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.

Maintenance

401b

• 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.

Placement

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.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or

deformation.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television

403

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such

receivers.

• 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.

352b

• 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.

Repairs and Data

452

• 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 in another

MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), 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.

354b

• 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.

551

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 in another MIDI device

(e.g., a sequencer).

Add

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

of data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has

been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability

concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s

buttons, knobs, or other controls; and when using its jacks

and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556

• 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.

557

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during

normal operation.

558a

• 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).

559b

• 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.

560

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

562

• 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.

565

• 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.

Main Features

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP201.

To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the HP201’s functionality, please

read this owner’s manual carefully.

Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide Expressive Range

• This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is capable of faithfully

recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano, realistically reproducing even the finest details,

including the sound of the hammers striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, it has ample

capability even for performances that make full use of pedaling.

The Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

• The Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II) keyboard gives you a weighty playing feel in the low register while

becoming lighter in the high register, replicating the authentic feel of a piano.

• The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by the changing the depth to which

you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which subtle differences in pedaling will affect the

sound.

A Compact Cabinet that Fits Anywhere

• The newly designed cabinet projects a sense of elegant craftsmanship. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and

does not occupy excessive space.

• In addition to a sliding keyboard lid that stores inside the instrument, there’s a headphone hook for conveniently

storing your headphones when not using them.

Functionality to Assist Your Practicing

• There’s a metronome, a recorder function, and built-in song, so you can experience the kind of piano lessons

that are possible only with a digital piano.

USB (MIDI) Connector

• There’s a USB (MIDI) connector for connection to your computer, allowing you to play the HP201 using data

from your computer, or to use your computer for even more versatile music production and editing.

The HP201’s sound generator supports the GM2 system, GS format, and XG lite, allowing you to enjoy

impressive ensemble performances by using your computer or sequencer to play back commercially available

music in these formats.

Adjusting the Sound’s Volume

About the Adjuster

If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve

moved the HP201 to a different location), you can adjust the

adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.

1. Turn the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the overall

volume.

fig.00-07.e

• 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 HP201 on carpet, you must turn

the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.

About the Pedals

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them

mainly when playing piano.

Adjuster

Damper Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Soft Pedal

If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either

the left or right side of the stand to make it easier for

another person to turn the adjuster and make the

adjustment.

Damper Pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an

extended time even if you release your fingers from the

keyboard.

NOTE

After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if the

front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it

makes firm contact with 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 HP201 simulates this

sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

NOTE

Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.

NOTE

You can change the amount of resonance applied with

the damper pedal. Refer to “Changing the Damper

Pedal’s Resonance (Damper Resonance)” (p. 34).

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.

The standard pitch will be set to 440.0 Hz. This is the

most commonly used setting. The A4 (Middle A) key will

sound at 440.0 Hz.

In situations such as when playing ensemble with other

instruments, you can tune the HP201’s standard pitch to the

pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally refers

to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the

middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard

pitch is called “tuning.”

You can set the standard pitch anywhere in a range of 415.3

Hz to 466.2 Hz.

This is set to “440.0 Hz” when the HP201 is shipped from the

factory.

You can use the Memory Backup function to store this

Changing the Temperament

Temperament/Qualities

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic

temperaments (tuning methods).

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher

Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths

and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-

interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

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. Playing a composition

with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the

chords that the composer originally intended.

This temperament combines the Mean Tone and

Pythagorean tunings. Performances are

possible in all keys (first method, number three).

This is set to “Equal” when the instrument is turned on.

1. While holding down the [METRONOME] and

[REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, press the

appropriate key (F3–B3) on the keyboard.

■ Setting the Tonic

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).

If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select

a tonic note.

1. While holding down the [METRONOME] and

[REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, press the tonic (root)

of the key (C4–B4).

F3 G3 A3 B3

You can choose from among the seven temperaments

described below.

Key

Temperament/Qualities

Pressed

C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4

Equal

In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve

equal steps. Every interval produces about the

same amount of slight dissonance.

NOTE

Just Major

When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be

aware that depending on the key, there may be some

shifting of the pitch. Tune the HP201 to the standard pitch

of the other instruments.

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 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.

Kirnberger

This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and

Just tunings that provides a high degree of

freedom of modulation. Performances are

possible in all keys (third method).

Mean Tone

This scale makes some compromises in just

intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

Changing Various Settings

Changing the Damper Pedal’s

Resonance (Damper Resonance)

Setting the Tuning Curve

(Stretch Tuning)

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 HP201 recreates this resonance (damper resonance) when

depressed.

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range

and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This

special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”

NOTE

You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant

sound (resonance level).

This effect works only with the piano tones.

Stretch Tuning is set to On when the instrument is turned

on.

You can use the Memory Backup function to store this

setting in internal memory (p. 36).

1. While holding down the [METRONOME] and

[REVERB/KEY TOUCH] buttons, the “D2” note to turn

the setting On, or press the “C2” note to turn the

This is set to “4” when the HP201 is shipped from the

factory.

NOTE

This setting is enabled only with the piano tones. You

cannot set this for other tones.

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging

performance data, you can control the performances on 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 stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an

international standard which allows performance information

to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and

computers.

MIDI Cable

The HP201 provides MIDI connectors, which allow

performance data to be exchanged with external devices.

When these connectors are used to connect the HP201 to

external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes

available.

Troubleshooting

If you think there’s a problem, read this first.

Case

Cause/Remedy

Case

Cause/Remedy

On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one

and a half octaves of the keyboard continue

to sound until they decay naturally, regardless

of the damper pedal. There is a difference in

the timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully

simulate such characteristics of the acoustic

piano. On the HP201, the range that is

unaffected by the damper pedal will change

depending on the Transpose setting.

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause

instruments near the HP201 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.
