Opening/Closing the Keyboard Cover
You must use both hands to open or close the keyboard cover.
* When opening or closing the keyboard cover, please be careful not to get your ngers pinched between the movable part and the panel. In
places where small children are present, make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.
Opening the Keyboard Cover
Use both hands to lift the edge of the lid, and push it away from
yourself.
* If you have any objects (papers, metal objects, etc.) placed on
top of the keyboard cover, do not open the cover. Otherwise,
such objects may slip inside the instrument, and then become
irrecoverable.
Basic Operation of the RP102
Closing the Keyboard Cover
Grasp and gently lower the edge of the lid with both hands.
Turning the Power On/O
Press the [L] (power) button to turn on the power.
If you hold down the [L] (power) button for one
second or longer, the power turns o.
Adjusting the Volume
Use the two volume buttons to adjust the volume.
Volume (up) button: Increases the volume.
Volume (down) button: Decreases the volume.
You can adjust the speaker volume when using the
built-in speakers, or the headphones volume when
headphones are connected.
* The number of indicators lit at the right of the
volume buttons changes according to the
volume. If all indicators are lit, the volume is at its
maximum. If all indicators are unlit, there will be no
sound.
The power to this unit will be turned o automatically after a predetermined
amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its
buttons or controls were operated (Auto O function). If you do not want the
power to be turned o automatically, disengage the Auto O function (p. 5).
5 Any settings that you are in the process of editing will be lost when the power
is turned o. If you have any settings that you want to keep, you should save
them beforehand.
5 To restore power, turn the power on again.
Changing the Settings

Using the Pedals to Modify the Sound
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 ngers from the keyboard.
By pressing the pedal to dierent depths, you can adjust the length of sustain
(short, long). On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the
strings for notes other than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with
what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. This unit simulates this sympathetic
vibration (damper resonance).
Sostenuto pedal
This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already pressed when you
pressed the pedal.
Soft 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.
Bottom Panel Connections
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn o all the units before making any connections.
PHONES Jacks
Since this unit has two headphones jacks, two people can
also use headphones simultaneously. And you can connect
the external ampliered speakers (p. 6)
Pedal Connector
Connect the pedal cord of the dedicated stand here. For
details, refer to the leaet “Stand Assembly.”
DC In Jack
Connect the included AC adaptor here. For details, refer to the
leaet “Stand Assembly.”
Power Cord
AC Outlet
Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator faces
upwards and the side with textual information faces
downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC
adaptor into an AC outlet.
Stereo-mini plug
Stereo phone plug
USB Memory for Update Port
This connector will be used if there are future additions or
expansions to the RP102’s functionality.
* Never insert or remove the USB ash drive while this unit is
turned on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data
on the USB ash drive.
* Use a commercially available USB ash drive or a USB ash
drive sold by Roland. However, we cannot guarantee that
all commercially available USB ash drives will work with
this unit.
USB Computer Port
If you have a DAW program on your computer, or if you have SMF data, you can use a commercially available USB cable
to connect the RP102's USB Computer port to the USB port of your computer and do the following.
(DAW: music production software (sold separately), SMF: song les)
5 SMF data played back on your DAW can be sounded by the RP102.
5 MIDI data can be transferred between the RP102 and your DAW, letting you produce and edit music in a variety of ways.

You can divide the keyboard into left and right sections so that two people can play the same pitch ranges.
This function lets you use the unit as though it were two pianos.
The keyboard will be divided into left and right sections, with “middle C” located in the center of each section.
You can choose one of the following ways in which the sound will be heard.
Setting Explanation
OFF (default) Clears the setting that divides the keyboard into two sections.

INDIVIDUAL
* The left and right sections will have
the same tone (Concert Piano).
* The damper pedal aects only the
right section of the keyboard.
* The soft pedal operates as the
damper pedal for the left section of
the keyboard.
You can change the playing feel of the keyboard.
Setting Explanation
SUPER HEAVY An even heavier setting than “HEAVY.”
HEAVY

MEDIUM (default) Sets the keyboard to the standard touch.
LIGHT
SUPER LIGHT An even lighter setting than “LIGHT.”
FIX The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys.
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 nger the middle A key.
For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each
15
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.”
415.3 Hz–466.2 Hz (default: 440.0 Hz)
The keyboard or song can be transposed in semitone steps.
For example if a song is in the key of E major but you want to
play it using the ngering of the C major scale, you would set the
16
keyboard transpose setting to “4.”

want the power to be turned o automatically, turn “OFF.”
10 minutes, 30 minutes, 240 minutes, OFF (default: 30 minutes)
The sound of the right area will be heard more loudly from the right speaker, and the
sound of the left area will be heard more loudly from the left speaker.
Notes played in the right area will be heard from the right speaker, and notes played in the
left area will be heard from the left speaker.
You have to nger the keyboard more forcefully than “MEDIUM” in order to play
fortissimo (), so the keyboard touch feels heavier.
You can achieve fortissimo () play with a less forceful touch than “MEDIUM” so the
keyboard feels lighter.
