Roland HPi-7 User Manual

Introducing the most enjoyable way to learn the piano

Exciting digital features for fun and easy piano lessons.

Natural touch. Realistic sound. True expressiveness.

Roland’s acclaimed HPi-Series combines natural acoustic piano touch and sound with
world-leading digital features for music education. It makes music learning fun and
effective! Teachers and students alike love the music rest-mounted DigiScore®,
the Wonderland educational games, and other advanced digital features—which
entertain you and enliven your progress. It’s easy to see why this series is so popular,
and so highly-praised by music educators worldwide.

The HPi-Series’ easy-to-read DigiScore LCD display and related digital features,
such as the popular Wonderland, make music learning not just easy but delightful.
And since the instructions appear right on the screen, the features are
simple to use. The all-new Visual Lesson function
and handy new Flash Card games
on the HPi-7 are especially educational
and entertaining. Whether you’re young
or old, it’s never too late to start making music
with the HPi-Series!

With its authentic touch and stunning realistic sound, the HPi-Series plays just like an acoustic grand
piano. It boasts Roland’s finest Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard (with Escapement on the HPi-7),
delivering a lighter touch in the upper range, and a heavier touch in the lower
range, lighter resistance on pianissimo passages, and heavier resistance on
fortissimo passages. The Escapement mechanism (HPi-7) even reproduces
the escapement characteristics of a grand piano, with the same slight “click”
feel. The HPi-Series is not just for learning to play; it’s for accomplished
players who want true power of expression.
