Session Partner function
The EM-55 OR’s new Session Partner concept enco -
passes three functions: you can switch on/ ute the
Arranger’s acco pani ent parts; you can select fro
a ong 8 phrase patterns to be played either in isola-
tion or together with the selected Music Style; or you
can use the eight Session Partner buttons DJ style: to

selected acco pani ent parts of one Style with the
parts fro another Style.
The Orchestrator function, on the other hand, allows
you to si plify, add, or leave out acco pani ent
parts of the selected Music Style. This intuitive way of
controlling the arrange ents of your acco pani-
ents is a wonderful assistant for creating just the
right at osphere for the usic you play.

device that will generate line noise (such as an electric otor or
variable lighting syste ).
• Be sure to only use the supplied adapter (Roland ACJ). The use of
other adapters ay da aged your EM-55 OR.
• Before connecting the EM-55 OR to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. This will help prevent alfunctions and/or da -
age to speakers or other devices.
Placement
• Using the EM-55 OR near power a plifiers (or other equip ent
containing large power transfor ers) ay induce hu . To alleviate
the proble , change the orientation of this instru ent or ove it
farther away fro the source of interference.
• This instru ent ay interfere with radio and television reception.
Do not use it in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Do not expose the EM-55 OR to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to te perature extre es. Excessive heat can
defor or discolor the instru ent.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the EM-55 OR with a soft, dry cloth or
one that has been slightly da pened with water. To re ove stub-
born dirt, use a ild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure
to wipe the instru ent thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor ation.
Repairs and data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the instru ent’s e -
ory ay be lost when it is sent for repairs. In certain cases (such as
when circuitry related to e ory itself is out of order), we regret
that it ay not be possible to restore the data. Roland assu es no
liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional precautions
• Please be aware that the e ory contents can be irretrievably lost
as a result of a alfunction, or the i proper operation of the
instru ent.
• Use a reasonable a ount of care when using the instru ent’s but-
tons, other controls, and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can
lead to alfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or da age to the cable’s internal ele ents.
• A s all a ount of heat will radiate fro the instru ent during
nor al operation. This is perfectly nor al.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the instru ent’s
volu e at reasonable levels. You ay prefer to use headphones, so
you do not need to be concerned about those around you (espe-
cially late at night).
• When you need to transport the instru ent, package it in the box
(including padding) that it ca e in. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging aterials, or a flightcase.
Handling floppy disks
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin agnetic coating.
Microscopic precision is required to enable storage of large
a ounts of data on such a s all surface area. To preserve their
integrity, please observe the following when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the agnetic ediu inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to te perature extre es (e.g., direct
sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Reco ended te perature
range: 10° to 50°C (50 to 122°F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong agnetic fields, such as those
generated by loudspeakers.
• Floppy disks have a “WRITE” tab which can protect the disk fro
accidental erasure. It is reco ended that the tab be kept in the
PROTECT position, and oved to the WRITE position only when
you wish to write new data onto the disk.
• Disks containing i portant perfor ance data for this instru ent
should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the
PROTECT position) before you insert the into the drive of another
instru ent.
• The identification label should be fir ly affixed to the disk. If the
label co es loose while the disk is in the drive, it ay be difficult
to re ove the disk.
• Put the disk back into its case for storage.

The DJ PAD function allows you to start and
stop eight different phrases of a selected Music
Style by pressing buttons, rather than playing on
the keyboard.
After starting a phrase, you can change its key
by playing the corresponding chord in the left
half of the keyboard. This would allow you to
create entire songs. You can even record the
usic you create using the DJ Pad function.
Oh… and one last thing: it is perfectly possible

Let us now take advantage of the EM-55 OR’s accompaniment function. This function is called “ Arranger ”.
Starting/stopping the Arranger
(1) Press the KBD MODE [ARRANGER] button
(its indicator lights).
The keyboard is split into two halves. The
keys you press in the left half are used to
specify the key of the acco pani ent. The
right half of the keyboard allows you to
play a tune to the acco pani ent.
At power-on, the EM-55 OR auto atically
selects the “A2 TwoStep” Style.
(2) Press the [START/STOP] button to start
Arranger playback.
Note: If the [ARRANGER] indicator lights, playing
in the left half of the keyboard while the Arranger is
stopped, will sound an electric piano and bass Tone.
The left half of the keyboard is thus not uted (like
on previous Roland arranger instru ents). This can
be switched off, however (see “Bs Chord (left-hand
strings + bass)” on page 45).
(3) Play a chord (or just one note) with your
left hand.
(4) Play another chord (or note) to change
the Arranger’s key.
(5) Press the following buttons to use other
patterns of the currently selected Music
Style:
These buttons select Music Style “patterns”.
The indicator of the button you press lights.
Also, the ARRANGER CHORD field indicates
which chord you played last. This chord is
used by the acco pani ent.
As soon as you feel co fortable with the
Arranger, you should try to play a elody
with your right hand while using your left
for selecting Arranger chords.

