Some Notes on Using Headphones  
Connecting a Microphone  
You can connect a microphone into the Mic jack, and enjoy karaoke  
with the HPi-7S.  
• To avoid damaging or severing the headphone cord, be sure to  
handle the headphones by holding the phones themselves, and  
grasping the plug and not the cord when pulling the headphone  
plug.  
• To prevent possible auditory damage, loss of hearing, or  
damage to the headphones, the headphones should not be used  
at an excessively high volume. Listen at appropriate levels.  
• 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.  
• Please use stereo headphones.  
Using the Headphone Hook  
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them on  
the headphone hook at the lower left of the HPi-7S.

Some Notes on Using a Microphone  
• Be careful of high volume levels when using mikes late at night or  
early in the morning.  
• When connecting a microphone to the HPi-7S, be sure to lower  
the volume. If the volume control is too high when the microphone  
is plugged in, noise may be produced by the speakers.

Adjusting the Contrast of the  
Screen  
Using USB Memory/Floppy Disk  
A song you’ve recorded on the HPi-7S can be saved by copying it to  
separately sold USB memory (p. 84). You can also copy songs to a  
floppy disk using a separately sold floppy disk drive.  
You can adjust the brightness of the HPi-7S’s display.

fig.ConnectUSBMem.eps  
Some Notes on Using the LCD Screen  
• Never remove the liquid crystal display cover at the back of the  
music rest. By removing it you risk electrical shock and/or  
malfunction.  
• You may see vertical lines in the screen, but this is due to the  
structure of a liquid crystal display, and does not indicate a  
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.  
If you’re using new USB memory or floppy Disk, you’ll need  
to initialize (format) it on the HPi-7S. For details, refer to  
“Formatting Media (Format)” (p. 79).  
Installing the Floppy Disk Drive  
Attach the floppy disk drive as shown the figure, using the mounting  
holes on the HPi-7S’s bottom panel.  
For details of the attachment, refer to the owner’s manual of  
the floppy disk drive.

Some Notes on the Notation Screen  
• When you begin song playback, the notation screen will show  
. 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.

Adjusting the Tempo  
This changes the song tempo.  
If songs seem difficult to play at their original speed, you may find it helpful to first practice with the tempo  
slowed down. Then, after becoming more familiar with the song, you can practice it at a gradually faster tempo.  
Changing the tempo has no effect on the pitch of the notes. Additionally you can change the tempo even when  
the song is in progress.

Press the Tempo [Slow] [Fast] buttons to adjust the tempo.

Changing the Key of the Keyboard or Song Playback (Transpose)  
By using the “Transpose” function, you can transpose your performance without changing the notes you play.  
For example, if a song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can use this function to  
play it in an easier key.  
You can also use this function to play back a song in a different key.  
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the key to a range that is comfortable for the singer,  
while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering positions).  
Press the [Transpose] button.

Recording Your Performance  
Multitrack Recording on Five Tracks  
Multitrack recording is a method by which you can record additional tracks while listening to the previously  
recorded tracks.  
The HPi-7S provides five tracks, so you can record different sounds on each track to create an ensemble song.  
You can also record on 16 tracks (p. 94).

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.

move when the keys are played gently. When set  
to Off, sounds are played immediately when the  
keys are pressed, regardless of the force used to  
play them.

Setting the Reference Pitch  
and Temperament (Tuning)  
This temperament is a combination of  
meantone and Pythagorean temperaments. It  
allows you to play in all keys. (First method,  
number three.)  
Werkmeister  
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-7S 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-7S’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.  
415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz  
Setting  
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.

Basic Procedure  
First, have the song that you want to edit selected.  
Recording and Playing Back  
Performances of Specific  
Instruments (16 Track)  
The HPi-7S lets you record 16 separate parts. Multitrack recording is a  
method of recording whereby you listen to what has previously been  
recorded while recording new parts on top of that material.  
1. Press the [Function] button.  
The Functions screen appears.  
2. Press the cursor buttons to select the <16 Track>, then  
press the [  
] button.  
A screen like the one shown below appears.  
fig.d-16Track-e_45  
By recording a different tone to each part, you can create song data  
for performances that feature up to 16 different tones layered  
together.  
The function used for recording the 16 individual parts one at a time is  
called the “16-track sequencer.”  
fig.16Track-e

You can record performances for up to 16 parts,  
overlaying them part by part, to create a single song.

16-Track Sequencer and the Track Buttons  
In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track Buttons”  
(p. 59) are another of the unit’s playing/recording functions.  
6. When you have finished the settings and recording, press  
the [ ] button.  
These “track buttons” group the 16-track sequencer’s 16 parts with  
five buttons. Using the 16-track sequencer to work with performances  
recorded with the track buttons allows you to record even more  
sounds and edit with precision.

Each of the 16-track sequencer’s parts is used for recording a single  
tone, so you cannot use it to record tones that combine two tones  
simultaneously, as in Dual (p. 56) and Split (p. 57) performances.  
You can also change the tones in each part, select specific parts for  
playback (solo), and prevent specified parts from playing (mute).  
Playback with only a single part muted is called “Minus One.”  
You can even set solo and muting during playback.  
Part 11 of Roland SMF music file that is available for purchase is

When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not  
necessary to make the Local Off setting. The MT transmits a Local  
Off message when the power is turned on. If you turn on the  
power in the order of the HPi-7S MT series, Local Off will be  
set automatically.

Sending Recorded Performance Data to a  
MIDI Device (Composer Out)  
When Composer Out is active, you can send performance data  
recorded with the HPi-7S to a connected MIDI device or computer.  
Connect the HPi-7S to your computer as shown below.  
When you turn on the power, this is set to “Off” (data is not sent).  
If you want a performance recorded on the HPi-7S to be transmitted to  
an external MIDI device or computer, turn the “Composer Out” setting  
“On.” If this is “Off,” performance data will not be transmitted.

Sending Tone Change Messages (Program

A Program Change is a message that means “change to the Tone of  
the specified number.” The device that receives this changes to the  
Tone of the corresponding number.  
USB Cable  
USB  
When you choose a Program Change message (Program Number),  
the Program Number will be transmitted to the MIDI device connected  
to the HPi-7S. The MIDI device that receives the Program Number  
changes the tone to the corresponding Program Number.

Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available. Some  
MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones. With such  
devices, the Tone is selected through a combination of Program  
Change messages and Bank Select messages. There are two parts of  
a Bank Select message: the MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127)  
and the LSB (Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).  
If connection to your computer is

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect the  
HPi-7S to your computer. However, if some problem occurs, or if the  
original driver, refer to the Roland website.  
Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages.  
Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages,  
but ignore the LSB message.

Cause/Remedy  
Have you set Transpose? (p. 68)  
When listening through speakers:  
Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments  
near the HPi-7S 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-7S Can Use  
What Are Music Files?  
About the HPi-7S 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-  
7S 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-7S 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 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-7S 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.  
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  
“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 lite  
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-7S come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
