Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the HP203. To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the HP203’s functionality, please read this owner’s manual carefully.

About the Manual

You should first read the “Before You Play” 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 HP203’s playback functions to more advanced operations, such as using the HP203 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. **).

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.

Introduction

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.

A compact cabinet that fits anywhere

The newly designed cabinet is compact and exudes a sense of quality befitting a musical instrument. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and does not occupy excessive space.

In addition to a sliding keyboard cover that will not rattle, there’s a convenient headphone hook for storing your headphones when not in use.

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 and printed piano music (sixty songs) are included, 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.

358

• Do not leave objects on top of the keyboard. This can cause malfunctions such as failure to sound.

359

• Do not affix adhesive labels to this device. The exterior finish may be damaged when you remove the labels.

Care

401b

• For everyday care, wipe with a soft dry cloth, or remove stubborn dirt using a tightly wrung-out cloth. If this device contains wooden components, wipe the entire area following the direction of the grain. The finish may be damaged if you continue strongly rubbing a single location.

Addition

• If water droplets should adhere to this device, immediately wipe them off using a soft dry cloth.

402

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, or alcohol, since these can cause deformation or color change.

403

• The pedals of this device are made of brass.

Brass has a natural tendency to oxidize and become tarnished.

If this occurs, use a commercially available metal polish.

Servicing

452

• If you return this device for servicing, the contents of memory may be lost. Please store important contents on

USB memory, or make a note of the contents. We take utmost care to preserve the contents of memory when performing service, but there may be cases when the stored content cannot be recovered because the memory section has malfunctioned. Please be aware that we cannot accept responsibility for the recovery of lost memory content or for any consequences of such loss.

560

• If using the music rest, do not apply excessive force to it.

562

• 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.

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.

Floppy Disk Handling

(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: 10–50 degrees C

(50–122 degrees 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.

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.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. The HP203 simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

You can modify the sound of the sympathetic

vibration. Refer to p. 70.

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.

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal

and the soft pedal. Refer to “Changing How the

Pedals Work (Center/Left Pedal Function)” (p. 67).

NOTE

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the HP203 while the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal cable while the HP203’s power is switched off.

Before You Play

About the Adjuster

If you feel that the pedal is unstable (for example if you’ve moved the HP203 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 HP203 on carpet, you must turn the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.

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.

fig.Panel-Transpose-e.eps

On the HP203, you can transpose the pitch of just the keyboard, or the pitch of the

keyboard and song together, or the pitch of just the song (Transpose Mode; p. 66).

When the HP203 is shipped from the factory, it is set so that the pitch of the keyboard

and song will be transposed together (“Changing the Key of the Song Playback

(Playback Transpose)” (p. 47)).

Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the key corresponding to the tonic of the desired key. (In this case, the note will not sound.)

The Key Transpose setting value continues to appear in the display while the [Transpose] button is held down.

You can also adjust this setting by holding down the [Transpose] button and using the [-]

[+] buttons.

The available range is -6–0–5 (semitone steps).

If this is set to a value other than 0, the [Transpose] button will light.

If the transpose value is not “0,” you can use the [Transpose] button to turn the Transpose function on/off.

When you release the [Transpose] button, you return to the previous screen.

NOTE

By holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing both the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting returns to its original value (0).

If you set Transpose Mode (p. 66) to “-S-” (Song playback), the Key Transpose function

will not be applied.

Example: Playing a Song in the Key of E Major After Transposition to C Major

Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E key (since E is the tonic).

Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.

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.

1.

Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [3D] button.

The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function mode.

3.

Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the setting.

Setting

Explanation

This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard. Higher settings will produce slower response.

If this is OFF, the sound will be heard as soon as you strike the key, regardless of how strongly you strike it.

Tuning Settings

Matching the Pitch with Other

Instruments (Master Tuning)

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.”

1.

Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [3D] button.

The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function mode.

2.

Press the [Piano] button.

