IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages

3–5, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

306b

• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable testing.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

308

• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the

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 accessible.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment 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.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

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.

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.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

356

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

358

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

359

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.

Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

Maintenance

401b (edit)

• 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. Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since they might deteriorate the surface of the cabinet, and produce cracks. Do not use dusting cloths that contain chemicals.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

403

• 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.

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 USB memory or floppy disk, 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.

RG-3M_e3.book 7 ページ 2008年3月25日 火曜日 午前10時1分

Automatic Keyboard

Add

• While the automatic keyboard is in operation, avoid doing anything that could hamper the action of the keys, such as using undue force to press a key, or forcing up a depressed key. By doing so, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the keyboard.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be 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 on a USB memory or floppy disk.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit‘s memory, on a USB memory, or on a floppy disk 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, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

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 shockabsorbent 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 stand 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Handling Floppy Disks

(Using Optional Floppy Disk Drive)

651

• 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). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50˚C (50 to 122˚F).

• Do not expose Floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers.

652

• 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

Write

(can write new data onto disk)

Write Protect Tab

Protect

(prevents writing to disk)

653

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.

654

• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By using a dirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.

• Disks containing performance data for this unit should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the

“Protect” position) before you insert them into the drive on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the

HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer’s drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the

“Write” position), when you perform any disk operations using the other device’s disk drive (such as checking the contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.

Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-3M Digital Grand Piano.

The RG-3M 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.

“Ivory Feel” Keyboard Provides Grand Piano Touch and Feel

• The RG-3M features an “ivory feel” keyboard, which thanks to the latest technology, reproduces the comfortable touch and feel of ivory (used for the white keys) and ebony (used for the black keys), materials reputed to be the best for use for piano keyboards. The white keys are made using a two-piece construction consisting of a surface material added to the basic key material. They have a natural appearance and just the right rigidity and response.

• The RG-3M promises superior performance with features such as Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II), which reproduces the touch of a grand piano and provides a heavier feel in the lower registers, and lighter, quicker response in the upper registers, while also accurately reproducing the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when the keys are played gently (escapement).

Full Complement of Player Piano Functions

• The RG-3M 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-3M for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide shows.

• The RG-3M 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-3M’s “Favorites.”

Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style

• The RG-3M 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.

Introduction

Instrument Endowed with Superior Basic Functions

• The RG-3M 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-3M 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.

Professional-Level Features and Specifications

• The RG-3M also includes a lid lock feature to prevent tampering during automatic performances and an Ext

Memory port lock to prevent theft of the connected USB memory.

• Since the RG-3M 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-3M 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-3M is equipped with XLR connectors, a very convenient feature when the instrument is used on stage.

Conventions Used in This Manual

This manual uses the following conventions in the interest of simpler, more concise instructions.

• Button names are enclosed in square brackets “[ ]”, as in [Song] button.

• An asterisk (*) or a NOTE at the beginning of a paragraph indicates a note or precaution.

Min Max Mellow Bright

Soft Pedal Damper Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Damper pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you take your fingers off the keys.

The length of the sustain changes subtly according to the extent to which the pedal is depressed.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance.

The RG-3M simulates this Damper Resonance.

→ You can change the amount of resonance applied with the

damper pedal. Please refer to “Producing the Resonance of the

Strings When the Keys Are Played (Damper Resonance)” (p.

61).

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound will have a softer tone.

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

→ You can assign functions to the left and center pedals. Refer to

“Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 72).

1.

Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located in the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-3M.

Connecting headphones will automatically mute the sound from the internal speakers.

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob of the RG-3M.

NOTE

Use stereo headphones.

Some Notes on Using Headphones

• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only by the headset or the plug.

• Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the RG-3M before plugging in the headphones.

• 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.

1.

Connect a microphone (sold separately) to the

Mic jack located in the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-3M.

2.

Rotate the Mic Volume knob on the left side of the Mic jack to adjust the volume level for the microphone.

3.

Adjust the mic echo (p. 39).

Some Notes on Using a Microphone

• Be careful of high volume levels when using microphone late at night or early in the morning.

• When connecting a microphone to the RG-3M, 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.

983

• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphone relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

• Changing the orientation of the microphone.

• Relocating microphone at a greater distance from speakers.

• Lowering volume levels.

Listen to the Internal Songs

The various internal songs programmed in the RG-3M 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.

Listening to Music from CDs or CD included with the RG-3M.

You can use the RG-3M’s CD drive to play the included CD, CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files, commercial audio CDs, and player piano CDs.

You can also use VIMA CDs (VIMA TUNES) sold by Roland.

Listen to Songs on USB memory

Additionally, you can save songs recorded with the RG-3M 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.

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-3M and assign other functions to the remote control’s buttons to make operating the RG-3M even simpler.

