E-200/E-100
]
1. Important notes
In addition to the items listed under “” (p. 3), please read and observe the following:
• When the E-200/E-100 is used at excessive volumes, the protection
system of its power amplifier stage may come on and mute the
speakers. In that case, reduce the volume setting and wait a few
seconds.
Power supply
Maintenance
• Do not use this instrument on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or
variable lighting system).
• For everyday cleaning wipe the E-200/E-100 with a soft, dry cloth or
one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stub-
born dirt, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to
wipe the instrument thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Before connecting the E-200/E-100 to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or dam-
age to speakers or other devices.
Before using floppy disks (handling the floppy disk
drive) [E-200 only]
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibra-
tion. If the unit must be installed at an angle, be sure the installation
does not exceed the permissible range: upward, 2°; downward, 18°.
• Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Placement
Repairs and data
• Using the E-200/E-100 near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate
the problem, change the orientation of this instrument or move it
further away from the source of interference.
• Please be aware that all data contained in the instrument’s memory
may be lost when it is sent for repairs. 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. Roland assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
• Avoid using the E-200 immediately after it has been moved to a
location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its
former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause con-
densation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the
operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the E-200
has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new envi-
ronment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
• This instrument may interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use it in the vicinity of such receivers.
Additional precautions
• Please be aware that the memory contents can be irretrievably lost
as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the instru-
ment.
• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy disk drive. For
further details, refer to “Before using floppy disks (handling the
floppy disk drive) [E-200 only]”.
• 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 firmly. Do not
use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in the drive.
• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a strong mag-
netic field (e.g., loudspeakers).
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the instrument’s but-
tons, other controls, and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can lead
to malfunctions.
• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the drive while the
drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could result to both
the disk and the drive.
• Install the E-200/E-100 on a solid, level surface.
• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while the drive is
operating.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• Remove any disk from the drive before switching the instrument on
or off.
• 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.
• Do not expose the E-200/E-100 to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or oth-
erwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can
deform or discolor the instrument.
• 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. Push it in firmly, but gently. Never use
excessive force.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the instrument during nor-
mal operation. This is perfectly normal.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such
as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the instrument’s vol-
ume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you
do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially late
at night).
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only floppy
disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of disk. Avoid
getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects inside the
drive.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the E-200/E-100. This can
be the cause of malfunction.
• When you need to transport the instrument, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials, or a flightcase.
• Use only a recommended footswitch (DP-2, DP-6, sold separately).
By connecting any other footswitch, you risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to the E-200/E-100.

E-200/E-100
Liability and copyright
Handling floppy disks [E-200 only]
• Should data contained and stored on a floppy disk be lost, it is
unfortunately impossible to restore them. Roland Europe S.p.a.
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• 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:
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public perfor-
mance, broadcasting, or the like in whole or in part, of a work (musi-
cal composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like)
whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.
• 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°~50°C (50°~122°F).
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright
held by a third party. Roland assumes no responsibility whatsoever
with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising
through your use of this unit.
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as
those generated by loudspeakers.
• Floppy disks have a “WRITE” 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
WRITE
(you can save data to the disk)
Protect tab
PROTECT
(you cannot save data)
• Disks containing important performance data for this instrument
should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the
PROTECT position) before you insert them into the drive of
another instrument.
• 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.

These sockets allow you to connect the E-200/E-100 to your
HiFi amplifier, a mixer, a cassette deck, a keyboard amplifier,
etc. If the external amplifier is mono, be sure to connect it to
the OUTPUT L/MONO socket.
This is where you need to connect the supplied adapter
(PSB-4U for the E-200, ACO for the E-100). After connecting
the adapter cable, wind it around the cord hook to the
socket’s right to prevent accidental power failures.
Note: Be sure to only use the adapter supplied with your E-200/
E-100. Other adapters may damage your Intelligent Keyboard.
Connect the MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN jack of your
computer (or MIDI instrument) to transfer MIDI data from
the E-200/E-100 to the computer or external MIDI instru-
ment. Connect the MIDI IN socket of the E-200/E-100 to the

beats (BEAT function).
ARRANGER
Note: If the
icon is displayed (and if you
switched off the Sync Start function), playing in the left half of
the keyboard while the Arranger is stopped, will sound a stereo
string sound (to which you can add a monophonic bass sound,
see “Auto Bass*: status and volume” (p. 39)). The left half of the
keyboard is thus not muted (like on previous Roland arranger
instruments). This “EP Chord” function can be switched off,
however (page 39).
These buttons select Music Style “patterns”. The icon corre-
sponding to the button you press appears in the display.
Also, the ARRANGER chord field in the display indicates the
name of the chord you played last. This chord is used by the
accompaniment.
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 E-200 provides three memory areas for Music Styles (the
E-100 has two):
USER STL: (Memory 000) This is where a Music Style loaded
from the Flash memory or floppy disk (MSA, MSD and MSE
series, optional [E-200 only]) is temporarily stored. The data in this
RAM memory are erased when you switch off the E-200/E-100.

COUNTRY(042~046), SWING(047~053), LATIN
(054~063), GOSPEL(064~068),TRADIT (069~078): These
are the Style families in the E-200/E-100’s internal ROM mem-
ory. These Styles cannot be erased (but you can modify them in
realtime using the Stylist and Band Orchestrator functions, see
pages 20 and 20).
FLASH: (Memories 101~199) This is a Flash area inside the
E-200/E-100 that already contains 16 Styles when the E-200/
E-100 is shipped. You can expand the number of Styles in this
area by copying more Styles from your computer (via USB) or by
saving the Styles loaded from disk [E-200 only]. There are 99 Flash
memory slots in all, but the actual number of Styles you can
save there depends on the data size of the Styles.
To return to the Music Style’s default tempo, simultaneously
press [–] and [+].
You can also press the [TAP¥TEMPO] button several times at
the desired tempo.

