IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2, 3 and 4, please read and observe the following:

359

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.

352

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.

Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

353

• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy disk

drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 6).

• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a

strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface.

• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while

the drive is operating.

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.

355

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet

area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on

the piano 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.

• 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 the HPi-5 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

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 on a floppy disk.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a floppy disk. 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.

555

•A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.

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 stand while it is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTES

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 Floppy Disks

651

• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is required to enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following when handling floppy disks:

• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.

• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.

• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).

• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers.

652

• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position only when you wish to write new data onto the disk.

Before Using Floppy Disks

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive

602

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibration.

603

• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.

604

• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—it will click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT button firmly. Do not use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in the drive.

605b

• Never eject a disk while reading or writing is in progress, since that can damage the magnetic surface of the disk, rendering it unusable. (The disk drive’s indicator will light up at full brightness when the drive is busy reading or writing data. Ordinarily, the indicator will be less brightly lit, or be extinguished.)

606

• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.

607

• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to hold the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any direction) while inserting it into the drive. Push it in firmly, but gently. Never use excessive force.

608

• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only floppy disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects inside the drive.

Rear side of the disk

Write

(can write new data onto disk)

Write Protect Tab

653

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk.

Protect

(prevents writing to disk)

Should the label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.

654

• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By using a dirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.

655

• Disks containing performance data for this unit should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the “Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the HPG/R, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the “Write” position), when you perform any disk operations using the other device’s disk drive (such as checking the contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.

Before You Begin Playing

About the Pedals

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

piano performance.

fig.pedal

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 depth to which you press the

pedal will subtly affect the duration of the sustain.

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 HPi-5 simulates this sympathetic resonance.

* You can adjust the amount of sympathetic resonance that occurs

when you press the damper pedal. Refer to “Adjusting the depth

of the effects (Effects)” (p. 43).

Damper Pedal

Disabling Functions Other Than Piano Performance (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the HPi-5 in a state where only

piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled.

This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if

children press the buttons accidentally.

* In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be

played. Also, nothing will be displayed in the screen.

Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the

[Power] switch to turn off the power.

Hold down the [Function] button, and press the

[Power] switch to turn on the power.

Continue holding down the button for one or two seconds.

Adjust the volume. When you play the keyboard, the grand

piano sound will be heard.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the

minimum, and turn on the power once again.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already

played when you pressed the pedal.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound

will have a softer tone.

The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which

you press the pedal.

* The Sostenuto pedal and Soft pedal can be given functions other

than these. Refer to “Changing the function of the pedals

(Pedal)” (p. 45).

About the adjuster

When you move the HPi-5 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable,

adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows.

❍

Rotate the adjustor to lower it so that it is in firm contact 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.

Some notes on the score screen

• When you begin song playback, the score screen will show . While this symbol is displayed,

performance data is being loaded from floppy disk or internal memory. It may take thirty seconds to a minute or more to read the data. Please wait.

• The displayed score is generated from the music files, and priority is given to making the display easy to read rather than reproducing a complicated or difficult performance accurately. For this reason, you may notice differences when compared with commercially available sheet music. In particular, this is not suitable for display of sophisticated or complex songs that require detailed scores. Ornamentals or notes shorter than a sixteenth note cannot be displayed.

• In the score screen, lyrics or notes may fall outside the display range of the screen, and fail to be shown.

• If you display the score or change the displayed part during song playback, the song may sometimes play back from the beginning.

Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard or Song Playback (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose” function, you can transpose your performance without changing the notes

you play. For example, if a song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can use this function to play it in an easier key. You can also use this function to play back a song in a different key. When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).

Some notes on saving a song

• Due to certain types of handling, the data on a floppy disk can be damaged and become unplayable. We recommend that important song data be saved on two floppy disks.

• When a song is played back on some other devices, notes may drop out or may be played differently.

• When you are finished saving, set the protect tab of the floppy disk to the “protect” position (p.

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. By

playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was

created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally

intended for that song.

Setting

Equal

This temperament divides the octave into 12 equal parts. All

intervals will be slightly out of tune by the same amount.

Just Major

This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd intervals pure. It is

unsuitable for playing melodies and modulation is not possible, but

it produces beautifully harmonious chords.

Just Minor

Just intonation differs between major and minor keys. The same

results as major can be obtained in a minor key.

Arabic

This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Kirnberger

This temperament is a modification of meantone temperament and

just intonation, allowing more freedom of modulation. It allows you

to play in all keys (third method).

Meantone

This temperament is a partial compromise of just intonation in order

to allow modulation.

Pythagorean

This temperament is based on the theories of the Greek philosopher

Pythagoras, and has pure fourths and fifths. Chords containing a

third will sound impure, but melodies will sound good.

Werkmeister

This temperament is a combination of meantone and Pythagorean

temperaments. It allows you to play in all keys. (First method,

number three.)

Key

When playing in a temperament other than equal temperament, you

must specify the tonic (the note corresponding to C for a major key,

or to A for a minor key) of the key in which you will play.

If you have selected equal temperament, it is not necessary to select

the tonic.

Setting

C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, Bb, B

Playing back the performance of a specific instrument (16 Track)

Commercially available SMF music files normally consists of 16

parts, and the performance of a different instrument is recorded on

each part.

Of these 16 parts, you can select and play (solo) a specific part, or

mute (silence) a selected part. (Muting just one specific part of the

playback is referred to as “minus-one.”)

Select a song before you begin the procedure.

Solo and mute can also be specified while playing back the

song.

Press the [Function] button, and select “16 Track” in the

screen.

Left] button, and the right-hand part is assigned to the Track [4/

Right] button.

