IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries 301 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.

302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of

consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern. 303a The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the units power

consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

304a When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the

power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/ or damage to speakers or other devices.

306b Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries

may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable testing.

307 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.

Placement 351 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.

352a This device may interfere with radio and television reception.

Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers. 352b 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.

354a 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. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b 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.

360 Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on

which you place the unit, its rubber portion may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber portion to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Add The snare stand is supported by means of a tripod. When

installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling over.

Maintenance 401a For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or

one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non- abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to

avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation. Add The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a

preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.

Repairs and Data 452 Please be aware that all data contained in the units memory

may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be written down on paper. During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions 551 Stored settings can be lost due to equipment malfunction or

incorrect operation. To prevent loss of your data, please back up important content or make a note of it on paper.

552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of

data that was stored in the units memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 555 A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during

normal operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

RMP-12_e.book 6

556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units

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).

558d This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous

sounds produced when its played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.

559a When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562 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.

927rev Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you

may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, use the batteries (alkaline batteries).

928 When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of

newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.

929 When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to

avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

Caution when attaching the RMP-12 to a marching carrier If you want to attach the RMP-12 to a marching snare carrier,

use the specified model (sold separately: Roland OP-

RMP12).

Do not put your fingers

between the RMP-12 and

OP-RMP12. Your fingers

could get pinched, causing

injury.

Before replacing the

batteries, you must either

take off the marching carrier

or detach the RMP-12 from

the marching carrier.

When placing the marching carrier on a floor or other

surface when the RMP-12 is attached, be careful not to

subject it to physical impact.

It may be damaged if you set it down roughly.

If you place the marching carrier on a floor or other surface,

you should fold it as shown in the photo. fig.4j

fig.4j

If you want to play the RMP-

12 while its attached to a

snare stand, you must

remove the OP-RMP12.

If you leave the OP-RMP12

attached, you may

experience noise during

performance, and you also

risk dropping the unit.

commercially available drum key, loosen the

screws (A, two locations) by approximately 10 mm. fig.1j

* Avoid placing fingers inside the holes in which the J-rods are

inserted.

2. Loosen the screws (B, two locations) that hold the

J-rods of the marching carrier in placejust

enough to make it possible to move the J-rods.

* Do not remove the screws (B) that hold the J-rods in place. fig.2j

3. Insert the OP-RMP12 into the J-rods.

Insert it all the way, with the front and back oriented as

shown in illustrations. fig.4j

4. Adjust the J-rods so that the OP-RMP12 is

horizontal and parallel. fig.4j

5. Fasten the J-rods by tightening the screws you

loosened in step 2. fig.j

6. While making sure that the J-rods are inserted all

the way, securely tighten the screws on the OP-

RMP-12 that hold the J-rods in place. fig.4j

* If the J-rods are not inserted all the way into the OP-RMP12,

the OP-RMP12 cannot be fastened securely, causing the risk

that it may come off of the J-rods while you perform.

System Settings

Settings that affect the entire RMP-12 are called system settings.

1. Hold down the [BEAT] button for a while.

The SYSTEM icon will blink in the display.

2. Turn the select knob to choose the parameter that

you want to edit, and then press the select knob.

The value of the parameter youre editing will blink.

For details, refer to the section that explains each parameter.

3. Turn the select knob to edit the value, and then

press the select knob.

4. When youve finished editing, turn the select knob

to choose [OK] and then press the select knob.

If you decide to discard the changes you made, turn the

select knob to choose [CANCEL] and then press the select

knob.

You will exit the editing screen.

As an alternative to selecting [OK] in step 4, you can

confirm the change and exit the system setting screen

by pressing the [BEAT] button or a [1][4] button.

The changes youve made will be lost if you turn off the

power without exiting the editing screen.

In step 2 of How to make system settings, choose LCDcont.

Specify a value of 110. Higher values will make the display darker.

In step 2 of How to make system settings, choose LineVol.

Specify a value of 010. Higher values will increase the volume sent to the OUTPUT jack.

In step 2 of How to make system settings, choose Sens.

This sets the sensitivity of the head, adjusting the way in which your striking force affects the loudness of the sound.

Specify a value of -5+9. Higher values will increase the sensitivity, allowing loud volumes to be produced even when you strike the pad softly. Lower values will decrease the sensitivity, so that the volumes produced will be low even if you strike the pad strongly.

In step 2 of How to make system settings, choose RimAdj or RimGain.

RimAdj (Rim adjust) This adjusts how easy it will be to play rim shots.

Specify a value from -9 to +9. If the rim sound is produced inadvertently when you strike the head strongly, decreasing this value will solve the problem. If this value is too low, it will be difficult to sound the rim instrument.

RimGain (Rim gain) This sets the rim sensitivity, adjusting the way in which your striking force affects the loudness of the sound.

Specify a value from -9 to +9. Higher values will allow loud sounds to be produced even when you strike the rim softly. Lower values will produce softer sounds even if you strike the rim strongly.

If the Sens, RimAdj, and RimGain values are set too

high, the RMP-12s sensor may respond to loud sounds

near the pad (such as a strong rim shot on an acoustic

drum), inadvertently causing sound to be produced.
