POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the
unit has 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 acces-
sible.
• Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as
that found on finely crafted wooden furniture, it needs
careful, periodic care. A few important suggestions
concerning the proper care of the unit follow.
• For dusting, using a soft, clean cloth and/or piano-use
feather duster. Be sure to wipe gently. Even the tiniest
grains of sand or grit can leave scratches on the surface
if too much force is applied while wiping.
Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since they might
deteriorate the surface of the cabinet, and produce
cracks.
• If the cabinet’s surface loses its luster, wipe it
thoroughly with a soft cloth dampened with a little of
the polishing liquid.

• 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.

Introduction
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-7 Digital Grand Piano.
The RG-7 is sure to be highly appreciated, not only for the authentic piano performances it offers, but also for
its extensive selection of player piano functions.
In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time to
read through this manual in its entirety.
Main Features
Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-Ranging Expressiveness
The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of the hammers striking
the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand piano.
Maximum polyphony of 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes.
Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style
The RG-7 exhibits elegance in form with a beautiful black, mirror-like surface. With features just like those
found on an acoustic grand, such as a lid that opens and closes and retractable music rest, this instrument is
a perfect match for lounge or living room.
The simple, modern, and stylish panel design makes switching tones and making settings a snap.
Full Complement of Player Piano Functions
The RG-7 comes programmed with song data in jazz and classical styles. You can also use the CD drive to play
back a wide variety of music on the CD included with the instrument as well as songs on CD-ROMs
containing saved SMF files, player piano CDs, and audio CDs. Moreover, you can add song data by copying
songs saved on USB memory and CD-ROMs to the RG-7’s “Favorites.”
The RG-7 includes a “Moving Key” function, which plays the keys along with the song, providing exquisite
performances that are played automatically.
Also included is a convenient remote control you can use for selecting songs, adjusting volume, switching the
Moving Key function on and off simply and easily. You can connect an external display or television set to the
RG-7 for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide
shows.
Instrument Endowed with Superior Basic Functions
The RG-7 uses the progressive hammer action keyboard, which reproduces the touch of a grand piano, with
a heavier feel in the lower registers and a lighter, quicker response in the upper registers. This keyboard also
accurately reproduces the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when the keys are played gently (escapement
mechanism).
The instrument further is equipped with highly responsive pedals, which lend even greater expressive detail
to your performances.
The RG-7 also is programmed with 20 carefully selected performance tones, including two types of grand
piano tones, which you can select according to your own taste. What’s more, the settings for the “key touch,”
“hammer response,” and other precision tone adjustment settings that performers demand can be stored in
the RG-7 itself.
On top of this, a newly designed sound system puts the focus on the sound of the piano to achieve a luscious,
natural piano sound.

Introduction
Professional-Level Features and Specifications
The instrument features a lid lock to prevent unauthorized operation of the controls or keys while the Moving
Key function is in use, and an Ext Memory port lock to prevent theft of connected USB memory.
Since the RG-7 is a digital instrument, it has no strings and therefore requires no tuning.
You can connect an external display or television to the piano to run slide shows using whatever images you
prefer and, with a microphone connected, you can add echo and harmonies to microphone vocals and use the
Transformer function to change the sound of the vocals.
Connect External Speakers to Produce Concert Hall Presence
You can connect an amp and speakers to the RG-7 and play the sounds of the reverb and accompaniment
through the external speakers to produce the effect of being enveloped by an orchestra.
The RG-7 is equipped with XLR connectors, a very convenient feature when the instrument is used on stage.

to the headphones. Lower the volume on the RG-7
before plugging in the headphones.
- Changing the orientation of the microphone.
- Relocating microphone at a greater distance from
speakers.
- Lowering volume levels.
• Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only
damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing
loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

