To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and use “key” only when referring to the KR103’s keyboard. To save space (and time), let us agree to use the word “song” when referring to Standard MIDI Files. Before using this instrument, carefully read the “Important notes” on p. 6. They provide information concerning the proper operation of the KR103. Be sure to keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. Copyright © 2005 ROLAND EUROPE. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the written permission of Roland Europe S.p.a. ENGLISH Thank you for purchasing the Roland KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano. As its name suggests, the KR103 is both a digital piano and what we have come to call an “intelligent arranger” instrument with over 160 accompaniments called “Styles” that provide several variations for different song parts. The “Style Orchestrator” allows you to quickly change the arrangement of the selected Music Style, while you can also load new Styles from disk. Apart from that, the KR103 features 400 different sounds (including Drum Sets), a Music Assistant that helps you prepare the instrument for the songs you want to play, User Programs where you can save your own registrations, a USB port for MIDI communication with your computer, and a host of other great functions. KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano Main features Main features Superior sound source The KR103’s sounds are based on full-length (uncompressed) waveforms. This produces vibrant, realistic sounds. The KR103’s tone generator is 64-voice polyphonic. Many sounds have been processed and edited to provide an even more authentic response. Combined with the new amplification system, the KR103 sounds truly amazing, with a clear high end and a powerful low range. A metronome and several educational functions are provided, while three digital effects processors (Reverb, Chorus and MFX) can be used to further enhance the already amazing sound quality. The KR103 can play back GM, GM2, GS and XG song data, so that you can virtually use any Standard MIDI File available at your Roland dealer or on the Internet. The KR103 is also equipped with a floppy disk drive (2DD/2HD) for data management and importing Music Styles prepared for older Roland arranger instruments. Two instruments in one The KR103 can be used as piano, arranger keyboard (i.e. a synthesizer with automatic accompaniment) or a combination of both – all at the touch of a button. Note: The KR103 supports XG Light and therefore only provides the basic set of compatible functions. Piano Tones that rely on stereo sampling Have fun! The Roland technology used ensures that your KR103 offers some of the finest concert grand piano sounds ever created. New concept The KR103 is 19-part multitimbral, with 3 parts that can be played via the keyboard (Upper, Layer and Lower). The Upper part can be used to play piano parts, melodies, or for drumming, while the Lower and Layer parts allow you to quickly add a second sound to your solo playing. Furthermore, the KR103 provides a new selection routine for Music Styles, Tones, songs, and User Programs. The KR103 also sports a Piano Arranger function that allows you to play chords anywhere on the keyboard. Excellent Arranger

The KR103 comes loaded with more than 160 all-new Music Styles prepared by Roland’s legendary Style foundry. As usual, several patterns are available (INTRO, ORIGINAL, VARIATION, FILL-IN and ENDING), with additional options via the STYLE ORCHESTRATOR buttons.

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Contents KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano Important notes

1. Important notes

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “Using the unit safely” on p. 3, please read and observe the following: Power Supply Additional precautions

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• Before connecting the KR103 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 and readily accessible.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the KR103’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting/disconnecting 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.
• 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.
• 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. 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.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the KR103 in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the KR103 for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on the piano. 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.
• Do not allow objects to remain on 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.

• 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.
• Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidation process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using commercially available metal polisher. Before using floppy disks
• Avoid using the KR103 immediately after it has been moved to a location with a significantly higher or lower level of humidity. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the instrument has been moved, switch it on and wait at least one hour before using the disk drive.
• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—it will click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT button.
• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the drive while the drive is operating (the indicator is brightly lit); damage could result to both the disk and the drive.
• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.
• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to hold the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any direction) while inserting it into the drive.
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin magnetic coating. Microscopic precision is required to enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50°C (50 to 122°F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers. KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Contents
• Floppy disks have a “WRITE PROTECT” tab which can protect the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position only when you wish to write new data onto the disk. Rear side of the disk Protect tab ENGLISH WRITE (you can save data to the disk)

• Disks containing important performance data for this unit should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the “Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive of another instrument (except the PR-300, or a product of the HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s drive. Otherwise, when performing any disk operations (such as checking the contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering the disk unreadable by the KR103’s disk drive.
• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk. If the label comes loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
• Put the disk back into its case for storage. PROTECT (you cannot save data) ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH

• If you need to move the instrument, make sure the lid is closed first to prevent accidents. Connecting headphones Setting up the music stand ENGLISH Set up the music stand as shown in the figure below. The KR103 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night. Plug the headphones into the phones jack located at the bottom left of the piano. Connecting headphones will automatically mute the sound from the internal speakers. The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob of the KR103. Phones socketplug x2 x 2 Phones Phone

ENGLISH Fold the three supporting feet at the back of the stand and check whether the stand is held in place. Be sure to use stereo headphones (such as the Roland RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200). Before moving the KR103, be sure to lower the music stand as a safety precaution. ■Notes on using headphones

• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only by the headset or the plug.
• Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the KR103 before plugging in the headphones.
• Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

Turning the power on/off Turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices. (1) To turn the power on, turn the [Volume] knob all the way down, and then press the [Power¥On] button. The power will turn on, and the power indicator at the left front of the KR103 will light. After a few seconds, you will be able to play the keyboard to produce sound. Use the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume. The KR103 is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. Power About the pedals The KR103 comes with three pedals that are built into the supplied stand: Soft Pedal Damper Pedal Sostenuto Pedal 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 KR103 simulates this damper resonance. ■Sostenuto pedal (central pedal) This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal. Power indicator Power Indicator (2) To turn the power off, first turn the [Volume] knob all the way to the left, and then press the [Power¥On] button. The power indicator will go dark, and the power is turned off. ■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 KR103 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable, adjust the screw 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.

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. Note: After adjusting the screw, press the pedals. If the stand’s front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it makes firm contact with the floor. Note: Always readjust the adjuster after moving the instrument. KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Listening to the demo songs

The string and bass sounds are muted as soon as you start Arranger playback (or switch on the SYNC START function). If you want to double Arranger playback with a sound assigned to the left half of the keyboard, switch on the Lower part (see p. 21). Play a chord (or just one note) with your left hand. The same pattern is now played in that key. You don’t even have to play full chords: For major chords, playing just the root note is enough (e.g. “C” for C major, “A” for A major, etc.) For minor chords, playing the root note and the third key to its right will do. For seventh chords, playing the root and the second key to its left is enough. C major C minor Only the key that corresponds to the chord's name. Root note + third key to the right.

INTRO patterns are introductions, i.e. short phrases that set the tone for the piece you are about to play. (1) Stop the Arranger and press the [Intro÷Ending] button (its indicator flashes). You will now hear the introduction of the selected Music Style. Once the INTRO pattern is finished, the Arranger automatically proceeds with the ORIGINAL or VARIATION pattern (depending on which of these two indicators flashes). Note: If the SYNC START function is on, pressing [Intro÷Ending] only selects the INTRO pattern. Style playback needs to be started by playing a chord in the left half of the keyboard. If the SYNC START function is off, however, playback is started as soon as you press the [Intro/Ending] button. Here is how to add a musical closing section to your performance: (2) Press the [Intro÷Ending] button (its indicator lights). The KR103 now plays an ENDING phrase. At the end of the ENDING pattern, the Arranger stops. As soon as you feel comfortable with the Arranger, you should try to play a melody with your right hand while using your left for specifying Arranger chords. Selecting Music Styles The KR103 provides three memory areas for Music Styles:

• POP/ROCK, BALLAD/ACOUSTIC, OLDIES/COUNTRY, BIG BAND/SWING, LATIN/GOSPEL, TRAD/KIDS. These are the Style families in the KR103’s internal ROM memory. These Styles cannot be erased (but you can modify them in realtime using the Style Orchestrator functions, see 19).

The track buttons allow you to mute the following tracks: ENGLISH ■What are tracks? The term “track” is used only for your convenience. We borrowed it from tape recorders that allow you to record several musical parts one by one. In the case of the KR103, the term is only used to indicate that we are dealing with separate musical parts. Here indeed (like with computer-based sequencers) what really counts are the MIDI channels.

The status of the various tracks is preserved until you change it again, select another song or switch off the KR103. Changing the volume of certain tracks Here is how to change the volume of song tracks if you they are too loud or too soft. The setting range is –64~ These volume parameters apply to the respective tracks of the song you are currently playing back. In most cases, you may want to change the volume of track 4 (melody), 2 (bass) or 10 (drums). Finding another track (1, 5~9, 11~16) that’s too loud or too soft may take some time, because their usage is more or less free. Be aware, however, that not all Standard MIDI Files use all 16 tracks that are available (so that changing the volume of track 16 may produce no audible change at all, for example). These are relative parameters: the value you set here is subtracted from (negative values) or added to (positive values) the song parts’ volume. Note that the upper limit (defined by the MIDI standard) is “127”. It may thus be impossible to increase the volume of a track even by selecting “63” (because the track already uses “127”). Select “0” if you like a track’s volume the way it is. Be aware that the changes you make here are not saved to a User Program.

• Arranger (accompaniment).
• Keyboard parts (Upper and Layer or Lower).
• Your performance in Piano mode. Adding parts to an existing song Solo In this mode, you can record onto one track at a time. The track can be freely selected. Punch I/O This mode allows you to re-record a short section of an otherwise perfect part. Note: Each time you select “New Song” mode, the data in the USR memory are erased. Also note that “New Song” mode is selected whenever you press the [REC¥∏] button. Don’t forget to select another mode before you start recording if the previously recorded parts must not be erased. ■Recorder memory The KR103 provides one “live” song memory, which can contain one song at a time. After completing a song, you should save it (see p. 53). Playing back a Standard MIDI File erases the song in the KR103’s USR memory. You could take advantage of this system to “load” a previously recorded song and to replace one of its parts with your own rendition, or to add new parts. More about “New Song” mode In addition to what you learned on p. 28, here are a few considerations: After pressing the [REC¥∏] button, the 16 track and [RECORD∏] icons start flashing to signal that all 16 tracks are available for recording.

