$ HP103_e.book Page 4 Sunday, September 12, 2004 1:37 PM HP103e/102e - Important notes Important notes In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “Using the unit safely” (p. 2), please read and observe the following: Power Supply Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power may cause this unit to malfunction or may pro- duce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate elec- trical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet. + _ Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/ or damage to speakers or other devices. + Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach. Placement + Using the unit near power amplifier (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference +_ This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers. Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off. + Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or other- wise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, 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 pow- erful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or dis- color the unit. + When moved from one location to another where the temper- ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (con- densation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated. +_ Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish. + _ Do not allow objects to remain on top oftthe keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to pro- duce sound. + Do notpaste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exte- rior finish. Maintenance +_ To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish. + Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation. + The pedals of this unit are made of brass. Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidiza- tion process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using commercially available metal polisher. Additional Precautions Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's but- tons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions. + When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the con- nector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal ele- ments. +_ A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during nor- mal operation. + _ To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head- phones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night). + When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-absor- bent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction. + Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use. + Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the follow- ing precautions. + Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable. Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure that no pets or other small animals are located on top of the instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design of this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up getting trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered, you must immediately switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. You should then consult with the retailer from whom the instrument was purchased, or contact the nearest Roland Service Center.

Soft Pedal Damper Pedal Sostenuto Pedal Damper pedal (right pedal) While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you take your fingers off the keys. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, add- ing a rich resonance. The HP103e/102e simulates this damper resonance. You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper pedal. Please refer to “Changing the Damper Pedal's Resonance” on page 25. Sostenuto pedal (center pedal) This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal. Soft pedal (left pedal) When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound will have a softer tone. When you move the HP108e/102e or if you feel that the ped- als are unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows. O Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the pedals firmly contact the floor.

Adjuster If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either the left or right side of the stand to make it ensier for another person to turn the adjuster and make the adjustment. ME fier adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if the front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it makes firm contact with the floor. Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.

Changing Various Settings Tuning to Other Instruments” Pitches (Master Tuning) In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune the HP103e/102e’s standard pitch to the pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch gener- ally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you fin- ger the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “tuning.” If you press the [Piano] button in step 2 of Making Detailed Settings (Function) (p. 25), a display like the following will appear. The last three digits are indicated in the display. “440.0 Hz” is indicated in the figure above. Value 415.3 Hz-440.0 Hz-466.2 Hz Power-up default setting 440.0 Hz This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power. M Changing the Temperament You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods). Today, compositions are generally created with equal tem- perament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of tempera- ments were used. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended. If you press the [E.Piano] button in step 2 of Making Detailed Settings (Function) (p. 25), a display like the fol- lowing will appear. [OF

Temperament Tonic You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below. Display | Temperament Qualities In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount ofslight dissonance. This setting is in effect when you turn on the power. 1 [Equal This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in 2 |Pythagorean |fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious. This tuning éliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. 3 [Just Major The Just tunings differ from major and 4 Just Minor |minorkeys. You can getthe same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale. Display | Temperament Qualities This scale makes some compromises in just 5 [Mean Tone |intonation, enabling transposition to other keys. This temperament combines the Mean Tone Werck- 6 and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are meister possible in all keys (first technique, III). This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and Just tunings that provides a high degree offreedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III) 7 [Kimberger Power-up default setting 1C Tonic When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to À for a minor key). While hold down the [E. Piano] button, and press a note to specify the desired tonic key. The tonic note you specify will be displayed as follows. Display| CIC |d'E|E|FI|IF |G|A/|AÏE |b Letter eme | C|C#|D|elE|rF|r#|Glarlal)se)8 If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select a tonic note.

• If you record with a temperament other than equal tempera- ment selected, and then want to play back that performance, use this setting to select the same temperament for playback as the temperament you used when recording. When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the HP103e/102e to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments. M Setting the Tuning Curve (Stretch Tuning) A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This spe- cial tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.” If you press the [Harpsi] button in step 2 of Making Detailed Settings (Function) (p. 25), a display like the fol- lowing will appear. OFF This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right choice when using Dual play (p. 16), or when playing in ensemble with other instruments. On This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when you turn on the power. Power-up default setting On

• This effect works only with the piano tones.

Reverberation still audible even with Reverb tumed off Since the HP103e/102's piano sounds accurately reproduce the depth and reverberation of the original acoustic piano, you may! find that reverberation is audible when the Grand Space is enabled. If you want to eliminate the reverberation, turn off the Grand Space function (p. 14-14). In the upper range, the sound changes abruptly beyond a certain key On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one and a half octaves of the keyboard continue to sound until they decay naturally, regardless of the damper pedal. There is a difference in the timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully simulate such characteristics of the acoustic piano. On the HP103e/102e, the range that is unaf- fected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose setting. A High-pitched whine is produced When listening through headphones: Some of the more flamboyant and effervescent piano tones fea- ture an ample high-end component, which may make the sound appear to have metallic reverberation added. Since this reverber- ation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb applied to the sound.
