Important notes
Important notes
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “Using the unit safely” (p. 2), 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.
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.
308
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the
unit has been completely disconnected from the source of
power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn
off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the
power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you
choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is
within easy reach.
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.
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.
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
• 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.
403
• The pedals of this unit are made of brass.
Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidization process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using
commercially available metal polisher.
Additional Precautions
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored in the unit’s memory 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.
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).
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.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.
565
• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure
that no pets or other small animals are located on top of the
instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the
keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design
of this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up
getting trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered,
you must immediately switch off the power and disconnect
the power cord from the outlet. You should then consult with
the retailer from whom the instrument was purchased, or
contact the nearest Roland Service Center.
• 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.

About the Adjuster
The pedals have the following functions, and are used
mainly for piano performance.
fig.00-08.e
Soft Pedal Damper Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even
after you take your fingers off the keys.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal
will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy
with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance.
The HP101e simulates this “damper resonance.”
You can change the amount of resonance applied with
the damper pedal. Please refer to Changing the
Damper Pedal’s Resonance (p. 18).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were
already played when you pressed the pedal.
When you move the HP101e or if you feel that the pedals
are unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals
as follows.
❍Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm con-
tact with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals
and the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular
when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so
that the pedals firmly contact the floor.
Adjuster
If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift
either the left or right side of the stand to make it easier
for another person to turn the adjuster and make the
adjustment.
After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if
the front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that
it makes firm contact with the floor.
Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.

Tuning to Other Instruments’
Setting the Standard Pitch to 440.0 Hz
Pitches (Master Tuning)
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other
instruments, you can tune the HP101e’s standard pitch to the
pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally
refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger
the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “tuning.”
You can set the standard pitch anywhere in a range of 415.3
Hz to 466.2 Hz. When the instrument is turned on, the standard pitch is set to “440.0 Hz.”
■
Lowering/ Raising the Standard Pitch

Temperament Tonic
ENGLISH ENGLISH
Changing the Temperament
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the
chords that the composer originally intended.
This is set to “Equal” when the instrument is turned on.
1.
While holding down the [Metronome] and
[Reverb/Key Touch] buttons, press the appropriate key (F3–B3) on the keyboard.
You can choose from among the seven temperaments
described below.
Key
F3 Equal
F#3
G3
G#3
A3 Mean Tone
Tempera-
ment
Pythagorean
Just
Major
Just
Minor
Qualities
In this tuning, each octave is divided into
twelve equal steps. Every interval produces
about the same amount of slight dissonance.
This tuning, devised by the philosopher
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in
fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced
by third-interval chords, but melodies are
euphonious.
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the
fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing
melodies and cannot be transposed, but is
capable of beautiful sonorities.
The Just tunings differ from major and
minor keys. You can get the same effect
with the minor scale as with the major scale.
This scale makes some compromises in just
intonation, enabling transposition to other
keys.
Key
Bb3

■
Tempera-
ment
This temperament combines the Mean

Kirnberger
Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).
This is an improvement of the Mean Tone
and Just tunings that provides a high
degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).
Setting the Tonic
Qualities
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the
song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to
C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to
select a tonic note.
1.
While holding down the [Metronome] and
[Reverb/Key Touch] buttons, press the tonic (root)
of the key (C4–B4).
* When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be
aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of
the pitch. Tune the HP101e to the standard pitch of the other
instruments.

Pedal’s Resonance
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes
the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich
reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal
on the HP101e recreates this resonance (damper resonance)
when depressed.
You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant
sound (resonance level).
This is set to “5” when the instrument is turned on.

* When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not
necessary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit
Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If you
turn on the power in the order of the HP101e→ MT series,
Local Off will be set automatically.

