Owner's Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP103e/102e.

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 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes.

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. The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances to be expressed.

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 HP103e/102e also provides a convenient hook where you can keep your headphones when they're not in use.

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

• (Do not drop it!)

• Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/ amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

CAUTION

• The unit should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

• Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

• At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

CAUTION

• Never handle the power cord or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or 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 knob bolt 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 stand (p. 10).
• Close the lid.

• Fold down the music rest.

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet (p. 8).

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, pull the plug on the power cord out of the outlet.

• Be careful when opening/closing the lid so you do not get your fingers pinched (p. 8). Adult supervision is recommended whenever small children use the unit.

• Keep the included the music rest's attachment screws, screws of stand, and wing nut in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

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 supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical 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 amplifiers (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 otherwise 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 powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) 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 of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior 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 oxidization 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 buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, 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-absorbent 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 following 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.

About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for piano performance.

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, adding a rich resonance.

The HP103e/102e simulates this damper resonance.

NOTE 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.

About the Adjuster

When you move the HP103e/102e or if you feel that the pedals are unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows.

• 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.

NOTE If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either the left or right side of the stand to make it easier for another person to turn the adjuster and make the adjustment.

MEMO After 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.

2. Hold down the [Reverb] button and press the [-] or [+] button.

The currently specified value will be displayed. Higher values will produce a deeper effect.

When you hold down the [Reverb] button, the currently specified reverb depth value will be displayed.

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard (Transpose)

By using the "Transpose function," you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps (#) or flats (b), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you to play.

When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).

1. Continue to hold down the [Transpose] button, and press a note to indicate the tonic of the key to which you want to transpose.

The button's indicator will light, and the keyboard will be transposed.

You can also transpose by holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing the [-] or [+] button.

When you hold down the [Transpose] button, the currently specified value will be displayed.

If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting will return to the original value (0).

This can be set in a range of -6 - 0 + 5 (semitone steps).

For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E key.

Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus "4" appears in the display.

When the transpose value is set to "0," the button's indicator will remain dark even if you press the [Transpose] button.

To cancel the transpose function, press the [Transpose] button, extinguishing its indicator.

When you press the [Transpose] button once again, getting its indicator to light, the keyboard will be transposed to the note you specified here.

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 generally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger 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.

Changing the Temperament

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).

Today, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a variety of temperaments 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 following will appear.

Temperament Tonic

You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below.

Display	Temperament	Qualities
1	Equal	In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance. This setting is in effect when you turn on the power.
2	Pythagorean	This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.
3	Just Major	This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.
4	Just Minor	The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale.

Display	Temperament	Qualities
5	Mean Tone	This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.
6	Werck-meister	This temperament combines the Mean Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).
7	Kirnberger	This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).

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 A 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.

If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select a tonic note.

• If you record with a temperament other than equal temperament 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.

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 special 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 following will appear.

Values

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.

Applying the Damper Pedal to the Left-hand Keyboard Area

When you are using Split play (p. 17), you can apply the damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand keyboard range.

If you press the [Organ] button in step 2 of Making Detailed Settings (Function) (p. 25), a display like the following will appear.

Values

On The damper pedal effect will be applied to the sound of the left and right hand keyboard area.

OFF The damper pedal effect will not be applied to the sound of the left-hand keyboard area.

Power-up default setting OFF

Changing How Grand Space is Applied (Grand Space Mode)

If you press the [Grand Space] button in step 2 of Making Detailed Settings (Function) (p. 25), a display like the following will appear.

Values

Setting	Descriptions
1	When the headphones are connected, the depth effect is optimized for headphones, and when no headphones are connected, the optimal depth for speakers is applied.
2	The optimal depth for speakers is used, regardless of whether or not headphones are connected. Grand Space is also applied to the sound output from the Output connectors, making this convenient when you want to play through speakers connected to the Output connectors.
3	The optimal depth for headphones is used, regardless of whether or not headphones are connected.

