Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the HP207. To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the HP207’s functionality, please read this owner’s manual carefully.

About the Manual

You should first read the “Before You Play” (p. 16) section of the owner’s manual (this

document). This explains how to connect the power cord and turn on the power.

This owner’s manual explains everything from basic operations that use the HP207’s playback functions to more advanced operations, such as using the HP207 to record a song.

Conventions in this Manual

In order to explain the operations as clearly as possible, this manual uses the following conventions.

• Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates the name of a button or a knob, such as the

[Piano] button.

• Lines that begin with to read.

NOTE

or an asterisk * are cautionary statements that you must be sure

• The numbers of pages that you can turn to for additional, related information are given like this: (p. **).

• This document uses screen shots for explanatory purposes. Please be aware that the settings in these explanatory screen shots may not match the actual factory settings (Tone names, etc.).

Features of the HP207

Piano sounds with rich resonance and broad expressive range

The HP207 uses a stereo sampling piano sound generator that realistically reproduces even the sound of the hammers striking the strings, providing a faithful simulation of the sounds of a high-quality concert grand piano. With a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, it has ample capability even for performances that make extensive use of pedaling.

It contains not only piano sounds, but a total of more than 300 different sounds covering a wide range of musical styles. You can also play a drum set from the keyboard.

“Ivory feel” keyboard for realistic grand piano playing sensation

The unrivaled feel of the ivory and ebony traditionally used in the highest quality piano keyboards has been replicated using modern technology in the “ivory feel” keyboard.

The white keys are a two-piece structure consisting of a base material and surface, providing a natural appearance as well as the ideal combination of strength and response.

2


Introduction

The progressive hammer action

II

(PHA

II

) gives you a highly natural touch in which the low ranges have an appropriate weightiness and the high ranges have a light playing feel. In addition, the escapement mechanism that causes a distinctive sense of “click” when you play a note softly has also been faithfully replicated, giving the HP207 a high degree of playability.

To ensure sanitary conditions under extended use, long-lasting antibacterial processing has also been applied.

Gorgeous yet tasteful cabinet

The cabinet features a new design that projects the tasteful atmosphere of an acoustic piano when the cover of the operating panel is closed. Attention has been paid to giving the HP207 the aura of a quality musical instrument.

Versatile functionality you expect from a digital piano

Piano Designer

The HP207 rivals the sound and expressive power of a grand piano, with careful simulation of the changes in sound produced by opening or closing the grand piano lid, the subtle sounds of releasing a key, the sympathetic resonance between strings, and the sound of the damper pedal being pressed to move the damper away from the strings.

These aspects of the sound can be customized to your taste.

Concert hall reverberation

In addition to high-quality reverberation effects, the HP207 provides a 3D Sound Control function, which reproduces the spatial depth of a full concert grand piano, and a

Dynamics Sound Control function, which enhances the coherence and power of the sound.

You can also enjoy a special presence effect when performing with headphones.

Versatile functions to assist practicing, and built-in piano songs with accompaniment

The metronome function, a “3-track recorder,” and internal preset songs with orchestral accompaniment and an included score collection (containing sixty songs) make the

HP207 an excellent choice for piano lessons.

Perform and save data

Data you perform using the recorder can be saved on a separately available floppy disk drive or USB memory device.

In addition to a floppy disk drive or USB memory, you can connect a commercially available USB-type CD drive and play back SMF music files, music CDs, or audio files.

SMF music files from USB memory, floppy disk, or CD-ROM can also be saved in internal memory.

Before You Play

About the Pedals

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them mainly when playing piano.

fig.Pedals-e.eps

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.

When you press the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, a slight noise is heard when the damper frees the strings, and a richly spacious resonance is added by the strings that vibrate in sympathy with the strings of the notes you actually play. The

HP207 replicates the sound created when the damper releases the string (“damper noise”) and the sympathetic vibration (“damper resonance”).

You can modify the sound of the damper releasing the string and the sound of the sympathetic vibration.

Refer to the Piano Designer function (p. 27) settings

“Damper Noise” and “Damper Resonance.”

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.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.

The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.

NOTE

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal.

Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work (Center/

Left Pedal Func)” (p. 81).

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the HP207 while the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal cable while the HP207’s power is switched off.

20

About the Adjuster

If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve moved the HP207 to a different location), you can adjust the adjuster located on the bottom of the pedals as follows.

• 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 HP207 on carpet, you must turn the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.

Adjuster


Before You Play

Listening through Headphones

You can use headphones to enjoy the HP207 without disturbing those around you, such as at night. Since the

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments

(tuning methods).

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.

For details, refer to “Temperaments” (p. 29).

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.

This lets you specify the amount of “stretched tuning,” a tuning method specifically for pianos, in which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.

If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the HP207 will be used.

If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched tuning yourself. Play the key whose pitch you want to adjust, then use the [-] [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.

(If you adjust the “Preset” setting, the selection will change to “User.”)

This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration produced in strings other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).

Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing the strings when you press the damper pedal).

This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale (p.

29).


This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of strings for previously played notes that occur when you play another note).

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.

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 tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (

III

).

This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings.

Performances are possible in all keys (first technique,

III

).

What is the Duplex Scale?

The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.

These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.

Saving the Piano Designer settings

The piano sound you create using Piano Designer will return to its original state when you turn off the power. If you want to keep the sound you created so that it will be

preserved even when the power is off, execute the Memory Backup operation (p. 86) to

save your settings.

Description

The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys.

This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.

