authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the  
“Information” page when:  
At regular intervals, you should unplug the power  
plug and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust  
and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also,  
disconnect the power plug from the power outlet  
whenever the unit is to remain unused for an  
extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust  
between the power plug and the power outlet can  
result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

If you need to move the instrument, take note of the  
precautions listed below. At least two persons are  
required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be  
handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make  
sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury  
and the instrument from damage.  
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an  
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.  
Be especially careful when using extension cords—  
the total power used by all devices you have  
connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never  
exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the  
extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the  
insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt  
through.  
Check to make sure the screws securing the unit to  
the stand have not become loose. Fasten them  
again securely whenever you notice any loosening.  
Disconnect the power cord.

IMPORTANT NOTES  
Power Supply  
Maintenance  
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.  
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.  
The pedals of this unit are made of brass.  
Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidization  
process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using commercially  
available metal polisher.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
HP302  
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of  
consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.  
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.  
Maintenance (Polished-finish pianos)  
Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as that found  
on finely crafted wooden furniture, it needs careful, periodic care.  
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.  
For regular dusting, use a soft, clean cloth and/or a piano-use  
feather duster. Be sure to wipe gently. Even tiny granules of grit  
can damage the surface of the unit if you use too much pressure  
when wiping.  
If the cabinet gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth that has been  
soaked with water, then squeezed dry. Afterwards, wipe it again  
with a soft dry cloth. 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.  
If the cabinet’s surface loses its luster, wipe it thoroughly with a  
soft cloth dampened with a little of the piano polishing liquid.  
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.  
About piano polishing liquid  
Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions for the  
product.  
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit  
for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise  
harmfully affect the finish.  
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.  
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES  
Repairs and Data  
Handling Floppy Disks  
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be  
lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always  
be backed up on a USB memory, 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.  
Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of magnetic  
storage medium. 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 degrees C (50 to 122 degrees F).  
Additional Precautions  
Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as  
those generated by loudspeakers.  
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 unit’s memory on a USB memory.  
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.  
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data  
that was stored on an Internal Memory, a USB Memory or an external  
memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no  
liability concerning such loss of data.  
Rear side of the disk  
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons,  
sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors.  
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.  
Write  
(can write new data onto disk)  
When connecting / disconnecting all 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.  
Write Protect Tab  
Protect  
(prevents writing to disk)  
The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk. Should  
the label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult  
to remove the disk.  
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s 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).  
Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and to protect  
them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By using a dirty or dust-  
ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as causing the disk  
drive to malfunction.  
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.  
Handling Using USB memory  
(Using Optional USB memory)  
Do not apply undue force to the music stand 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.  
Do not connect or disconnect USB memory while it is being read  
from, or written to (i.e., while the USB memory access indicator will  
blink).  
Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is firmly in  
place.  
Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure that no  
pets or other small animals are located on top of the instrument (in  
particular, they should be kept away from the keyboard and its lid).  
Otherwise, due to the structural design of this instrument, small pets  
or other animals could end up getting trapped inside it. If such a  
situation is encountered, you must immediately switch off the power  
and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. You should then  
consult with the retailer from whom the instrument was purchased,  
or contact the nearest Roland Service Center.  
Never touch the External Memory connector. Also, avoid getting the  
terminals dirty.  
USB memories are constructed using precision components; handle  
the USB memories carefully, paying particular note to the following.  
To prevent damage to the USB memories from static electricity, be  
sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before  
handling the USB memories.  
Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact  
portion of the USB memories.  
Do not bend, drop, or subject USB memories to strong shock or  
vibration.  
Do not keep USB memories in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,  
or other such locations.  
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal  
operation.  
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive  
(Using Optional Floppy Disk Drive)  
Do not allow USB memories to become wet.  
Do not disassemble or modify the USB memories.  
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.  
Handling CD-ROMs  
(Using Optional CD-ROMs)  
Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface)  
of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read  
properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD  
cleaner.

*
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, connect the  
ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When  
the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on  
the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the  
connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service  
Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the  
“Information” page.  
Unsuitable places for connection  
Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)  
Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)  
Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be  
dangerous in the event of lightning)

If you need to move the piano, make sure the lid is  
closed first to prevent accidents.  
When attaching the music rest, support it firmly with one  
hand to make sure that you don’t drop it. Be careful, so you  
don’t get your fingers pinched.

