USING THE UNIT SAFELY

In households with small children, an adult should

•
provide supervision until the child is capable of
following all the rules essential for the safe operation
of the unit.

...................................................................................................................................................

• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)

...................................................................................................................................................

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords—
the total power used by all devices you have
connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never
exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the
extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the
insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt
through.

...................................................................................................................................................

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.

...................................................................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not
use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

• 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.

• Since wood will expand and contract depending on how it is used
and the environment in which it is located, products made of wood
may experience a gradual loosening of the screws over time.
To ensure that your piano remains in safe, optimal condition, you
should regularly check the tightness of the screws in the locations
shown in the illustration. If you find that any screws are loose, use a
screwdriver to tighten them.

Maintenance (Polished-finish pianos)

• Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as that found
on finely crafted wooden furniture, it needs careful, periodic care.

• For regular dusting, use a soft, clean cloth and/or a piano-use

feather duster. Be sure to wipe gently. Even tiny granules of grit
can damage the surface of the unit if you use too much pressure
when wiping.

• If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth that has been

soaked with water, then squeezed dry. Afterwards, wipe it again
with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since
they might deteriorate the surface of the cabinet, and produce
cracks. Do not use dusting cloths that contain chemicals.

• If the cabinet’s surface loses its luster, wipe it thoroughly with a

soft cloth dampened with a little of the piano polishing liquid.

• About piano polishing liquid

• Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions for the

product.

• Use only polishing liquid that is intended for use on polished-

finish pianos. Using any other polishing liquid may cause
scratches, deformation, or discoloration. To purchase polishing
liquid, contact your nearby musical instrument dealer.

• Use the polishing liquid only on the polished surfaces of the

cabinet. Always wipe the surface with the grain using straight,
even strokes. Do not repeatedly wipe the same places using too
much pressure, since that might result in the loss of luster.

• Be sure to keep the polishing liquid out of the reach of small

children. If the polishing liquid is accidentally swallowed, first get
them to vomit, then take them to a doctor.

Repairs and Data

• 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 USB memory, 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.

10

IMPORTANT NOTES

Additional Precautions

• 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 USB memory.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data
that was stored on a unit’s memory or a USB memory once it has
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such
loss of data.

• 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.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• 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.

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal
operation.

• 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).

• 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.

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

• 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.

• 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 the Floppy Disk Drive

(Using Optional Floppy Disk Drive)

• 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.

Handling Floppy Disks

• 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 degree C (50 to 122 degree F)

• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as

those generated by loudspeakers.

• 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

• 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.

• 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 dust­ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as causing the disk
drive to malfunction.

Protect
(prevents writing to disk)

Handling USB memory

(Using Optional USB Memory)

• Do not connect or disconnect USB memory while it is being read
from, or written to (i.e., while the USB memory access indicator will
blink).

• Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is firmly in
place.

• Never touch the External Memory connector. Also, avoid getting the
terminals dirty.

• USB memories are constructed using precision components; handle

Before You Play

Using the Pedals

Damper Pedal (right pedal)

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use
them mainly when playing piano.

Soft Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an

extended time even if you release your fingers from the
keyboard.

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal
and soft pedal (p. 58).

If you disconnect the pedal cord from the LX-10F while
the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain
applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal
cord while the LX-10F’s power is switched off.

About the Adjuster

If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve
moved the LX-10F to a different location), you can adjust the
adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.

With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step
on the pedal it will at first offer only a slight amount of
resistance, but as you press down further it will start to feel
much heavier. On the LX-10F, this change in the feeling of
resistance is simulated.

On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal,
you’ll first hear the sound of the dampers releasing the
strings. Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of
strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played
resonate sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding
tone.

Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core
of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious
resonance remains, producing a unique form of
reverberation. On the LX-10F, the unique, lingering tones
produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in
addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and
resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).

You can modify the sound of the damper releasing
the string and the sound of the sympathetic
vibration (p. 35).

Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)

The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will
be sustained.

Adjuster

Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there is
a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular, when
you’ve placed the LX-10F on carpet, you must turn the
adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.

20

Soft Pedal (left pedal)

This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that

is not as strong as when otherwise played with the
equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left
pedal of an acoustic piano.

The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.

Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the lid of the piano in the screen. The sound will
become brighter as you open the lid of the piano in the screen.