Solo recording mode This mode can be used to add new parts to an already existing song (which you need to play back at least once in order to load its data into the USR memory).

11. Performance functions and effects

Using the pedals as switches Note: Whenever you switch on the [Piano] button, the left and central pedals temporarily return to their “official piano functions”. ENGLISH The KR103 is velocity sensitive, which means that the volume and brightness of the Upper, Lower and Layer notes depend on the force/speed with which you strike the keys. All acoustic instruments (piano, violin, flute, drums, etc.) are velocity sensitive. The harder you play, the louder and brighter the resulting notes will be, which creates a perfectly natural effect. If necessary, you can select another velocity curve to achieve the desired response. (1) Press the [Function] button (its indicator must light). The KR103’s left and center pedals can be used to control other functions than “Soft” (left pedal) and “Sostenut” (central pedal). These default functions are only available for acoustic piano sounds anyway, so that assigning the pedals different functions seems a very good idea. ENGLISH Keyboard Touch (velocity sensitivity) “LFT” “CNT” Function Part Balance Brilliance Balance Transpose Reverb Demo Volume Accomp User Program (1) Press the [Function] button (its indicator must light). Keyboard Function (2) Use the [√][®] buttons to select the following parameter: Part Balance Transpose Reverb Demo Volume Brilliance Balance Keyboard KbdTouch 120

(3) Use [+][–] to set the desired curve: LOW (light) This imparts a lighter feel to the keyboard. Because stronger notes can be produced with less effort, this setting is ideal for children or inexperienced musicians. (2) Use the [√][®] buttons to select one of the following parameters (depending on which pedal you wish to assign a different function to): Soft

(3) Use [+][–] to select the desired function: No Chord When you press the assigned pedal while the Arranger is playing, the melodic accompaniment is switched off, so that you only hear the rhythm part of the selected Style. To activate the melodic accompaniment again, play a chord (or note) in the chord recognition area (left half if the [Split] indicator lights, anywhere if the [Split] button is off). BreakMute This is a great function for Rock’n’Roll songs and ballads. Use it to halt the arrangement either for the remainder of the current bar or for an entire bar (when pressed on the last beat of a bar). This feature allows you to achieve the breaks in “Great Balls Of Fire”, for example. (4) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function. Note: Some sounds use “velocity switching”. This means that by hitting the keys harder and softer, you alternate between two sounds. Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 47). Note: Keyboard Touch applies to all parts you can play yourself (the “Keyboard parts”): Upper, Lower, and Layer. ENGLISH This imparts a heavier feel to the keyboard. Because stronger notes can only be produced when played with greater than standard force, this setting provides a wider dynamic range. (This is the default setting.)

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano Performance functions and effects FilToVar The pedal has the same function as the [To¥Variation] button. FilToVOr The pedal has the same function as the [To¥Original] button. Fill This inserts a Fill-in, but the accompaniment pattern afterward does not change. Orig-Var This changes to Original or Variation without inserting a Fill-in. Intro/End If the Arranger is not running, pressing the assigned pedal prepares the Intro pattern of the selected Style, which will be played back as soon as you press the [Start÷Stop] button. If the Arranger is running while you press the assigned pedal, the KR103 switches to the Ending pattern on the next downbeat and stops as soon as it is finished. Start/Stop The pedal has the same function as the [Start÷Stop] button. OrchestrUp The pedal allows you to select the next Style Orchestrator level (i.e. “Advanced” if “Basic” is currently selected). After selecting “Full”, however, you will not return to “Basic” when you press the pedal again. OrcheDown The pedal allows you to select the preceding Style Orchestrator level (i.e. “Basic” if “Advanced” is currently selected). After selecting “Basic”, however, you will not return to “Full” when you press the pedal again. MelInt On/Off The pedal has the same function as the [Melody¥Intelligence] button. Fade This function allows you to fade in (the volume gradually increases) when the Arranger is started, or to fade out (whereby the volume gradually decreases) if the Arranger is running while you press the pedal.

RotSlow/Fast Allows you to select the slow or fast speed of the Rotary effect. This only works, if the “Rotary” type is assigned to the MFX (see p. 39). Play/Stop The pedal has the same function as the [Play÷Stop¥®÷ª] button. PunchI/O The pedal can be used to activate and switch off punch in/out recording (see p. 32). TapTempo The pedal allows you to specify the desired Style or song tempo simply by pressing it several times at the corresponding speed.