Troubleshooting
If you think there’s a problem, read this first.
The power doesn’t come on
Is the power cord connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 7)
The button doesn’t work
Is the panel locked? (p. 19)
Turn the power off, then back on.
No sound is heard
Is the volume level of the HP101e turned all the way down? (p. 8)
Are headphones plugged in? (p. 8)
Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack?
Plugging headphones or other plugs into the headphone jack
stops sounds from playing through the speakers.
Is Local Off selected?
When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to “On” (p. 22).
Is V-LINK switched on?
While V-LINK is switched on, no sound is produced when you
press any of the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard (p. 19).
No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected)
Have all devices been switched on?
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 21)
Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played
Is the HP101e in Dual play? (p. 13)
When the HP101e is connected to an external sequencer, set it to
the Local OFF mode (p. 22).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its MIDI Thru feature
is OFF.
Tone doesn’t change
Is the panel locked? (p. 19)
Turn the power off, then back on.
Not all played notes are sounded
The maximum number of notes that the HP101e can play simultaneously is 64.
Frequent use of the damper pedal when playing along with a
song may result in performance data with too many notes, causing some notes to drop out.
The tuning or pitch of the keyboard or song is off
Have you set Transpose? (p. 12)
Are the settings for the “Temperament” and “Stretch Tuning”
correct? (p. 17)
Is the setting for the “Master Tuning” correct? (p. 16)
Depressing a pedal has no effect, or the pedal effect doesn’t stop
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Make sure the pedal cord is securely connected to the pedal jack
on the bottom of the unit, at the rear (p. 7).
The pedal rattles
Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so that the adjuster
presses firmly against the floor surface (p. 9).
In the upper range, the sound changes abruptly beyond a certain key
On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one and a half octaves of
the keyboard continue to sound until they decay naturally,
regardless of the damper pedal. There is a difference in the timbre
as well. Roland pianos faithfully simulate such characteristics of
the acoustic piano. On the HP101e, the range that is unaffected by
the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose
setting.
A High-pitched whine is produced
When listening through headphones:
Some of the more flamboyant and effervescent piano tones feature an ample high-end component, which may make the sound
appear to have metallic reverberation added. Since this reverber-
Troubleshooting
ation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy
reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the
amount of reverb applied to the sound.
When listening through speakers:
Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the
HP101e) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest
Roland Service Center.
The bass range sounds odd, or there is a vibrating resonance
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the HP101e
to resonate.
Resonation can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass
doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more
easily when the bass component is increased, and when the sound
is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance.
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from walls and other surfaces.
• Reduce the volume.
• Move the speakers away from any resonating objects.
When listening through headphones:
Here, a different cause would be suspect. Consult your Roland
dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.
The volume level of the instrument connected to Input jacks is too low
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Bedienungsanleitung
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für ein Digital-Piano HP101e von Roland entschieden haben.
Die wichtigsten Funktionen
Klavierklänge mit einer breit gefächerten Resonanz und einer großen Expressivität
Die Stereo-Samples liefern einen besonders realistischen Klangeindruck, weil selbst die beim Auftreffen der Hämmer auf die Saiten entstehenden Geräusche berücksichtigt werden. Somit ist ein
realistischer Klavierklang gewährleistet, der kaum noch von einem akustischen Flügel zu unterscheiden ist. Das Instrument ist 64-stimmig polyphon. Sie können das Dämpferpedal also bedenkenlos verwenden, ohne befürchten zu müssen, dass Noten wegfallen.
Tastatur und drei Pedale vermitteln naturgetreu das Spielgefühl eines echten
Flügels
Dieses Instrument enthält eine kompakte “Progressive Hammer Action”-Tastatur, die das gleiche
Spielgefühl vermittelt wie die Tastatur eines Flügels: Im Bass ist der Widerstand der Tasten nämlich etwas größer als im Diskant.
Auch die drei Pedale sprechen besonders akkurat an, so dass wirklich alle Facetten Ihres Spiels
zum Tragen kommen können.
Edles Design mit attraktiver Holzmaserung
Die kompakte Bauweise dieses mit einer edlen Holzmaserung versehenen Instruments erlaubt eine
Platz sparende Aufstellung.
Neben einer einschiebbaren Tastenklappe verfügt das HP101e über einen praktischen Haken, an
den Sie bei Nichtbenutzung Ihren Kopfhörer hängen können.
Lesen Sie sich vor dem Einsatz folgende Punkte durch: “Hinweise für eine sichere Handhabung” (S. 28)
und “Wichtige Hinweise” (S. 30). Dort finden Sie wichtige Bedien- und Sicherheitshinweise. Außerdem
müssen Sie sich natürlich die gesamte Bedienungsanleitung durchlesen, um alle Funktionen kennen zu
lernen und bei der Bedienung alles richtig zu machen. Bewahren Sie die Bedienungsanleitung für die
spätere Bezugnahme an einem sicheren Ort auf.