Connect a Microphone for Karaoke Performances

Connect a microphone to the RG-3M, 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-3M 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-3M 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.

Changing the Timing of Sounds According to the

Force Used to Press the Keys (Hammer Response)

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.

The RG-3M features a built-in, three-band digital equalizer.

An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the sound balance for the overall performance.

For example, you can boost the highs to get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.

You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the performance space.

Changing the Tuning

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.

Kirnberger

Meantone

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 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.

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

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control 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, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data between electronic instruments and computers.

The RG-3M is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the RG-3M to an external device for even greater versatility.

Making MIDI-related Settings

Here’s how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI related settings.

MIDI Transmit 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.

The RG-3M receives all channels 1–16.

Sending Tone Change Messages (Program

Change/Bank Select MSB/Bank Select LSB)

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.

When you choose a Program Change message (Program

Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the

MIDI device connected to the RG-3M.

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).

* Some MIDI instruments can’t handle Bank Select messages.

Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not recognize the LSB part.

Troubleshooting

Case

The power doesn’t come on

Depressing a pedal has no effect, or the pedal effect doesn’t stop

Cause/Remedy

Is the power cord connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 19)

Is the pedal connected correctly?

Make sure the pedal cord is securely connected to the pedal connector (p. 19).

Has a different function been assigned to the pedal?

See “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 72).

The volume level of the instrument connected to Input jacks is too low

Low hum coming from external device

Unable to load properly with

USB memory

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

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Do you have different external devices plugged into different power outlets?

When connecting external devices, always draw power from the same outlet.

Is the USB memory you are using one that was produced by Roland?

Performance is not guaranteed when other types of USB memory are used.

Connected Television or External Display Screen Looks Odd

Images not shown on external display or television when external display or television is connected

Is the external display or television properly connected? (p. 47, p. 49)

Is the external display’s power turned on?

Are you using a display that is compatible with the RG-3M?

Refer to “Displays That Can Be Connected to This Instrument” (p. 47).

Is the television format or display setting correct? (p. 48, p. 49)

Thin horizontal lines visible in the television screen

Poor-quality of images displayed in television

While narrow horizontal lines may be visible in the television screen, this is a particular characteristic of the television set and does not indicate any problem with the RG-3M.

Even when all recommended settings are used, images may still not be displayed well with the television set you are using (images may not match the screen size, and may be clustered towards the center of the screen).

No sound is heard

No sound is heard

No sound is heard

(when a MIDI instrument is connected)

No sound is heard when the keyboard is played

Not all played notes are sounded

Is the volume level of the RG-3M (p. 20) or connected device turned all the way down?

Are headphones plugged in? (p. 21) Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack?

When headphones or plugs are connected, the keyboard’s speakers stop playing.

Could the keyboard volume be turned down completely in the volume balance settings?

(p. 74)

Could the levels of all frequency ranges be turned down completely in the equalizer settings?

(p. 62)

Is V-LINK switched on? While V-LINK is switched on, no sound is produced when you press

any of the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard (p. 98).

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? (p. 104)

Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 106)

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 (p. 107).

The maximum number of notes can play simultaneously is 128.

Frequent use of the damper pedal during playing along with a song may result in performance data with too many notes, causing some notes to drop out.

The sound is strange

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

The tuning or pitch of the keyboard or song is off

Reverberation still audible even with Reverb turned off

Do you have the Layer tone selected? (p. 56)

When the RG-3M is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local Off mode (p. 107).

Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.

Have you set transpose? (p. 37, p. 63)

Are the settings for the “Temperament” and “Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 67, p. 66)

Is the setting for the “Master Tune” correct? (p. 65)

Since the RG-3M’s piano sounds accurately reproduce the depth and reverberation of the original acoustic piano, you may find that reverberation is audible when the Key Off Resonance function is enabled. If you want to eliminate the reverberation, turn off the Key Off Resonance

function (p. 59).

RG-3M_e3.book 112 ページ 2008年3月25日 火曜日 午前10時1分

Troubleshooting

Case

In the upper range, the sound changes abruptly beyond a certain key

A High-pitched whine is produced

The bass range sounds odd, or there is a vibrating resonance

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 RG-3M, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Key Transpose setting.

When listening through headphones:

Some of the more flamboyant and effervescent piano tones feature an ample high-end component, which may make the sound appear to have metallic reverberation added.

Since this reverberation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb applied to the sound.

When listening through speakers:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the unit) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the RG-3M 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.

When listening through headphones:

Here, a different cause would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

Music Files That the RG-3M 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. Performance data is transmitted to the RG-3M 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.

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.

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 RG-3M allows you to use the following music files

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-3M come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

About the RG-3M Sound Generator

The RG-3M 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.

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). This product supports both the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be used to play back music files carrying either of these logos.

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.
