IMPORTANT NOTES

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.

6

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Do not insert anything other than USB memory (e.g., wire,
coins, other types of device) into the USB memory connector.
Doing so will damage the USB memory port.

• Do not apply excessive force to the connected USB memory
or the C-200’s USB Memory port.

• Attach the USB memory cover when you’re not using USB
memory.

• Never connect your USB memory to the C-200 via a USB hub.

Storage devices that can be connected
to the C-200’s USB port

• The C-200 allows you to connect commercially available USB
Flash memory. You can purchase such devices at a computer
store, a digital camera dealer, etc.

• Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We cannot
guarantee operation if any other USB memory is used.

• All product names mentioned in this document are trade­marks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

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.

Getting Ready to Play

Placing the C-200 on a stand

If you place the C-200 on a stand, you must use the CKS-C200 or the KS-12 (sold separately).

•When placing the C-200 on the stand, be careful not to pinch your fingers between the instrument and the stand.

•When lifting the C-200 onto the stand, make sure to enlist the help of at least one other person.

• Using the C-200 with any other stand may produce an unstable situation, possibly causing the instrument to fall or overturn,
and resulting in injury or damage.

• For details on how to assemble the stand, refer to the owner’s manual that accompanied the stand.

Placing on the CKS-C200 stand

1.

Align the screws on the bottom of the C-200 (one each at left and right) with the metal brackets on the side boards of
CKS-C200 stand, and while keeping the front of the instrument slightly raised, pull it toward yourself to engage the

screws in the metal brackets.

We recommended the Bench BNC-23-BK when using an optional
PK-25A pedal keyboard with CKS-C200 stand.

We recommended the Bench BNC-15-BK when using an optional
PK-5A or PK-7A pedal keyboard with CKS-C200 stand.

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)

Choosing a sound

The C-200 provides five separate sound divisions: Organ and orchestra (PEDAL, MANUAL I, MANUAL II), Harpsichord,
Fortepiano, Piano and Celesta. Only one of the following sections can be used at any one time: Organ or Harpsichord or
Fortepiano or Piano or Celesta.

Playing the MANUAL I division

The C-200 comes with 28 organ and 8 orches­tral voices that can be selected using the 7 tilt
tabs (PRINCIPAL~USER ORCH). There are 4
organ voices per tilt tab, one of which can be
assigned at a time (see p. 32). The USER
ORCH tilt tab not only allows you to select
one of 4 organ voices, but also one of 8 orchestral sounds.

1. Press the lower part of the tilt tabs you wish to use.

The tilt tabs you activate light. You can activate several sounds at once if you like.

2. To switch off the selected organ sounds, press the upper part of all tilt tabs that are lit.

Playing <Basic Operation>

Adding the MANUAL II division

The C-200’s MANUAL II division can be added to the MANUAL I division. (You can also play it via separate keys, see
below.) The MANUAL II division provides 20 organ and 8 orchestral sounds that can be selected using the 5 tilt tabs (STILL
GEDACKT~USER ORCH). The USER ORCH tilt tab not only allows you to select one of 4 organ voices, but also one of 8
orchestral sounds. When active, the MANUAL II division performs the function of the Swell manual on a church organ. The
MANUAL I division, for its part, replaces the Great section.

Let us first look at how to couple those two sections, which means that they are played together.

1. Press the lower part of the [II/I] tilt tab (the

“coupler”) in the MANUAL I division to
switch it on.

Its indicator lights to signal that you can now
add a second division to the MANUAL I reg­istration. This simulates the coupling of two
manuals on a church organ.

When you switch on the C-200, this II/I coupler is automatically activated.

2. Press the lower part of the MANUAL II tilt

tab you wish to use.

If the indicator of a tab lights, the correspond­ing register is audible. You can activate as
many registers as you like. It is also possible
to switch off all MANUAL I registers (except
[II/I]) and only use one or several MANUAL
II registers to simulate a church organ’s Swell
manual.

3. To switch off the selected sounds, press the upper part of all tilt tabs that are lit.

Playing the MANUAL I and II divisions with separate hands

If you prefer, you can assign the MANUAL I
division to the left half of the keyboard and the
MANUAL II division to the right half.

1. Press the upper part of the [II/I] tilt tab (the

“coupler”) in the MANUAL I division to
switch it off.

Its indicator goes dark.

2. Press the lower part of the MANUAL I tilt

tabs you wish to use.

The tilt tabs you press in this way light. You can switch on as many tilt tabs as you like.