The display will indicate “tun” and then the value of the setting will appear.

3.

Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the setting.

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original 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.

1.

Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [3D] button.

The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function mode.

2.

Press the [E. Piano] button.

The display will indicate “tnP” and then the value of the setting will appear.

3.

Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the setting.

The last three digits are indicated in the display. “440.0

Hz” is indicated in the figure above.

Settings

15.3 Hz–40.0 Hz–66.2 Hz

(415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz)

When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to “40.0 (440.0 Hz).”

Temperament Tonic

You can choose from among the eight tunings described below.

Setting Temperament

Equal

Just (Major)

Just (Minor)

Arabic

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.

Werkmeister

Qualities

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 thirdinterval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

This temperament combines the

Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (first technique, III).

Specifying the Tonic

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.

4.

While holding down the [E. Piano] button, press the [-] button or [+] button to select the tonic note.

Stretched 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.”

1.

Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [3D] button.

The display will indicate “Fnc” and you’ll be in Function mode.

Setting Explanation

This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances such as piano solos.

This is the standard tuning curve. This is suitable for

when using Dual performance (p. 33) or when

playing in an ensemble with other instruments.

Connecting to Other Devices

Connecting to 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 HP203 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the HP203 to an external device for even greater versatility.

Connecting to Other Devices

Connecting a Computer

The following become possible once you connect a USB cable

(available separately) between the USB (MIDI) connector located to the lower left of the front of the HP203 and the USB connector of your computer.

• You can use the HP203 to play sounds from SMF music files played back with MIDI software.

• By exchanging MIDI data with sequencer software, you can save songs recorded with the HP203 to your computer, and enjoy a variety of musical control and editing features.

Connect the HP203 to your computer as shown below.

If connection to your computer is unsuccessful...

Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect the HP203 to your computer. However, if some problem occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the Roland original driver may solve the problem.

For details on downloading and installing the Roland original driver, refer to the Roland website.

Roland website: http://www.roland.com/

Specify the USB driver you want to use, and then install the

driver. For details, refer to “Changing the USB Driver Settings

(USB Driver)” (p. 76).

Troubleshooting

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

Symptom

Power does not turn on

Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”

Unable to read from/write to USB memory

Cause/Action

Is the power cord connected correctly?

Is the pedal connected correctly?

Plug the cable firmly into the pedal connector.

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the HP203 while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuck” in the On condition.

You must power-off the HP203 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 to “Mode 1.”

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.

“Buzz” is heard from external devices

Device connected to the Input jacks have insufficient volume

No sound

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

No sound (when a MIDI device is connected)

Not all the notes you play are sounded

Could the HP203’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 back a song. 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 back a song. 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.

Are all devices powered on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Do the MIDI channels of the HP203 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 HP203 is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum polyphony, meaning that some of the notes will drop out.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Notes don’t sound right

Cause/Action

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

High-pitched ringing is heard

Could you have made Key Transpose settings?

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?

Is the setting for the Temperament correct?

Is the HP203 in Dual performance?

When the HP203 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 HP203’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. HP203 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the HP203, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.

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.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause/Action

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the HP203 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.

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

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.

Song does not play correctly

Song won’t play

Only the sound of a particular instrument in a song does not play

Can’t play back a song saved in

USB memory

Song tempo becomes unstable

Could the screen be indicating “dEL”?

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.

Audio files of the following format can be played back.

• File extension “.WAV”

• 16-bit linear

• “44.1 kHz” sampling rate

Is the filename extension “MID”?

Files with other filename extensions cannot be handled as song data.

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

Can’t record / play back

Can’t record

Has one of the track buttons for recording been selected?

The recorded performance disappeared

Your recorded performance will disappear if you switch off the HP203’s power or select a song.

There is no way to recover the lost performance. Before you turn off the power, save your recorded performance in internal Memory.

Music Files That the HP203 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 HP203 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 (HP203) 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.

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.
