IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

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

353

• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy disk drive. For further details, refer to “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 40).

• 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.

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.

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.

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 on a floppy disk, 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 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.

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 shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

Page 6

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.

983

• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

1. Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).

2. Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.

3. Lowering volume levels.

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.

605a

• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the drive while the

drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could result to both the disk and the drive.

605b

• The indicator light for the disk drive lights up at full brightness

when reading or writing data, and lights up at half brightness at other times. Don’t try to eject the disk while reading or writing is in progress (that is, when the indicator light is lit up at full brightness). Attempting to do so may damage the magnetic surface of the disk, rendering it unusable.

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.

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: 0 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.

Rear side of the disk

Write (can write new data onto disk)

Write Protect Tab

Protect (prevents writing to disk)

653

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the 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 HP-G, HPi, 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.

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.pedal-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 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-7 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 (Effect)” (p. 55).

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.

Damper Pedal

Disabling Functions Other Than Piano Performance (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the HPi-7 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

On] switch to turn off the power.

Hold down the [Function] button, and press the [Power

On] switch to turn on the power.

Continue holding down the button for six or seven 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.

Cancelling Auto Demo

The HPi-7 is set at the factory so that it automatically starts playback

of the demo songs whenever the keys and controls have been left

untouched for a few minutes.

You can cancel this setting.

Press the [Function] button.

fig.d-kihonsettei-e

→

The Sostenuto pedal and Soft pedal can be given functions other

than these. Refer to “Notation Screen” (p. 15) and “Changing the

function of the pedals (Pedal)” (p. 56).

About the adjuster

When you move the HPi-7 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 notation screen

• When you begin song playback, the notation screen will show . While this symbol is displayed, performance data is being loaded from floppy disk or internal memory. It may take dozens to read the data. Please wait.

• The displayed notation 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 notations.

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

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

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.

42). This will prevent the song from being accidentally erased.

Deleting Saved Songs

Correcting Timing Discrepancies (Quantize)

You can correct for timing discrepancies in a recorded

performance by automatically aligning the music with the

timing you specify. This is called “Quantizing.”

As an example, let’s say that the timing of some quarter-notes in

a performance is a little off. In this case, you can quantize the

performance with quarter-note timing, thus making the timing

accurate.

Modifying the Tone Changes in a Song (PC Edit)

In some songs, the instrument sound changes during the course

of the song (that is, the Tone changes in the middle of a Part). In

such songs, an instruction to switch the Tone is inserted at the

place where you want the sound to change. This instruction is

called a “Program Change” (PC), and actions such as deleting

program changes, or changing the selected Tone by them are

called “PC editing.”

It is not possible to insert a program change into a measure or

beat that does not contain a program change.

Adjusting Resonance when the damper pedal is depressed (Damper Resonance)

You can adjust this resonance (Damper Resonance) when the

damper pedal is depressed.

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 resonance is called “sympathetic resonance.”

Setting

effect.

Changing How Rapidly Sounds Are Expressed According to the Force Used to Play the Keys (Hammer Response)

You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced

according to the force used to play the keys.

When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer

to move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers

move more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning

that sounds are produced just slightly later than when you play

the keyboard with greater force.

Setting

Master Tune

In situations such as when playing in ensemble with other

another instrument. Middle A is used as the reference pitch for

tuning instruments.

The process of adjusting the reference pitch to match another

instrument is called “Tuning.”

Stretch Tuning

Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the

high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method

of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched

tuning.”

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. 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 Description

This temperament divides the octave into 12

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

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 intonation differs between major and minor keys. The same results as major can be obtained in a minor key.

This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

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).

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.

This temperament is a partial compromise of just intonation in order to allow modulation.

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.

The tempo of the song, accompaniment, or metronome will be set by the interval at which you press the pedal. When the pedal to which this function is assigned is pressed several times at the desired rate, the tempo will be set accordingly.

When using Split performance, the same effect as the damper pedal will be applied to the lefthand keyboard area.

Pressing the pedal during playback of a song stops the playback. When the pedal is released, playback resumes from the beginning of the measure that was playing when the pedal was pressed. When the pedal is pressed in rapid succession, the playback will resume backs up the same number of measures as the number of times the pedal is pressed.

