he KR-1077 represents the culmination of years of R oland innovation in musical
instrument design and digital sound technology. C rafted with unprecedented attention to detail, the KR-1077 permits a level of expression and breadth of performance never before possible with a digital piano.
Easy-view LCD with touch screen control
With so many features, you may think the KR-1077 is difficult to operate. In reality, it’s amazingly simple. The
easy-view LCD touch screen puts all sounds and functions right at your fingertips. Plus, the Navigator functions let you focus on the music and not the technology.
Convenient Score Display Function
Score Display is ideal if you’re learning to read music — simply record your performance, and the notation is displayed on the screen. It also displays musical sequences to make composing and
arranging with the built-in mul­titrack recorder easier. And if you load commercially available SMF song files you can enjoy on-screen display of the notation for various instrument parts as well as lyrics for karaoke fun.
Newly developed grand piano sounds and keyboard
Roland designed the KR-1077 to be as expressive as the world’s best acoustic pianos. The result is incredibly wide dynamic range and faithful touch even during delicate pianis­simo and energetic fortissimo passages. In fact, the acoustic piano sounds are nothing less than the essence of all the world’s greatest grand pianos combined! The new Progressive Hammer Action keyboard provides the responsive touch of an acoustic piano. This is made possible through a dynamic weight, “touch variation” design with a heavier touch in the lower range and lighter touch in the
upper, as well as an escapement mechanism on each key that accurately simulates the char­acteristic “click-feel” of a grand piano keyboard during subtle pianissimo passages.
Hundreds of tones plus flexible ensemble performance functions
The KR-1077 features over 600 sounds to provide you with just the right tone for any style of music. The sounds conform to th e latest generation of the General MIDI standard–GM2–as well as Roland’s globally accepted GS format. What’s more, versatile on-board ensemble performance functions and multiple instru­ment automatic accompaniment offer even more playing and practicing options. Whether you need a simple boogie woogie piano backing, or a rock group or big band jazz ensemble behind you—or even a full classical orchestra—the KR-1077 has them all on-call. And 128-note polyphony ensures that the most complex passages are faithfully produced, even with full backing accompaniment and the damper pedal depressed.
Handy music data playback and vocal performance features
Other music study and performance capabilities include play­back of SMF song files, complete with Music Minus One— great for karaoke performances. There’s also a microphone input for vocals, and echo and automatic vocal harmonies. You can even change the characteristics of your voice—such as from male to female or vice-versa!
Powerful effects including 3D “surround” sound
Versatile in every way, the KR-1077 also features a variety of digital effects to provide the quality of tone you need at the touch of a button. An advanced 3D surround sound effect lets you simulate the excitement of a live performance. For example, you can place
the instrument you are playing firmly at “center stage” while ensemble sounds are spread naturally to the left and right.
Visual Entertainment With M oving K eys (KR-1077M)
As a step towards providing even more musical pleasure, the KR­1077M features a newly developed keyboard movement mechanism. Having a party? Just select an SMF or other music file for playback,
and let your guests enjoy watching the keysas they automati­cally “play” the music. Naturally, it’s fun to watch on your own, too.