3. Press the lower part of the MANUAL II tilt tabs you wish to use.

The tilt tabs you press in this way light. You can switch on as many tilt tabs as you like.

Playing <Basic Operation>

Using the Tremulant to add expression

A “tremulant” creates a change in pitch
(vibrato), amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone
quality). The use of the tremulant adds warmth
and expressiveness to solo or small ensemble
combinations. It is not common to use
tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some
romantic ensembles, tremulants are used
judiciously. In some gospel and evangelical
musical traditions, tremulants with a wider and
deeper excursion are frequently used.

The C-200 provides a tremulant function for the MANUAL II division. It only affects the tilt tabs of that division (and requires
that you switch on at least one tilt tab).

The TREMULANT status can be saved to one of the memories.

Playing the PEDAL division

The C-200 features a PEDAL division that can either be played via the keyboard or with an optional PK-5A, PK-7 or PK-25
dynamic MIDI pedal unit (see p. 40). (Roland recommends connecting the pedal keyboard to the C-200’s PK IN socket.)

Here again, there are 4 organ voices for each tab. And again, one of those voices can be assigned to the tilt tab in question (see
p. 32). The USER ORCH tilt tab not only allows you to select one of 4 organ voices, but also one of 8 orchestral sounds.

If you only use the keyboard (without a pedal
unit), the PEDAL division is monophonic and
doubles the lowest note you play using the
MANUAL I and/or MANUAL II stops.

Range of the monophonic bass part

Range of the Manual I and/or II divisions

1. Press the lower part of the PEDAL tilt tabs

you wish to use.

Now you can play the selected bass sound.
Inside the “BASS” range, the bass sound is
added to the sounds selected for MANUAL I
and MANUAL II (if the [Coupler II/I] tilt tab
lights). It sounds the lowest note you play with your left hand (it is monophonic).

2. To switch off the selected PEDAL sound, press the upper part of the tilt tab that lights.

The tilt tab goes dark.

By connecting an optional PK-5A, PK-7A or PK-25A MIDI pedal board to the C-200’s PK IN connector, you can play the bass organ part in
polyphonic mode. In that case, the left half of the C-200’s keyboard no longer triggers the PEDAL part.

Playing <Basic Operation>

Selecting a classical tuning (Pitch)

If you’re playing the C-200 together with other instruments in an ensemble, you can adjust the pitch of the C-200 to match the
other instruments if necessary.

• You can adjust the C-200’s reference pitch by choosing one of four fixed settings: 465Hz (Venetian pitch), 440Hz (default),
415Hz (Baroque pitch), or 392Hz (Versailles pitch).

•When you turn on the power, the pitch is set to 440Hz (the “440Hz” indicator lights).

◆ Press the [Pitch] button repeatedly until the

indicator of the desired pitch lights.

Selecting a temperament

The C-200 allows you to easily change the temperament. By using historical temperaments to play music that is appropriate for
the characteristics of each temperament, you can more strongly bring out the beauty or tension inherent in a composition. In
particular, when playing a composition that uses a transposable temperament and includes transpositions, the sonority of the
chords will change when a transposition occurs, creating subtle changes in the coloration of the piece.

“Werckmeister” is a temperament that combines Meantone and Pythagorean scales to enhance the degree of transposability, and
has been used ever since Bach up to the present. “Kirnberger” was conceived using similar methods, and is used mainly when
playing the organ works of Bach.

“Vallotti” is the most recent of the temperaments described here. It is close to equal temperament, but since it is somewhat pure,
it blends easily with other instruments, and today is often used in ensembles.

Meantone was popular throughout Europe during the Baroque era, and was used customarily by Baroque musicians such as
Handel as well as in compositions of the Renaissance period.

◆ Press the [Temperament] button repeatedly

until the indicator of the desired tempera­ment lights.

If you proceed past Meantone, you will
“wrap around” to Equal.

The [Temperament] button only lights when a
temperament other than “Equal” is selected.

“Equal” will be selected every time the power is turned on.

Equal
Werckmeister
Kirnberger

Changing the pitch of the keyboard (Transpose)

You can transpose your playing without changing the position at which you play the keys. For example, if you’re playing a song
in a difficult key signature that contains numerous sharps (#) or flats (b), you can transpose the pitch of the keyboard and play
the piece in an easier key.

1. Press and hold the [Pitch] button until the indicator on

the button starts flashing in green.

2. While holding down the [Pitch] button, play the tonic

note of the key to which you want to transpose the
keyboard.

