Explanation

Adjusting the Keyboard Response (Key Touch)

The way in which the keyboard responds to your playing strength can be adjusted to your personal taste.
Fix, 1–100
Higher values will make the keyboard feel heavier. If you’ve specied “Fix,” notes will sound at the same volume regardless of how strongly you play the keyboard.

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument. The reference pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you nger the middle A (A4) key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while
performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments.
415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz

Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods). Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used,
but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.
Equal
Just Major
Just Minor
Pythagorean
Kirnberger I
Kirnberger II This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.
Kirnberger III
Meantone
Werckmeister
Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
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.
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. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths. Although third chord is slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody. 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.
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. 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.
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)).

Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament Key)

Temperament Key
Piano Designer
Hammer Response O, 1–10 Adjusts the time from when you play the key until the piano sound is heard. Higher values produce a greater delay.
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed. If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key. C–B Lets you personalize your piano sound by adjusting various elements that aect the sound: the piano’s physical strings, the resonances produced by
the pedals, the sound of hammers striking the strings, and more. Refer to “Personalizing Your Piano Sound (Piano Designer)” (p. 13).
Editing the Equalizer Settings (Equalizer)
You can use the equalizer to modify the tone color by boosting or reducing just the low-frequency or high-frequency range of the sound. To edit the equalizer settings, use the [K] [J] buttons to select “Equalizer,” and then press the [Function] (Enter) button.

Specifying the Song (SMF) Playback Mode (SMF Play Mode)

When playing back a song (SMF), select the appropriate setting depending on whether you’re playing an internal song or external data. Normally you will use the “Auto Select” setting.
This determines whether the setting that is most suitable for the internal song or most suitable for external data is selected when you play back a song whose le format is SMF.
SMF Play Mode
MEMO
You can also switch the SMF Play Mode by holding down the [s] button and using the [–] [+] button. Some of the Piano Designer eects are not reproduced if the SMF Play Mode is set to “External.” Auto-Select Automatically switches the SMF Play Mode to either “Internal” or “External” depending on the song that is being played.
Internal
External
When you play back an internal song, the tone used for keyboard performance automatically changes to the tone of the internal song. This is recommended when you play back an internal song or a song that you recorded on this piano. Even when playing back external data, the tone used for keyboard performance can be specied independently of the tone used to play the external data. This is recommended when you play back external data such as commercially available music data.

Selecting the Format for Recording (Recording Mode)

You can choose whether to record as SMF or as audio.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

°
WARNING
Concerning the Auto O function
The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after a predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto O function). If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically, disengage the Auto O function (p. 24).
Use only the stand that is recommended
This unit should be used only with a stand that is recommended by Roland.
Do not place in a location that is unstable
When using the unit with a stand recommended by Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a 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.
Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a stand
Be sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual carefully when placing this unit on a stand (p. 2).
If it is not set up properly, you risk creating an unstable situation which could lead to the unit falling or the stand toppling, and may result in injury.
WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage
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 specied on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a dierent polarity, or be designed for a dierent voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.
CAUTION
Use only the specied stand(s)
This unit is designed to be used in combination with specic stands (KSC-72, KS-G8B and KS-12) manufactured by Roland. If used in combination with other stands, you risk sustaining injuries as the result of this product dropping down or toppling over due to a lack of stability.
CAUTION
Evaluate safety issues before using stands
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.
Cautions when moving this unit
If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a rm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.
• Check to make sure the screws securing the unit to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice any loosening.
• Disconnect the power cord.
• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
• Remove the music stand.

IMPORTANT NOTES

°
Placement
• 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.
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
• Note when placing a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet on this unit
• Handle your device with care to avoid scratching the unit or the mobile device.
• 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.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.
• Use only the specied expression pedal. By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• 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.
