Introduction
Main Features
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.
More than three hundred different sounds covering not only piano but a wide range of
instruments are built-in. You can also play drum sets from the keyboard.
The playing feel of a grand piano
The Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II) action 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 distinctive sense of click (escapement) that you experience when softly
playing a piano note is also accurately simulated, ensuring a high degree of playability.
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.
Compact Design
The simple design is at home both in the living room as well as in the children’s room.
When its lid (which descends slowly and smoothly) is closed, the instrument presents a
clean, flat look.
And its compact design, with a depth of only about 1 feet, allows it to fit in perfectly with
other furniture.
The versatile functionality you expect from a digital piano
Replicating the ambience of a concert hall
In addition to a high-quality reverb effect, these instruments also feature a 3D Sound
Control function, which replicates the spatial depth of a full concert grand piano, and a
Dynamic Sound Control function, which enhances the consistency and power of the
sound. Even when performing through headphones, you can use these effects to enjoy
sounds with superb presence.
Convenient functions to help you practice, and built-in piano songs with
accompaniment
A metronome function, a three-track recorder, and internal preset songs with orchestral
accompaniment, making this electronic piano an excellent choice for piano lessons.
Performing and saving data
The data you’ve recorded using the recorder can be saved using a separately sold floppy
disk drive or USB memory. In addition to a floppy disk drive or USB memory, you can
also connect a commercially available USB-type CD drive and play back SMF music
data, music CDs, or audio files. SMF music data from USB memory, a floppy disk, or CD-
ROM can also be saved in internal memory.

Important Notes
In addition to the “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” listed on page 8, please observe the following cautions.
Power Supply
• 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.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
• For everyday care, wipe with a soft, dry cloth, or use a
moistened, tightly wrung-out cloth to remove dirt. Wooden
parts must be wiped in the direction of the grain, applying
equal pressure to the entire part. Forcefully scrubbing the
same location repeatedly may damage the finish.
Part of the finish may adhere to the wiping cloth, but this
will not affect the finish.
• Before you make connections, you must switch off the power
on all devices to prevent malfunction and/or speaker damage.
Location

deformation or color change.
Other Cautions
• Stored content may be lost due to a malfunction of the
device or because of inadvertent operation. You should
back up important content on USB memory as a safeguard
against such loss
• If you move this device between locations of radically different
temperature or humidity, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the device. Using the device in this condition will
cause malfunctions, so please allow several hours for the
condensation to disappear before you use the device.
• We cannot accept responsibility for the recovery of any
content lost from internal memory or USB memory, or for
the consequences of such loss.
• Do not apply excessive force to the buttons, knobs, or
input/output jacks, since this may cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow items made of rubber or vinyl to remain on
top of this device for an extended time. This can cause
deformation or color change.
• When connecting or disconnecting cables, grasp the plug
(not the cable) to prevent short circuits or broken
connections.
• Do not leave objects on top of the keyboard. This can
cause malfunctions such as failure to sound.
• Please enjoy your music in ways that do not inconvenience
other people nearby, and pay particular attention to the
volume at nighttime. Using headphones will allow you to
enjoy music without having to be concerned about others.

• 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.
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is
required to enable storage of large amounts of data on
such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity,
please observe the following when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes
(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle).
• If using the music rest, do not apply excessive force to it.
• Some connection cables contain a resistor. Do not connect
such cables to this device. Doing so may make the volume
extremely low or inaudible. Please use connection cables
not containing a resistor.
• Do not insert your finger into the bass reflex port (hole) of
the speaker box. The edge of the wood may injure you.
Recommended temperature range: 10–50 degrees C
(50–122 degrees F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields,
such as those generated by loudspeakers.
• Never insert foreign objects (flammable material, coins,
wire, etc.) into the bass reflex port (hole) of the speaker
box. Doing so may cause damage or malfunctions.
• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect
the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the
tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the
WRITE position only when you wish to write new data onto
the disk.
fig.DiskProtect.e.eps
Rear side of the disk

Before You Play
Getting Ready to Play
Connecting the Pedal Cord
1. Connect the pedal cord to the Pedal jack on
the rear panel of DP-990, at the rear.
fig.00-01
008c
NOTE
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
924
NOTE
Connecting the AC Adaptor
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit
(should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the
power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the
illustration.
Even if the cord is fastened, strong tension applied to the
cord may cause it to be damaged or broken. Be careful
not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong
pressure to it.
921
NOTE
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.
1. Connect the supplied AC adaptor and AC cord.

Power cord
NOTE
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 or the metal portions of other objects
connected to it. 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 “Information” page.
AC adaptor
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC In jack on
the rear panel.
3. As shown in the diagram, loop the AC adaptor
cord around the cord hook to fasten it in place.

Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper Pedal
Damper Pedal (right 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.
The length of sustain will change subtly depending on how
deeply you press the pedal.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually
producing a rich resonance. The DP-990 simulates this
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).
Headphones
You can modify the sound of the sympathetic
vibration. Refer to p. 72.
1. Plug the headphones into the PHONES jack
located at the left of the DP-990’s bottom
panel.
Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)
Tuning Settings
You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using
their original tuning.
Matching the Pitch with Other
Instruments (Master Tuning)
Most modern songs are composed and played with the
assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning
in use today) will be used, but when classical music was
composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems
in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets
you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer
originally intended.
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other
such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another
instrument.
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.”

Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and
the high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This
method of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as
“stretched tuning.”

Specifying the Tonic
This is the standard tuning curve. This is suitable for
when using Dual performance (p. 35) or when
playing in an ensemble with other instruments.
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.

reproduces this effect is called “String Resonance.”
You can change the volume of the damper pedal resonance.
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 top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper
pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. DP-990
faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the DP-990, 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
—
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 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 a nearby Roland service center.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
Cause/Action
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Page
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the DP-
990 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.
• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.
• Keep the volume down.
—
Low notes sound wrong, or are
buzzy
• 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.
If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted
depending on how you perform.

p. 43
If this occurs, turn down the volume.

Music Files That the DP-990 Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to
the key played, and other such information. When the
performance data (music file) is sent by your computer or
similar device, the song will be played exactly as specified by
the data. 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.
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.
General MIDI 2
Regarding Copyright
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.
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.
Use of the song data supplied with the CD-ROM attached to
this product 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.
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 DP-990 Allows You To Use the
Following Music Files
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).
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.
* This instrument (DP-990) is not able to play back VIMA
TUNES images.
SMF Music Files
XG lite
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.
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.