Style selection via EZ Search
Another easy way of selecting Music Styles goes
like this:
(1) Press the [EZ SEARCH] button (indicator
lights).
The display now shows the nu ber and
na e of the currently selected Music Style.
(2) Look at the STYLE list in the upper left
part of the front panel to select a Style
bank, then press the BANK/NUMBER but-
ton that corresponds to that bank.
Exa ple: to select a Music Style fro the
Saidi bank, press [2].
(3) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select the
desired Music Style from that bank.
After selecting bank 2, that would be:
SaidiMsh, SaidiMdn, Saidi-M1, Saidi-M2,
Saidi-M3, Saidi-Eg, Saidi/L, Shaeri 1.
Note: EZ Search only works for the “A” group (the
Styles in the EM-55 OR’s internal e ory).
Working with Music Styles on a floppy disk
Your EM-55 OR comes with two floppy disks, one of which contains 64 additional Music Styles for the
Disk Link function. (The other floppy disk contains additional Styles that you can load via STYLE DISK.)
Using those is just as easy as working with the internal Styles – and loading them from floppy is just as
quick. This function is called “Disk Link”.
The Music Style referenced by the Disk Link
e ory you select is auto atically loaded fro
disk and copied to the Style Disk e ory (see
also p. 28).
(1) Insert the “Disk Link” floppy disk into the
drive (front panel, below the keyboard).
(2) Press the [STYLE] button.
(3) Press the [A/B] button to select Group B
(the B appears in the upper left-hand cor-
ner of the display).
(4) Use the numeric keypad to select the
desired Music Style bank (1~8).
(5) Use the numeric keypad to select a Music
Style memory of that bank (x1~x8).
Note: You can also assign other Styles to the Music
Style e ories of group b (see p. 29).
Note: The EM-55 OR does not store the Music
Styles for group b. You need to insert the (correct)
floppy disk into the drive each ti e you wish to use
those Styles.
Selecting sounds for the right hand
Do the following if you wish to assign a different sound to your (right-hand) melody playing:
(1) Press the [TONE] button.
The [TONE] icon appears in the display. You
can now select Tones. There are two ways to
select Tones on the EM-55 OR.
In this exa ple, we will select the Tone
“A131 Oud 2”.
(2) Press the [A/B] button to select the Tone
group.
The “Oud 2” Tone belongs to the “TONE A”
group. You therefore need to press [A/B]
once or twice to ake the display read a.
Note: This is only necessary if the currently
selected Tone belongs to the A group.
Note: The na e (“Piano 2” in the illustration) still
refers to the previously selected Tone.

(3) Press the numeric button [1] to select
bank “1”.
Note: The na e (“Piano 2” in the illustration) still
refers to the previously selected Tone.
(4) Press the numeric button [3] to select the
“Oud 2” Tone.
Notice how the Tone na e in the display
changes. If you now play in the right half of
the keyboard, you will hear the “Oud 2”
Tone.
Note: See p. 30 for how to select Tone Variations.
Note: You can also press [TONE] repeatedly to scroll
through all available Tones (excluding the Varia-
tions).
Note: In any cases, the EM-55 OR does not select
exactly the Tone you asked for, but an even better
one. See p. 30 for details.
Tone selection via EZ Search
Your EM-55 OR contains ,60 western Tones (or sounds) plus 48 oriental ones, which means that you
have plenty of options – but it also means that you may have to spend several minutes before locating
the desired Tone.
One way of doing that is by looking at the list on p. 61 and then entering the number via the BANK/
NUMBER pad. Another, more intuitive, approach is this:
(1) Press the [TONE] button. The [TONE] icon
now appears in the display.
(2) Press the [EZ SEARCH] button (indicator
lights).
The display now shows the nu ber and
na e of the currently selected Tone.
(3) Look at the TONE list in the upper left
part of the front panel to select a Tone
bank (there are 1 banks), then press the
[A/B] and a number button [1]~[8] to
select that bank.
Exa ple: if you need an Organ sound, select
A and then press [3]. To be able to select
solo synthesizer sound, press [A/B] to select
group b, the press [3].
(4) Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select the
desired Tone from that bank.
You can now only select Tones that belong
to the bank (and group) you selected above.
This is very convenient for trying out differ-
ent alternatives.
Note: It is also possible to use several sounds at a
ti e. See pages 19 and 30.
Note: EZ Search also provides access to Tones that
cannot be selected via the BANK/NUMBER keypad.
(The keypad allows you to select up fro a ong
1616 Tones.) Those additional Tones cannot be
selected via SysEx.
