What is MIDI Visual Control?  
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be  
linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments  
via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.  
What is V-LINK?  
V-LINK is Roland’s proprietary specification that allows visual expression to be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is  
compatible with V-LINK can be connected to electronic musical instruments via their MIDI ports, making it easy to enjoy a variety of visual  
effects that are linked with the performance.  
Connection Examples  
Connect a MIDI cable from this unit’s MIDI Out connector (p. 5) to the MIDI In connector of your Visual Control compatible device.

Troubleshooting  
Symptom  
Cause/Action  
Page  
This unit 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 not indicate  
a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the floor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration by moving the  
piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with pianos.  
Even though you’re using head-  
phones and the sound is muted,  
a thumping sound is heard when  
you play the keyboard  
When 240 minutes (4 hours) have elapsed since you last played or operated this unit, the power will turn off automatically. (This is  
the factory setting.)  
If you don’t need the power to turn off automatically, turn the “Auto Offsetting off.  
Power turns off on its own  
Power does not turn on  
Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?  
Is the pedal connected correctly?  
Plug the cord firmly into the pedal connector.  
If you disconnect the pedal cord from this unit while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuckin the On condition. You  
Pedal does not work, or is “stuck” must switch off the unit’s power before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord.  
Could Twin Piano be turned on?  
If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will apply only to the right-hand section of the keyboard, and the left pedal will apply only to  
the left-hand section of the keyboard.  
The volume level of the instru-  
ment connected to Input jack is  
too low  
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?  
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.  
Could the unit’s volume or the volume of the connected equipment be turned down?  
Could headphones be connected?  
Could there be a plug inserted in a headphone jack?  
No sound/  
No sound when you play back  
a song  
The speakers will not produce sound if headphones or plug are connected to the headphone jacks.  
Has Local Control been set to “Off”?  
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced by playing back a song. Set Local Control to On.  
Could the Visual Control mode be set to MIDI Visual Control or V-LINK?  
No sound from the leftmost notes  
of the keyboard  
If the Visual Control mode is set to MIDI Visual Control or V-LINK, the lowest 12 keys of the keyboard (A0–G#1) are used to control  
images; they will not produce sound.  
Are all devices powered on?  
No sound (when a MIDI device is  
connected)  
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?  
Do the MIDI channels of this unit and the connected device match?  
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you’re using the Dual tone (p. 18), if you’re playing along with a song, or if  
you’re making extensive use of the damper pedal, the performance data may exceed the available polyphony, possibly causing  
some of the notes you play to drop out.  
Not all the notes you play are  
sounded  
Could you have made Transpose settings?  
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?  
Pitch of the keyboard or song is  
incorrect  
The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method (stretched tuning), which makes upper-range notes slightly higher in  
pitch, and lower-range notes slightly lower in pitch. For this reason, you might perceive the pitch as being incorrect, but this is the  
way an acoustic piano should sound.  
Could you have selected a dual tone?  
Sounds are heard twice (doubled)  
when the keyboard is played  
When this unit 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.  
Reverberation remains even if you The unit’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of  
defeat the Reverb effect  
reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect.  
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding  
regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. This unit faithfully simulate this  
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On this unit, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the  
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 characteristics of an actual piano are 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 the nearest 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 unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may  
also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the  
following measures to minimize resonances.  
Sound wrong, or are buzzy  
Locate this unit 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.  
Keep the volume down.  
Move away from the objects that are resonating.  
If you hear this in headphones:  
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

objects, coins, wires) or liquids (e.g., water  
or juice) to enter this product. Doing so may  
cause short circuits, faulty operation, or  
other malfunctions.  
Do not open or perform any internal  
modifications on the unit.  
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs  
with wet hands when plugging into, or  
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.  
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 attempt to repair the unit, or replace  
parts within it (except when this manual  
provides specific instructions directing you  
to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,  
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an  
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on  
the “Informationpage.  
Immediately turn the power off, remove the  
AC adaptor from the outlet, and request  
servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland  
Service Center, or an authorized Roland  
distributor, as listed on the “Information”  
page when:  
The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or  
the plug has been damaged; or

(Do not drop it!)  
Be careful when opening/closing the lid so  
Adult supervision is recommended whenever  
small children use the unit.  
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied  
with the unit. Also, make sure the line  
voltage at the installation matches the  
input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s  
body. Other AC adaptors may use a different  
polarity, or be designed for a different  
voltage, so their use could result in damage,  
malfunction, or electric shock.  
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

listed below, always keep them out of the  
reach of small children.  
Included/Removable Parts  
Use only the attached power-supply cord.  
Also, the supplied power cord must not be  
used with any other device.  
If you remove the screw from the ground  
terminal, be sure to replace it; don’t leave  
it lying around where it could accidently  
be swallowed by small children. When  
refastening the screw, make that it is firmly  
fastened, so it won’t come loose.  
Before using the unit in a foreign country,  
consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland  
Service Center, or an authorized Roland  
distributor, as listed on the “Information”  
page.  
Do not excessively twist or bend the power  
cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing  
so can damage the cord, producing severed  
elements and short circuits. Damaged cords  
are fire and shock hazards!  
The area shown in the illustration may reach a  
high temperature, so take care to avoid burns.  
This unit, either alone or in combination with  
an amplifier and headphones or speakers,  
may be capable of producing sound levels  
that could cause permanent hearing loss.  
Do not operate for a long period of time  
at a high volume level, or at a level that  
is uncomfortable. If you experience any  
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you  
should immediately stop using the unit, and  
consult an audiologist.  
CAUTION  
The unit and the AC adaptor should be  
located so their location or position does not  
interfere with their proper ventilation.  
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor  
cord when plugging into, or unplugging  
from, an outlet or this unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES  
Explanations noted as (F-120 only) or (RP301 only) are cautions that apply only to the corresponding model; the F-120 or the RP301. They do not apply to other models.  
Depending on the material and temperature of the  
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet  
may discolor or mar the surface.  
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the  
rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you  
do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or  
move accidentally (F-120 only).  
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.  
Power Supply  
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet  
that is being used by an electrical appliance that  
is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator,  
washing machine, microwave oven, or air  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The explanations in this manual include  
illustrations that depict what should typically be  
shown by the display.  
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a  
newer, enhanced version of the system, so what  
you actually see in the display may not always  
match what appears in the manual.  
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after  
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is  
not a cause for concern.  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of  
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration  
and/or deformation.  
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.  
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 (RP301 only).  
Do not apply undue force to the music stand while  
it is in use (RP301 only).  
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 (RP301  
only).  
With the factory settings, the unit’s power will  
automatically be switched off 240 minutes (4 hours)  
after you stop playing or operating the unit.  
If the unit’s power has been turned off  
Repairs and Data  
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  
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 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.  
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.  
Care of the keyboard  
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.  
This device may interfere with radio and television  
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of  
such receivers.  
Do not affix stickers on the keyboard You  
may be unable to remove stickers that use  
strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause  
discoloration.  
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.

About ground terminal  
When attaching the music rest, make sure that it is firmly inserted all  
the way toward the back, and use your hand to support the music rest  
so that it does not fall. Also take care not to pinch your hand.  
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. 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  
“Informationpage.  
* Do not apply excessive force to the music rest.
