* In order to use audio recording, you must connect a USB ash drive (sold separately) to the USB memory port (p. 10).

* SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music le that was formulated so that les containing music le 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 Recording

Tuning (*1)

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 nger the middle A key (A4). 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.”

415.3–440.0–466.2 Hz

Temprmnt (*1)

Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)

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.

Screen Explanation Qualities

EQU Equal

In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of

slight dissonance.

MAJ Just Major

This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be

transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.

MIN Just Minor

The Just tunings dier from major and minor keys. You can get the same eect with the minor scale as with the major

scale.

PYTH Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths.

Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

KIRN Kirnberger

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).

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

WERC Werckmeister

This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (rst

technique, III).

ARB Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

Tmpr Key (*1)

Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament Key)

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key 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 temperament key.

VC Mode

Controlling Video Equipment (Visual Control Mode)

Visual Control is a function that lets you control images along with your performance. If you’ve set Visual Control mode to MVC or VLNK, playing the

keyboard of unit will control the images produced by the Visual Control device connected to unit using a USB cable.

OFF Visual Control is o.

MVC MIDI Visual Control mode is selected.

VLNK V-LINK mode is selected.

Specifying the Visual Control Channel

Here’s how to specify the channel on which messages used to control video will be sent.

1–16 Species the MIDI channel used to transmit MIDI messages to the Visual Control device.

What is MIDI Visual Control?

MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specication so that visual

expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be

connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.

What is V-LINK?

V-LINK is Roland’s proprietary specication that allows visual expression to be linked with musical performance.

Video equipment that is compatible with V-LINK can be connected to electronic musical instruments, making it easy

to enjoy a variety of visual eects that are linked with the performance.

Connection examples

Connect a USB cable from this unit’s USB port (p. 10) to the USB port of your Visual Control compatible device.

* You’ll need a commercially available USB cable in order to connect this unit to a device that supports Visual Control.

Symptom Cause/Action Page

Even though you’re using head-

phones and the sound is muted,

a thumping sound is heard when

you play the keyboard

The unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For

this reason, you’ll hear the hammers thump when you play the keyboard, just as you would when playing an acoustic piano.

Since this unit allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound of the hammers in certain situations, but this does

not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the oor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration

by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with

pianos.

–

Power turns o on its own

When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this unit, the power will turn o automatically. (This is the

factory setting).

If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the “Auto O” setting “OFF.”

p. 39

Power does not turn on

Could the power have been turned o by the auto-o function?

If you want to turn on the power after the auto-o function has turned it o, operate the [Power] switch to turn the power on

again.

p. 39

Nothing appears in the display

Since the unit uses a liquid-crystal display, you may nd that it is unable to display letters or other things in environments where

temperatures go below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

p. 63

If you disconnect the pedal cord from the unit while the power is on, the pedal eect may remain “stuck” in the On condition.

You must power-o the unit before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord.

p. 63

Could you have changed how the pedal eect is applied?

If the damper pedal part is set to “R,” the pedal will apply only to the right tone; if it is set to “L,” the pedal will apply only to the left

tone.

p. 48

incorrect

Could you have made Transpose settings?

p. 21

p. 35

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? p. 46

Is the setting for the Temperament correct? p. 46

If stretch tuning is “ON,” the piano will be tuned in a unique way; notes in the piano’s upper range will be tuned slightly sharper,

while notes in the lower range will be tuned slightly lower. For this reason, certain pitches may seem to be o, but this is actually

the way that an acoustic piano should sound.

p. 47

Not all the notes you play are

sounded

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you’re using Dual Play, or playing along with a song, or making heavy

use of the damper pedal, the number of notes being requested by the performance data may exceed the maximum available

polyphony, causing notes to drop out.

–

Sounds are heard twice (doubled)

when the keyboard is played

Is the unit in Dual play? p. 15

When the unit is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to o. Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its

Soft Thru feature is O.

p. 48

E ect does not apply

When you are using Dual play or Split play, and dierent eects are specied for the two selected tones, the eect will not be

applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split play).

–

Reverberation remains even if You

defeat the Ambience e ect

The unit’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 Ambience eect.

Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for “Cabinet Resonance.”

p. 47

The sound of the higher notes

suddenly changes from a certain

key

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 dierent tonal character. The unit faithfully simulate this

characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the unit, the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change according to the key

transpose setting.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Cause/Action Page

High-pitched ringing is heard

If you hear this in headphones:

Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may sound as though

a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully reproduced, and is not a

malfunction.