Changing the parts assigned to the track buttons during SMF playback (Track Assign)

Ordinarily, when playing back SMF music files for Roland Piano

Digital instruments (p. 77), the left-hand part is assigned to the

Track [3/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 music 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.”

Refer to p. 54 for the procedure.

Recording and Playing Back Performances of Specific Instruments (16 Track)

Multitrack recording is a method of recording whereby you

listen to what has previously been recorded while recording

new parts on top of that material.

The HPi-7 lets you record 16 separate parts. By recording a

different tone to each part, you can create song data for

performances that feature up to 16 different tones layered

together.

The function used for recording the 16 individual parts one

at a time is called the “16-track sequencer.”

fig.16track.e

16-Track Sequencer

You can record performances for up to 16 parts, overlaying them part by part, to create a single song.

You can also change the tones in each part, select specific parts

for playback (solo), and prevent specified parts from playing

(mute). Playback with only a single part muted is called “Minus

One.” You can even set solo and muting during playback.

→

Part 11 of Roland SMF music data that is available for purchase is included with the track button [2/Bass and Accompaniment], but the correspondence of other parts to the track buttons is the same.

* Some commercially available SMF music file may contain data

that cannot be edited.

Basic Procedure

First, have the song that you want to edit selected.

Press the [Function] button, then use the [ ] [ ]

button to select “16 Track” and press the [ ] button.

16-Track Sequencer and the Track Buttons

In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track

Buttons” (p. 16) are another of the unit’s playing/recording

functions.

In addition to the “16-track sequencer,” the HPi-7 also

features the “track buttons” (p. 16).

These “track buttons” group the 16-track sequencer’s 16 parts

with five buttons. Using the 16-track sequencer to work with

performances recorded with the track buttons allows you to

record even more sounds and edit with precision.

The track buttons correspond to the 16-track sequencer's

parts as shown below.

Track button

[R/Rhythm]

[1/Whole]

[2/Bass Accomp]

[3/Lower]

[4/Upper]

Each of the 16-track sequencer’s parts is used for recording a

single tone, so you cannot use it to record tones that combine

two tones simultaneously, as in Dual (p. 27) and Split (p. 28)

performances.

In addition, when recording performances using the Pianist

function, you can select only one part to record. If you want to

record multiple parts simultaneously with the Pianist function,

you should use the track buttons. Refer to “Recording with an

accompaniment (the Pianist function)” (p. 39).

Connections with MIDI Devices

By connecting external MIDI devices and exchanging performance

data, a device can control the performance of another device. For

example, you can play sounds from another device, or select sounds

remotely.

What is MIDI?

“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-7 provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data

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

used to connect the HPi-7 to external devices, an even wider range of

possibilities becomes available.

984

* 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.

connected to the HPi-7. 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).

No sound is heard.

No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected).

No sound is heard when the keyboard is played. Volume of keyboard is too low

No sound from left-hand section of keyboard

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played.

Not all played notes are sounded.

Is the power cord connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 9)

Is the panel locked? (p. 11) Turn the power off, then back on. The HPi-7 uses a liquid-crystal screen, so text may not be displayed when the ambient temperature is below freezing. Is the music rest (screen) connection cable connected correctly? (p. 9)

These occur due to the nature of a liquid crystal display, and do not indicate a malfunction. They can be minimized by adjusting the brightness of the screen (p. 10).

Is the volume level of the HPi-7 (p. 10) or connected device turned all the way down? Are headphones plugged in? Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack? (p. 9) When you connect the headphones, the sound is heard only through the headphones. Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way toward “Accomp” or “Keyboard”? (p. 55) Have all devices been switched on? (p. 61) Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? (p. 61) Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 62) Has Local Control been set to “Off”? When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard, Set Local Control to On (p. 62).

Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way toward “Accomp”? (p. 55)

Is the [Pianist] button’s indicator lit? (p. 32) If the [Pianist] button’s indicator is lit, there will be no sound from the left-hand section of the keyboard. No sound from the left side is V-LINK switched on? (p. 60) When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard are used to control images, and no sounds are played with these keys. Is the HPi-7 in Dual play? (p. 27) When the HPi-7 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 62). Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is OFF. The maximum number of notes that the HPi-7 can play simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of the damper pedal during automatic accompaniment or when playing along with a song on floppy disk may result in performance data with too many notes, causing some notes to drop out.