[E-200 only] DISK: (Memories 201~…) This area refers to a floppy

Styles depends on the floppy disk, of course. The Style you select
is transferred to the E-200’s USER STLmemory (see above),
which is why it takes a little longer before you can use it. (You
could, however, save it to a Flash memory, see p. 45.)
SYNC START
Press [SYNC¥START] (if the

mode.
The first press of SELECT [®] (or [√]) shows the name of the
first song within the selected group. It is already selected, so
if you need the first song, there is actually no need to press
SELECT [®]. You must use SELECT [√] or [®], however, to select
another song within the same group. After selecting memory
101 (the first Flash memory), the display looks as follows.

FLASH: (Memories 101~199) This is the Flash area inside
the E-200/E-100 that already contains several songs when
the E-200/E-100 is shipped. You can expand the number of
songs in this area by copying more songs from your com-
puter (via USB). There are 99 Flash memory slots in all, but
the actual number of songs you can save there depends on
the data size of the songs.

Additional playback functions
You can already select a new song while the current one is
still playing back. If you want to listen to it before the cur-
rent song is finished, stop playback by pressing
[START÷STOP], then press that button again. Otherwise, wait
until the current song is finished, then press the
[START÷STOP] button to start playback of the new song.
Note: Please bear in mind that starting playback of the selected
song on disk will erase the song in the USERSONGmemory.
Be sure to save it to disk before proceeding (see p. 49).
You can press FAMILY [√] or [®] either repeatedly (brief
presses) to go back or advance, or hold down [√] or [®] to
quickly select another family. The fastest way to scroll
through the available families is by holding down [√] while
pressing [®] (go backwards), or by holding down [®] while
pressing [√] (advance). The same methods are available for
the SELECT [√][®] buttons. As a reminder: the FAMILY buttons
are used for selecting groups, while the SELECT buttons allow
you to select items within a group.
The [INTRO], [ORIGINAL], etc. buttons have two functions: one in
Style mode (printed above the buttons), and another one in
Song mode (printed below the buttons).
Selecting the Song mode
The ARRANGER & SONG CONTROLS buttons have two functions:
they can be used for selecting Music Style patterns (when the
ARRANGER
icon is displayed), or for Song navigation (when
the [SONG] button lights).
To select the Song mode (and the SONG CONTROL func-
tions), you need to press the [SONG] button. Only then will
the following functions be available.
(6)You can change the song tempo [NwOi/t–h]/[YEtSh/e+]
buttons or [TAP¥TEMPO].
If you prefer to use the numeric buttons, enter three fig-
ures (e.g. “001” for entry “1”). If you only enter two figures
(or only one), the E-200/E-100 takes slightly longer to pro-
cess your entry.
Note: If the number you enter lies beyond the last available
entry, the E-200/E-100 does not change.
Doing so, however, means that the tempo will still change if
sages. Furthermore, every time you jump back to the begin-
ning or another position of the song using [|√], [º] or [‰], the

Note: Enter “000” (or “0”) to select the USERSONGmemory.
(7)Feel free to experiment with the STYLIST function (see
p. 20).
After selecting memory 101 (Flash) or 201 (first disk memory
[E-200 only]), the display shows a flashing Yes message. You
can ignore this if you like, and proceed with the next step (or
you can press [YES/+] and then proceed).
Note: If you forgot to insert a floppy disk into the drive, the dis-
play shows “No Disk” when you attempt to select a file on
disk.
Note: In Song mode, the E-200/E-100 automatically selects the
PIANO SOLO keyboard mode. If you like, you can play along with
the song (and even use the Split or Dual part).
Fast Forward, Rewind, and Reset
Note: In certain cases, the display may show the message XG
Lightor GM2rather than a Tone name. Such a message
means that the E-200/E-100 is using a Tone that cannot be
selected via the front panel. There are 798 such “hidden” Tones
whose sole purpose is to ensure XG/GM2 playback compatibility.
(5)After making sure that the correct song has been selected,
you can press [START÷STOP] (now called [®÷ª]) to load it
and immediately start playback.
START / STOP
• To fast forward (jump to a measure later in the song), press
[‰].
• To rewind (return to a measure that lies before the current
position), press [º].
The measure indication in the upper right corner of the dis-
play will help you locate the measure you need.
• Press [|√] (Reset) to jump back to the first measure of the
song. You need to stop playback before using the [|√] button.