Preventing the Settings from Changing During Performance

Disabling Everything Except Piano Play (Panel Lock)

The "Panel Lock" function locks the HP103e/102e in a state where only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled. This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if children press the buttons accidentally.

In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be played.

1. Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the [Power On] switch to turn off the power.
2. Hold down the [Piano] button and press the [Power On] switch to turn on the power.

The following display will appear.

All buttons are disabled.

Adjust the volume.

When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound will be heard.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.

Disabling the Buttons When Using a Tone Other Than Piano (Tone Lock)

Even when using Tones other than the Piano, you can set the instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in effect at that time will be maintained). That way, you won't get switched to the wrong settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you're playing.

1. Hold down the [Demo] button and press the [Key Touch] button.

The song or the metronome sound that is playing will stop. The following will appear in the display:

All buttons are disabled while the instrument is set like this. To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again hold down the [Demo] button while you press the [Key Touch] button. Alternatively, you can lower the instrument's volume all the way and switch its power off. Then, turn it on again.

Using the V-LINK function

Connecting the HP103e/102e to a V-LINK compatible image device allows you to control the images with the HP103e/ 102e.

V-LINK

V-LINK (V-LINK) is functionality promoted by Roland that allows linked performance of music and visual material. By using V-LINK-compatible video equipment, visual effects can be easily liked to, and made part of the expressive elements of a performance.

How to Use the V-LINK

Connection Examples

• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
• In order to make connections to your computer, you must install "MIDI driver" software on your computer. For details, refer to the owner's manual for your MIDI interface.

Use a USB MIDI interface cable to connect the USB connector of your computer to the MIDI connectors of the HP103e/102e.

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control the performances on one device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument.

What's MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard which allows performance information to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and computers.

The HP103e/102e provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data to be exchanged with external devices. When these connectors are used to connect the HP103e/102e to external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes available.

• A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is also available. It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland distributor.

Connection Examples

• To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

Playing the HP103e/102e from a MIDI sequencer/Recording an HP103e/102e performance on a MIDI sequencer

* Set Local Off if you have connected the HP103e/102e to a MIDI sequencer. Refer to Switching Local Control on and Off(p. 31). Also set your MIDI sequencer to MIDI Thru mode (so that messages received at MIDI IN will be re-transmitted without change from MIDI OUT). For details, refer to the owner's manual of your MIDI sequencer.

Making MIDI-related Settings

Here's how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI-related settings.

How to enter function mode

1. Hold down the [Split] button and press the [Reverb] button.

The HP103e/102e switches to the set mode.

The indicators for the [Split] and [Reverb] buttons and the button to which the function is assigned start flashing.

Setting various functions

1. Press the button to which the desired function is assigned.

The indicators for pressed button, [Split] button, and [Reverb] button flash.

For details on the contents of each function, refer to the explanations that follow.

1. Press the [-] or [+ ] button to change the value.

If you press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting will return to the original value.

How to exit function mode

1. Press either the [Split] button or the [Reverb] button.

The button's indicator will return to the previous state.

MIDI Send Channel Settings

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1-16. Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.

• The HP103e/102e receives all channels 1-16.

If you press the [Strings] button in step 2 of "Making MIDI-related settings" (p. 30), a display like the following will appear.

Value

1-16

Power-up default setting 1

Switching Local Control on and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to "OFF."

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as "Local Off."

Local Control ON: The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in a linked state.

Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be produced by the keyboard when it is played.

• When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not necessary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If you turn on the power in the order of the HP103e/102e → MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press the [Variation] button in step 2 of "Making MIDI-related settings" (p. 30), a display like the following will appear.

Value

On, OFF

Power-up default setting On

Transmitting a Performance You Recorded

If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the HP103e/102e to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting "On." If this is "OFF," the data will not be transmitted.

If you press the [Play] button in step 2 of "Making MIDI-related settings" (p. 30), a display like the following will appear.

Value

On, OFF

Power-up default setting OFF

If you wish to save the performance recorded on the HP103e/102e, use the following procedure. In this situation, your external sequencer is set its MIDI Thru feature to be OFF. For details, refer to the owner's manual of your MIDI sequencer.