3. Release the [Pitch] button.

If this is set to any key other than C, the [Pitch] button
will light green.

For example, if you want the Eb pitch to sound when you
play the C key, hold down the [Pitch] button and press
the Eb key.

4. To return the keyboard to its normal state, hold down

the [Pitch] button and press a C key.

The [Pitch] button goes dark to indicate that the key­board is no longer transposed.

* You can transpose the keyboard in a range of five semitones

upward (F) or six semitones downward (F#) relative to C.

* You can specify the transpose setting by pressing a key of any

octave.

C4

Immediately after you turn on the power, the key
transpose setting will be in the normal state.

Matching the pitch of another instrument (Tuning)

If you’re playing the C-200 together with other instruments in an ensemble, you can adjust the pitch of the C-200 to match the
other instruments if necessary.

•When you turn on the power, the tuning is set to
A= 440Hz (for the A above middle C).

◆ While holding down the [Pitch] button, turn the [Tone]

knob.

Turn the knob clockwise to raise the overall pitch, or
counterclockwise to lower it.

Do not press and hold the [Pitch] button for too long to
avoid activating Transpose mode. (Otherwise, press a C
key on the keyboard to leave Transpose mode and repeat
this step.)

Immediately after you turn on the power, the tuning will
be in the normal state (A= 440Hz).

• The center position of the knob corresponds to the
following:

• 465Hz if the “465Hz” indicator lights (Venetian pitch)

• 440Hz if the “440Hz” indicator lights (Normal pitch)

• 415Hz if the “415Hz” indicator lights (Baroque pitch)

• 392Hz if the “392Hz” indicator lights (Versailles pitch).

variations or one of the 8 available orchestral sounds. See
p. 45 for a complete list of the available voices. To select
a different voice for one of the tilt tabs, proceed as fol­lows:

1. Press and hold the lower part of the tilt tab for which

you wish to select a different voice.

If you press a tilt tab other than [USER/ORCH]: After a few
seconds, the tilt tab flashes and one of the 4 pistons at the
center of the front panel lights steadily to indicate which
organ voice is currently assigned to that tilt tab. (The
other 3 pistons flash.)

2. To choose a different voice, press the desired piston.

The piston you press lights, while the remaining pistons
flash. You can play on the keyboard to audition the voice
you selected. See p. 45 for the available sounds.

Additional Convenient Functionality <Advanced Operation>

Using the C-200’s internal recorder

The C-200 contains a “Song Recorder” function you can use to record your own performances that you can save (and play back)
as many songs as the optional USB memory device connected to the USB Memory port will hold, for a maximum of 99 songs.
The recorder not only memorizes the notes you play, but also the sounds you use (organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, piano, etc.).

Recording

1. Select the sound(s) you want to use for your recording.

See p. 21 and following for details.

The C-200 has only one internal song memory. If you
already recorded another song since switching on the
C-200, that song will be erased without warning when
you perform the next step. To keep that song, you need
to save it before continuing. See “Saving your song to an
optional USB memory” on p. 35. Also note that your last
recording (in the temporary memory) is erased when
you switch off the C-200.

2. Press the [REC] piston (it flashes red).

While the C-200 is recording, it is impossible to assign
different voices to the PEDAL, MANUAL I or
MANUAL II tilt tabs (Voice Palette).

5. Press the [STOP] piston to stop recording and return to

the beginning of the song.

The [PLAY/PAUSE] and [REC] pistons go dark.
The C-200 now processes your recording, which may

take a few seconds.

Once the memory has become full, recording stops auto­matically.

Press the [STOP] piston if decide not to record.

3. You can now activate the recording in 2 ways:

• By pressing a key on the keyboard: The [PLAY/PAUSE]
and [REC] pistons light and the recording will begin
immediately.

• By pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] piston: The [PLAY/
PAUSE] piston lights. The [REC] piston continues to flash
during four beats (count-in). After the last flash, the
[REC] piston lights steadily and recording starts.

Your recording is erased when you switch off the C-200
or load another song. You can, however, save it to an
optional USB memory (see p. 35).

4. Start playing.

Feel free to select different sounds and sections while
recording. All changes will be performed when you play
back your recording.

Additional Convenient Functionality <Advanced Operation>

Playing back your recorded song

To listen to your new (or a previously recorded) song, proceed as follows:

1. Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] piston (it lights) to start

playback.

To temporarily stop playback, press [PLAY/PAUSE]
again (the piston flashes). Press it again to resume play­back from where you halted it.