Case

Can’t select a tone

The tuning or pitch of the keyboard or song is off. Volume of accompaniment or internal song is too low

Song doesn’t play back

Only the sound of a particular instrument in a song does not play

Pressing the [ (Reset)] button doesn’t return to the beginning of the song.

The [ (Fwd)]

and [ (Bwd)] buttons don’t work.

There is a slight delay before playback of a song on floppy disk starts.

Can’t record

Tempo of recorded song or metronome is off

Cause/Remedy

Press the [ ] button several times to return to the notation screen (p. 15), and then select a tone. Have you set Transpose? (p. 24) Are the settings for the “Temperament” and “Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 55) Is the setting for the “Tuning” correct? (p. 55)

Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way toward “Keyboard”? (p. 55)

Does the screen indicate message, like “Deletes the selected song. OK?” (p. 18) The internal songs cannot be played back while recorded performance data remains in the HPi-7’s memory. Try playing back the song after deleting the performance data. Is the light for the Track button extinguished? (p. 16, p. 58) If the button light is out, the music on that track is not heard. Press the track button so the light is illuminated. Or cancel the mute in the "16 track" screen.

Some music files may contain settings that stop play at a point partway through the song. Press the [ (Reset)] button several times more to return to the beginning of the tune.

The [ (Fwd)] and [ (Bwd)] reverse buttons are ignored while music files is being read in. Wait until processing finishes. If you attempt to play back performance data that contains more data than the entire capacity of the HPi-7’s memory, you may find that operations other than playback (such as rewind or fast forward) become unavailable. There are two types of SMF music files: format 0 and format 1. If the song uses SMF format 1 data, there will be a slight delay until playback starts. Refer to the booklet that came with the music files you’re using to determine the format type. Has one of the track buttons for recording been selected? (p. 38) It is not possible to record while the notation is being generated. Once the unit has finished generating the notation (i.e., when the measure number in the screen is no longer highlighted), try the operation once again. If you select an internal song in which the tempo changes during the song, and then record, the tempo will change in the same way for the performances that are recorded on the other tracks. 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. 39).

Case

The Tone has changed.

The recorded performance has disappeared.

Song becomes unstable

Depressing a pedal has no effect, or the pedal effect doesn’t stop.

The pedal rattles

Reverberation still audible even with Reverb turned off

In the upper range, the sound changes abruptly beyond a certain key

Cause/Remedy

When a performance made along with a Music Files tune has been recorded, recording the performance to button [1/User] may make the Tones for buttons [3/Left] and [4/Right] change as well. Any performance that has been recorded is deleted when the power to the HPi-7 is turned off or a song is selected. A performance cannot be restored once it’s been deleted. With some music files, the lyrics cannot be displayed correctly. In the notation screen, some lyrics or notes could extend beyond the edges of the screen, and not be displayed. If you select a part that does not contain performance data, notes will not be displayed in the notation. Change the part that is displayed (p. 47). The notation screen feature is particularly unsuitable for the display of difficult, complex musical works that demand accurate notation. Refer to “Some notes on the notation screen” (p. 15). In the notation screen, some lyrics or notes could extend beyond the edges of the screen, and not be displayed. In certain cases, such as when playing songs on disks, the song may lag when excessive amounts of performance data are used. Is the pedal connected correctly? Make sure the pedal cord extending from the stand is securely connected to the pedal jack on the rear of the unit (p. 9). Has a different function been assigned to the pedal? See “Changing the function of the pedals (Pedal)” (p. 56). Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so that the pedal presses firmly against the floor surface (p. 11). Since the HPi-7’s piano sounds faithfully reproduce the sense of spaciousness and reverberation of an actual acoustic piano’s sound, a certain amount of reverberation is still perceptible, 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-7, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose setting.

Case

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.

Titles of songs on floppy disk not being displayed

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 HPi-7) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the HPi-7 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 (such as resonance produced by the HPi-7) 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.

Has the song name data (Sequence/Track Name Meta Event) been entered in the file? Song titles are not displayed if the song name data is blank or consists exclusively of spaces. Is the file name no more than eight single-byte characters? Have any double-byte characters (such as Japanese Hiragana or Kanji characters) been used in the file name? This instrument does not display double-byte characters. For characters that can be used with this instrument, refer to p. 43. Is "MID" used as the extension? The song cannot be treated as song data if a different extension is used.