Changing the track assignments
What are tracks?
If the song files you are using do not use the GM system (and
therefore do not correspond to the RIGHT, LEFT, BASS or
DRUM assignments of the Minus One function), you can
proceed as follows to assign other tracks (MIDI channels) to
the STYLIST [RIGHT], [LEFT], [BASS] and [DRUMS] buttons:
The term “track” is used only for your convenience. We bor-
rowed it from tape recorders that allow for recording sev-
eral musical parts by the same person (one part after the
other).
In the case of the E-200/E-100, 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.
Note: The Minus One setting can be saved along with the
selected song and its Stylist settings. See page 45.
(1)Press the [MINUS¥ONE] button to activate the function of
the same name.
(2)Press and hold [tRhIGeHT], [LEFT], [BASS] or [DRUM] button.
(3)While holding that button, us[NeO/–t]h/[eYES/+] buttons
to assign the desired MIDI channel to the button you are
holding.
Songs you record with the E-200/E-100, and the Standard
MIDI Files you play back can consist of up to 16 tracks (i.e.
MIDI channels). In many instances, only certain tracks are
used, but the following are almost certainly present in every
Standard MIDI File:
Example: To assign MIDI channel “10” to the [RIGHT] button,
press DATA ENTRY [+] until the display looks as follows:
Track 2: bass
Track 4: melody
Track 10: drums
RIGHT
The STYLIST buttons allow you to mute the following tracks:
[RIGHT]–Refers to track “4” of the selected Standard MIDI
File. Music data for educational purposes (especially piano
music) use this track for the right-hand part. Mute this track
to play the right hand yourself while listening to the left-
hand part of the Standard MIDI File. The E-200/E-100 con-
tains an excellent stereo piano Tone you could use.
[LEFT]–Refers to track “3” of the selected Standard MIDI File.
Music data for educational purposes (especially piano music)
use this track for the left-hand part. See also above.
[OTHERS]–Mutes all tracks that cannot be muted with the
remaining STYLIST buttons, more specifically: 1, 3, 6~9,
12~16.
(4)Press [MINUS¥ONE] again (or one of the “big” DATA ENTRY
buttons) to switch the function of the same name back
off again.
Note: The Minus One setting can be saved along with the
selected song and its Stylist settings. See page 45.
[BASS]–Mutes track “2”, which is assigned to the bass part of
a Standard MIDI File.
[DRUMS]–Mutes track “10”, which is assigned to the drum
part of a Standard MIDI File.
Note: You also switch off several buttons simultaneously.

6. Changing the Music Style or song orchestration
Your E-200/E-100 is a novel arranger instrument and Standard MIDI File player with two functions for “customizing” the Styles or songs you play back via easy-to-use routines.
Note: It is also possible to switch off ALL Stylist buttons to
return to the original song or Music Style orchestration.
Note: The STYLIST information is part of the song data only the
E-200/E-100 understands. You can still play back the newly
saved version of this song on another sequencer or SMF player
(after transferring it to your computer via USB, for example),
but the STYLIST information will be ignored.
The STYLIST buttons have the following meanings. You may
notice that their function is akin to the EQ presets found on
a ghetto blaster or similar device (except that they change
the sounds themselves rather than the tone color).
Stylist function
The Stylist function is derived from Roland’s revolutionary
DisCover 5 keyboard. The E-200/E-100 provides five different
templates you can select via the following buttons: [ACOUSTIC],
[POP], [ROCK], [DANCE], and [WORLD].
Button
Function
ACOUSTIC Adds an “unplugged” touch to the song or
Music Style.
The Stylist function is available both for Style (see p. 13) and
song playback (see p. 16). It provides “masks” that change the
instrumentation of the selected song. Simply by selecting
another preset, you can cause a reggae song (or Style) to be
played back by a heavy metal band, etc. Even though the
arrangement (rhythm, riffs) does not change, the overall char-
acter can be modified beyond recognition.
POP
Uses an orchestration that resembles the hits
you hear on the radio.
Using the Band Orchestrator
function
ROCK
Adds a rather “heavy” character to the song or
Music Style.
The Band Orchestrator function allows you to vary the accom-
paniment patterns played by the Arranger. You can leave out
parts, thin out the drum part, etc. – in real-time (i.e. while you
are playing).
DANCE
WORLD
Produces an “electronic” character.
(1)Press one of the STYLIST buttons.
Changes the song’s or Music Style’s mood to a
something akin to world-music.
(1)Press the [ARRANGER] button to select the Arranger
mode.
(2)Press the [START÷STOP] button to start song (if the [SONG]
button lights) or Arranger playback (if the [SONG] button
is dark).
(2)Select the Music Style you wish to use for playing (or use
the one that is currently selected).
See page 14.
(3)Press one of the following buttons to select the desired
level of musical “complexity” (the corresponding icon is
displayed):
START / STOP
That button now lights (there is no indication in the display).

(3)If you like the new version better than the original
you can save the song in the E-200/E-100’s Flash memory

Stylist changes to a Music Style need to be written to a User
Program.
Please note the following for the Stylist settings and Style
selection: Whenever you select another Music Style, it is
used without Stylist setting (STYLIST is reset).

mode, which means that everything you and the E-200/
E-100’s Arranger play will be recorded.
The [V-LINK] button now flashes to indicate the tempo and
beats (BEAT function).
Note: If you start recording without the Arranger and want to
bring it in at a later stage, it would be a good idea to switch on
the metronome by pressing the [METRONOME] button.
ARRANGER
The
icon appears. You can now use your left
hand for transposing the Arranger’s key in realtime.

To keep you from accidentally erasing the song in the E-200/

selects Singleafter your first recording. Bear in mind
that selecting “ALL” or “Keyboard” will erase the song in

for adding parts to an existing song – use “Single” or “Punch

For your convenience, the Keyboard parts are flagged with a

Parts you do not hear during recording are not recorded. The
track icons [1]~[16] thus do not show you what will be

The One Touch function automates quite a few tasks:
• Suitable Reverb and Chorus settings.
Another practical function for quickly making the right settings

Melody Intelligence
The Melody Intelligence function adds a second voice (harmony
notes) to the melodies you play with your right hand. In fact,
the Melody Intelligence function uses both halves of the key-
board to determine which notes to play:
SELECT
Bass Inversion (Bass Inv)
Use this function to change the way in which the Arranger
reads the chords you play.
• It looks at the melody notes in the right half; and…
• It analyzes the chords you play in the left half to see which
notes it must add to your melody.
When this function is off (default), the Acc Bass part plays the
root of the chords that feed the Arranger. If you play a “C” (or C
chord), the bass sounds a “C”; if you play an A minor chord (or if
you press “A” and the “C” to its right), the bass sounds an A, etc.
By activating Bass Inversion, you can specify the note played by
the A. Bass part (the lowest note of your chords). Switch on Bass
Inversion for songs that rely on bass rather than on chord pat-
terns (for example C – C/B – C/Bb, etc.).