1. Connect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 30).
2. Record the performance on the HP103e/102e (p. 22).
3. Set this setting to "On."
4. Start recording with the connected MIDI sequencer.
5. Start playback of the recorded song on the HP103e/102e.
6. When playback ends, stop recording with the connected MIDI sequencer.
7. Use a connected MIDI sequencer to save the data on a floppy disk or other media.

Troubleshooting

If you think there's a problem, read this first.

The power doesn't come on

Is the power cord connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 8)

The button doesn't work

Is the panel locked? (p. 27)

Is the Tone locked? (p. 27) Turn the power off, then back on.

No sound is heard.

Is the volume level of the HP103e/102e turned all the way down? (p. 9)

Are headphones plugged in? (p. 9)

Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack?

When headphones are connected, the keyboard's speaker stops playing.

Is Local Off selected?

When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to "On" (p. 31).

Is V-LINK switched on?

While V-LINK is switched on, no sound is produced when you press any of the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard (p. 28).

No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected)

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Does the MIDI channel match the connected

instrument? (p. 31)

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played

Is the HP103e/102e in Dual play? (p. 16)

When the HP103e/102e is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 31).

Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its MIDI Thru feature is OFF.

The tone has changed in the Split or Dual play

If you use Dual play or Split play with a Tone button for which tone number 3 or 4 is selected, tone number 1 will be selected for that Tone button (p. 13).

Some tones assign the tone that had been selected before you

pressed the [Split] button to the left hand area of the keyboard.

Please refer to Tone List (p. 216).

Tone doesn't change

Is the panel locked? (p. 27)

Is the Tone locked? (p. 27)

Turn the power off, then back on.

Are the indicators for the [Split] and [Reverb] buttons flashing?

Setting of functions is in progress. Press the [Split] or [Reverb] button to exit function mode (p. 25, p. 30).

Not all played notes are sounded

The maximum number of notes that the HP103e/102e can play simultaneously is 64.

Frequent use of the damper pedal when playing along with a song may result in performance data with too many notes, causing some notes to drop out.

The tuning or pitch of the keyboard or song is off

Have you set Transpose? (p. 15)

Are the settings for the "Temperament" and "Stretch Tuning" correct? (p. 26)

Is the setting for the "Master Tuning" correct? (p. 26)

Song doesn't play back/ Only the sound of a particular instrument in a song does not play

Are the indicator for the Track buttons ([Left] and [Right] buttons) extinguished? (p. 21)

If the button indicator is out, the music on that track is not heard.

Press the track button so the indicator is illuminated.

Can't record

Has one of the track buttons for recording been selected? (p. 22-p. 24)

Tempo of recorded song or metronome is off

If you select an internal song in which the tempo changes during the song, and then record, the tempo will change in the same way for the performances. The tempo of the metronome will also change in the same way.

If you record additional material without erasing the previously recorded song, the song will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo. Please erase the previously recorded song before you re-record (p. 24).

The recorded performance has disappeared

Any performance that has been recorded is deleted when the power to the HP103e/102e is turned off. A performance cannot be restored once it's been deleted.

Depressing a pedal has no effect, or the pedal effect doesn't stop. Is the pedal connected correctly?

Make sure the pedal cord is securely connected to the pedal jack on the rear of the unit (p. 8).

The pedal rattles

Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so that the adjuster presses firmly against the floor surface (p. 10).

Reverberation still audible even with Reverb turned off

Since the HP103e/102e'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 unaffected 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 feature an ample high-end component, which may make the sound appear to have metallic reverberation added. Since this reverberation 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.

When listening through speakers:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the HP103e/102e) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

The bass range sounds odd, or there is a vibrating resonance

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the HP103e/102e to resonate.

Resonation can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is

increased, and when the sound is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance.

• Place speakers so they are 10 - 15cm from walls and other surfaces.

• Reduce the volume.

• Move the speakers away from any resonating objects.

When listening through headphones:

Here, a different cause would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

The volume level of the instrument connected to Input jacks is too low. Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