Meaning

When a song with a pickup (a song that does not start on the first beat) is played back, the measure numbers will be indicated in the display as PU, 1, 2, and so forth.

To protect the copyright, this music file cannot be saved as an SMF. Also, the music file can not be saved. If you want to save it, please save on the same floppy disk.

You can only read the music file. It can not be saved on a floppy disk or user memory.

The protect tab on the floppy disk is set to the Protect position (p. 6). Change it to the Write position. Repeat the procedure.

This floppy disk cannot store the format or save any data. Insert a different disk and repeat the procedure.

The data cannot be saved onto this floppy disk because the format is different. Use the floppy disk in the same format.

A new song cannot be written on this song. Select a different song number or use a different floppy disk, and repeat the procedure.

No floppy disk is connected to the disk drive. Insert the disk correctly, and repeat the procedure.

There is not sufficient space left on the floppy disk or User memory for the data to be saved. Insert a different floppy disk or delete files on user memory, and repeat the procedure.

The floppy disk inserted into the disk drive can’t be read. Be sure you’re using Roland SMF Music Files or other music files compatible with Roland digital pianos (p. 77). Also, if you want to save your work on floppy disk, you need to format the floppy disk first (p. 41).

The floppy disk was removed from the disk drive while reading or writing was in progress. Insert the floppy disk and repeat the procedure.

This floppy disk is damaged and cannot be used. Insert a different disk and repeat the procedure.

16:

Playback is aborted.

17:

The selected image data

cannot be displayed.

30:

Meaning

Be sure you’re using Roland SMF Music Files or other music files compatible with Roland digital pianos (p. 77).

The HPi-7 cannot read the floppy disk quickly enough. Press the

[ (Play/Stop)] button, then

press the [ (Reset)] button and

[ (Play/Stop)] button to play the song.

The selected image data cannot be displayed. If it cannot be made to appear either on the HPi-7’s display or the external display, you will need to prepare image data that can be used with the HPi7 (p. 57).

Save the song on a floppy disk (p.

42) to delete the song data stored on the HPi-7 memory.

The HPi-7 cannot deal with the excessive MIDI data sent from the external MIDI device. Reduce the amount of MIDI data sent to the HPi-7.

A MIDI cable has been disconnected. Connect it properly and securely.

An excessive amount of performance data has been sent to HPi-7 in one time and therefore could not be recorded.

There is something wrong with the system. Repeat the procedure from the beginning. If it is not solved after you have tried several times, contact the Roland service center.

Music Files That the HPi-7 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 HP, 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-7 allows you to use the following music files

●

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

Digital HP-G/R/i 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-7.

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-7 Sound Generator

The HPi-7 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.

Areas for placing the display

Connecting an External Display (HPi-7LE only)

You can connect a computer display or other such external

display to the instrument, and display scores and lyrics on

the larger screen.

Displays That Can Be Connected to This Instrument

In general, a great many of the VGA displays and multiscan

displays that are available on the market are compatible

with this instrument. However, before you connect any

display, make sure it meets the following specifications:

• Resolution 640 x 240 pixels

• Horizontal scan frequency 31.5 kHz

• Vertical scan frequency 60 Hz

• Connector 3-row, 15-pin D-Sub type

• Signal Analog

* An externally connected display will

mirror the content of the HPi-7LE’s onboard display. When connected, the screen is blank at the top and bottom, as shown in the figure.

* Confirm that the display to be used is compatible with the

frequencies mentioned above. Using a display that is not compatible with the above frequencies may result in incorrect image output when images move, and in certain cases may even damage the display.

Making the 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.

1 Turn off the power to the HPi-7LE and the

display to be connected.

2 Use display cable (sold separately) to connect the

display to the Ext Display connector on the HPi7LE.

3 Switch on the HPi-7LE.

4 Switch on the connected display.

→

For more on handling the external display, refer to your display’s owner’s manual.

* When using the HPi-7LE with a display placed on it, be sure

to note the following precautions.

• Make sure the display sits stably on the HPi-7LE before use.

• If you are placing the display on top of the HPi-7LE, we recommend using a liquid crystal display (LCD). If using a cathode ray tube (CRT) display, take extra care to ensure that the display rests stably on the instrument.

• Keep the base of the display within one of the areas shown by the dotted lines in the illustration below.
