boards
Optional pedal boards are available for musicians in search of
full organ functionality.

Ground Terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular
setup, you may experience a discomforting
sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to
the touch when you touch this device, microphones
connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as guitars. This is due to an
infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely
harmless. However, if you are concerned about this,
connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an
external ground. When the unit is grounded, a
slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars
of your installation. If you are unsure of the
connection method, contact the nearest Roland
Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
•Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)
