Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP107.

Main Features

Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-ranging Expressiveness

The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of the hammers striking the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand piano. Maximum polyphony of 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes. This instrument is receptive to all the subtle nuances that a performer might use, and skillfully reproduces them—whether it be slight variations in touch or the resonance in the strings when the keys are released, or the type of resonance heard when the pedals are released (Piano Resonance). In addition, this instrument features a “Grand Sound” speaker system, and simulates the full, three-dimensional nature of a concert grand piano (Grand Space), which together help to deliver a sound with even greater clarity and power (Dynamic Emphasis).

Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

This instrument features a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the touch of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in the upper register. In addition, on the HP107, even the distinctive “click” that you feel when pressing a key on a grand piano has been faithfully simulated (escapement mechanism). The instrument features two kinds of key touch control; key response, which changes the keys’ apparent weighting, and “hammer response function,” which reproduces the piano hammers’ subtle movements. The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances to be expressed.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:

UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 4; p. 6)

provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

. These sections

Expressiveness Only a Digital Instrument Can Provide

The HP107 lets you add just the right sounds to the piano for an effect that is full and rich. You can layer different instrument sounds over the piano sound, layer sounds one octave higher, and use a pedal to control the volume.

Comfortable for Use with Headphones

Special effects applied to the sound when headphones are used make listening through headphones comfortable, not fatiguing. And in addition to an indicator on the Front panel that lights up when you connect a pair of headphones, the HP107 also provides a convenient hook where you can keep your headphones when they’re not in use.

A Variety of Helpful Practice Features and Built-in Piano Songs

A metronome function and “two-track recorder,” the built-in songs for a collection of scores (60 songs included), and other features let you experience piano lessons in ways possible only with a digital piano.

IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 3, 4 and 5, 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.

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 and readily accessible.

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.

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 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

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.

• 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.

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 and 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.

Page 6

IMPORTANT NOTES

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 shockabsorbent 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 rest 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.

• 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.

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.

Handling CD-ROMs

801

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside

(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for piano performance.

fig.00-08.e

Soft 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. The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how deeply you press the pedal. 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 HP107 simulates this damper resonance.

You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper pedal (p. 20).

Changing the Timing of Sounds According to the Force Used to Press the Keys (Hammer Response)

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.

On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly, meaning that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the moment you press the key until the sound is produced.

If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the moment you press a key until the sound is heard will change depending on the strength with which you play. As you play more softly, this time will become longer.

Playing Along with the Built-in Songs

Here’s how you can play along with the built-in songs.

You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately. Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the song.

For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a song and playing it” (p. 15).

Changing the Tempo

If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice.

fig.panel3-1

First select the song that you want to play back (p. 15).

Press the [Song/Tempo] button, getting its indicator to light in green.

The tempo appears in the display.

Each time you press the [Song/Tempo] button, the tempo and the currently selected song number (prefixed by “S.”) will be displayed alternately.

While the tempo is displayed, the [Song/Tempo] button indicator will light in green. While the song number is displayed, it will light in red.

Press the [-] or [+] button to adjust the tempo.

If you turn on the metronome while the song plays back, the metronome will sound at the

eat and tempo of the song.

Some of the built-in songs have tempos that change during the song.

Correspondence between beat and tempo display

Beat Tempo Value

2/2 =5–250

x/4 =10–500

3/8 =20–999

6/8 9/8 = 7–333 12/8

The tempo can be adjusted in a range of =10–500.

You can also change the tempo during playback.

Pressing the [+] button once increases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the button increases the tempo continuously.

Pressing the [-] button once decreases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the button makes the tempo change (slow down) continuously.

If you press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, you will return to the basic tempo of the song (the tempo before you modified it).

■

Adding a count-in to match the timing (Count-In)

When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.

Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.”

On the HP107, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.

Tuning to other instruments’ pitches (Master Tuning)

In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune the HP107’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.”

If you press Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 41), a display like the following will appear.

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.

If you press Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 41), a display like the following will appear.

This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates disso-

Chapter 6. Connecting External Devices

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control the performances on one device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument.

■

What’s MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard which allows performance information to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and computers.

The HP107 provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data to be exchanged with external devices. When these connectors are used to connect the HP107 to external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes available.

*A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also available.

It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been

implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such

as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please

contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland

distributor.

Connection examples

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,

always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices

before making any connections.

MIDI send channel settings

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.

* The HP107 receives all channels 1–16.

* When using the HP107 in Dual mode (p. 29) or Split mode (p. 30), the

left hand of the performance is transmitted on Channel 5 in Dual mode

and in on Channel 3 in Split mode. These MIDI Transmit channel

settings are fixed and cannot be changed. When connecting an

external MIDI device while using Dual or Split modes, use channels

other than 3 and 5 for the MIDI device.

The button doesn’t

work

No sound is heard

(when a MIDI

instrument is

connected)

Sounds are heard

twice (doubled)

when the keyboard

is played

Tone doesn’t

Not all played notes

are sounded

The tuning or pitch

of the keyboard or

song is off

Is the power cord connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 12)

Is the panel locked? (p. 44) Turn the power off, then back on.

Is the volume level of the HP107 turned all the way down? (p. 14)

Are headphones plugged in? (p. 13) Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack? When headphones are connected, the keyboard’s speaker stops playing.

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. 49).

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.

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 49)

Is the HP107 in Dual performance? (p. 29)

When the HP107 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 49). Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its MIDI Thru feature is OFF.

Is the panel locked? (p. 44) Turn the power off, then back on.

Are the indicators for the [Split] and [Chorus] buttons flashing? Setting of functions is in progress. Press the [Split] or [Chorus] button to exit function mode (p. 41, p. 48).

The maximum number of notes that the HP107 can play simultaneously is 128. 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.

Have you set Transpose? (p. 27)

Are the settings for the “Temperament” and “Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 42)

Is the setting for the “Master Tuning” correct? (p. 42)

Cause/Remedy

Cause/Remedy

Are the indicator for the Track buttons ([Left] and [Right] buttons) extinguished? (p. 35) If the button indicator is out, the music on that track is not heard. Press the track button so the indicator is illuminated.

Has the track buttons for recording been selected? (p. 36–p. 39)

If you select an built-in song in which the tempo changes during the song, and then record, the tempo will change in the same way for the performances. The tempo of the metronome will also change in the same way.

If you record additional material without erasing the previously recorded song, the song will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo. Please erase the previously recorded song before you re-record (p. 40).

Recorded performance that have not been backed up with Song Backup is erased with the power is turned off. A performance cannot be restored once it’s been deleted. The HP107 includes a “Song Backup function” (p. 45), which allows you to store song recorded with the HP107 in the instrument itself. Use the Song Backup function to save any performance you do not want deleted to the HP107.

Is the pedal connected correctly? Make sure the pedal cable extending from the stand is securely connected to the pedal jack on the rear of the unit (p. 12).

Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so that the adjuster presses firmly against the floor surface (p. 14).

Since the H107’s piano sounds accurately reproduce the depth and reverberation of the original acoustic piano, you may find that reverberation is audible when the Key Off function and Grand Space are enabled. If you want to eliminate the reverberation, turn off the Key Off function (p. 19) and Grand Space (p. 23–24).

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 HP107, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose setting.

Page 51

Appendices

Case

A High-pitched

whine is produced

Cause/Remedy

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 reverberation 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 HP107) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

Case

The bass range

sounds odd, or

there is a vibrating

resonance

The volume level of

the instrument

connected to Input

jacks is too low

Cause/Remedy

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the HP107 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.

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