Soft In this case, the pedal functions as soft pedal (a pedal found on grand and digital pianos that reduces the volume). Note: This function only applies to the Keyboard parts. Sostenut In this case, the pedal functions as Sostenuto pedal (another pedal found on grand and digital pianos that allows you to sustain only those notes you played at the time you pressed the pedal). Note: This function only applies to the Keyboard parts. Lwr Damper The assigned pedal acts as damper pedal for the Lower part. Glide When the pedal assigned to this function is pressed, the pitch drops momentarily, then gradually rises to its original level. This is effective when used to play an instrument like the Hawaiian guitar. Note: The left or central pedal only uses the assigned function if you do not press the [Piano] button afterwards, and if the PDLSHIFT parameter page 48 is set to “Off”.

Using the multi-effects processor (MFX) The multi-effects (MFX) processor can be used for processing the Upper, Layer, or Lower part. It can generate various (47) effects, some of which are combinations of two effects, while the Reverb and Chorus processors only generate effects that are somehow related to ambiance or modulation (CHR). Note that there is only one MFX processor and that it can only process one Keyboard part at any one time. (1) Press the [Function] button (its indicator must light).

(5) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function. User Program ENGLISH Reverb is an effect that gives you the impression of playing in a concert hall, a room or another acoustic environment that reflects the sounds that are being produced. When you switch on the KR103, all three Keyboard parts (Upper, Layer, Lower) as well as the Arranger and song parts are processed by the internal reverb effect. If you don’t need that, you can either switch off the Reverb processor (in which case none of the KR103’s parts are processed) or prevent just one Keyboard part from being processed. You cannot change the amount of Reverb that is added to the Arranger or pre-recorded song parts. Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 47). ENGLISH The KR103 contains digital Reverb and Chorus effects processors, plus one MFX (multi-effects) processor. You can switch them on/off and select other types. You can also set the Send level (the amount of Reverb or Chorus) to be applied to the various Keyboard parts. Please bear in mind that the Chorus effect cannot be combined with the MFX (so you need to choose between Chorus or MFX). (2) Use the [√][®] buttons to select the following parameter: Keyboard MFX Part 120

The display now looks more or less as follows. HALL 1

Room 1~3 These types simulate the reverb characteristics of a room. The higher the number (1, 2, or 3), the “bigger” the room becomes. Hall 1, 2 These types simulate the reverb of a small (1) or large (2) concert hall and thus sound far “bigger” than the Room types above. Plate Digital simulation of a metal plate that is sometimes used for creating reverb effects. Works well for percussive sounds. Delay A delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an echo effect and thus repeats the sounds. UPP The Upper part. ENGLISH (2) Use the [√][®] buttons to select “Off” if you don’t need the Reverb processor. Otherwise, select one of the eight available types: (3) Use the [+][–] buttons to select the Keyboard part that should be processed by the MFX: LAY The Layer part. LOE The Lower part. There is only one MFX, and only one Keyboard part can be processed at any one time. You can, however, specify which effect type the MFX should use for each Keyboard part (i.e. even prepare the selection of the MFX type for Keyboard parts that are currently not processed by the MFX): Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the preceding delay effect. It creates repetitions that alternate between the left and right channels.

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano Performance functions and effects (4) Use the [√][®] buttons to select one of the following parameters (depending on the Keyboard part you wish to prepare a different MFX type for): Off Off Off 120 UPP

(5) Use the [+][–] buttons to select the desired MFX type for the Upper (UPP), Layer (LAY) and/or Lower (LOE) part. Remember that the choice of a different MFX type is only audible for the Keyboard part that is currently assigned to the MFX (see above). Furthermore, the part in question (if it is Lower or Layer) must be switched on. Also, please note that the MFX type of the Upper part changes when you assign a different sound to that part (so that a guitar sound uses a distortion effect, an organ sound the rotary effect, etc.). Off: The MFX is off. Enhancer: An Enhancer controls the overtone structure of the high frequencies, adding sparkle and tightness to the sound. Overdrv1~4: Overdrive creates a soft distortion similar to that produced by tube amplifiers. Several types of overdrive are available: (1) Small combo amp, (2) Combo amp, (3) Large double-stack amp (2 cabinets), (4) Large double-stack amp (3 cabinets). Distort1~4: This effect produces a more intense distortion than Overdrive. The numbers refer to different kinds of distortion. Phaser: Adds a phase-shifted sound to the original sound, producing a twisting modulation that creates spaciousness and depth. AutoWah: The Auto Wah cyclically controls a filter to create cyclic change in timbre. Rotary: Simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker. This effect is most suitable for electric organ. By assigning the “RotSlow/Fast” parameter to a pedal, you can use that pedal to alternate between slow and fast undulations. StFlangr: This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic resonance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking off or landing. SpFlangr: A Step Flanger is a Flanger effect with clearly noticeable steps rather than continuous pitch changes. Compress: A compressor reduces signal peaks and boosts low levels, smoothing out unevenness in volume. Limiter: A limiter prevents the volume from exceeding a certain level without boosting low levels. HexaCho: Hexa Chorus uses six layers of chorused sound to give richness and spatial spread to the sound. Trem Cho: Tremolo Chorus is a chorus effect with added Tremolo (cyclic modulation of the volume). StChorus: This is a stereo chorus.

