&& Panel Descriptions

Damper Pedal Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you release your fingers from the keyboard. On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, youll first hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings. Then, you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate sympathetically, resulting in a rich, resounding tone. Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly while a rich, spacious resonance remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating sounds (Damper Resonance).

Sostenuto Pedal The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.

Soft Pedal This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.

Tuning (*1)

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning) When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note thats played when you finger the middle A key (A4). For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instruments standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called master tuning.

415 .3440 .0466 .2 Hz

Temprmnt (*1)

Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament) 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.

Screen Explanation Qualities

EQU Equal In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance.

MAJ 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.

MIN 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.

PYTH 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.

KIRN Kirnberger This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).

MEAN Meantone This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

WERC Werckmeister This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).

ARB Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Tmpr Key (*1)

Specifying a Songs Tonic (Temperament Key) When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key 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).

If you choose an equal temperament, theres no need to select a temperament key.

Symptom Cause/Action Page

Even though youre using head- phones and the sound is muted, a thumping sound is heard when you play the keyboard

The unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic pianos playing touch as realistically as possible. For this reason, youll hear the hammers thump when you play the keyboard, just as you would when playing an acoustic piano. Since this unit allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound of the hammers in certain situations, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the floor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with pianos.

Power turns off on its own When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this unit, the power will turn off automatically. (This is the factory setting). If you dont need the power to turn off automatically, turn the Auto Off setting OFF.

The units piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if youve defeated the Ambience effect. Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for Cabinet Resonance.

p. 47

The sound of the higher notes suddenly changes from a certain key

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. The unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the unit, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause/Action Page

High-pitched ringing is heard

If you hear this in headphones: Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This sound can be adjusted by modifying the following settings.

String Resonance (p. 47) Ambience (p. 18) If you dont hear this in headphones: It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down the volume.

If you dont hear this in headphones: Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances. Locate the speakers 1015 cm (46 inch) away from walls or other surfaces. Keep the volume down. Move away from the objects that are resonating. If you hear this in headphones: It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

&& IMPORTANT NOTES

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 or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). 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.

The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn off the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

With the factory settings, the unit will automatically be switched off 30 minutes after you stop playing or operating the unit. If the units power has been turned off automatically, you can use the [Power] switch to turn the unit back on again. If you dont want the unit to turn off automatically, change the Auto Off setting to Off as described on Making the Power Automatically Turn Off After a Time (Auto Off) (p. 39).

NOTE The settings you were editing will be lost when the unit is turned off. If you want to keep your settings, you must save your settings before turning the unit off.

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 this 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.

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

Do not put anything that contains water 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.

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.

Since wood will expand and contract depending on how it is used and the environment in which it is located, products made of wood may experience a gradual loosening of the screws over time. To ensure that your piano remains in safe, optimal condition, you should regularly check the tightness of the screws in the locations shown in the illustration. If you find that any screws are loose, use a screwdriver to tighten them.

Maintenance of polished-finish pianos (Only for DP90Se)

Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as that found on finely crafted wooden furniture, it needs careful, periodic care. A few important suggestions concerning the proper care of the unit follow. For dusting, using a soft, clean cloth and/or piano-use feather duster. Be sure to wipe gently. Even the tiniest grains of sand or grit can leave scratches on the surface if too much force is applied while wiping. Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since they might deteriorate the surface of the cabinet, and produce cracks. If the cabinets surface loses its luster, wipe it thoroughly with a soft cloth dampened with a little of the polishing liquid. Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since they might deteriorate the surface of the cabinet, and produce cracks. Do not use dusting cloths that contain chemicals.

About piano polishing liquid Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions

for the product. Use only polishing liquid that is intended for use on

polished-finish pianos. Using any other polishing liquid may cause scratches, deformation, or discoloration. To purchase polishing liquid, contact your nearby musical instrument dealer.

Use the polishing liquid only on the polished surfaces of the cabinet. Always wipe the surface with the grain using straight, even strokes. Do not repeatedly wipe the same places using too much pressure, since that might result in the loss of luster.

Be sure to keep the polishing liquid out of the reach of small children. If the polishing liquid is accidentally swallowed, first get them to vomit, then take them to a doctor.

Repairs and Data

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 backed up USB flash drives, or written down on paper (when possible). 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

Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the units memory on a USB flash drive.

Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the units memory, USB flash drives once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

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.

Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

When 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.

To avoid disturbing others nearby, 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.

The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or wall to an unexpected extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.

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.

Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

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.
