IMPORTANT NOTES  
About piano polishing liquid  
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.  
Power Supply  
Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions  
for the product.  
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.  
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.  
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this  
instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument  
may damage the exterior finish.  
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.  
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.  
To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,  
always make sure to turn off the power on all your  
equipment before you make any connections.  
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.  
Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when  
the unit is turned 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 unit’s 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.  
Repairs and Data  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of  
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration  
and/or deformation.  
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  
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.  
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.  
With the factory settings, the HP507 will  
automatically be switched off 30 minutes after you  
stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t want  
the unit to turn off automatically, change the “Auto  
Off”setting to “Offas described on “Making the  
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.  
Additional Precautions  
NOTE  
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.  
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 flash drive.  
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  
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore  
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s  
memory, USB flash drives once it has been lost.  
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning  
such loss of data.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.  
When 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.  
A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit  
during normal operation.  
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.  
To avoid disturbing others nearby, 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.  
Maintenance of polished-finish pianos  
(Only for HP507-PE)  
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.  
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 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.  
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 stand while  
it is in use.  
If the cabinet’s 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.  
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.

About the Ivory Feel Keyboard  
Features of an ivory feel keyboard  
Traditional piano keys are made from the best materials-ivory (for white keys) and ebony (for black keys). The Ivory Feel keyboard uses the latest  
in technology to reproduce the touch and feel of these materials.  
An Ivory Feel keyboard offers the following features.  
• We’re sure you’ll develop a fondness for the distinctive texture of these keys, which feels better the more you play them.  
• Surfaces incorporate stripes of moisture-absorbing material for improved touch and playability.  
• The keys feature subtle gloss and understated coloring, enhancing the look and elegance.  
• The white keys are finished with a slight yellowish tinge for the look of real ivory.  
Handling  
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep  
into the surface lines and become unremovable.  
• Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause  
discoloration.  
Care and maintenance  
Please note the following points. Failure to do so may result in scratches on the surface finish, damaged gloss, or other discoloration or  
deformation.  
• To remove dirt, use a soft cloth.  
Using a moistened and tightly wrung-out cloth, gently wipe off any dirt.  
Do not rub the surface vigorously.  
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives.  
Start by wiping lightly. If the dirt does not come off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch  
the keys.  
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or alcohol on the instrument.

[Power] Switch  
This turns the power on/off.  
page 17  
WARNING  
* With the factory settings, the HP507s power will automatically be switched off 30 minutes after you stop playing or operating the unit.  
If the unit’s power has been turned off automatically, you can use the [Power] switch to turn the unit back on again. If you don’t want the power to turn off automatically,  
change the “Auto Offsetting to “Offas described on “Making the Power Automatically Turn Off After a Time (Auto O)(p. 44).  
* When turning the power on again, you must allow at least five seconds after power-off before you once again turn the power on. If you fail to allow enough time, the Auto  
Off function might not be reset, preventing the power from turning on correctly.  
Headphone Hook  
Whenever you are not using the  
headphones, you can hang them on the  
headphone hook.  
* Don’t hang anything other than headphones on  
this hook, and don’t apply excessive force to it.  
Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

Pedals  
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.  
With the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, when you step on the pedal it will at first offer only a slight amount of resistance,  
but as you press down further it will start to feel much heavier. On the HP507, this change in the feeling of resistance is  
simulated.  
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll 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 HP507, 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.

Shifting the Pitch (Transpose)  
“Transposemeans to shift the pitches of songs and the keyboard.  
The Transpose function makes it easy to do the following.  
• You can use unchanged fingering to accompany a singer who is singing in a key different than the original music.  
• 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.  
• Notation of a transposing instrument such as trumpet or sax can be played as written, while hearing the transposed pitches.  
For example if the song is written in E major but you want to play it using the fingering of the key of C major, you would set Transpose to “4.”  
If you play C E G It will sound E G

Recording the Song You’re Practicing  
It’s easy to record your own performances.  
You can play back a recorded performance to check your playing, or perform along with a recorded performance.  
The HP507 lets you record in the following ways.  
Type of recording  
SMF recording  
Explanation  
Parts will be separate.  
You can re-record a specific portion of the song.  
You can overdub.  
* Normally, you should use SMF recording.  
Your performance will be recorded as audio data. The recorded song can be used on your computer.  
* In order to use audio recording, you must connect a USB flash drive (sold separately) to the USB memory port (p. 15).  
* Thanks to its multiple number of speakers, each of which can be used to play a different portion of the overall sound, the HP507 is capable of  
producing piano sounds that possess great depth and seem to have three-dimensional presence.  
Audio recording  
Such effects are produced when you play something on the keyboard, or when you play back a song that's been recorded as an SMF. However,  
when you make an audio recording, the song will consist of two channels (stereo), and such effects cannot be reproduced.  
* 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.