Space-D: A multiple chorus that gives no impression of modulation, but produces a transparent chorus effect (the perfect “stereo maker”). StDelay: Delay is an effect that allows you repeat the input signal, thus creating echoes (repetition). Mod Dly: This effect adds modulation to the delayed sound, producing an effect similar to a flanger. 3Tap Dly: The Triple Tap Delay produces three delay sounds; center, left and right. 4Tap Dly: Delay with four repetition lines. TmCtrDly: This effect controls the delay time in realtime. Reverb: A nice Reverb effect. GteRevNr: Gate Reverb is a special type of reverb in which the reverberant sound is suddenly cut off (and does not gradually decrease). GteRevRv: A gated Reverb effect that sounds “backwards”. GteRevS1: The reverberant sound moves from right to left. GteRevS2: The reverberant sound moves from left to right. 2PtchShf: A Pitch Shifter changes the pitch of the original sound. This 2-voice effect has two pitch shifters, and adds two transposed copies to the original sound. FbPtchShf: Pitch Shifter with several echoes. OD®Chors: This effect connects an overdrive and a chorus in series. (“Series” means that the first effect is also processed by the second.) OD®Flger: Connects an overdrive and a flanger in series. OD®Delay: Connects an overdrive and a delay in series. DS®Chors: Connects distortion and a chorus in series. DS®Flger: Connects distortion and a flanger in series. DS®Delay: Connects distortion and a delay in series. EH®Chors: Connects an enhancer and a chorus in series. EH®Flger: Connects an enhancer and a flanger in series. EH®Delay: Connects an enhancer and a delay in series. Cho®Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in series. FL®Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in series. Cho®Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in series. Cho/Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in parallel. (“Parallel” means that the input signal is processed by two effects that do not interact.) FL/Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in parallel. Cho/Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in parallel. Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 47). Note: MFX type selection is linked to sound selection for the Upper part. That explains why the type you assign to the Upper part (UPP) may change automatically. Note that this does not apply to all sounds. (6) While selecting an MFX type, play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect. (7) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function. KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Using effects Note: If the MFX is on, the assigned Keyboard part is no longer processed by the chorus effect.

The KR103’s Function mode contains more advanced settings you may not need every day. They allow you to fine-tune your instrument’s response. It would therefore be a good idea to familiarize yourself with these parameters. Most settings (“*”) can be written to a User Program (see p. 47).

Here is a general outline of the procedure for all parameters discussed below: (1) Press the [Function] button (its indicator must light). Function Part Balance Transpose Reverb Demo Volume Brilliance Balance Accomp User Program Keyboard (2) Use [√][®] to select the parameter you wish to edit (see below). The “VALUE” message and a setting appear to signal that you can change (“edit”) the selected parameter. KbdTouch 120

(3) Use the [+][–] buttons to modify the setting of the selected parameter. Note: See also “Working with the [+][–] buttons” on p. 18. Note: To return to the default value of the currently selected parameter, press [+] and [–] simultaneously. (4) Use [√][®] to select another Function parameter. (5) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.

Available parameters ● KbdTouch*—(LOW, MEd, HIG, Default setting: MEd) Use this parameter to fine-tune the KR103’s response to your playing dynamics. See p. 37. ● MstrTune° (Master Tune)—(427.4~452.6, Default setting: 440.0) This parameter allows you to change the KR103’s overall tuning, which may be necessary when you accompany a singer, an acoustic instrument, or when you play to a recording on CD or cassette. ● SplitPnt* (Split point)—(36~96, Default setting: 55) Use this parameter to set the split point for the Arranger mode and the Lower part. The note you set here is the lowest note you can play with the Upper part. The number refers to a note. “55” corresponds to the note “G3”.