This sound can be adjusted by modifying the following settings.

• String Resonance (p. 47)

• Ambience (p. 18)

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.

–

Low notes sound wrong, or are

buzzy

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.

–

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the unit 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 (4–6 inch) 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet

that is being used by an electrical appliance that

is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a

refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or

air conditioner). 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 lter

between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after

long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is

not a cause for concern.

• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,

always make sure to turn o the power on all your

equipment before you make any connections.

• With the factory settings, the unit will automatically

be switched o 30 minutes after you stop playing

or operating the unit. If the unit’s power has been

turned o automatically, you can use the [Power]

switch to turn the unit back on again. If you don’t

want the unit to turn o automatically, change the

“Auto O” setting to “O” as described on “Making

the Power Automatically Turn O After a Time (Auto

O)” (p. 39).

NOTE

The settings you were editing will be lost when the

unit is turned o. If you want to keep your settings,

you must save your settings before turning the unit

o.

Placement

• Using the unit near power ampliers (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.

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of

such receivers.

• 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 o.

• 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.

• When moved from one location to another where

the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,

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.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to

remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such

objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect

the nish.

• 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.

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

instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument

may damage the exterior nish.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the

surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet

may discolor or mar the surface.

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the

rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you

do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or

move accidentally.

• Do not put anything that contains water on this unit.

Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol,

nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly

wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a

dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that

is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface

using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth

along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard

in the same area can damage the nish.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of

any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration

and/or deformation.

Since wood will expand and contract depending

on how it is used and the environment in which it is

located, products made of wood may experience a

gradual loosening of the screws over time.

To ensure that your piano remains in safe, optimal

condition, you should regularly check the tightness of

the screws in the locations shown in the illustration. If

you nd that any screws are loose, use a screwdriver to

tighten them.

Maintenance of polished-nish pianos

(Only for DP90Se)

• Since your piano has a polished nish that is as

delicate as that found on nely 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.

• About piano polishing liquid

• Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions

for the product.

• Use only polishing liquid that is intended for use on

polished-nish pianos. Using any other polishing

liquid may cause scratches, deformation, or

discoloration. To purchase polishing liquid, contact

your nearby musical instrument dealer.

• Use the polishing liquid only on the polished

surfaces of the cabinet. Always wipe the surface

with the grain using straight, even strokes. Do

not repeatedly wipe the same places using too

much pressure, since that might result in the loss

of luster.

• Be sure to keep the polishing liquid out of the

reach of small children. If the polishing liquid is

accidentally swallowed, rst get them to vomit,

then take them to a doctor.

Repairs and Data

• 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 ash drives, 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.

Additional Precautions

• 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 ash drive.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore

the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s

memory, USB ash drives once it has been lost.

Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning

such loss of data.

• 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.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• When 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.

• To avoid disturbing others nearby, 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.

• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations

produced by playing an instrument can be

transmitted through a oor or wall to an unexpected

extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to

others nearby.

• When you need to transport the unit, package it

in the box (including padding) that it came in, if

possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent

packaging materials.

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it

is in use.

• 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 specications, contact

the manufacturer of the cable.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• When opening/closing the lid or raising/folding

down the music rest, please be careful not to get

your ngers pinched between the movable part and

the panel. In places where small children are present,

make sure that an adult provides supervision and

guidance.

Before Using External Memories

Features of an ivory feel keyboard

Traditional piano keys are made from the best materials-ivory (for

white keys) and ebony (for black keys). The Ivory Feel keyboard uses

the latest in technology to reproduce the touch and feel of these

materials.

An Ivory Feel keyboard oers the following features.

• We’re sure you’ll develop a fondness for the distinctive texture of

these keys, which feels better the more you play them.

• Surfaces incorporate stripes of moisture-absorbing material for

improved touch and playability.

• The keys feature subtle gloss and understated coloring,

enhancing the look and elegance.

• The white keys are nished with a slight yellowish tinge for the

look of real ivory.

Handling

• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement,

and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink

will seep into the surface lines and become unremovable.

• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to

remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive

may cause discoloration.

Care and maintenance

Please note the following points. Failure to do so may result

in scratches on the surface nish, damaged gloss, or other

discoloration or deformation.

• To remove dirt, use a soft cloth.

Using a moistened and tightly wrung-out cloth, gently wipe o

any dirt.

Do not rub the surface vigorously.

• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard

cleaner that does not contain abrasives.