Chapter 1. Playing Back Songs
Look at What You Can Do with the RG-7!
Listen to the Internal Songs
The various internal songs programmed in the RG-7 are categorized into “Jazz” and
“Classical” genres. You can play back the songs in these genres in a variety of ways,
playing all the songs in sequence or randomly, or just playing songs individually.
Listen to the Included CD and Commercial Audio CDs
You can use the RG-7’s CD drive to play the included CD, CD-ROMs containing
saved SMF music files, commercial audio CDs, and player piano CDs.
Listen to Songs Saved to USB Memory
Not only can you play CDs, you can also play back SMF music files saved on USB
memory. In addition, you can connect USB memory and copy song data recorded
with the RG-7 to the USB memory.
Store Songs in the “Favorites”
The RG-7 is set at the factory with tone demos registered in the “Favorites.” Listen
to the tone demos to check out the special characteristics of each tone.
Additionally, you can save songs recorded with the RG-7 to the “Favorites” and you
can copy songs stored in USB memory to the “Favorites” as well. Songs held in the
“Favorites” are not lost when the power is turned off, making this a convenient place
to store those songs you listen to often.
Easy-to-Use Remote Control Included
You can use the included remote control to start and stop the current performance
and switch songs. You can also use the remote control to select what is to be
displayed on an external screen or television set connected to the RG-7 and assign
other functions to the remote control’s buttons to make operating the RG-7 even
simpler.
Connect a Microphone for Karaoke Performances
Connect a microphone to the RG-7, and you are ready to enjoy karaoke. You can
change the key of the song to match the singer’s voice and adjust the amount of echo
applied to the microphone input. In addition, the RG-7 includes functions for adding
harmonies and effects (Transformer) to vocals.
Show Your Favorite Images on a Connected Display or Television
You can connect an external display or television set to the RG-7 and display the
Song Select screen, lyrics and notations, and even slide shows of your favorite
images. You can also use the remote control to switch the images appearing in the
connected external display or television.
The “Moving Key” Feature
You can have the RG-7’s keyboard play automatically along with the internal songs,
songs recorded with the RG-7, songs on CDs, and songs stored in USB memory. You
can switch this feature on and off with the [Moving Key] button on the front panel
or with the buttons on the remote control.

■ Listening to Songs on CDs
Cautions
Handling CDs
• Do not leave discs exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
• Handle CDs with your finger and thumb, holding the disc by the center hole and
outer rim. Do not touch or scratch the disc’s recording surface (the green side).
• Do not drop or stack discs.
• Do not place heavy objects on discs or subject them to strong impact.
• Do not affix stickers or other such materials on the label side. Placing stickers on
the disc may result in errors when data writing and scratch the disc.
• Use a felt-tip marker or other soft-tipped implement to write titles and other
information on the label side of discs.
• Store discs in their original cases or other suitable cases for protection.
• Before using the CD, please read the warning on the CD cover.
Cleaning Discs
• If a disc becomes dusty or soiled, gently wipe the disc with a soft cloth. Always
wipe outwards from the center using light, gentle strokes. Do not wipe the disk
in a circular pattern.
Precautions Concerning Use of the CD
• CD-R/RW discs to which audio tracks have been added, and CDs with mixed
audio tracks and data will not play back properly.
• The RG-7 is capable of playing back only commercial CDs that conform the
official standards-those that carry the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO”
logo. The usability and sound quality of audio discs that incorporate copyright
protection technology and other non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.
• For more detailed information on audio discs featuring copyright protection
technology and other non-standard CDs, please consult the disc vendor.
• You cannot save songs and styles to CDs, and you cannot delete songs or styles
recorded to CDs. Furthermore, you cannot format CDs.
• The prescribed format for CD-R/RW discs is “ISO9660 Level 1 Mode 1.”
• You may be unable to read using other formats.
CDs That Can Be Played Back
• Commercially available audio CDs
• CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files
• CD included with the RG-7
• Player piano CDs

You can save this setting in the

Memory Backup function (p.

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note
sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to
produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly, meaning
that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the
moment you press the key until the sound is produced.
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.

Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches
(Master Tuning)
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune
the RG-7’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.”

Setting the Tuning Curve
(Stretch 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.”
You can save this setting in the
RG-7’s memory using the
Memory Backup function (p.
72).
A graph that shows the changes in pitch of actual tuning compared with the changes
in equal temperament pitch is called a tuning curve. Changing the tuning curve
produces subtle variations in the reverberations of the chords you play.

Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most
common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide variety of other
tuning systems in existence. 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.

Equal
Qualities
In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal
steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of
slight dissonance.
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(Maj)
Just(min)
Kirnberger
The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You
can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the
major scale.
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 (III).
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras,
eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is
produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are
euphonious.
Pythagorean
Mean Tone
This scale makes some compromises in just intonation,
enabling transposition to other keys.

■ MIDI Send Channel Settings
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication
to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the
same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced,
and no sounds can be selected.
1. Turn the volume all the way down on the RG-7 and on

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).

Music Files That the RG-7 Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations
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 RG-7 from music files saved in USB
memory 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 erase certain parts, or to change instruments, tempos and
keys freely, allowing you to use it in many different ways.
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.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk 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.
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.
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
■ The RG-7 allows you to use the
following music files
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 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.
The RG-7 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
■ About the RG-7 Sound
Generator
The RG-8 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
XG lite
General MIDI
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 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.
