Pedals (KPD-90/RPU-3: sold separately)
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.
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 unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling technique are
KPD-90 (sold separately) RPU-3 (sold separately)
reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance). 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 KPD-90, this change in the feeling of resistance is simulated.
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
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 a grand piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
* When operating the pedal, take care not to pinch your fingers between the moving part and the body of the unit. Pay special attention to this when using the unit where children are present.

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.

Master Tuning
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 reference 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. 415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz
Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.
Temperament
This temperament divides the octave into twelve equal steps. It is the temperament that is most commonly used on today’s pianos. Every interval has the same slight amount of dissonance.
In these temperaments, the primary triads are perfectly consonant. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Although third chord is slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody.
As in the Just temperaments, the primary triads are consonant in this tuning. Beautiful sonorities are obtained when playing songs that are written in keys appropriate for this tuning.
This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.
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. Since the resonance differs depending on the key, chords played in this temperament resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament.
This temperament slightly narrows the fifth relative to Just temperaments. While the Just temperaments contains two types of whole tone (major whole tone and minor whole tone), meantone temperament uses only one type of whole tone (mean whole tone). Transposition within a limited range of keys is possible. This temperament consists of eight perfect fifths and four narrowed fifths. Performance in all keys is possible. Since different keys produce different sonorities, chords will resonate in diverse ways when compared to equal temperament (Werckmeister I (III)).
This scale is suitable for Arabic music.
Temperament Key
Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament Key)
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.
C–B
Piano Designer Lets you personalize your piano sound by adjusting various elements that affect the sound: the piano’s physical strings, the resonances produced by the pedals, the sound of hammers striking the strings, and more. Refer to “Personalizing Your Piano Sound (Piano Designer)” (p. 21).
Hammer Response Adjusts the time from when you play the key until the piano sound is heard. Higher values produce a greater delay. Twin Piano You can divide the keyboard into left and right areas so that two people can play the same range of pitches. Refer to “Dividing the Keyboard for Two People (Twin Piano)” (p. 17).
Editing the Equalizer Settings
You can use the equalizer to modify the tone color by boosting or reducing just the low-frequency or high-frequency range of the sound. To edit the equalizer settings, use the [K] [J] buttons to select “Equalizer,” and then press the [Function] (Enter) button.

° USING THE UNIT SAFELY WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION
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. 28).
Use only the stand that is recommended This unit should be used only with a stand
that is recommended by Roland.
Do not place in a location that is unstable When using the unit with a stand
recommended by Roland, the stand must
be carefully placed so it is level and sure to
remain stable. If not using a stand, you still
need to make sure that any location you
choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.
Precautions regarding placement of this unit on a stand Be sure to follow the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual carefully when placing this unit on a stand (p. 2).
If it is not set up properly, you risk creating
an unstable situation which could lead to the unit falling or the stand toppling, and may result in injury.
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the correct voltage Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied
with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be
designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord
Use only the attached power cord. Also, the
supplied power cord must not be used with
any other device.
CAUTION
Use only the specified stand(s)
This unit is designed to be used in
combination with specific stands (*1)
manufactured by Roland. If used in
combination with other stands, you risk
sustaining injuries as the result of this product dropping down or toppling over due to a lack of stability.

Evaluate safety issues before using stands Even if you observe the cautions given in the owner’s manual, certain types of handling
may allow this product to fall from the stand, or cause the stand to overturn. Please be
mindful of any safety issues before using this product.
Cautions when moving this unit
Since this product is very heavy, you must
make sure that a sufficient number of people are on hand to help, so you can lift and move it safely, without causing strain. Make sure
to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage. If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below.
• Check to make sure the Knob Bolt securing the unit to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice any loosening. • Disconnect the power cord.
• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices. • Remove the music stand.

° IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• 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.
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.
• 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 off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.
Repairs and Data
• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure to make a backup of the data stored within it; or you may prefer to write down the needed information. Although we will do our utmost to preserve the data stored in your unit when we carry out repairs, in some cases, such as when the memory section is physically damaged, restoration of the stored content may be impossible. Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
Additional Precautions
• Any data stored within the unit can be lost as the result of equipment failure, incorrect operation, etc. To protect yourself against the irretrievable loss of data, try to make a habit of creating regular backups of the data you’ve stored in the unit.
• Roland assumes no liability concerning the restoration of any stored content that has been lost.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.
• Use only the specified expression pedal. By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor.
