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

L2 (Super Light) An even lighter setting than L1 (Light). 

L1 (Light) 

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

N (Medium) 

Sets the keyboard to the standard touch. 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. 

H1 (Heavy) 

Sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than “N (medium)” in order to play fortissimo (ff ), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play. 

H2 (Super Heavy) An even heavier setting than H1 (Heavy).

Headphone Hook 

Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them on the headphone hook. 

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

Settings for items with this icon are saved by Memory Backup (p. 11).

° Troubleshooting 

Problem Cause/Action 

Even though you’re using headphones and the sound is muted, a thumping sound is heard when you play the keyboard 

Problem Cause/Action 

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 malfunc- 

High-pitched tion. If vibration transmitted to the floor or walls is a concern, you may 

ringing is heard 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. 

Power turns off on its own 

If you hear this in headphones: Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substan- tial 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 effect 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 don’t need the power to turn off automatically, turn the “Auto Off” setting off (p. 13). 

Power does not turn on Is the AC adaptor connected correctly? (p. 9) 

Sound wrong, or Pedal does 

are buzzy not work, or is “stuck” 

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.” 

16 

Is the pedal connected correctly? Plug the cord firmly into the pedal connector (p. 9). 

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

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 (p. 3). 

Insufficient volume 

Could the volume limit setting have lowered the maximum volume? The volume can’t be louder than the specified volume limit. Change the volume limit setting (p. 13). 

The volume level of the instrument connected to Input jack is too low 

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor. 

No sound/No sound when you play back a song 

Could the unit’s volume or the volume of the connected equipment be turned down? 

Could headphones be connected? Could there be a plug inserted in a headphone jack? The speakers will not produce sound if headphones or plug are connected to the headphone jacks (p. 9). 

Has Local Control been set to “Off”? When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced on the keyboard. Set Local Control to On (p. 12). 

Not all the notes you play are sounded 

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you’re using the Dual tone (p. 2), if you’re playing along with a song, or if you’re making extensive use of the damper pedal, the performance data may exceed the available polyphony, possibly causing some of the notes you play to drop out. 

Pitch of the keyboard or song is incorrect 

Could you have made Transpose settings? (p. 11) 

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. 

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played 

Could you have selected a dual tone? (p. 2) 

When this unit 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 (p. 12). 

Reverberation remains even though you’ve turned off the Ambience effect 

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 effect is turned off. 

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

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 different tonal character. This unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On this unit, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the transpose setting.

° USING THE UNIT SAFELY 

WARNING WARNING CAUTION CAUTION 

To the completely unit, pull out turn the off plug power from to the outlet Even with the power switch turned off, this unit is not completely separated from its main source of power. When the power needs to be completely turned off, turn off the power switch on the unit, then pull out the plug from the 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. 

Concerning the Auto Off function 

The power to this unit will be turned off 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 Off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off automatically, disengage the Auto Off function (p. 13). 

° IMPORTANT NOTES 

Placement 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally. 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. 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 affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.