● LFT & CNT* (functions of the left and central pedal)— (Default setting: “Soft” for LFT/“Sostenut” for CNT) Use these parameters to assign the desired functions to the pedals. See “Using the pedals as switches” on p. 37 for details. Note: The left or central pedal only uses the assigned function if you do not press the [Piano] button afterwards, and if the PDLSHIFT parameter (see p. 48) is set to “Off”. ● UpperOct*, LayerOct*, LowerOct* (octave transposition)—(–4~0~4, Default setting: 0) These three parameters allow you to shift the octave of the part in question (Upper, Layer or Lower) up or down by up to four octaves. This can be useful for Techno/Dance songs where you need a piano sound that plays in two different octaves. To achieve this, assign two different (or the same) piano sound to the Upper and Layer parts, activate the [Layer] button, and set LayerOct to “–1” (or “1”). Note: When a Drum Set is assigned to the Upper part, the pitch of the drum/percussion sounds is not transposed. Instead, the keys are assigned to other drum/percussion sounds (“shifted”). Example: after setting “UpperOct” to “–1”, the bass drum can be played with the C3 key (rather than the C2), while other sounds are available to the left of the C3. ● ChordInt (Arranger Chord intelligence)—(Md1, Md2, Off, Default setting: Md1) This parameter allows you to select the chord intelligence system to be used by the KR103: the Roland system (“Md1”, which makes more sense from an educational point of view, see also page 179), or the “Md2” system, which can be used in the following way: Major chords Press the key that corresponds to the chord’s fundamental. Minor chords Fundamental + any black key to the left of the fundamental. Seventh chords Fundamental + any white key to the right of the fundamental. Minor seventh Fundamental + any black key to the left chords + any white key to the right. In either case, pressing just a few keys is therefore enough to obtain full chords. If you are used to playing full chords, you can switch this function off, however (“Off”). ● Bass Inv*—(On/Off) Use this parameter to change the way in which the Arranger reads the chords you play. See p. 34. ● Chr* (Chorus Type)—(Default setting: Chorus 3) This parameter allows you to specify the type of chorus effect, or to switch off the chorus processor. See p. 41. Note: MFX type selection is linked to sound selection for the Upper part. User This is the setting you programmed with the “Scale C”~“Scale B” parameters. Equal This temperament divides the octave into 12 equal parts. All intervals will be slightly out of tune by the same amount. This setting is in effect when you turn on the power. Werkmeister This temperament is a combination of meantone and Pythagorean temperaments. It allows you to play in all keys. (First method, number three.) Mean Tone This temperament is a partial compromise of just intonation in order to allow modulation. Pythagor This temperament is based on the theories of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, and has pure fourths and fifths. Chords containing a third will sound impure, but melodies will sound good. Just (Maj) This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd intervals pure. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities. Just (min) Just intonation differs between major and minor keys. The same results as major can be obtained in a minor key. Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia. ● Key—(C~B) When playing in a temperament other than equal temperament, you must specify the tonic (the note corresponding to C for a major key, or to A for a minor key) of the key in which you will play. If you have selected equal temperament, there is no need to select the tonic. ● MIDI parameters (Local, Tx Chnl, Send PC, Send LSB, Send MSB)—See page 51. ● FctryReset—After working extensively with your KR103, you may want to recall the original factory settings. Note that the Recorder memory will be empty and that the User Programs contain factory settings after initializing your KR103. Press [Enter] in response to the flashing Yes message. After showing the “Complete” message, the KR103 leaves this function. ENGLISH This temperament is a modification of meantone temperament and just intonation, allowing more freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III). ENGLISH Kirnberger ENGLISH ● MFX Part*—(UPP, LAY, LOE, Default setting: UPP) This parameter allows you to select the Keyboard part that should be processed by the MFX. ● Chr UPP*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Upper part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Upper notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the UPP MFX parameter is set to “Off” or as long as the Upper part is not assigned to the MFX. ● Chr LAY*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Layer part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Layer notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the LAY MFX parameter is set to “Off” or as long as the Layer part is not assigned to the MFX. ● Chr LWR*—(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Lower part (i.e. how much chorus should be added to the Lower notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is only used when the LWR MFX parameter is set to “Off” or as long as the Lower part is not assigned to the MFX. ● Scl Mode*—(UP, ALL, Default setting: UPP) This parameter allows you to specify which parts the Scale settings (see below) should apply to: only the Upper part (“UP”) or all parts (“ALL”). In some cases, choosing “ALL” may produce a more satisfactory result. ● Scale C*~Scale B* (Scale Tune)—(–64~63, Default setting: 0 for all notes) These parameters allow you to stray away from the usual semitone-interval scale (used in western music) by changing the pitch of the notes so as to accommodate other musical cultures or tuning methods (oriental, baroque music, etc.). As you will notice, you can change the pitch of every note of one octave (C, C#, D, Eb, E…). The settings you make here apply to all notes of the same name (i.e. to every “C”, every “C#”, etc.). Most of the time, you will probably select the value “50” or “–50” as they correspond exactly to half a semitone up or down (quarter tone). Other settings may also be interesting, though. ● TPR (Temperament)—(User, Equal, Werkmeist, Kirnberg, Meantone, Pythagor, Just Maj, Just Min, Arabic, Default setting: Equal) 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. You can choose from among the eight tunings described below. ENGLISH ● MFX UPP, MFX LAY, MFX LOE* (MFX type)—(Default setting: Off) These parameters allow you to select the desired MFX type and to switch the MFX processor off. The setting you make here is a preselection that is only used if you assign the Keyboard part in question (UPP= Upper, LAY= Layer, LOE= Lower) to the MFX using the parameter below. Only one Keyboard part can be processed by the MFX at any one time. See p. 39 for details about the MFX. Selecting “Off” means that the MFX is off.