You can achieve fortissimo (ff) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for children.

This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play.

This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

Changing the Key of the Keyboard (Key Transpose)

The “Key Transpose” function lets you play a song at a different key. If you’re accompanying a singer, you can use the Transpose function to shift the pitch to a key that’s comfortable for the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key

(fingering).

You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing your fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

Saving Your Performance

Initializing the Memory

Here’s how you can completely erase all songs that were saved in internal memory, USB memory (sold separately), or a floppy disk (sold separately).

fig.panel-deleteSong-e.eps

NOTE

Once an initialization is performed, all songs that have been saved in memory will be erased. The erased data cannot be recovered, so we recommend that you check the contents of memory before you proceed.

NOTE

If you’re using new USB memory (sold separately) with the HP207 for the first time, you’ll need to initialize (format) the USB memory before using it. The HP207 can’t use

USB memory that has not been initialized.

For details on handling USB memory, refer to “Using External Memory” (p. 22).

1.

If you will be initializing internal memory, connect the USB memory to the

external memory connector (p. 22).

If you will be initializing a floppy disk, connect your floppy disk drive to the external memory connector, and insert the disk into the drive.

2.

If the screen indicates “Error,” please refer to “Error Messages” (p. 96).

NOTE

Initializing the HP207’s internal memory will not initialize settings other than the contents of internal memory. If you want to return settings other than the contents of internal memory to their factory-set condition, execute the Factory Reset

operation (p. 86).

NOTE

Don’t disconnect the USB memory until USB memory initialization has been completed.

NOTE

While a floppy disk is being initialized, do not eject the disk from the floppy disk drive or disconnect the cable of the disk drive.

For more about MIDI, refer to “Connecting to MIDI Devices”

(p. 90).

Preventing Doubled Notes When Connected to a Sequencer (Local Control)

When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this parameter to Local Off.

Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect the route in (1).

Troubleshooting

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

Symptom

Power does not turn on

Nothing appears in the screen

Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”

Unable to read from/write to USB memory

Cause/Action

Is the power cord connected correctly?

Since the HP207 uses a liquid crystal screen, it may happen that no text or graphics appear in the screen if the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius

(32 degrees Fahrenheit).

Is the pedal connected correctly?

Plug the cable firmly into the pedal connector.

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the HP207 while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuck” in the On condition.

You must power-off the HP207 before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cable.

If you’ve switched the function of the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal, these pedals will not operate as the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal.

Are you using (optional) Roland USB memory?

Reliable performance cannot be guaranteed if you use non-Roland USB memory products.

If you are unable to read or write USB memory successfully, change the

External Memory setting.

“Buzz” is heard from external devices

Device connected to the Input jacks have insufficient volume

No sound

Are the external devices connected to more than one AC power outlet?

If you connect external devices, be sure to connect them to the same AC outlet.

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

No sound

No sound when you play back a song

No sound from the leftmost notes of the keyboard

Is the speaker cable connected correctly?

Could the HP207’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?

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 the keyboard. Set Local Control to On.

Has Local Control been set to “Off”?

When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to On.

Could the song volume be set to “0”?

Is V-LINK switched on?

When V-LINK is on, the lowest twelve notes of the keyboard are used to control the image, and will not produce sound.

Troubleshooting

Not all the notes you play are sounded

Symptom

No sound (when a MIDI device is connected)

Cause/Action

Are all devices powered on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Do the MIDI channels of the HP207 and the connected device match?

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes. If you are playing along with a song and making heavy use of the damper pedal, the number of notes the HP207 is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum polyphony, meaning that some of the notes will drop out.

Notes don’t sound right

Sound is not loud enough

Only the high sounds are heard


Pitch of the keyboard or song is incorrect

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played

The wrong instrument is selected when you press the [Strings],

[Voice], or [Others] button

Effect does not apply

Reverberation remains even if

You defeat the Reverb effect

The sound of the higher notes suddenly changes from a certain key

Could you have made Key Transpose settings?

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?

Is the setting for the Temperament correct?

Is the settings for the Stretch Tuning correct?

Is the HP207 in Dual performance?

When the HP207 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.

INSTRUMENT buttons [Strings] [Voice] [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”

With the factory settings, connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to the external memory connector and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [Strings], [Voice], and [Others]

Tone buttons, so that you can select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.

You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.

When you are using Dual performance or Split performance, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the effect will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual performance) or the left-hand tone (when using

Split performance).

The HP207’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect.

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. HP207 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the HP207, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

High-pitched ringing is heard

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

Cause/Action


If you hear this in headphones:

Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial highfrequency 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.

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.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the HP207 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.

• 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.

If this occurs, turn down the volume.

Alternatively, lower the master gain.

You can’t play back an internal song if internal memory contains performance data you recorded. Erase the performance data you recorded before you play back the song.

Could a track be muted?

If the button indicator is out, the music on that track is not heard. Press the track button so the indicator is illuminated.

Could the Part Mute setting be active?

Muted parts will not be heard.

Could the track mute volume be set to other than “0”?

If you set this to “0,” the sound of a muted track will be completely inaudible.

Could the song volume be lowered?

When playing a song from USB memory, the tempo may become unstable if there is an excessive amount of performance data.

Music Files That the HP207 Can Use

What Are Music Files?

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. 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.

Regarding Copyright

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 HP207 Allows You To Use the

Following Music Files

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 (HP207) is not able to play back VIMA

TUNES images.

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.

The HP207 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

106

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.

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.

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 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).

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.