Before You Play  
Using the Pedals  
The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use  
them mainly when playing piano.  
About the Adjuster  
If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve  
moved the HP305/HP302 to a different location), you can  
adjust the adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as  
follows.  
Soft Pedal  
Sostenuto Pedal  
Damper Pedal  
Damper Pedal (right 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.  
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how  
deeply you press the pedal.  
Adjuster  
Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm  
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there is  
a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular, when  
you’ve placed the HP305/HP302 on carpet, you must turn  
the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.  
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will  
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually  
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,  
producing a rich resonance. The HP305/HP302 simulates this  
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).  
You can modify the sound of the sympathetic  
vibration (p. 59).  
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)  
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will  
be sustained.  
Soft Pedal (left pedal)  
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.  
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.  
You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal  
and the soft pedal (p. 59).  
If you disconnect the pedal cord from the HP305/HP302  
while the power is turned on, the pedal effect will  
remain applied. You must connect or disconnect the  
pedal cord while the HP305/HP302’s power is switched  
off.

Before You Play  
Using the Headphones  
You can use headphones to enjoy the HP305/HP302 without disturbing those around you, such as at night.  
Connecting the Headphones  
The HP305/HP302 has two headphone jacks, two people can also use headphones simultaneously.

2. Turn the headphone hook wing nut to secure the headphone hook.  
Do not hang anything other than headphones on the headphone hook. Doing so may damage the instrument or the hook.  
Cautions when Using Headphones  
To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors, avoid rough handling. When using headphones, mainly try to handle  
either the plug or the headset.  
Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a device is already turned up when you plug them in. Minimize the  
volume before you plug in the headphones.  
Excessive input will not only damage your hearing, but may also strain the headphones. Please enjoy music at an appropriate  
volume.  
Use headphones that have a stereo 1/4” phone plug.

Extra Light  
Light  
This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.  
You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than “medium,” so the keyboard  
feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for children.  
Medium  
Heavy  
This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the  
closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.  
You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than “medium” in order to play fortissimo (ff),  
so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you  
play.  
Extra Heavy  
This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

Transposing the Keyboard (Transpose)  
“Transpose” means to shift the pitches produced by the keyboard.  
The Transpose function makes it easy to do the following.  
The pitch of your accompaniment can be adjusted to a singer’s vocal range without changing your  
fingering (i.e., without changing the keys you play).  
A song written in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ) can be performed in a key that’s  
easier for you to play.  
1. Hold down the [Transpose] button and play the key that’s the tonic of the key into  
which you want to transpose.  
The current transposition setting is shown while you hold down the [Transpose] button.  
You can also change the transposition setting by using the [-] or [+] buttons while holding down the  
[Transpose] button.  
Transposition range  
-6–0–5 (semitone units)  
If a setting other than 0 is selected, the [Transpose] button will be lit.  
To return to the original value (0), hold down the [Transpose] button and press both of the [-] or [+]  
buttons simultaneously.  
You can use the [Transpose] button to turn the Transpose function on/off (if the transposition  
setting is other than “0”).  
The HP305/HP302 allows you to transpose both the keyboard and the song, or just the keyboard, or  
just the song (p. 57). With the factory settings, the keyboard and the song will be transposed  
together.  
*
If the Transpose Mode (p. 57) is set to “SnG” (the song playback), the Transpose function will not affect the pitches of the  
keyboard.  
Example: Use C major fingering to play a song written in E major  
1. Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E note (the tonic note for the key of E major).  
Counting from C as a reference point, the tonic note for the key of E major is four chromatic steps higher, so the display  
indicates “4.”

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)  
You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their  
original tuning.  
You can adjust the volume balance between the two tones (tone 1  
and tone 2) used for Dual play.  
Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption  
that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today)  
will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a  
wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a  
composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of  
the chords that the composer originally intended.

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

Equal  
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.  
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments  
(Master Tuning)  
Just (Major)  
The Just tunings differ from major and minor  
keys. You can get the same effect with the minor  
scale as with the major scale.  
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such  
instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

4
Just (Minor)  
Arabic  
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s  
played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble  
sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure  
that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the  
other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard  
pitch is called “Tuning.”  
This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.  
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).

Master tuning value  
This tuning, devised by the philosopher  
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths  
and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-  
interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.  
15.3–40.0–66.2  
415.3 Hz – 440.0 Hz – 466.2 Hz  
This temperament combines the Meantone and  
Pythagorean tunings. Performances are  
possible in all keys (first technique, III).  
When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to  
“440.0 Hz.”

Using a Piano’s Unique Tuning  
(Stretch Tuning)  
Specifying the 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, there’s  
no need to select a temperament key.  
Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the  
tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched tuning.”  
Setting  
Description  
This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends  
somewhat. It is suitable for performances such as  
piano solos.