Note: There is no “Sure?” question that gives you time to think. Only press [Enter] if you are certain you want to recall ALL factory settings. Otherwise, press [Exit]. ● V-LINK—(On/Off, Default setting: Off) This parameter allows you to switch the KR103’s V-LINK functionality on and off. See page 42 for details. ● OneTouch—(AUT, TON, TMP, OFF, Default setting: AUT) This parameter allows you to specify how the KR103’s One Touch functionality should work. One Touch is only used when you switch on the [Arranger] button or whenever you select another Style – provided you don’t select “OFF” here. The default setting (“AUT”) means that One Touch performs all of the following. “TON” means that the One Touch function selects a suitable sound for the Upper part, i.e. a sound that matches the atmosphere of the Style you are using. “TMP”, finally, means that the One Touch function uses the Style’s preset tempo if you select a different Style. ● Arr Conf—(ACC, C+B, Default setting: ACC) This parameter allows you to specify whether or not you want to use the melodic accompaniment and bass lines of the selected Style. You may remember that the KR103 activates a stereo string sound and monophonic bass whenever (a) the ARRANGER icon is displayed and (b) the Arranger is stopped. This allows you to play chords (and a bass line) with your left hand in Arranger mode – without using the KR103’s accompaniment function. Select “ACC” if the KR103 should switch to Arranger control as soon as you activate the [Start÷Stop] button. This means that the chords you play are “translated” into melodic parts and a matching bass line. If you select “C+B” (chord and bass), however, the chords you play are sounded by the stereo string sound and monophonic bass, so that only the rhythm part of the selected Style is used. ● Beat Ind—(On/Off, Default setting: On) This parameter allows you to switch the dynamic beat indication of the current tempo (the “pendulum simulation”) on or off. If you feel distracted by the flashing pattern, select “Off”.

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Writing your settings to a User Program

13. Working with User Programs

The KR103 is equipped with 34 User Program memories (1~34) that allow you to store almost all settings (or registrations) you make on the front panel and via the Function menu (see p. 44). It is a good idea to write your settings frequently, even if you still need to do some editing afterwards. Those intermediary saves allow you to return to the previous stage whenever you do not like your last modifications. (1) Press the [User¥Program] button. Part Balance Transpose Reverb Demo Volume Brilliance Balance Accomp User Program Keyboard (2) Use the [√][®] buttons to select the following parameter: WRITE 120 Ent

(7) Press the [Enter] button to save your settings to the selected memory. (Press [Exit] if you don’t want to save them after all.) The display now responds with the “Complete” message. Note that User Programs you write can also refer to a Music Style on floppy disk. If you choose to work with a Style on floppy disk, you need to insert the floppy disk into the drive before recalling a User Program that refers to it. If you forget to do that, the error message “No Disk” appears. If you did insert a floppy disk, but if that floppy disk does not contain the Style the User Program needs, the error message “Not Found” appears. In either case, insert the (correct) floppy and recall the User Program again. Notes about writing User Programs ENGLISH (3) Press the [Enter] button. _ # $ % & ’- @ ^ ‘ !

You can now enter a name for your settings: (6) Use the [+][–] and [√][®] buttons to name your User Program. At some stage, you may come across an asterisk next to the User Program number. It means that the last User Program you selected is still in effect but that the current settings no longer correspond to the ones in that memory. Such changes may include the status of the Reverb or Chorus effect, a changed volume value, etc. Before selecting another User Program or switching off the KR103, you should therefore write these settings to the same (or a different) User Program if you want to keep them. Otherwise, you lose these changes.

KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano Working with User Programs ■User Programs and the USR memory The last Music Style you selected before writing a User Program is also memorized. This even applies to the USR memory that may contain a Style loaded from floppy disk. The 34 User Programs can be saved to floppy disk as a set (see p. 53). Selecting a User Program Selecting User Programs by foot The KR103 provides a function that allows you to select User Programs with the left or central pedal. This may come in handy if you programmed several registrations for a song (one for the verse, one for the chorus, one for the solo, etc.) and need to recall them quickly while playing. This function only works as expected if the various registrations reside in consecutive memories. Though the User Program memory you specified above is already selected, there will be times when you need to select another memory.

(4) Use the [+][–] buttons to select the memory (1~34) whose settings you want to load. (5) Press the [Enter] button to confirm your selection and load the settings. When the KR103 is shipped, User Program “1” contains settings labeled “Twin Piano”. By selecting that memory, you activate the KR103’s Twin Piano mode. The left pedal then acts as damper for the left half, while the right pedal functions as damper pedal for the right half. Note: As soon as you modify any setting (on the front panel or in the Function menu), the asterisk appears next to the User Program number.

