Frequently Asked Questions - HP507 ROLAND

How to connect the HP507 to a Wi-Fi network to use the Piano Partner app?

To connect the HP507, insert the WNA1100-RL wireless USB adapter into the USB MEMORY port, then follow the WPS procedure: hold down [Key Touch] and [Transpose], navigate to 'Wireless' > 'Connect' > 'WPS', then press the WPS button on the router and confirm on the piano.

What to do if the HP507 fails to connect to the Wi-Fi network?

Check that your access point supports WPS and uses the 802.11g/n (2.4 GHz) standard. Make sure authentication is WPA or WPA2 (not WEP). Enable DHCP on the router. If necessary, use the manual connection 'Select AP' and enter the password.

How to use Ad-Hoc mode to directly connect the HP507 to an iPad without a router?

Enable Ad-Hoc mode in 'Wireless' > 'Option' > 'Ad-Hoc' = 'On'. Note the SSID and key (5 digits). On the iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, select the SSID (e.g., HP507) and enter the key. Ad-Hoc mode does not allow Internet access, but the iPad can use its cellular connection.

The Piano Partner app does not find the HP507, what to check?

Make sure the HP507 is on, the Wi-Fi adapter is inserted, the piano is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iPad, and the router allows communication between devices. Also check the network status on the piano (icon at the bottom left).

How to check the system version of the HP507?

Hold down the [-] and [+] buttons while turning on the HP507. The version is displayed on the screen. For example, version 2.00 adds the wireless LAN function.

Can I use other wireless adapters than the WNA1100-RL?

Roland specifically recommends the WNA1100-RL adapter (sold separately). Other adapters may not be compatible or may not work correctly with the HP507.

How to maintain the keyboard and cabinet of the HP507?

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust. Never use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive products. For the keyboard, you can use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, but avoid excess moisture.

What does the 'Error 46' icon mean during Wi-Fi connection?

Error 46 indicates that the access point is not supported. Make sure to use WPA or WPA2 authentication, not WEP. Also check that your router is compatible with 802.11g/n.

How to reset the network settings of the HP507 to factory defaults?

Perform a factory reset via the 'Function' menu (hold [Key Touch] + [Transpose]). All Wi-Fi connection data will be deleted. You will need to reconfigure the connection after reset.

Is the sound of the HP507 sampled or synthesized?

The HP507 uses SuperNATURAL Piano technology, which combines multichannel sampling and modeling for a realistic piano sound, without audible loops. It also offers many other sounds (organ, strings, etc.).

Basic Connection Method (Connect by WPS)

The first time you connect the HP507 to a wireless network, you'll need to perform the following procedure (WPS) to join the wireless network.

This procedure is required only the first time. (Once you've joined the network, this procedure will no longer be necessary.)

What is WPS?

This is a standard that makes it easy to make security settings when connecting to a wireless LAN access point. We recommend that you use WPS when connecting to a wireless LAN access point.

1. Insert the wireless USB Adapter (WNA1100-RL; sold separately) into the HP507's USB MEMORY port.
2. While holding down the [Key Touch] button, press [Transpose] button.
3. Press the [←] [▶] (Slow/Fast) buttons to select "Wireless," then press the [Song] button.
4. Press the [←] [▶] (Slow/Fast) buttons to select "Connect," then press the [Song] button.
5. Press the [ ] (W/Ps/Fast) buttons to select "WPS," then press the [Song] button. "Connect OK?" will appear.

For details on WPS operation of your wireless LAN access point, refer to the documentation for your wireless LAN access point.

1. Press the [Fast) button of the HP507.

Once successfully connected, "Completed" will appear.

• If you fail to connect, refer to "Troubleshooting" (p. 4).

• Press the [Key Touch] or [Transpose] button to exit Function mode.

NOTE

• The device (e.g., iPad) running the app must be connected to the same network.

MEMO

• The connection data is stored in memory when you perform the WPS procedure; the device will automatically connect to the wireless network next time.
  All connection data will be erased if you perform a factory reset.

Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode

Here's how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.

What is Ad-Hoc mode?

Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the HP507 directly to an iPad or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access point. This is a convenient way to use the HP507 with an iPad or other wireless device if you're in a location where the wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable, such as when you're away from home.

Limitations

The iPad or other wireless device connected in Ad-Hoc mode will be unable to communicate with the Internet or with another wireless device. However, an iPad or other wireless device that has cellular capability will be able to connect to the Internet via the cellular connection.

Please be aware that if you use a cellular connection for Internet connectivity, you may incur costs depending on your rate plan.

1. Select "Wireless" "Option" "Ad-Hoc", then press the [Song] button.
2. Press the [Fast) button to turn the Ad-Hoc Mode "On." * To turn off Ad-Hoc Mode, press the [low) button.
3. Once in Ad-Hoc Mode, the Ad-Hoc SSID (HP507) will be displayed. Press the [Fast) button to display the Ad-Hoc key (a five-character text string). Write down this number.

MEMO

• The Ad-Hoc SSID (HP507) will be the value that you specified in the WIRELESS OPTIONS screen "Wireless ID" setting.

• The Ad-Hoc SSID and the Ad-Hoc key can also be verified in the status screen.

• On the iPad or other wireless device that you want to connect, select the Ad-Hoc SSID shown in the above screen to make the connection. (For example, on an iPad, choose [Settings] [Wi-Fi] [Choose a Network] to select the above Ad-Hoc SSID (HP507). A password entry screen will appear; enter the above Ad-Hoc key.)

For details on how to connect to a wireless LAN from an iPad or other device, refer to the owner's manual of that device.

1. Press the [Key Touch] or [Transpose] button to exit Function mode.
2. When you have finished the Ad-Hoc mode connection, restore the iPad settings in [Settings] [Wi-Fi] [Choose a Network] to their previous state.

Troubleshooting

• For problems related to communication, refer also to the owner's manual of your wireless LAN access point.
• For details on operating your wireless LAN access point, refer to its owner's manual.
