Owner’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Roland KR-11 Digital
Intelligent Piano!
So that you may enjoy reliable performance for years
to come, please take time to read this manual from
beginning to end.
Main features
❏
Three instruments in one
The KR-11 can be used as piano, organ or “keyboard”
(i.e. a synthesizer with automatic accompaniment) –
all at the touch of a button.
❏
270 Tones (sounds) and 136 Styles built-in
Support for a wide range of musical genres. You’ll find
additional Styles on the enclosed Style disk.
❏
Piano Tones that rely on stereo sampling
The Roland technology used ensures that your KR-11
offers some of the finest concert grand piano sounds
available on electronic musical instruments.
❏
64-voice polyphony
Up to 64 voices can be played simultaneously. (In
most instances your KR-11 is 64-voice polyphonic.)
❏
Simple yet versatile Composer
Recording and playback of commercial music data is
easy with the KR-11.
The comprehensive Composer menu includes:
• 16-track Sequencer
• Chord Sequencer
• Song Edit
• Style Composer
• Style Converter
❏
GM (General MIDI) and GS compatible
• General MIDI System
m
The General MIDI System is a set of recommenda-
tions which seeks to standardize the MIDI support
features of sound generating devices. Sound generat-
ing devices and musical data (disks) carrying the Gen-
eral MIDI logo conform to General MIDI
specifications. This means that whenever you play
back music data marked with the General MIDI logo,
the musical response will be identical when played on
any device also carrying the General MIDI logo.
• GS Format
g
Roland developed the GS Format to standardize the
response of sound generators when MIDI is used for
the production of music. By using a GS Format sound
generating device, you can be assured that you will
always hear a faithful, high-quality rendition of any
commercially available music data that carries the GS
Format logo.
The KR-11’s tone generator fully supports both the
General MIDI system and GS Format so you can use
music data that is designed for either standard.
❏
Reads and writes SMF Music Data
The KR-11 is capable of playing Standard MIDI Files
such as “SMF Music Data” (720 KB/1.44 MB format
3.5 inch floppy disks).