The E-200/E-100 contains about 470 melodic sounds you can
use for playing melodies (others are more like sound effects).
Those sounds need to be assigned to a Keyboard part, of which
there are three: Main, Split and Dual (see also p. 11).

Selecting any of the available sounds
Unlike previous arranger-type instruments, the E-200/E-100 no
longer works with banks, numbers and variations: all available
sounds can be selected via the same streamlined procedure.

(1)Press the DATA ENT[TROYNE] button (it must light).
These buttons are assigned to our “favorite” sounds for the indi-
cated categories, thus allowing you to quickly select “a piano”,
“a string sound”, etc. The assignments to these buttons can be
changed.
Note: See page 54 for a list of the available sounds.
(4)Use SELECT [√][®] to specify a sound within the selected
family.
Note: The TONE [DRUMS] button is only available for the Main part.
The first press of SELECT [®] (or [√]) shows the name of the
first Tone within the selected group. It is already selected, so
if you need the first sound, there is actually no need to press
SELECT [®]. You must use SELECT [√] or [®], however, to select
another Tone within the same group.
TONE
Assigning another Tone to a TONE button
To assign another sound to one of the 8 TONE buttons, first
select it using the procedure described above, the press and
hold the desired TONE button. The display briefly shows the
message “Memrized”.
Note: You can only assign Tones of the following families to the
various buttons:
[PIANO]: Piano, E.Piano, Keyboard, Chr Perc
[ORGAN]: Organ, Accordion
[GUITAR/BASS]: A. Guitar, E. Guitar, Bass
[STRINGS]: Strings
[VOCAL]: Vocal

(3)Use FAMILY [√][®] to select the desired Tone family.
You can also use the numeric buttons to select sounds. To
do so, first “double-click” (press twice) the [TONE] button (it
starts to flash), then enter the number. You’ll find a list of
the selectable Tones and their numbers on p. 54. (Press
another button in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this
“numeric selection state”.)

E-200/E-100
Drum Kits are collections of over 90 sounds, each assigned to a
different key.
Note: Drum Kits can only be assigned to the Main part (so neither
to the Split, nor the Dual part).
(1)Press the [SPLIT] button.
(2)Decide whether you want to play the sound effect or
cussion sound with your left or right hand.
Drum sounds and sound effects
(“SFX”)
If you want to use your left hand, assign a sound effect to
the Split part. To play the effect with your right hand, assign
it to the Main part.
Note: One Kit (530) is actually a sound effects (SFX) kit that cannot
be used for “drumming” but rather for triggering various sound
effects.
Drum Kits
The last 20 “sounds” (511~530) are so-called “Drum Kits”. When
you select such a Kit, every key is assigned to a different sound.
With the left-most key, you can play a bass drum sound (also
called “kick”). The white key next to it triggers a snare drum
sound, etc. Try it out by pressing several keys, either in succes-
sion or simultaneously.

Sound effects (“SFX”)
The E-200/E-100 also contains individual sound effects (like
“Train, “Kitty”, “HrseGllp”, etc.) and individual drum and percus-
sion sounds that are assigned to the entire range of the part you
select them for (Main, Split or Dual).

meaningful effect, you may also have to
change the MAIN Octor SPLT Octsetting

If you assign a sound effect/percussion sound to the Split
part, the key ranges could be set as shown below.
Note that those sounds do not work like the Drum Kits: only one
cally (though “Train” melodies are probably “interesting” at best).
It might therefore be a good idea to proceed as follows:

To transpose the keyboard down, hold down [–] while press-
ing [0]~[9] (in that case, you can transpose the pitch down by
up to 9 semitones)
Here’s an example: if you want to hear an “E” every time you
play a “C”, select “4”. All other notes will be shifted by the
same amount, so that you end up sounding in E major when
you actually play in C major, etc.
Transpose
Octave settings
The Transpose function changes the pitch of the notes and
chords you play. Instead of figuring out what other keys you
need to press to accommodate the singer or an instrumentalist,
you can set the required Transpose value and go on playing the
song the way you practised it, while sounding in a different key.
See the example above.
The E-200/E-100 allows you to transpose the Keyboard parts
(Main, Split, Dual) up or down by 4 octaves.

E-200/E-100
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 dis-
tortion.
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. If you select this
type, you can use the MODULATION axis of the BENDER/
MODULATION lever for switching between the slow and fast
modulation speeds: press the lever towards the back of the
E-200/E-100 to alternate between slow and fast undula-
tions.
StFlangr: This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic res-
onance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking off or
landing.
Footswitch
The E-200/E-100’s FOOTSWITCH socket (rear panel) allows you
to connect optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch.
Using effects
The E-200/E-100 contains digital Reverb and Chorus effects
processors. You can switch them on/off and select other types.
You can also set the Send level (the amount of Reverb or Cho-
rus) 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 for the Main
part).
The footswitch can be used for sustaining the notes you are
playing (default), as Soft or Sostenuto pedal, to switch the
Rotary effect speed (MFX), and more. See “FSW° (Footswitch
Assign)” (p. 38) and “Using the outputs and an optional foot-
switch” (p. 51).

