About the rhythm function
This unit contains many built-in rhythms in various musical styles, such as jazz and
rock.
Rhythms include not only drum sounds, but also accompaniments featuring
instruments such as piano, guitar, bass, and strings.
You can also add intros and endings to your rhythms, and insert ll-ins. These
features make it easy to develop eective and expressive rhythmic accompaniment.
Rhythm Flow
Intro
There are two types of rhythms: original accompaniment patterns, and variation
accompaniment patterns, which embellish the original patterns.
It can be eective to use the quieter original patterns in the rst half of the song, and
then use the variation patterns in the latter half, when you want to build excitement.
How to play chords
When a chord is played on the keyboard, a rhythm based
on the chord that was played is sounded. (When the keys
marked with “ ” in the illustration are played, the result is
recognized as “C.”)
Note that it is not necessary to press all of the constituent notes of the chord; chords
can be specied using simple ngering. (When the key marked with “
illustration is played, it is recognized as “C.”)
For details, refer to “Chord Recognition When Split Is On” (p. 12), and the “Chord
Fingering List” at the rear of this manual.

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. The length of the sustain will change subtly depending on how deeply
you press the pedal. 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).

This unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an
acoustic piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For this
reason, you’ll hear the hammers thump when you play the keyboard,
just as you would when playing an acoustic piano. Since this unit
allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound of the
hammers in certain situations, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the oor or walls is a concern, you may
be able to minimize the vibration by moving the piano away from the
wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat
designed for use with pianos.
When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this
unit, the power will turn o automatically. (This is the factory setting.)
If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the “Auto

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? (p. 10)
The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method
(stretched tuning), which makes upper-range notes slightly higher in
pitch, and lower-range notes slightly lower in pitch. For this reason,
you might perceive the pitch as being incorrect, but this is the way an
acoustic piano should sound.
Could you have selected a dual tone? (p. 2)
When this unit is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local
Control to o. Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru
feature is O (p. 12).
The piano sounds of this digital piano faithfully simulate the sense of
depth and resonance of an acoustic piano. For this reason, it may seem
as though there is some reverberation even when the Ambience eect
is turned o.
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves
of notes at the upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding
regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat
dierent tonal character.
This unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On
this unit, the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change
according to the transpose setting.
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 characteristics of an actual
piano are being faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This
ringing is more obtrusive if the ambience eect is applied heavily, so
you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the ambience.
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, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information.”
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.
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects
near the unit 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 this unit 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other
surfaces.
• Keep the volume down.
• Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor,
as listed on the “Information.”

Placement
• 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.
• 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.
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 nish.
Care of the Keyboard
• Do not write on the keyboard with
any pen or other implement, and
do not stamp or place any marking
on the instrument. Ink will seep
into the surface lines and become
unremovable.
• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard.
You may be unable to remove stickers
that use strong adhesives, and the
adhesive may cause discoloration.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a
commercially available keyboard
cleaner that does not contain
abrasives. Start by wiping lightly.
If the dirt does not come o, wipe
using gradually increasing amounts
of pressure while taking care not to
scratch the keys.
