This function is called “Piano Designer”.

MEMO
The process of creating your own piano tone can also be done using touch operations on the dedicated app.
→ “Using the Piano with an App” (p. 21)

   The [ ] button goes dark.

can adjust the reference pitch of this piano so that you will harmonize correctly with the other instruments. The reference pitch is usually expressed as the frequency that is heard when you play the middle A (A4) note. The action of matching the reference pitch to other instruments is called “tuning”.
Temperament| You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you can experience the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
Equal (default setting)| 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.
Just Major| 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.
Just Minor
Pythagorean| This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Although triadic chords are slightly dissonant, this tuning is suitable for songs that have a simple melody.
Kirnberger I| Kirnberger I. 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.
Kirnberger II| Kirnberger II. This is a revision of Kirnberger I that reduces the limitations on the usable keys.
Kirnberger III| Kirnberger III. 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.
Meantone| 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.
Werckmeister| Werckmeister. This temperament consists of eight perfect fifths and four narrowed fifths. 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.
Arabic| This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
Temperament key| C–B (default value: C)| This sets the primary key of the temperament. 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.

Editing the Grand Piano Tone
You can adjust various aspects of the grand piano’s tone, including the string and pedal resonances, and the sound of the hammers striking the strings.

• Only tones belonging to the “Grand” group can be adjusted.

  1. Press the [ ] button.

  2. Press the [–] [+] buttons to access the “Piano Tone Edit” screen.

  3. Press the [ ] knob to confirm.

     The Grand Piano tone settings are saved.

| Items| Value| Explanation
---|---|---|---
Piano Tone Edit| Lid| 0–6 (default value: 4)| Adjusts the extent to which the top lid of the grand piano is open.
The sound will become more mellow as you close the top lid of the piano in the screen. The sound will become brighter as you open the top lid of the piano in the screen.
Key Off Noise| Off, 1–10 (default value: 3)| Adjusts the action noise that is heard when you release a key. Higher settings produce a louder action noise.
Hammer Noise| – 2–0–+2 (default value: 0)| Adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the string. Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the string.
Duplex Scale| Off, 1–10 (default value: 2)| Adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale. Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
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.
Full Scale String Res.| Off, 1–10 (default value: 4)| Adjusts the resonant sound of an acoustic piano (the sound produced by the strings of previously-pressed keys vibrating in sympathy with newly played notes, or the sound of other strings vibrating in sympathy with the notes you play while pressing the damper pedal). Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Damper Resonance| Off, 1–10| Adjusts the overall resonance of the acoustic piano when its damper pedal is pressed (the sound of other strings vibrating in sympathy when you press the damper pedal, and the resonance of the entire instrument).
Higher settings produce louder sympathetic resonance.
Key Off Resonance| Off, 1–10 (default value: 3)| Adjusts the resonance of the subtle sounds that occur when a key of an acoustic piano is released. A higher value produces a larger tonal change during the decay.
Cabinet Resonance| Off, 1–10 (default value: 4)| Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself. Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
Soundboard Type| 1–5 (default value: 1)| Selects how the soundboard of the acoustic piano will resonate. You can choose from five different types of resonance.
Damper Modeling| Off, 1–10 (default value: 5)| Adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal).
Single Note Tuning ()| – 50.0–0–+50.0 (per key)| Adjusts the tuning of each individual key. For example, you can adjust the width of stretched tuning, which tunes the higher register slightly higher and the lower register slightly lower.
Single Note Volume ()| -50–0 (per key)| Adjusts the volume of each key. Lower settings decrease the volume.
Single Note Character *()| -5–0–+5 (per key)**| Adjusts the tonal character of each key. Higher settings produce a harder sound, and lower settings produce a softer tone.

• The result of this effect will differ depending on the pitch range.
  Reset Setting| Resets the “Piano Tone Edit” settings of the selected tone to their factory settings.

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.

Use due care when handling the lid

• The lid should be opened and closed only by an adult.
• **** The lid must not be opened too far (we recommend that you do not open it by more than about 30 degrees). If opened to an extreme degree, you risk damaging the piano or having the lid fall unexpectedly. Also, when opening the lid, make sure that no one is in the way.

CAUTION
Cautions when moving this unit
If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

• Check to make sure the screws 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.
• Raise the adjusters on the pedal (p. 6).
• Close the lid.
• Close the top.
• Fold down the music stand.

• Music rest (p. 6)
• Top stick (p. 7)

• When opening and closing the keyboard cover, use due caution so as not to get your fingers pinched. Whenever a child uses the unit, an adult should be on hand to provide guidance and supervision.
• Do not close the cover if there are any objects, such as sheet music, remaining on top of the keyboard.
• As a safety precaution, always make sure to lower the top lid and close the keyboard cover before moving the piano.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Placement

• Do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
  Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• 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. 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.

Concerning the Care of the Unit (Mirror Finish)

• The surface of this unit has been polished so as to create a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Since this beautiful finish is as delicate as that of the highest quality, wood-crafted furniture, it needs to be cared for at regular intervals. Please make sure to observe the following when caring for the unit.
• For routine care, gently clean the surface using a soft cloth or a piano-use feather duster. You must avoid applying any force, since even the tiniest particles of sand or grit can produce scratches if you wipe too hard.
• If the finish loses its luster, use a soft cloth dampened with some polishing liquid to evenly wipe the surface of the unit.
• Avoid using detergents or other cleaners, as they can cause the surface finish to deteriorate. This may lead to the formation of cracks or other imperfections. Also, do not use chemically-enhanced cleaning cloths.
• Precautions concerning the use of polishing agents
• Refer to the instructions that came with the polishing agent for instructions on its proper use.
• Use only polishing agents that are designed specifically for use on the mirror finishes of pianos. By using any other product, you risk causing scratches, deformation, discoloration, etc. To purchase an appropriate product, please consult the nearest musical instrument store.
• Use the product only on the portions of this unit that have a mirror-like finish, and using an even touch, apply it equally over the entire surface. If you apply more force in one place over another, you risk losing some of the luster of the finish.
• Store in a location that is out of the reach of small children. If accidentally ingested, induce vomiting immediately. Then, see a doctor to obtain a diagnosis.

• Before sending the unit away for repairs, be sure 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, be sure to write down the needed information.
• 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 rest while it is in use.
• Do not use connection cables that contain a built-in resistor.

Using External Memories

• Please observe the following precautions when handling external memory devices. Also, make sure to carefully observe all the precautions that were supplied with the external memory device.