When you switch on the E-200/E-100, all three Keyboard parts
(Main, Dual, Split) 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 pro-
cessor (in which case none of the E-200/E-100’s 19 parts are
processed) or prevent just one Keyboard part from being pro-
cessed. You cannot change the amount of Reverb that is added
to the Arranger or pre-recorded Song parts.

E-200/E-100
The E-200/E-100’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. 41). Other parameters (“°”) are saved to the Flash memory when you leave the Function
mode.

you pressed the pedal).
I
PB Range° (Pitch Bend Range)
I
Count-In
(0~24, Default setting: 2) This parameter allows you to set the
interval that will be used when you push the BENDER/MODU-
LATION lever fully to the left or to the right (Pitch Bend effect).
You can set this parameter in semitone steps, with a maximum
of 24 semitones (2 octaves), the default value being “2”, which
should be OK in most situations.
(On/Off, Default setting: Off) This parameter allows you to
switch the count-in function for punch-in and normal record-
ing (see p. 24) on or off. When on, the metronome will count
down two measures (8 beats for a song with a 4/4 time signa-
ture).

Note: At power-on, the Count-In function is reset to “Off”.
Note: Pitch Bend is only available for the Main, Dual and Split
parts. See also p. 31.
OCTAVE parameters
Note: This function only applies to the Keyboard parts.
I
MAIN Oct*, DUAL Oct*, SPLIT Oct* (octave transposition)
Rotary S/F: 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. 32).
UsrPrgUp: Selects the next User Program (i.e. “10” if “9” is cur-
rently active).
UsrPrgDw: Selects the previous User Program (i.e. “1” if “10” is
Start/Stop: Starts and stops Arranger or Song playback. Same
function as the [START÷STOP] button.
Bass Inv: Switches the Bass Inversion function on and off (see
p. 27).
Punch I/O: The footswitch can be used to activate and switch
off punch in/out recording (see p. 25).
I
KeySplit* (Split point)
(–4~0~4, Default setting: 0) These three parameters allow you
to shift the octave of the part in question (Main, Split, or Dual)
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.
(48~84, Default setting: 60) Use this parameter to set the split
point for the Arranger mode and the Split part. The note you
set here is the lowest note you can play with the Main part. The
number refers to a note. “60” corresponds to the note “C4”.
Note: You can also select this parameter by pressing and holding
the [ARRANGER/BAND] button.
To achieve this, assign two different (or the same) piano sounds
to Main and Dual, activate the [DUAL] button, and set DUAL
Octv to “–1” (or “1”).
Note: When a Drum Kit is assigned to the Main 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 “MAIN Oct” 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.
I
SpltHold* (Hold function for the Split part)
(On/Off, Default setting: Off) The SpltHold function memorizes
the chords you play while the Split part is on and holds the
corresponding notes until you play another chord.
I
Splt Int* (Split Chord Intelligence)
(On/Off, Default setting: Off) When you activate the [SPLIT] but-
ton, the E-200/E-100’s Split Chord Intelligence function allows
you to play major chords by pressing just one key, minor chords
by pressing two keys, and more complex chords by pressing
three keys. This system thus follows Arranger control, which is
why it would be a good idea to select “On” whenever you are
ARRANGER
VOLUME parameters
I
METRONOM parameters
Main Vol*, Dual Vol*, SpltVol*: volume
I
Metro TS° (metronome time signature)
(1/4~6/4, 6/8, 9/8, Default setting: 4/4) This parameter allows
you to set the metronome’s time signature (number of beats
per bar). Please bear in mind that this setting changes when-
ever you select a Music Style with a different time signature.
See also p. 12 for how to use the metronome. This parameter
can also be selected by holding down the [METRONOME] but-
ton.
Main Vol
using the Split part while the
icon is displayed.
(0~127, Default setting: 127 Main/110 Dual/100 Split) These
three parameters allow you to set the volume of the Main,
Dual, and Split parts respectively. Please note that the settings
you make here have no effect if you used BALANCE [ACCOMP]
to set the maximum volume for the Arranger/Song parts.
Note: The volume of the Dual part can also be set by holding
down [DUAL] while pressing [ACCOMP] or [KEYBOARD]. The same
is true of the Split part, except that you need to press and hold
[SPLIT].
I
FSW° (Footswitch Assign)
Sustain
I
Metro Vol° (metronome volume)
(Default setting: Sustain) After connecting an optional DP-2,
DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U to the FOOTSWITCH socket on the rear
panel, you can use this parameter for assigning a function to
the footswitch.
(0~127, Default setting: 100) Use this parameter whenever you
think the metronome is too loud/soft with respect to the
music. The default value is usually an appropriate setting.
Sustain: Also called “Hold” or “Damper”, this function allows
you to use the footswitch to hold the notes you play on the
keyboard in much the same way as on an acoustic piano.

