Roland HP107 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Owner’s Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP107.
Main Features
Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-ranging Expressiveness
The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of the
hammers striking the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand piano.
Maximum polyphony of 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running
out of notes.
This instrument is receptive to all the subtle nuances that a performer might use, and skillfully
reproduces them—whether it be slight variations in touch or the resonance in the strings when
the keys are released, or the type of resonance heard when the pedals are released (Piano
Resonance). In addition, this instrument features a “Grand Sound” speaker system, and
simulates the full, three-dimensional nature of a concert grand piano (Grand Space), which
together help to deliver a sound with even greater clarity and power (Dynamic Emphasis).
Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano
This instrument features a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the touch
of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in the upper
register. In addition, on the HP107, even the distinctive “click” that you feel when pressing a
key on a grand piano has been faithfully simulated (escapement mechanism).
The instrument features two kinds of key touch control; key response, which changes the
keys’ apparent weighting, and “hammer response function,” which reproduces the piano
hammers’ subtle movements. The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows
subtle performance nuances to be expressed.
Expressiveness Only a Digital Instrument Can Provide
The HP107 lets you add just the right sounds to the piano for an effect that is full and rich.
You can layer different instrument sounds over the piano sound, layer sounds one octave
higher, and use a pedal to control the volume.
Comfortable for Use with Headphones
Special effects applied to the sound when headphones are used make listening through
headphones comfortable, not fatiguing. And in addition to an indicator on the Front panel that
lights up when you connect a pair of headphones, the HP107 also provides a convenient hook
where you can keep your headphones when they’re not in use.
A Variety of Helpful Practice Features and Built-in Piano Songs
A metronome function and “two-track recorder,” the built-in songs for a collection of scores
(60 songs included), and other features let you experience piano lessons in ways possible only
with a digital piano.