However, right-hand and left-hand part assignments in certain SMF

files may differ. If these are set to “Auto,” and as a result you are

unable to use the track buttons to control the left- and right-hand

parts properly, change the setting to “2/1 Part” or “3/4 Part.”

What is

“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a

universal standard created to allow for the exchange of performance

data among electronic musical instruments and computers.

The HPi-5 provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data

to be exchanged with an external device. When these connectors are

used to connect the HPi-5 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.

Example connections

* 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.

* The HPi-5 has one MIDI In connector on the rear panel and

another on the bottom panel. It is not possible to use these two MIDI In connectors at the same time.

Connections to a Computer

You can use a USB MIDI interface cable such as the Roland UM-1

(sold separately) to connect the HPi-5 to your computer.

If you connect a computer in which sequencer software such as

Roland’s “Visual MT” is installed, you will be able to play the sound

of the software sound generator from the HPi-5’s speakers, or save a

recorded HPi-5 song on your computer.

Example connections

* 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.

* In order to make connections to your computer, you must install

MIDI transmit channel setting

MIDI has sixteen “MIDI channels,” numbered 1–16. Even if a MIDI

device is connected, it will not be possible to play or select sounds

unless the MIDI channels of the two devices match.

* When Split performance (→ p. 26) is being used on the HPi-5,

the left-hand keyboard area will not be transmitted.

* When Dual performance (→ p. 25) is being used on the HPi-5,

only the channel you specify here will be transmitted.

* The HPi-5 receives all channels 1–16.

Program Change setting

Program changes are a type of message that tell a device to “switch

to sound number ‘x’.” A device that receives this message will select

the sound of the corresponding number.

When you use this setting to specify a program change (program

number), that program number will be transmitted to a MIDI device

connected to the HPi-5. A MIDI device that receives the program

number will switch to the sound corresponding to that program

number.

Normally, program changes select from 128 different sounds.

However, some MIDI devices have more than 128 sounds. For such

devices, Bank Select messages are combined with Program Change

messages to select sounds. Bank Select consists of two messages:

MSB (controller number 0; value: 0–127), and LSB (controller number

32; value: 0–127).

* Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages.

Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages, but ignore the LSB message.

Case

Reverberation still

abruptly beyond a

certain key

A High-pitched

whine is produced

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

Since the HPi-5’s piano sounds faithfully re-

produce the sense of spaciousness and rever-

beration of an actual acoustic piano’s sound, a

certain amount of reverberation is still percep-

tible, even with the reverb effect deactivated.

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 HPi-5, the range that is unaf-

fected by the damper pedal will change de-

pending on the Key Transpose setting.

When listening through headphones:

Some of the more flamboyant and effer-

vescent piano tones feature an ample

high-end component, which may make

the sound appear to have metallic rever-

beration added. Since this reverberation

becomes particularly audible when sup-

plemented 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 HPi-5) would be suspect.

Consult your Roland dealer or nearest

Roland Service Center.

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause in-

struments near the HPi-5 to resonate. Res-

onation can also occur with fluorescent

light tubes, glass doors, and other objects.

In particular, this problem occurs more

easily when the bass component is in-

creased, and when the sound is played at

higher volumes. Use the following mea-

sures 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 reso-

nating objects.

When listening through headphones:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance

produced by the HPi-5) would be suspect.

Consult your Roland dealer or nearest

Music Files That the HPi-5 Can Use

What Are Music Files?

Music Files contain information describing the details of a musical

performance, such as “the C3 key on a keyboard was pressed for this

amount of time, using this amount of force.”By inserting the floppy

disk into the disk drive on the HPi-5, the performance information is

sent from the floppy disk to the piano, and played faithfully by the

piano. This is different than a CD, since the music file does not

contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to

erase certain parts, or to change instruments, tempos and keys freely,

allowing you to use it in many different ways.

Regarding Copyright

Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to this

product for any purpose other than private, personal enjoyment

without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited by law.

Additionally, this data must not be copied, nor used in a secondary

copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder.

■

The HPi-5 allows you to use the following music files

●

Floppy disks saved on a Roland MT Series, or Roland Piano

Digital HP-G/R and KR Series instrument

●

Roland Digital Piano Compatible Music Files

Roland’s original music file is made specifically for practicing the

piano. Some follow an instructional curriculum, allowing for a

complete range of lessons, such as “practicing each hand

separately” or “listening to only the accompaniment.”

●

SMF Music Files (720KB/1.44MB format)

SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file

that was formulated so that files containing music file could be

widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the

listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,

whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for

Karaoke, etc.

* If you wish to purchase SMF Music Files, please consult the

retailer where you purchased your HPi-5.

SMF with Lyrics

“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the lyrics.

When Music Files carrying the “SMF with Lyrics” logo are played back on a

compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the lyrics will appear in its

display.

■

About the HPi-5 Sound Generator

The HPi-5 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

General MIDI

The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way

to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI

capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music

files that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music

files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General

MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical

performance.

General MIDI 2

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up where

the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities,

and even greater compatibility.

Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,

such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have

now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been

expanded.

General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing

back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include

the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI 1” as a way of

distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

GS Format

The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the

performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including support for

everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format

additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of

sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features,

including effects such as reverb and chorus.

Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new

sounds and support new hardware features when they arrive.

Since it is upwardly compatible with the General MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is

capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS

music files (music files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).

This product supports both the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be

used to play back music data carrying either of these logos.

XG lite

XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines the ways

in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure and type of effects, in

addition to the General MIDI 1 specification.

XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can play back

any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind

that some music files may play back differently compared to the original files,

due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