2. Press the [STOP] piston to stop playback and return to

the beginning of your song.

The [PLAY/PAUSE] piston goes dark.

The recorded song data are transmitted to the C-200’s
MIDI Out port.

Saving your song to an optional USB memory

At first, the C-200 uses a temporary memory for the data you record. That memory is erased when you redo your recording,
load another song or when you switch off the C-200. Therefore, you need to save recordings you want to keep and play back at a
later stage. To this end, the C-200 provides a USB Memory port located on the rear panel. The C-200 allows you to save up to 99
songs to an optional USB memory.

1. Insert the optional USB memory into the C-200’s USB

Memory port.

Carefully insert the USB memory all the way into the
port until it is firmly in place.

2. Hold down the [REC] piston until the [STILL

GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab starts flashing.

See the numbers on the tilt tabs. (The [USER/ORCH]
(“10”) tilt tab is used to enter the number “0”.)

Example: To enter “01”, press the [USER/ORCH] and
[SUBBASS] tilt tabs. The [USER/ORCH] (“10”) and
[SUBBASS] (“1”) tilt tabs flash sequentially to indicate
that you have entered the value “01”.

To enter “39”, press [USER/ORCH] (“3”) and [TRUM­PET] (“9”) in that order. The [USER/ORCH] (“3”) and
[TRUMPET] (“9”) tilt tabs flash sequentially.

A similar flashing pattern is also used for any other
number you select here.

The C-200 uses the number you selected as file name to
save your song to the optional USB memory.

Never remove a USB memory while the C-200’s power is
on. Doing so may corrupt the C-200’s data or the data on
the USB memory.

3. Enter a number between “01” and “99” using the

PEDAL and MANUAL I tilt tabs.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

4. Press the lower part of the [STILL GEDACKT 8]

(ENTER) tilt tab to save your recording.

The C-200 saves the song, and the tilt tabs of the last con­figuration you have been using light. The song is saved
to the “C200/SONG” folder on the USB memory. If that
folder does not yet exist, it will be created automatically.

35

Additional Convenient Functionality <Advanced Operation>

If the file name with a number you selected already
exists, the [STILL GEDACKT 8] tilt tab and the [STOP],
[PLAY/PAUSE], and [REC] pistons start flashing. You
can overwrite the “old” song on your USB memory by
pressing [STILL GEDACKT 8] again.
To select a different number, enter it using the PEDAL
and MANUAL I tilt tabs and press [STILL GEDACKT 8]
again.

Never remove the USB memory while the C-200 is sav­ing data.

Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We can­not guarantee operation if any other USB memory is
used.

Playing back songs on an optional USB memory

You can play back the songs stored on an optional USB memory connected to the C-200. Given the possibility to work with
external USB memories, you might be tempted to copy Standard MIDI Files to that device (using your computer, for instance)
and play them back using the C-200.

The C-200 does not conform to the GS standard or General MIDI format. Songs not specifically prepared with/for the C-200 may
therefore use the wrong sounds.

1. While holding down the [Function] piston, press the

[STOP/Song] tilt tab until the [STILL GEDACKT 8]
(ENTER) tilt tab starts flashing.

The song you selected is loaded, and the tilt tabs of the
configuration used in that song light up.

If you select a song number that doesn’t exist on the USB
memory, [STOP], [PLAY/PAUSE], and [REC] start flash­ing. In that case, enter a different number and repeat step
(3) above.

You can also simply hold down the [PLAY/PAUSE] pis­ton until the [STILL GEDACKT 8] (ENTER) tilt tab starts
flashing.

2. Enter a number between “01” and “99” using the

PEDAL and MANUAL I tilt tabs.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

See the numbers on the tilt tabs. (The [USER/ORCH]
(“10”) tilt tab is used to enter the number “0”.)

Example: To enter “01”, press the [USER/ORCH] and
[SUBBASS] tilt tabs. The [USER/ORCH] (“10”) and
[SUBBASS] (“1”) tilt tabs flash sequentially to indicate
that you have entered the value “01”.

3. Press the lower part of the [STILL GEDACKT 8]

(ENTER) tilt tab to confirm your selection.

4. Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] piston to start playback.

The [PLAY/PAUSE] piston lights and playback starts.

5. Press [PLAY/PAUSE] again to temporarily halt

playback (it flashes). Press it again to continue
playback from that point.

6. Press [STOP] to stop playback and return to the

beginning of the song.

Use USB memory sold by Roland (M-UF-series). We can­not guarantee operation if any other USB memory is
used.
