IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
301
• 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.
302
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours
of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for
concern.
307
• 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
• During operation, this device must be placed at a distance of
no less than 10 cm from any walls.
351
• 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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
• 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.
354b
• 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.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature 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.
356
• 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.
358
• 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.
359
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.
Maintenance
401b
• 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.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory
may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data
should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a
sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to
memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be
possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
553
• 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.
556
• 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.
557
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during
normal operation.
558a
• 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).
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-
absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so
can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead
to malfunction.
560
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use
of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,
or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
927
• 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 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)

Main features
■
Reproduces the beautiful sound of the harpsichord
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 faithfully reproduce 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.
You can also select and play the sound of an early fortepiano, or the completely new “Dynamic Harpsichord,” which lets you utilize
expressive dynamics and the damper pedal while still enjoying the classic sound of the harpsichord.
In addition to harpsichord sounds and celesta sounds, you can also choose from positive organ sounds, which are indispensable to
performance of early music.
■
A keyboard with click
The keyboard has a sense of click just like an acoustic harpsichord, so you can use it for practicing with a completely natural feel.
■
Five temperaments to support historically correct tuning
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 Key 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-30 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 also use a single button to easily switch to Baroque pitch (A = 415.0 Hz) or Versailles pitch (A = 392.0 Hz).
■
Reverb that enhances the rich acoustics of chamber music
The built-in digital reverb lets you choose a variety of reverberation, ranging from a small room to a large hall. You can perform using
acoustics that are appropriate for the space you're in.
■
Adjust the volume 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.
■
Compact form that encompasses both tradition and functionality
While reflecting the historical tradition of the harpsichord, the C-30 provides the advantage of light weight and compact form.
Since the main body can be detached from the stand, transportation and setup are easy.
