IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

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.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

303a

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power
consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batteries, please use the alkaline type.

304a

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the
power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may
have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.

306b

• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries
may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to
enable testing.

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.

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.

354a

• 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. 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.

360

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on
which you place the unit, its rubber portion may discolor or
mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber portion
to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure
that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Add

• The snare stand is supported by means of a tripod. When
installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are
opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling
over.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or
one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove
stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non­abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit
thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

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

Add

• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a
preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of
time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white
stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product
testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality
of the product, and you may continue using it with
confidence.

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 written down on paper. 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

• Stored settings can be lost due to equipment malfunction or
incorrect operation. To prevent loss of your data, please back
up important content or make a note of it on paper.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored in the unit’s memory 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.

5

IMPORTANT NOTES

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.

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).

558d

• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous
sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound
vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a
greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these
sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
performing at night and when using headphones.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you
will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562

• 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.

Main Features

927rev

• Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you
may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that
the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this
device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if
you are concerned about this, use the batteries (alkaline
batteries).

928

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four
corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and
controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons
or controls get damaged.

929

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to
avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

Attaching the RMP-12 to a Marching Carrier (Sold Separately)

Caution when attaching the RMP-12 to a marching carrier

• If you want to attach the RMP-12 to a marching snare carrier,

use the specified model (sold separately:

RMP12

).

• Do not put your fingers

between the RMP-12 and

OP-RMP12. Your fingers

could get pinched, causing

injury.

Before replacing the

batteries, you must either

take off the marching carrier

or detach the RMP-12 from

the marching carrier.

• When placing the marching carrier on a floor or other

surface when the RMP-12 is attached, be careful not to

subject it to physical impact.

It may be damaged if you set it down roughly.

If you place the marching carrier on a floor or other surface,

you should fold it as shown in the photo.

Changing the Settings of the Memory Buttons

27

Performing in Live Mode

The RMP-12 provides a “Live mode” that lets you lock the function
of buttons that you would not use during a live performance, so
that the metronome will not start sounding even if you
inadvertently press a button.

Hold down the [INST] button for about two

1.

seconds.

The LIVE icon will light, and the RMP-12 will enter Live mode.

The display will indicate the number and name of the

currently selected memory button.

Muting the Sound of the Pad

You can prevent the pad from producing sound in Live mode
(Mute).

You can’t mute an already-playing sound.

Muting Only While You Press the Button

Press and hold down the select knob.

1.

The display will indicate “<MUTE>.”

Buttons that can be used in Live mode

• [1]–[4] buttons: Select sounds

• [POWER] button: Hold down (for approximately two

seconds) to turn off the power

* Live mode will be cancelled the next time you turn on

the power.

• Press the select knob: Mute function (see “Muting the

Sound of the Pad”)

Nothing will happen when you operate a button other than

those listed above, or turn the select knob.

To cancel Live mode, hold down the [INST] button

2.

(for approximately two seconds).

The LIVE icon will go dark.

The Auto Power-off function (p. 17) will not operate in

Live mode.

As long as you hold down the select knob, striking the pad

will not produce sound.

2.

To cancel muting, release the select knob.

Now the pad will produce sound when struck.

Keeping the Pad Muted

1.

While holding down the select knob, turn it
towards the “+” at least one third of a turn.

The display will blink <MUTE>.

Release the select knob.

Striking the pad will not produce sound.

To cancel muting, press the select knob.

2.

Now the pad will produce sound when struck.

28

System Settings

How to Make System Settings

Settings that affect the entire RMP-12 are called “system settings.”

Hold down the [BEAT] button for a while.

1.

The SYSTEM icon will blink in the display.

2.

Turn the select knob to choose the parameter that
you want to edit, and then press the select knob.

Parameter Value

The value of the parameter you’re editing will blink.

For details, refer to the section that explains each parameter.

Parameter

LCDcont

LineVol

Sens

RimAdj

RimGain

Turn the select knob to edit the value, and then

3.

press the select knob.

When you’ve finished editing, turn the select knob

4.

to choose “[OK]” and then press the select knob.

If you decide to discard the changes you made, turn the

select knob to choose “[CANCEL]” and then press the select

knob.

You will exit the editing screen.

As an alternative to selecting “[OK]” in step 4, you can

confirm the change and exit the system setting screen

by pressing the [BEAT] button or a [1]–[4] button.

The changes you’ve made will be lost if you turn off the

power without exiting the editing screen.

Value Explanation

1–10

0–10

-5–+9

-9–+9

-9–+9

Adjusts the display’s contrast.

Adjusts the volume that is output
to the OUTPUT (MONO) jack.

Adjusts the sensitivity of the head.

Adjusts how easily the rim will
sound.

Adjusts the sensitivity of the rim.

Adjusting the Display’s Contrast

In step 2 of “How to make system settings,” choose “LCDcont.”

Specify a value of 1–10. Higher values will make the display
darker.

Adjusting the Volume of the OUTPUT Jack

In step 2 of “How to make system settings,” choose “LineVol.”

Specify a value of 0–10. Higher values will increase the volume
sent to the OUTPUT jack.

Adjusting the Head Sensitivity

In step 2 of “How to make system settings,” choose “Sens.”

This sets the sensitivity of the head, adjusting the way in which
your striking force affects the loudness of the sound.

Specify a value of -5–+9. Higher values will increase the
sensitivity, allowing loud volumes to be produced even when you
strike the pad softly. Lower values will decrease the sensitivity, so
that the volumes produced will be low even if you strike the pad
strongly.

Adjusting the Sensitivity of the Rim

In step 2 of “How to make system settings,” choose “RimAdj” or
“RimGain.”

RimAdj (Rim adjust)

This adjusts how easy it will be to play rim shots.

Specify a value from -9 to +9. If the rim sound is produced
inadvertently when you strike the head strongly, decreasing this
value will solve the problem. If this value is too low, it will be
difficult to sound the rim instrument.

RimGain (Rim gain)

This sets the rim sensitivity, adjusting the way in which your
striking force affects the loudness of the sound.

Specify a value from -9 to +9. Higher values will allow loud sounds
to be produced even when you strike the rim softly. Lower values
will produce softer sounds even if you strike the rim strongly.

If the “Sens,” “RimAdj,” and “RimGain” values are set too

high, the RMP-12’s sensor may respond to loud sounds

near the pad (such as a strong rim shot on an acoustic

drum), inadvertently causing sound to be produced.

29

System Settings

Restoring the Factory Settings (Factory Reset)

This operation will return all of the RMP-12’s settings to their
factory-set condition.

If you execute Factory Reset, all the settings you’ve

changed will be lost.

1.

Hold down the [BEAT] button for a while.

The SYSTEM icon will blink in the display.

Turn the select knob to choose “[Reset...],” and

2.

then press the select knob.

The display will ask “Sure?”

3.

Turn the select knob to choose “[YES],” and then
press the select knob.

If you decide not to execute the factory reset, turn the select

knob to choose “[NO],” and then press the select knob.

Once the factory reset has been carried out, the display will

indicate “Completed!” and you will exit the setting screen.
