IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the following:
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
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.
354a
• 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. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
355b
• 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.
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.
360
• 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.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one
that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn
dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry
cloth.
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
551
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably
lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the
unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important
data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of
important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another
MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored in the unit’s memory, or in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
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.
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).
559a
• 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.
560
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.

Sound Effects (SFX)
The E-09 contains numerous sound effects, drum, and percussion
tones (551–614). You can assign these tones to a keyboard part and
play them. These tones can be assigned to the main, split, or dual
part and played across the entire range of the keyboard.
If [SPLIT] is lit, you will probably want to set the split point
near C6 if you want to use your right hand to play sound effects
or percussion, or near C3 if you want to play these using your
left hand. (p. 22)

Playing the Sounds from the Keyboard
Transposing
You can shift the pitch of your performance without changing the
position at which you’re playing the keyboard. For example, if a
song is in a difficult key containing numerous sharps or flats, you
can transpose it so that it’s easier to play.
You can also use this function to transpose the playback of a song.
If you’re accompanying a singer, you can transpose the pitch to a
comfortable range for the singer without having to change your
keyboard fingering.
Transpose is not applied to drum sets.
1.
Press [TRANSPOSE] so it’s lit.
2.
Hold down [TRANSPOSE] for a while until the “Transpose”
screen appears.
3.
Use TEMPO [ (-)][ (+)] to adjust the transposition.
Range: -12–+12
If you set this to “0,” the transpose function will be off.
4.
To turn the transpose function off, press [TRANSPOSE] so
it goes out.
Example: The song is in the key of E major, but you want to
play it using the keyboard fingering of the key of C
The note E is four semitones (keys including the black keys)
above the note C, so you would set the transposition value to
“+4.”
fig.transpose
When you play “C, E, G”
it sounds as “E G# B”
You can save this setting in a user program. (p. 16)
Octave Setting
You can raise or lower the pitch of the tone for each keyboard part
(main, split, dual) in steps of an octave, over a range of four octaves
upward or downward.
Main Part
Hold down [TONE] and use TEMPO [ (-)][ (+)] to change the
octave of the main part.
Split Part
Hold down [SPLIT] and use TEMPO [ (-)][ (+)] to change the
octave of the split part.
Dual Part
Hold down [DUAL] and use TEMPO [ (-)][ (+)] to change the
octave of the dual part.
Changing the Keyboard Scale
As an alternative to the equal tempered scale used in most Western
music, you can adjust the pitch of each note to the scales used by
other musical cultures or tuning systems.
You can independently adjust the pitch of each note in the octave (C,
C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B).
For example, if you adjust the pitch of the “C” note, this adjustment
will apply to the “C” note of each octave.
1.
Hold down [FUNCTION] and press the key whose note pitch
you want to adjust.
The pitch will be lowered by 1/4 tone.
The keyboard in the center of the screen will indicate the notes
whose pitch has been lowered.
To check the notes for which the pitch has been lowered, press
and hold [FUNCTION]. While you continue holding down
[FUNCTION], the keyboard in the center of the screen will
indicate the state of the pitch.
You can also specify where the transpose setting is to be
applied. Refer to “Trans Mode” (p. 22).

stereo strings sound will play. You can also add a monophonic
bass sound (-> ”Auto Bass,” p. 23). If you don’t want the strings
sound or bass sound to be heard, turn off “Educational” (p. 24).
If you press [START/STOP] while [ARRANGER] is not lighted,
only the drums will play, allowing you to add a rhythm
accompaniment to your keyboard performance. The drums will
be based on the currently selected music style. If you want to
select a different music style, refer to p. 14.