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another  
instrument.  
415 3–440 0–466 2 Hz  
(default: 440.0 Hz)  
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 “master tuning.”  
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).  
Equal, Just Major, Just  
Minor, Pythagorean,  
Kirnberger, Meantone,  
Werckmeister, Arabic  
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.  
Temperament  
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.  
(default: Equal)  
For details, refer to “Temperaments.”  
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).  
C–B  
Temperament  
Key  
(default: C)  
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.  
This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,a tuning method specifically for pianos, in which the high range is  
tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.  
Off, Preset, User  
(User: -50–0–+50)

If you select “Preset,a standard tuning curve created for the HP507 will be used.

Temperaments  
Temperament  
Equal  
Qualities  
In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance.  
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.  
Just Major  
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.  
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths.  
Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.  
Pythagorean  
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).  
Meantone  
Werckmeister  
Arabic  
This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.  
This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).  
This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.  
What is the duplex scale?  
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.  
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By resonating with  
the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do  
not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string  
that was actually struck.

Master Tuning  
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s 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 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 “master tuning.”

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.

For details, refer to Temperaments(p. 43).  
Equal, Just Major, Just Minor, Pythagorean, Kirnberger, Meantone, Werckmeister, Arabic  
Specifying a Song’s 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).

Troubleshooting  
Symptom  
Cause/Action  
Page  
HP507 uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For  
this reason, you’ll 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  
Even though you’re using head-  
phones and the sound is muted,  
a thumping sound is heard when not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the floor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration  
you play the keyboard  
by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with  
pianos.  
When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this unit, the power will turn off automatically. (This is the  
factory setting).

power is turned on/off  
Since the HP507 uses a liquid-crystal display, you may find that it is unable to display letters or other things in environments  
where temperatures go below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).  
Is the pedal connected correctly?  
Plug the cable firmly into the pedal connector.  
If you disconnect the pedal cord from the HP507 while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuckin the On condition.  
You must power-off the HP507 before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord.  
Could you have changed how the pedal effect is applied?  
If the damper pedal part is set to “Right,the pedal will apply only to the right tone; if it is set to “Left,the pedal will apply only to  
the left tone.  
Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”  
Could Twin Piano be turned on?  
If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will affect only the right-hand keyboard zone and the left pedal will affect only the left-hand  
keyboard zone.  
Could you have changed the function of the pedal?  
If you’ve reassigned the function of the center pedal, this pedal will not operate as the sostenuto pedal.  
Are you using (optional) Roland USB flash drive?  
Reliable performance cannot be guaranteed if you use non-Roland USB flash drive products.

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  
The HP507’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 Ambience effect.  
Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for “Cabinet Resonance.”  
Reverberation remains even if You  
defeat the Ambience 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. HP507 faithfully simulate this  
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the HP507, 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  
Is the speaker cable connected correctly?  
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.  
High-pitched ringing is heard  
String Resonance (p. 42)  
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.  
If you don’t hear this in headphones:  
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the HP507 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.  
Low notes sound wrong, or are  
buzzy  
Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.

Assembling  
To assure that assembly is carried out properly, make sure to read these instructions before you begin the assembly. Please keep these instructions  
close at hand, so you can refer to them whenever you need.  
To move the piano, lift it carefully—all the while keeping it level.  
Be careful not to pinch your hands or drop this unit on your foot during assembly or transport.  
Make sure to enlist the help of at least one other person when assembling this unit and moving it to a different location.  
Make sure to keep screws and any other small parts in a safe location that is out of the reach of small children, so such small parts won’t accidentally get swallowed.  
All screws should be tightened provisionally first, then tightened later. To tighten a screw provisionally, screw it in until about half of its length is no longer visible. Do not use  
an electric screwdriver when tightly securing the screws. Otherwise, you risk stripping the threads.  
* The screwdriver needed to perform the assembly is not supplied. You’ll need to have ready a Phillips screwdriver that matches the size of the screws.  
* After firmly tightening all the screws, place the unit at a location that is level and sure to remain stable. The unit must never be placed on top of deep-pile carpet. Otherwise, you risk  
causing damage to the pedals due to instability and unnecessary movement.  
* The surface of the piano unit and the stand are very delicate; handle with care to avoid scratching them.  
* Do not place the piano unit directly on the floor. Doing so will damage the bottom panel case and the connectors and holders on the bottom of the piano.

Take care that the pedal boards are not twisted

At first, assemble the entire stand in a temporary fashion, without really  
tightening the screws  Then, after checking the overall alignment of the  
boards (and gently shifting certain parts where necessary), go around and  
tightly fasten each of the screws

If necessary, spread out a blanket or similar material to prevent the stand or  
floor from being scratched during assembly  
Be careful not to pinch the pedal cord during assembly