This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration produced in
strings other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

Adjusts the touch sensitivity of the keyboard.
If you select “Fixed,” notes will sound at a uniform volume regardless of how strongly you play the
keyboard.

This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard sensitivity as appropriate for the
strength of your fingers.
Higher settings will produce a heavier playing feel.

This adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the string.
Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the string.

This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard.
Higher settings will produce slower response.

This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale (p. 36).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of strings for
previously played notes that occur when you play another note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano’s key-off sound (the subtle sound that
occurs when you release a note).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself.
Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.

This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the
strings when you press the damper pedal).
* No damper noise will be heard if Damper Resonance is set to “Off.”

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in
use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence.
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.
For details, refer to “Temperaments” (p. 36).

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for
tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a
minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.

This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,” a tuning method specifically for pianos, in which
the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the LX-10F will be used.

Stretch Tuning

Off, Preset, User

(User: -50–0–+50)

If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched
tuning yourself. Play the key whose pitch you want to
adjust, then use the [-] or [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.

35

Adjusting the Piano Sound to Your Taste (Piano Designer)

Temperaments

What is the Duplex Scale?

The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy

with the vibrations of other strings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to
the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do
not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play
a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.

Temperament Qualities

Equal

In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same
amount of slight dissonance.

Just Major

This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot
be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.

Just Minor

The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as
with the major scale.

Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Kirnberger

This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of
modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (

III).

Meantone This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths.
Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

Werckmeister

This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all
keys (first technique,

III).

(Key Touch)

You can change the touch sensitivity, or response of the keys.
You can adjust the keyboard touch as appropriate for the playing
strength of the person who is performing.

Setting

Fixed

Super Light This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.

Light

Medium

Heavy

Super Heavy This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

These settings can also be edited from Piano Designer (p. 35).

Description

The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the
force used to play the keys.

You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less
forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels
lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for
children.

This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play
with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the
touch of an acoustic piano.

You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than
usual in order to play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard
touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even
more feeling to what you play.

54

Sounds Settings

Adjusting the Sound’s Brilliance (Brilliance)

Here’s how to adjust the brilliance of your keyboard playing or the
playback brilliance of an internal song or USB memory song.

Increasing the value will make the sound brighter.

Setting

-10 (Mellow)–10 (Bright)

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such
instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s
played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble
sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure
that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the
other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard
pitch is called “master tuning.”

Setting

415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz

When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to
“440.0 Hz.”

These settings can also be edited from Piano Designer (p. 35).

Changing the Equalizer Settings (Equalizer)

You can use the equalizer to modify the tonal character of the sound
by boosting or reducing just the low-frequency or high-frequency
range of the sound.

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. 80), the left-hand part is assigned to the [Left]
button, and the right-hand part is assigned to the [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.”

* This setting can be used for SMF format songs other than the

internal preset songs. It will not affect internal preset songs.

Initializing the Memory (Format Media)

Caution when Initializing the Memory

• Never turn off the power while “Executing...” is shown in the
display.

• If the screen indicates “Error,” please refer to “Error Messages”
(p. 74).

• Initializing the LX-10F’s internal memory will not initialize

want to return settings other than the contents of internal
memory to their factory-set condition, execute the Factory
Reset operation (p. 59).

• Don’t disconnect the USB memory until USB memory
initialization has been completed.

• While a floppy disk is being initialized, do not eject the disk
from the floppy disk drive or disconnect the cable of the disk
drive.

Here’s how you can completely erase all songs that were saved in
internal memory, USB memory (sold separately), or a floppy disk
(sold separately).

Once an initialization is performed, all songs that have been
saved in memory will be erased. The erased data cannot be
recovered, so we recommend that you check the contents of
memory before you proceed.

If you’re using new USB memory (sold separately) or floppy
disk (sold separately) with the LX-10F for the first time, you’ll
need to initialize (format) the USB memory or a floppy disk
before using it. The LX-10F can’t use USB memory or a floppy
disk that has not been initialized.

If you want to initialize USB memory or a floppy disk, make the
following preparations before you proceed.

• Connect your USB memory to the external memory connector.

• Connect your floppy disk drive to the external memory connector,

Connecting to MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control one device from the other.
For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch Tones on the other instrument.

What’s MIDI?

MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data between
electronic instruments and computers.

The LX-10F is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to
connect the LX-10F to an external device for even greater versatility.

Preventing Doubled Notes When Connected to a Sequencer (Local Control)

When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter to
Local Off.

Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be turned
on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by the sequencer
will be transmitted to the sound generator by the two routes (1) and
(2) shown in the illustration, causing notes to be sounded in
duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To prevent this, the setting
called “Local Off” is used to disconnect the route in (1).

Troubleshooting

If you think there’s a problem, read this first.

Symptom

Power does not turn on

Nothing appears in the screen

Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”

Unable to read from/write to USB memory

“Buzz” is heard from external devices

Cause/Action Page

Is the power cord connected correctly? p. 14

Since the LX-10F uses a liquid crystal screen, it may happen that no text or graphics appear in the screen if the
temperature is below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

Is the pedal connected correctly?
Plug the cable firmly into the pedal connector.

If you disconnect the pedal cord from the LX-10F while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuck” in the
On condition.
You must power-off the LX-10F before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord.

Could you have changed how the pedal effect is applied?
If the damper pedal part is set to Right, the pedal will apply only to the right tone; if it is set to Left, the pedal will
apply only to the left tone.

Could Twin Piano be turned on?
If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will affect only the right-hand keyboard zone and the left pedal will affect only
the left-hand keyboard zone.

Could you have changed the function of the pedal?
If you’ve switched the function of the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal, these pedals will not operate as the soft pedal
or sostenuto pedal.

Are you using (optional) Roland USB memory?
Reliable performance cannot be guaranteed if you use non-Roland USB memory products.

If you are unable to read or write USB memory successfully, change the External Memory setting. p. 61

Are the external devices connected to more than one AC power outlet?
If you connect external devices, be sure to connect them to the same AC outlet.

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.

Could Twin Piano mode be set to “Individual”?
If headphones are connected when Twin Piano is “on” and the mode is set to “Individual,” notes played in the left­hand keyboard zone will not be heard from the headphones connected to the right Phones jack. Similarly, notes
played in the right-hand keyboard zone will not be heard from the headphones connected to the left Phones jack.

Could you have made Transpose settings? p. 32

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? p. 55

Is the setting for the Temperament correct? p. 35

Is the settings for the Stretch Tuning correct? p. 35

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you are playing along with a song and making heavy use
of the damper pedal, the number of notes the LX-10F is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum
polyphony, meaning that some of the notes will drop out.

Is the LX-10F in Dual play? p. 26

When the LX-10F is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to off. Alternatively, the sequencer
could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.

Tone buttons [E. Piano] [Strings] [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”
With the factory settings, connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to the external memory connector
and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds
appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] Tone buttons, so that you can
select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.
You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.

Effect does not apply

Reverberation remains even if You defeat the
Reverb effect

The sound of the higher notes suddenly
changes from a certain key

High-pitched ringing is heard

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

When you are using Dual play or Split play, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the effect
will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split play).

The LX-10F’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the
impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect.
Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for “Cabinet Resonance.”

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top of the keyboard will continue
sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. LX-10F
faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the LX-10F, the range that is unaffected by the damper
pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.

Is the speaker cable connected correctly? p. 14

If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may
sound as though a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being
faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb effect is applied heavily,
so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or a
nearby Roland service center.

If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform.
If this occurs, turn down the volume.
Alternatively, lower the master gain.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the LX-10F to resonate. Fluorescent lights or
glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher
volumes. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances.

• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.

• Keep the volume down.

• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

Music Files That the LX-10F Can Use

What Are Music Files?

Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to the key played, and other
such information. When the performance data (music file) is sent by the USB memory or CD-ROM, the song will be played exactly as specified by the
data. This is different than an audio CD, since the music file does not contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to change tempos
and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many different ways.

Regarding Copyright

Use of the song data contained in the LX-10F or any other song data supplied with it 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.

Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially available SMF music files,
such works may violate copyright law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment. Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright
violation you may commit by creating such works.

The LX-10F Allows You To Use the Following Music Files

VIMA TUNES

VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that contains
image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with lyrics and
images simultaneously. When data bearing the “VIMA TUNES” logo
is played back on a device that bears the same logo, lyrics can be
shown on the screen of a connected external display or television,
letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.

* This instrument (LX-10F) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES

images.

* You can specify whether the recommended tones will be assigned

automatically (p. 63).

SMF Music Files

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.

SMF with Lyrics

“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the
lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “
on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the lyrics will
appear in its display.

” logo are played back

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).

XGlite

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.