(3) Press the [Enter] button. (4) Use the [+][–] buttons to select “Left” (use the left pedal for User Program selection), “Center” (use the central pedal), or “OFF” (no User Program selection). Note: If you select “Left” or “Center”, the assignment you selected in Function mode (see “Using the pedals as switches” on page 37) is ignored. (5) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function. KR103 Digital Intelligent Piano r Managing your User Programs Managing your User Programs Your KR103 provides two functions that allow you to make a backup copy of your User Programs on floppy disk and to load such a User Program set.

Here is how to connect the KR103 to an external sound module, sequencer, etc. When working with an external sequencer, be sure to establish both connections and to set Local (page 51) to “Off”. Out External device ExternalMIDI MIDI device

MIDI You can also connect the KR103’s USB port to a USB port of your computer, in which case the MIDI IN and OUT connectors are bypassed. If you choose to work with the USB port, you may have to install the appropriate drivers on your computer. See the “Readme” files on the enclosed CD-ROM for details. Brilliance Balance Transpose Reverb Demo Volume Accomp User Program Keyboard ● Local—(On/Off, Default setting: On) The Local parameter allows you to establish or remove the connection between the KR103’s keyboard and the internal tone generator. When set to “ON” (default), playing on the KR103’s keyboard will cause the corresponding notes to sound. If you select “OFF”, the corresponding MIDI messages are no longer sent to the internal tone generator – but they are still transmitted to the MIDI OUT port and hence to external MIDI instruments. Sound source Sound source Sound source source Sound MIDI OUT LOCAL ON MIDI OUT LOCAL OFF Note: The KR103 does not receive SysEx messages when the Recorder is being used. Each time you play on the KR103’s keyboard, your Digital Intelligent Piano transmits MIDI data to its MIDI OUT socket (or USB port). If you connect the MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN socket of another instrument, that instrument may play the same notes as one of the KR103’s parts, select sounds, etc. Note: The KR103 receives on all MIDI channels assigned to the various parts. The KR103 contains the following MIDI parameters, which are part of the Function group. Here is how to select them and what they mean: Note: The setting of this parameter is not memorized when you switch the KR103 off. ENGLISH Caution The KR103 only transmits “realtime” MIDI data. Thus, only the notes you play on the keyboard as well as the pedal data are transmitted (but not the Arranger or Recorder data). ENGLISH Note: You don’t always need two MIDI cables. Just look at the arrows in the above illustration for deciding which ports you need to connect the cable to. Part Balance ENGLISH KR-777/177 KR103 Function ENGLISH MIDI is short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”. The word refers to many things, the most obvious being a connector type that is used by musical instruments and other devices to exchange messages relating to the act of making music. MIDI messages are transmitted and received using three connectors and special MIDI cables:

• MIDI IN: This connector receives messages from other You can edit the KR103’s Function parameters via the MIDI devices. display. Here is a general outline of the procedure for all parameters discussed below:
• MIDI OUT: This connector transmits MIDI messages generated on your KR103. (1) Press the [Function] button (its indicator must
• MIDI THRU: This connector “echoes back” all MIDI light). messages received via MIDI IN. The KR103 does not provide a MIDI THRU connector. ● TX Chnl—(1~16, Default setting: 1) This parameter refers to the MIDI channel used for transmitting messages from the KR103 to external instruments (“TX” is short for “transmit”). If the external instrument is set to receive on (RX) MIDI channel 3, select “3” here. Otherwise, the external instrument will neither play nor select sounds, etc. Note: MIDI messages sent from the external MIDI instrument to the KR103 are received on all channels. However, all keyboard information (of the Upper, Layer, Lower, chord, and bass sound) will be transmitted on one channel. For the following, always set the numbers in the same order as they appear in the display: start with “Send MSB” (CC00), then set “Send LSB” (CC32), and finally set a “Send PC” value.

“MSB” and “LSB” are so-called “Bank Select” messages. “Bank Select” messages are control change messages, which were added when it became clear that the number of sounds that can be selected using program change messages (128) was no longer sufficient to access all sounds of a given instrument. ● Send MSB—(0~127, Default setting: 0) Use this parameter to specify the bank that contains the sound you want to select. Instruments with more than 128 sounds (like the KR103) use several banks. ● Send LSB—(0~127, Default setting: 0) Use this parameter to specify the group that contains the sound you want to select. Instruments of other manufacturers may also use this message (CC32) to specify the sound bank (the KR103 only uses the value “2”). ● Send PC—(1~128, Default setting: 1) “Send PC” are MIDI messages that tell the receiving instrument to select another sound (or Tone). There may be situations where you would like to double the Upper part melody with a sound of an external instrument that is not automatically selected. Be sure to first set the “Set MSB” and “Set LSB” parameters before choosing a value for “Send PC”. Otherwise, you may be unable to pinpoint the sound the external instrument should use. Note: The three “Send” values are only transmitted to an external MIDI instrument (or a sequencer). They have no effect on the KR103 itself.