When you press the Damper pedal during Dual play or Split play, the  
pedal effect is normally applied to both tones, but you can also  
select the part to which the effect is to be applied.  
You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance. On an  
acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you  
play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and  
fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the HP302/HP305  
recreates this resonance (Damper Resonance) when depressed.

Never turn off the power while “ t” is shown in the display.  
Here’s how you can completely erase all songs that were saved in  
internal memory, USB memory (sold separately), or a floppy disk  
(sold separately).  
If the screen indicates “E,” please refer to “Error Messages” (p.  
77).  
Initializing the HP305/HP302’s internal memory will not  
initialize settings other than the contents of internal memory. If  
you want to return settings other than the contents of internal  
memory to their factory-set condition, execute the Factory  
Reset operation (p. 61).  
Once an initialization is performed, all songs that have been  
saved in memory will be erased. The erased data cannot be  
recovered, so we recommend that you check the contents of  
memory before you proceed.  
Don’t disconnect the USB memory until USB memory  
initialization has been completed.  
If you’re using new USB memory (sold separately) or floppy  
disk with the HP305/HP302 for the first time, you’ll need to  
initialize (format) the USB memory or floppy disk before using  
it. The HP305/HP302 can’t use USB memory or floppy disk that  
has not been initialized.  
While a floppy disk is being initialized, do not eject the disk  
from the floppy disk drive or disconnect the cable of the disk  
drive.  
If you want to initialize USB memory or a floppy disk, make the  
following preparations before you proceed.

Connecting to MIDI Devices  
By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control one device from the other.  
For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch Tones on the other instrument.  
What’s MIDI?  
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data between  
electronic instruments and computers.  
The HP305/HP302 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to  
connect the HP305/HP302 to an external device for even greater versatility.

Not all the notes you play are sounded  
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you are playing along with a song and making heavy use  
of the damper pedal, the number of notes the HP305/HP302 is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum  
polyphony, meaning that some of the notes will drop out.  
Is the HP305/HP302 in Dual play?

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the  
keyboard is played  
When the HP305/HP302 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to off. Alternatively, the  
sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.  
Tone buttons [E. Piano] [Strings] [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”  
With the factory settings, connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to the external memory connector  
and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds  
appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] Tone buttons, so that you can  
select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.  
The wrong instrument is selected when you  
press the [E. Piano], [Strings], or [Others]  
button  
p. 73  
You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.  
When you are using Dual play or Split play, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the  
effect will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split play).  
Effect does not apply  
Reverberation remains even if You defeat the  
Reverb effect  
The HP305/HP302’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may  
give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect.  
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. HP305/  
HP302 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the HP305/HP302, the range that is unaffected  
by the damper pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.  
The sound of the higher notes suddenly  
changes from a certain key  
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 ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb effect is applied  
heavily, so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.  
High-pitched ringing is heard  
If you don’t 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.  
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.  
p. 21  
If you don’t hear this in headphones:  
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the HP305/HP302 to resonate. Fluorescent  
lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes

Music Files That the HP305/HP302 Can Use  
What Are Music Files?  
Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to the key played, and other  
such information. When the performance data (music file) is sent by the USB memory or CD-ROM, the song will be played exactly as specified by the  
data. This is different than an audio CD, since the music file does not contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to change tempos  
and keys freely, allowing you to use it in many different ways.  
Regarding Copyright  
Use of the song data supplied with the CD-ROM for any purpose other than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright  
holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the permission of the  
copyright holder.  
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially available SMF music files,  
such works may violate copyright law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment. Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright  
violation you may commit by creating such works.  
The HP305/HP302 Allows You To Use the Following Music Files

letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.  
where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced  
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that  
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,  
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be  
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available  
sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound  
generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry  
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.  
*
*
This instrument (HP305/HP302) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES  
images.  
You can specify whether the recommended tones will be assigned  
automatically (p. 65).  
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does  
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI  
1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.  
SMF Music Files  
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file that  
was formulated so that files containing music file could be widely  
compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the listening device.  
An enormous variety of music is available, whether it be for  
listening, for practicing musical instruments, for Karaoke, etc.  
GS Format  
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the  
performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including  
support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly  
compatible GS Format additionally offers an expanded number of  
sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many  
details for a wide range of extra features, including effects such as  
reverb and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format  
can readily include new sounds and support new hardware features  
when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General  
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM  
Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music files that  
have been created with the GS Format in mind).  
General MIDI  
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to  
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs,  
and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices.  
Sound generating devices and music files that meets the General  
MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the  
General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound  
generating unit to produce essentially the same musical  
performance.  
XGlite  
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines  
the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure  
and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI 1 specification.  
XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can  
play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator.  
However, keep in mind that some music files may play back  
differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of  
control parameters and effects.
