SOUND

The "SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine" delivers the
expressivity of an acoustic grand piano.

All models are equipped with our newly developed SuperNATURAL Piano
sound engine, which was born by bringing together V-Piano technology
and 88-key stereo multisampling technology. This new sound engine is the
product of Roland’s deep research of the characteristics of acoustic pianos,
with the goal of faithfully reproducing the rich tone and expressivity of a
concert grand piano. The maximum polyphony of 128 is more than enough
for even the most complex pieces.

Expressivity in every single key

Each of the 88 notes on a grand piano has its own character, due to the fact
that the strings are different sizes and lengths, use different materials, and
are struck by hammers of different sizes. These differences create variations
in the tone color and resonance of each note. For the new SuperNATURAL
Piano sound engine, Roland sampled all 88 notes of a variety of world-class
pianos and used its unique digital technology to faithfully reproduce the full,
rich tone and expressivity of the world’s nest pianos.

Expressivity according to the player’s touch

Pianos produce differences not only in volume, but also subtle variations
in tone color, depending on how forcefully the key is struck. Using
Roland’s latest technology, the
SuperNATURAL piano sound
engine delivers natural and
seamless changes in tone color in
response to the player’s touch. Its
expanded dynamic range supports
the most advanced and subtle
techniques, just as one would
expect in an acoustic grand piano.

Expressivity of decaying sounds

The natural decay of notes and beautiful lingering tones are important
elements of a piano’s sound. The decaying sound of an acoustic piano

not only decreases in volume, but
also gradually changes in color to
a softer tone. The SuperNATURAL
piano sound engine replicates
this natural decay, just as in an
acoustic grand.

All models feature "Piano Resonance", which faithfully reproduces the

HP305 also offer "Grand Piano Presence II", which uses high and full-range
stereo speakers in a special design to replicate the unique aural “presence”
of a grand piano. High notes are heard from "above” the player and rich
basses emanate from below, near the oor. The agship HP307 features
"Piano Designer", which lets the user customize all components of the
piano's sound, including even the position of the "virtual" grand piano lid.

Continuous detection pedals respond to
the player's sensitivities.

The damper and soft pedals continuously detect the slightest differences in the
amount they are depressed, thus supporting a full range of pedal expression.
For example, there are subtle changes in
tone where the damper is barely touching
the string. There are also variations in the
sustain of a sound when you depress
the pedal gradually. The pedals even
support the most subtle expression,
such as depressing the pedal again after
releasing it for an instant.

DESIGN

Beautiful cabinet design and nishes compliment any decor

We paid meticulous attention to design details, just as we did with tone and
touch. Cabinet parts and control panels are coordinated according to wood
grain and matching colors. The front legs add both stability and style. Brass

scores. The three pedals have a traditional lateral design that allows smoother
pedal movements. And all models feature
the “Classic” fallboard position to conceal
the control panel and display when desired.
Available nishes include the traditional
satin black, a warm
rosewood wood
grain, and a mirror­like polished ebony.

Ease of use is always a Roland advantage.

The simple and intuitive control panel affords quick and easy access
to the HP Series’ numerous features and applications, and the
HP307 offers a large LCD panel for the ideal visual interface with the
instrument. Frequently used connection jacks are conveniently located
near the front of all models and all come with a handy headphone hook.

TOUCH

The PHA II and PHA III keyboards translate
the emotions of the player into sound.

Their natural touch is not produced by springs, but instead by the hammer's
weight and movement. Just as in an acoustic piano, the lower notes feel
slightly heavier and the higher notes feel lighter. The PHA II and PHA III
keyboards also faithfully replicate the unique response of grand pianos,
where the keys move downward lightly when you play softly and give more
resistance when you play more forcefully.

The "PHA III" keyboard translates into sound the
differences in how you play.

The HP307 comes with the "PHA III"
keyboard, which delivers superior
repetition and expressivity than the
"PHA II" keyboard. Along with the
"SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine,"
subtle differences in how one plays
are faithfully reected in the sound.

The Ivory-Feel keyboard replicates
the texture of ivory and ebony.

Modeled after high-end acoustic grand pianos, the white and black key
tops are made of a material that replicates the unique appearance and
texture of real ivory and ebony keys. The white keys consist of a two­piece "surface over base material"
construction to create the same
appearance you would nd on an
acoustic piano and reduce the noise of
ngernails tapping the keys. Thanks to
its moisture-absorbing characteristics,
the more you play the Ivory-Feel
keyboard, the better it feels.

Simulated “escapement” replicates the feel and
response of a grand piano

Depress a key slowly and you will feel the resistance grow gradually
and then become lighter again. This occurs on acoustic pianos when
the hammer releases or “escapes” from the key mechanism. By
replicating this, the PHA II and PHA III keyboards further enhance the
superb response and expressivity of Roland pianos.

Select a comfortable touch and
enjoy playing to your heart's content.

On all Roland Digital Pianos, users can choose* between different
touch sensitivity – from light to standard and heavy. You can adjust the
touch response of your keyboard depending on how strong your ngers
are or for particular practice objectives.

* The HP307 offers 100 levels of touch sensitivity.

Roland pays attention to important details in areas that
you do not see.

The length of the hidden portion of
the keys has been made as long
as possible, so that the fulcrum is
located further back on the keys.
This reduces the difference in touch
response from the front to the rear
of the keys, replicating the longer
keys and superior response of a
grand piano and further enhancing
the natural playing feel of the Roland
Digital Piano.

LESSON & ENTERTAINMENT

Features only available in the digital realm help expand
your musical world.

A 3-track recorder lets you easily record, playback, and save your
performances. This offers numerous benets for both performance and
practice, including the ability to work with left hand and right hand parts
separately. The “Twin Piano” function allows you to split the keyboard left
and right into two regions, each with
its own middle “C” and damper pedal.
Two players wearing headphones can
then play completely independently
without hearing one another (Individual
Twin-Piano), a powerful application
for “partner” lessons or piano labs.
Of course, the ability to hear yourself
privately on headphones has always been
a major advantage of digital instruments,
since it allows you to play anywhere,
anytime without disturbing others.

Enjoy playing your favorite songs along with full
backing tracks

The HP series all come with a wide range of built-in songs, ranging from
classical to jazz. However, you can also playback commercially available SMF
music les or audio les stored on a standard USB ash memory device (sold
separately). With the optional Roland CD-01A CD Drive, you can even play
back and play along with songs directly from a standard audio CD. During
playback of the built-in songs or SMF music les from a USB memory stick,
you can alter or mute individual tracks, such as a piano solo, to create an
exciting ensemble performance. Since you can alter both the key and tempo
independently, you can slow down playback when learning a new piece or
nd a more comfortable key for a song with which you want to sing along.
During playback of audio files from
USB memory, you can also alter key
and tempo independently, as well as
minimize the lead vocal or instrument
via the “Center Cancel” function. All
models also boast over 300 GM2/GS
tones with layer and split capability
