Thank you for purchasing the Roland E-80 Music Workstation. The E-80 is Roland’s most complete arranger keyboard
yet, a collection of all major advantages a Roland instrument can offer: perfect accompaniments, high-class sounds,
the possibility to expand the number of sounds via two optional expansion boards (SRX series), a D Beam controller,
virtual harmonic organ bars, professional effects, a Vocal Harmonist, the Cover functions first introduced on Roland’s
unique DisCover 5 keyboard, a Guitar mode… There’s simply too much to mention in this introduction.
Much care has been taken to facilitate access to all those countless functions, which is why the E-80 comes with a full-
color touch screen and a user interface that walks you through anything you may want to do with your E-80.
To get the most out of the E-80 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this
Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and use “key” only when refer-
ring to the E-80’s keyboard.
To save space (and time), let us agree to use the word “song” when referring to Standard MIDI Files.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the “Important notes” on p. 11. They provide information concerning the
proper operation of the E-80. Be sure to keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