E-200/E-100
I
Auto Bass*: status and volume
I
Bass Inv*
ARR SET parameters
(OFF, 0~127, Default setting: OFF) Whenever the Split part is
active, this parameter allows you to set the volume of the Auto
Bass part (in which case the Auto Bass part is switched on). This
part sounds monophonic bass notes based on the chords you
play. If the Bass Inversion function (see p. 27) is off, the Auto
Bass part sounds the root notes (fundamentals) of the chords
you play with your left hand (using the Split part).
The Auto Bass part can also be added to the EP Chord part (see
below), and then follows the same rules as that part. The Auto
Bass’ volume and status can be set independently for “Split use”
and “EP Chord use”.
(On/Off) Use this parameter to change the way in which the
Arranger reads the chords you play. See p. 27.
I
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
E-200/E-100: the Roland system (“Md1”, which makes more
sense from an educational point of view, see page 61), or the
“Md2” system, which can be used in the following way:
I
MI* (Melody Intelligence harmony type)
(Default setting: Traditnl) This parameter allows you to select
the desired harmony type for the Melody Intelligence function.
Note: This parameter can also be selected by pressing and holding
the [MELODY¥INTELL] button. See p. 27.
Major chords Press the key that corresponds to the chord’s
fundamental.
EFFECTS parameters
Minor chords Fundamental + any black key to the left of the
fundamental.
I

(Default setting: Hall 2) Use this parameter to select the kind of
Reverb that best suits your musical purposes, or to switch the
Reverb processor “Off”. See p. 33.
Seventh

Fundamental + any white key to the right of
the fundamental.
In either case, select off if you don’t need the Auto Bass part.
I
AccDrums*, AccBass*, Accomp*: volume
Minor sev-
(0~127, Default setting: 100 AccDrums/100 AccBass/
100 Accomp) These three parameters allow you to set the vol-
ume of three Music Style sections: the drums, the bass and the
Accomp parts (1~6).
Note: The “Accomp” parameter does not have the same function
as the BALANCE [ACCOMP] button. The button applies to all
Arranger parts (thus also to the “AccDrums” and “AccBass” param-
eters).
I
Chr* (Chorus Type)
enth chords white key to the right.
(Default setting: Chorus 3) This parameter allows you to specify
the type of Chorus effect, or to switch the Chorus processor
“Off”. See p. 34.
In either case, pressing just a few keys is therefore enough for
obtaining full chords. If you are used to playing full chords, you
can switch this function off.
I
MFX* (MFX type)
(Default setting: Rotary) This parameter allows you to select
the desired MFX type and to switch the MFX processor off. See
p. 32 for details about the MFX. Selecting “Off” means that the
MFX is off.
I
ArrHold* (Arranger Hold)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The Arranger Hold function mem-
orizes the chords you play with your left hand and keeps play-
If you switch off ArrHold, the melodic Arranger parts (A.Bass,
Accomp) stop playing as soon as you release the key(s) in the
accompaniment.
Note: MFX type selection can also be linked to Tone selection for
the Main part.
I
Tone MFX°
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This parameter allows you to link
the selection of an MFX type to the Tone you assign to the
Main part. That way, a Distortion/Overdrive effect will be
selected for a rock guitar sound, Rotary for an organ, etc.
For your convenience, this function is switched on every time
you power on the E-200/E-100.

to set the stereo position of the Split part (i.e. its placement
between the left and right speakers). “Rnd” means that the ste-
reo position changes randomly for each note you play. Values
starting with “L” correspond to the left speaker. “0” refers to
the center, and values starting with “R” correspond to the right

12. Working with User Programs
The E-200/E-100 is equipped with 10 User Program memories that allow you to store almost all settings (or registrations) you make on the front panel and via the Function menu (see p. 37).
Note: MIDI settings (see p. 43) are not saved to a User Program because the E-200/E-100 memorizes them automatically.
Notes about writing User Programs
Program
Selecting a User Program
Leaving the User Program environment
Press any other “big” DATA ENTRY button to leave the User
Program environment.
Though the User Program memory you specified above is
already selected, there will be times when you need to select
another memory. In that case, here is what you need to do:
still need to do some editing afterwards. Those intermediary
do not like your last modifications.
Meaning of the asterisk
(1)Briefly press [USER¥PROGRAM/WRITE] (it lights). Do not
hold this button down because doing so will start the
Write procedure (see above).
USERPROG
At some stage, you may come across an asterisk message
next to the User Program number.
(1)Press and hold [tUhSeER¥PROGRAM/WRITE] button.
The E-200/E-100 now displays “-Write?”.
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 sta-
tus of the Reverb or Chorus effect, a changed volume value,
etc.
Before selecting another User Program or switching off the
E-200/E-100, 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.
USER
PROGRAM
USER

The display now shows the number of the User Program you
selected last, or “1” if you have not yet selected a User Pro-
gram since switching on the E-200/E-100.

pressing a numeric button [0]~[9] to select the memory.
USERPROG
Mode selection
The mode (Arranger, p. 13, Piano, p. 11) is also memorized
when you write a User Program.
The asterisk “*” indicates that the E-200/E-100 is still using
the last manual changes you may have made before select-
ing the User Program function. The number to the left of the
USERPROGmessage therefore only means “this is the last
memory you selected”.
None of its settings are being used for the time being. By
pressing another “big” button in the DATA ENTRY section,
you can leave the User Program mode without changing
your manual settings. This may be important to remember if
you were about to write your settings and accidentally
pressed the wrong button (or didn’t press it long enough).
User Programs and the USER STLmemory
The last Music Style you selected before writing a User Pro-
gram is also memorized. This even applies to the USER
STLmemory that may contain a Style loaded from floppy
disk [E-200 only] or the Flash memory (see p. 16).
[E-200 only] The 10 User Programs can be saved to floppy disk
as a set (see p. 49).

