Thank

you

for

purchasing

the

HP-1700L/1700/900L/900

Roland

Digital

Piano.

As

a

further

refine-

ment

of

the

SA

sound

technology

found

on

instruments,

the

HP-1700L/1700/

900L/900

are

based

on

an

Advanced

SA

sound

process

which

faithfully

and

realistically

repro-

duces

the

deep

lows

and

clear

highs

of

a

concert

grand

piano.

The

highly

expressive

keyboard

gives

you

complete

control

over

dynamics

from

ppp

to

fff.

The

HP-1700L/1700/900L/900

are

economical

and

trouble-free

digital

instruments,

built

into

a

compact

package

that

allows

you

to

enjoy

superb

piano

sound

anywhere.

In

order

to

lake

full

advantage

of

the

wealth

of

features

that

have

been

made

available,

please

take

the

time

to

read

this

manual

in

its

entirety.

Advanced

SA

sound

process

Faithful

reproduction

of

acoustic

piano

sounds

is

not

an

easy

task,

but

Roland

Digital

Pianos

reproduce

the

wide

dynamic

range,

expressive

nuances,

and

subtleties

of

hammer-strike

and

resonance

of

a

concert

grand

piano

with

un-

canny

realism.

The

secret

is

"Advanced

SA

(

Structured

Adaptive

)

Synthesis".

In

SA

synthesis

—

a

Roland

world's

first

—,

the

elements

of

a

grand

piano

sound

are

extracted,

analyzed,

and

re-synthesized

to

re-create

the

original

sound.

Advanced

SA

technology

is

a

further

refinement

of

this

process,

using

Roland's

proprietary

digital

signal

processing

and

sound

generation

technology

to

achieve

amazingly

realistic

and

lifelike

piano

sounds.

FEATURES

__

@

The

quality

finish

brings

out

the

natural

grain

of

the

wood.

The

HP-1700L

and

HP-900L

feature

a

smooth-sliding

keyboard

cover.

The

compact

design

is

especially

convenient

when

it

comes

time

to

transport

the

instru-

ment.

Piano

tuning

is

never

required,

mean-

ing

that

the

cost

of

upkeep

is

zero.

Five

high-quality

sounds

are

built

in,

includ-

ing

a

rich

grand

piano,

a

classic

harpsichord,

a

vibraphone

that

is

perfect

for

jazz,

and

an

electric

piano

for

pop

or

fusion.

The

Rotary

Oil

Damped

mechanism

provides

quick

and

sensitive

response

to

repeated

notes,

and

comes

extremely

close

to

dup-

licating

the

feel

of

a

concert

grand

piano.

Playing

strength

allows

complete

control

over

tonal

nuances

for

expressive

perfor-

mances.

To

match

personal

preferences,

you

can

set

the

keyboard

touch

response

to

one

of

three

settings:

heavy/standard/light.

The

Sympathetic

Resonance

feature

simu-

lates

the

natural

resonance

that

occurs

bet-

ween

strings

when

the

damper

pedal

of

an

acoustic

piano

is

depressed.

Q

The

stereo

position

of

each

note

is

located

where

it

would

naturally

occur,

with

lower

notes

toward

the

left,

and

higher

notes

to-

ward

the

right,

simulating

the

natural

sound

field.

Two

stereo

digital

effect

units

are

built

in;

chorus

for

enriching

the

sound,

and

reverb

for

adding

the

acoustic

ambience

of

a

concert

hall.

The

Key

Transpose

function

allows

you

to

transpose

the

pitch

to

any

interval;

for

exam-

ple,

letting

you

play

that

tricky

D-flat

piece

using

the

fingering

of

the

C

major

scale.

The

Recorder

function

lets

you

record

and

playback

your

performances

just

as

easily

as

with

a

tape

recorder.

Line

input

jacks

and

MIDI

connectors

are

provided,

allowing

you

to

connect

other

audio

equipment

or

MIDI

devices

(such

as

ISM

products).

Since

the

sound

source

of

the

HP-1700L/1700/900L/900

is

multi-timbral,

you

can

even

connect

a

sequencer

to

enjoy

multi-timbral

playback.

this

manual

This

manual

is

intended

especially

for

those

If

you

are

already

familiar

with

pianos,

it

may

not

be

necessary

for

Getting

explain

basic

operation.

