he KR-1077 represents the culmination of years of Roland innovation in musical
instrument design and digital sound technology. Crafted with unprecedented attention
to detail, the KR-1077 permits a level of expression and breadth of performance never
before possible with a digital piano.
Easy-view LCD with touch screen control
With so many features, you may think the KR-1077 is
difficult to operate. In reality, it’s amazingly simple. The
easy-view LCD touch screen
puts all sounds and functions
right at your fingertips. Plus,
the Navigator functions let
you focus on the music and
not the technology.
Convenient Score Display Function
Score Display is ideal if you’re learning to read music — simply
record your performance, and the notation is displayed on the
screen. It also displays musical sequences to make composing and
arranging with the built-in mul-
titrack recorder easier. And if
you load commercially available
SMF song files you can enjoy
on-screen display of the notation
for various instrument parts as
well as lyrics for karaoke fun.
Newly developed grand piano sounds
and keyboard
Roland designed the KR-1077 to be as expressive as the
world’s best acoustic pianos. The result is incredibly wide
dynamic range and faithful touch even during delicate pianis-
simo and energetic fortissimo passages. In fact, the acoustic
piano sounds are nothing less than the essence of all the
world’s greatest grand pianos combined!
The new Progressive Hammer Action keyboard provides the
responsive touch of an acoustic piano. This is made possible
through a dynamic weight, “touch variation” design with a
heavier touch in the lower range and lighter touch in the
upper, as well as an escapement
mechanism on each key that
accurately simulates the char-
acteristic “click-feel” of a grand
piano keyboard during subtle
pianissimo passages.
Hundreds of tones plus flexible
ensemble performance functions
The KR-1077 features over 600 sounds to provide you with just
the right tone for any style of music. The sounds conform to the
latest generation of the General MIDI standard–GM2–as well as
Roland’s globally accepted GS format. What’s more, versatile
on-board ensemble performance functions and multiple instru-
ment automatic accompaniment offer even more playing and
practicing options. Whether you need a simple boogie woogie
piano backing, or a rock group or big band jazz ensemble behind
you—or even a full classical orchestra—the KR-1077 has them
all on-call. And 128-note polyphony ensures that the most
complex passages are faithfully produced, even with full backing
accompaniment and the damper pedal depressed.
Handy music data playback
and vocal performance features
Other music study and performance capabilities include play-
back of SMF song files, complete with Music Minus One—
great for karaoke performances. There’s also a microphone input
for vocals, and echo and automatic vocal harmonies. You can
even change the characteristics of your voice—such as from male
to female or vice-versa!
Powerful effects including 3D “surround” sound
Versatile in every way, the KR-1077 also features a variety of digital
effects to provide the quality of tone you need at the touch of a
button. An advanced 3D surround sound effect lets you simulate
the excitement of a live performance. For example, you can place
the instrument you are playing firmly at “center stage”
while ensemble sounds are spread naturally to the left
and right.
Visual Entertainment With Moving Keys (KR-1077M)
As a step towards providing even more musical pleasure, the KR-
1077M features a newly developed keyboard movement mechanism.
Having a party? Just select an SMF or other music file for playback,
and let your guests
enjoy watching the
keys as they automati-
cally “play” the music.
Naturally, it’s fun to
watch on your own, too.