13. MIDI functions
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.
External MIDI instrument/computer
The E-200/E-100 receives data
E-200/E-100
Each time you play on the E-200/E-100’s keyboard or start the Arranger (or Song), your instrument
transmits MIDI data to its MIDI OUT. 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 E-200/E-100’s parts, select sounds,
etc.
MIDI is a universal standard, which means that musical data can be sent to and received by instruments
of different types and manufacturers. Furthermore, MIDI allows you to connect your E-200/E-100 to a
computer or hardware sequencer.
The E-200/E-100 transmits data
Connect your E-200/E-100 as shown to the right.
Note: The setting of this parameter is not memorized when you
switch the E-200/E-100 off.
MIDI Function parameters
Channels
See “Editing parameters (general procedure)” (p. 37) for how to
select and set these Function parameters (they belong to the
“MIDI” family).
MIDI can simultaneously transmit and receive messages on 16
channels, so that up to 16 instruments can be controlled. Nowa-
days, most instruments –like your E-200/E-100– are multitim-
bral, which means that they can play several musical parts with
different sounds.

should transmit and receive MIDI messages:
Option
ALL
Meaning
Note: All E-200/E-100 parts are set to receive MIDI messages. If
they do not seem to respond to the messages you send from the
external controller, you should check whether the external control-
ler’s MIDI OUT is connected to the MIDI INput of your E-200/E-100.
I
Local
All parts.
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The Local parameter allows you to
establish or remove the connection between the E-200/E-100’s
keyboard/Recorder and the internal tone generator.
KBD
STL
Only the Keyboard parts (see k in the table above).
Only the Arranger parts (AccDrums~Accomp 6).
Only the Song parts (1~16).
The E-200/E-100’s transmit and receive channels of all parts
have been set in keeping with a tacit Roland standard and are
therefore shared by all recent EM, E, G, and RA series instru-
ments. You cannot change them. They also correspond to the
track assignments of the 16-track Recorder:
When set to “ON” (default), playing on the E-200/E-100’s key-
board or playing back a Recorder song will cause the corre-
sponding notes to sound. If you select “OFF”, the corresponding
MIDI messages are no longer sent to the internal tone genera-
tor – but they are still transmitted to the MIDI OUT port and
hence to external MIDI instruments.
SNG
OFF
None of the E-200/E-100’s parts transmits/receives
MIDI messages.

E-200/E-100
Please note that synchronization is only possible when you
connect the external device’s MIDI OUT socket to the E-200/
E-100’s MIDI IN socket (though you can also work the other
way around; in that case, see the sequencer’s manual for
details).
NTA notes can only be received (they are not transmitted). The
notes you play on the E-200/E-100’s keyboard are indeed
transmitted to the Arranger, from there to the Arranger parts,
and used to play the accompaniment in the right key. Since all
Music Style notes are transmitted via MIDI, there is no need to
send the NTA notes separately.
I
StartStp° (Start/Stop/Continue)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This option allows you to specify
whether or not the Arranger and Recorder send Start/Stop/
Continue messages when you start or stop them. Select “Off”
when you wish to control the tone generator of a MIDI organ,
etc., without starting or stopping its automatic accompani-
ment.
Off
In this case, the E-200/E-100 is not synchronized with
other MIDI devices. It is thus impossible to start/stop it
via MIDI.
I
PitchBnd° (Pitch Bend)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This filter allows you to enable
(On) or disable (Off) the transmission and reception of Pitch
Bend messages. These messages are used to temporarily
increase or decrease the pitch of the Keyboard-part notes
(Main, Dual, Split).
I
Song PosP° (Song Position Pointer)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The E-200/E-100’s Recorder also
sends and receives Song Position Pointer messages that indi-
cate the exact location of the notes that are being played back.
Select “OFF” if you don’t want the Recorder to send or receive
these messages.
On
Arranger playback and Song recording/playback are
synchronized if the E-200/E-100 receives MIDI Start
and Stop messages followed by MIDI Clock signals. If
the E-200/E-100 receives only a Start message, it will
wait a moment to see if there are also MIDI Clock mes-
sages coming.
I
Modulatn° (Modulation)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This filter allows you to enable
(On) or disable (Off) the transmission and reception of Modula-
tion messages. These messages are used to add vibrato to the
notes you play (control change CC01).
If there are, it will synchronize to them. If there are no
MIDI Clock messages, it will follow its own tempo. In
either case, you can stop playback or recording with a
MIDI Stop message.
I
ProgChng° (Program Change)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This filter allows you to enable
(On) or disable (Off) the transmission and reception of Program
Change messages. These messages are used to select Tones,
Styles, or User Programs.
I
Style PC° (Style Select TxRx Channel)
(OFF, 1~16, Default setting: 10) As its name implies, the Style
Select channel is used to receive and transmit program
changes that cause the E-200/E-100 or the external instrument
to select another Music Style.
I
Velo Rx° (Receive Velocity)
(On, 1~127, Default setting: On) This filter allows you to enable
(On) or disable the reception of velocity messages. This only
applies to note messages received via MIDI. Choose the velocity
value to be substituted for the actual values the E-200/E-100
receives (1~127), or select “On” to use the velocity values as is.
I
Lyrics Tx° (Transmit Lyrics messages)
(On/Off, Default setting: Off) The E-200/E-100 can transmit
Lyrics messages contained in Format 0 Standard MIDI Files you
play back. It cannot display them, but it allows you to transmit
them to a device capable of displaying Lyrics messages (such as
the Roland LVC-1). This filter allows you to enable (On) or dis-
able (Off) the transmission of Lyrics data.
I
Clock Tx° (synchronization)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) This parameter allows you to
determine whether (On) or not (Off) the Arranger and Recorder
send MIDI Clock messages when you start them. These mes-
sages are necessary for synchronizing external MIDI instru-
ments/sequencers/software to the E-200/E-100.
I
NTA Rx14° (Note-to-Arranger reception on/off)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) NTA is short for “Note-to-
Arranger”, or the notes you play in the left half of the keyboard
to feed the Arranger with chord information. These notes can
also be received via MIDI (from an accordion, a digital piano, an
organ, for example). If you want to use the Arranger without
playing on the E-200/E-100’s keyboard, you must transmit
these notes on MIDI channel 14 (from your computer or exter-
nal MIDI instrument to the E-200/E-100) and select “On” here.