If

for

the

first

time,

be

sure

to

read

this

section

first.

Turn

the

power

on

Press

the

power

switch

(POWER).

In

a

few

seconds,

the

unit

will

be

ready

to

produce

sound.

A

muting

circuit

will

operate

for

approximately

2

seconds

after

the

power

is

turned

on,

so

there

will

be

no

sound

during

this

time.

Play

the

keyboard

and you

will

hear

the

grand

piano

sound

(PIANO1).

Notice

that

your

playing

dynamics

cause

natural

changes

in

timbre

and

volume.

Adjust

the

volume

Use

the

volume

(VOLUME)

to

adjust

the

volume

to

a

Listen

carefully

to

the

sound

you

play,

and

notice

which

direction

it

comes

from.

(To

hear

the

effect

most

clearly,

play

a

single

note

rather

than

a

chord.)

Notice

that

the

sound

of

lower

notes

is

heard

more

from

the

left

side

(see

Fig.

1),

and

the

sound

of

higher

notes

is

heard

more

from

the

right

side

(see

Fig.

2).

This

is

because

each

note

has

been

panned

to

the

same

stereo

location

(between

the

left

and

right

speakers)

as

they

would

occur

on

an

acoustic

piano.

This

stereo

panning

effect

adds

to

the

realism

of

the

soundfield.

Headphones

You

can

use

stereo

headphones

to

listen

while

you

play.

Insert

the

headphone

plug

into

the

headphone

jack

located

on

the

left

side

of

your

instrument.

This

will

turn

off

the

built-in

speakers,

you

Biography

of

Demo

Song's

Arranger

John

Maul

is

a

musician,

composer

and

arranger

having

graduated

from

the

Royal

Academy

of

Music

in

London.

John's

work

en-

compasses

studio

recordings

and

live

performances,

including

work

with

top

cabaret

artists

in

the

U.K.

His

writing

credits

include

commercial

music

for

radio

and

television,

as

well

as

scoring

jazz

and

classical

works.

As

a

product

specialist

for

Roland

U.K.,

john's

talents

are

well

utilized

in

the

preparation

of

support

material

for

educational

and

instructional

use.

Using

the

pedals

Two

pedals

are

installed

in

the

special

stand;

the

Damper

pedal

on

the

right,

and

the

Soft

pedal

on

the

left.

The

left

pedal

can

also

be

used

as

a

Sostenuto

pedal

(nor-

mally

it

functions

as

a

Soft

pedal).

It

is

not

possible

for

the

left

pedal

to

function

simul-

taneously

as

both

Soft

and

Sostenuto-pedals.

Right

Pedal

ssed,

notes

will

continue

to

decay

gradually

even

after

you

release

the

keys.

In

addi-

tion,

while

this

pedal

is

depressed,

notes

you

play

will

cause

other

notes

to

resonate

just

as

they

would

on

an

acoustic

piano.

This

effect

creates

a

richer

and

more

natural

sound

(the

Sympathetic

Resonance

effect).

The

Sympathetic

Resonance

effect

will

only

be

heard

when

one

of

the

piano

sounds

(PIANO

1/2)

is

selected.

However,

this

effect

may

be

unclear

when

the

reverb

is

on.

this

Using

the

Recorder

Function

The

built-in

recorder

function

lets

you

record

and

playback

a

performance.

During

playback,

you

can

play

along

if

desired.

This

is

convenient

for

playing

duets

by

yourself,

or

for

practicing.

Unlike

a

tape

recorder,

the

built-in

recorder

records

not

the

actual

sound,

but

rather

the

notes

you

play.

It

is

therefore

possible

to

select

a

different

tone

during

playback

of

your

recorded

performance.

To

guard

against

accidents,

the

recorded

notes

will

be

stored

for

approximately

8

hours

after

the

power

is

turned

off.

Although

the

recorded

notes

will

be

stored

for

a

time

after

the

power

is

turned

off,

they

will

eventually

disappear.

If

you

wish

to

preserve

your

performance,

you

will

need

to

con-

nect

an

external

sequencer

and

store

your

music

on

a

sequencer

disk.

Using

a

sequencer

O

will

allow

you

to

record

pieces

longer

than

would

fit

into

the

built-in

recorder

memory,

and

offers

other

advantages

as

well.
