User manual ROLAND HP103

[. . . ] Owner's Manual Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP103. 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 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes. In addition, this instrument features a "Grand Sound" speaker system, and simulates the full, three-dimensional nature of a concert grand piano (Grand Space), which together help to deliver a sound with even greater clarity and power (Dynamic Emphasis). Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano This instrument features a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the touch of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in the upper register. The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances to be expressed.

Changing Various Settings Changing the Damper Pedal's Resonance On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the HP103 recreates this resonance (damper resonance) when depressed. You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant sound (resonance level). This is set to "5" when the instrument is turned on. * This setting is enabled only with the piano tones. 37 Applying the damper pedal to the left-hand keyboard area p.
