Owner's Manual Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP107e. 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 HP107e, 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 Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "Using the unit safely" (p. 2) and "Important notes" (p. 4). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner's manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. The HP107e 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 HP107e 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.
