• The headphones may be damaged if the volume is too high when
they are plugged in. Connect the headphones only after turning
the volume down completely.
You can also adjust the headphone volume with the
[Volume] knob.
• Please use stereo headphones.
Connecting Headphones
■ Using the Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them on
The HPi-6S has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two
people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very
useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands.

malfunction. By using the [Contrast] knob to adjust the contrast of
the screen, you can minimize these lines.
Carefully insert the USB memory all the way in—until it is firmly in
place.
• The contrast of the screen may be affected by the temperature.

. While this symbol is displayed,
performance data is being loaded from USB memory or internal memory. Thirty seconds or longer may be
required to load the data. Please wait.
• The displayed notation is generated from the music files, and priority is given to making the display easy to
read rather than reproducing a complicated or difficult performance accurately. For this reason, you may
notice differences when compared with commercially available sheet music. In particular, this is not suitable
for display of sophisticated or complex songs that require detailed notations.
• In the notation screen, lyrics or notes may fall outside the display range of the screen, and fail to be shown.
• A notation cannot be displayed for a song from a music CD or audio file.
• If you display the notation or change the displayed part during song playback, the song may sometimes
play back from the beginning.

You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced according
to the force used to play the keys.
When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer to
move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers move
more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning that sounds
are produced just slightly later than when you play the keyboard with
greater force. If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time
between the moment you press a key until the sound is heard will
change depending on the strength with which you play. As you play
more softly, this time will become longer.

This temperament is a combination of
meantone and Pythagorean temperaments. It
allows you to play in all keys. (First method,
number three.)

■ Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches
When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be
aware that depending on the key, there may be some
shifting of the pitch. Tune the HPi-6S to the fundamental
pitch of the other instruments.
(Master Tuning)
NOTE
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments,
you can tune the HPi-6S’s standard pitch to the pitch of another
instrument. 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. The standard pitch
generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger
the middle A key.
■ Setting the Tonic (Key)
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to
specify the tonic note 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).
Setting
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a tonic
note.

■ Changing the Tuning (Temperament)
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal temperament in
mind and are played using equal temperament. However in past ages
of classical music, a variety of temperaments were used. 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.
Setting
Equal
Explanation
This temperament divides the octave into 12
equal parts. All intervals will be slightly out of
tune by the same amount.
This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd
intervals pure. It is unsuitable for playing
melodies and modulation is not possible, but it
produces beautifully harmonious chords.
Just (Maj)
Just intonation differs between major and minor
keys. The same results as major can be
obtained in a minor key.
Just (min)
Arabic
This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
This temperament is a modification of
meantone temperament and just intonation,
allowing more freedom of modulation. It allows
you to play in all keys (third method).
Kirnberger
This temperament is based on the theories of
the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, and has
pure fourths and fifths. Chords containing a
third will sound impure, but melodies will
sound good.
Pythagorean
Meantone
This temperament is a partial compromise of
just intonation in order to allow modulation.

Connecting to Audio Equipment
You can connect audio devices to play the sound of the HPi-6S
through the speakers of your audio system, or to record your
performance on a tape recorder or other recording device.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume
level of equipment connected to the input jacks may be low. If
this happens, use connection cables that do not contain
resistors.
Use phone plug audio cables (sold separately) to make connections.

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.
■ Producing Sounds from a MIDI Sound
Module by Playing the HPi-6S
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 HPi-6S is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange
performance data with external devices. These connectors can be
used to connect the HPi-6S to an external device for even greater
versatility.

Cause/Remedy
Case
Cause/Remedy
Have you set Transpose? (p. 69)
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments
near the HPi-6S to resonate. Resonation can also
occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and
other objects. In particular, this problem occurs
more easily when the bass component is
increased, and when the sound is played at higher
volumes. Use the following measures to suppress
such resonance.
•Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from walls
and other surfaces.
•Reduce the volume.
•Move the speakers away from any resonating
objects.

Music Files That the HPi-6S Can Use
What Are Music Files?
■ About the HPi-6S Sound Generator
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. Performance data is transmitted to the HPi-
6S from music files saved in USB memory and CD-ROM, and played
back without change as songs. This is different than a 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.
The HPi-6S come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
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.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the internal songs and audio files 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.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up
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.
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 HPi-6S Allows You To Use the Following
Music Files
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.
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that contains
image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs with lyrics and
images simultaneously. When data bearing the “VIMA TUNES” logo
is played back on a device that bears the same logo, lyrics can be
shown on the screen of a connected external display or television,
letting you enjoy karaoke or watch a slide show.
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). This product supports both
the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be used to play back
music data carrying either of these logos.
* This instrument (HPi-6S) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES
images.
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.
SMF with Lyrics
XG lite
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the
lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with Lyrics” logo are
played back on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the
lyrics will appear in its display.
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.
The HPi-6S come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