“.STH” extension.
Note: This operation adds a few bytes to every converted Music
Style. In rare circumstances (when the Flash area is nearly full),
this may lead to the impossibility to convert all Styles that still
have the extension “.STL”. The E-200/E-100 then displays the

Deleting files on disk
Format
The Delete functions allow you to erase files from the inserted
floppy disk. This may be necessary to make room for new files
(e.g. when the “Disk Full” message appears). Be careful, though,
to only delete files you are absolutely (positively) sure you will
never need again. Once a file has been deleted, it is gone for-
ever.
Before being able to save files to a disk, you need to prepare a
floppy disk. This is called “formatting”. If the floppy you are
about to use is IBM PC formatted, there is no need to format it,
though disk access is faster with disks formatted on the E-200.
Otherwise proceed as follows:
No Disk

Note: As a rule, you should first make a backup copy of your disk
on your computer. After all, files really only become indispensable
once they are no longer available…
Every floppy contains a square tab that allows you to “close”
a little window. With the tab in that position, you can format
the disk. Do not forget to write-enable the disk by closing
this little window prior to inserting the floppy disk.

Insert another disk.
(1)Insert the disk with the file you want to delete into the
drive.
(4)Press [YES÷+] to format the disk.
Note: If you do not want to format your floppy, press [NO÷–].
Note: By formatting a disk, you erase all files it contains. It
would be a good idea to first check what it contains (e.g. on
your PC).
(2)Press [DISK] to select the Disk mode.
(3)Use SELECT [√][®] to select “DEL Upr” or “DEL Sng”.

15. Using the outputs and an optional footswitch
If you like, you can also record your performance (or a Recorder songs) to cassette, MD, etc. To this end, you need to connect the E-200/E-100’s OUTPUT sockets to the external device’s REC IN
jacks.
Cassette deck, power amplifier, HiFi amplifier, MA series
active speakers, etc.
DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch
Note: By connecting the OUTPUT jacks, you do not switch off the
E-200/E-100’s amplification system.
Use a standard 1/4” phone cable for doing so. Another use for
these outputs is to connect the E-200/E-100 to your HiFi or key-
board amplifier (such as the Roland KC-550/350/150). Using a
HiFi amplifier requires the use of an adapter plug (phono/RCA→
1/4” jack). If you like, you can also purchase two Roland PJ-1M
cables.
You can connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U foot
switch to the FOOTSWITCH jack in order to hold the notes even
after releasing the keys, or to perform other functions (see
p. 38).

16. Miscellaneous
Deactivating or activating the Arranger and Demo
functions
Functions for educational purposes
Initializing your E-200/E-100
(Factory)
A third “educational” option is to switch off both the Demo and
the Arranger functions in one go:
The E-200/E-100 provides two functions that may come in
handy for music teachers or for those who use the E-200/E-100
in class:
After working extensively with your E-200/E-100, you may
want to recall the original factory settings. Note that the
Recorder song will be empty and that the User Programs
contain factory settings after initializing your E-200/E-100.
Here is how to initialize your E-200/E-100:
(1)Switch off the E-200/E-100.
(2)Hold down th[eACOUSTIC] and [START÷STOP] buttons
while you switch the E-200/E-100 back on again.
The display briefly shows “DISABLED”. It is now impossi-
ble to start/stop the Arranger or demo song playback.
Repeat the above procedure when you want to use the
Arranger and Demo function again.
Deactivating or activating the Demo function
The E-200/E-100’s Demo function can be switched off so that
pressing [USB]+[KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] will have no effect at all.
This may be useful in situations where the E-200/E-100 is used
in class. Here is how to deactivate the Demo function:
(1)Power off your E-200/E-100.
(2)Hold down th[eUSER¥PROGRAM/WRITE] button while
turning your E-200/E-100 back on again.
(1)Switch off the E-200/E-100.
The message “Factory” informs you that the E-200/
E-100 has been initialized.
Note: This does not affect the data in the E-200/E-100’s Flash
memory. See page 40 for how to initialize that area.
(2)Hold down th[eUSB], [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] and [ACOUSTIC]
buttons while switching the E-200/E-100 back on again.
The display briefly shows “DISABLED”.
This setting is remembered, so that next time you want to
listen to a demo song, you have to repeat the above proce-
dure.
Deactivating or activating the Arranger
Use the following procedure to ensure that the Arranger cannot
be started or stopped:
(1)Switch off the E-200/E-100.
(2)Hold down th[AeCOUSTIC] and [ARRANGER] buttons while
you switch the E-200/E-100 back on again.
The display briefly shows “DISABLED”. It is now impossi-
ble to start/stop the Arranger using the [START÷STOP] but-
ton.
Repeat the above procedure when you want to use the
Arranger again.
