INTRODUCTION

Thank

you,

and

congratulations

on

your

choice

of

the

Roland

HP

3800G/2800G

Digital

Piano.

The

HP

3800G/28U00G

offers

extremely

realistic-sounding

piano

performances

thanks

to

its

high-quality

concert

grand

piano

sounds

and

hammer-action

keyboard.

But

it

also

allows

you

to

branch

out

and

accommodate

almost

any

other

kind

of

music,

since

it

is

also

stocked

with

a

wide

variety

of

instrument

sounds

other

than

piano.

Additionally,

the

instrument

comes

equipped

with

its

own

five-track

sequencer

(the

“Piano

Partner’)

that

is

as

easy

to

use

as

any

ordinary

tape

recorder.

By

using

the

50

sample

songs

included

inside,

along

with

the

“minus

one”

feature,

you

can

enjoy

innumerable

hours

of

effective

practice,

or

have

fun

play-

ing

while

the

sequencer

provides

the

backing

instruments.

Further,

thanks

to

the

instrument's

disk

drive,

you

can

also

include

any

of

the

many

commercially

available

music

data

disks

as

part

of

your

lesson

plans.

In

order

to

enjoy

to

the

full

all

the

features

that

have been

made

available,

and

be

assured

of

trouble-free

service

for

many

years

to

come.

System

GENERAL

The

General

MIDI

System

is

a

set

of

recommendations

which

seek

to

provide

a

way

for

going

beyond

|

the

limitations

of

proprietary

designs,

and

standardize

the

MIDI

capabilities

provided

by

sound

generat-

——

ing

devices.

If

you

use

a

sound

generating

unit

which

carries

the

logo,

you

will

be

able

to

faithfully

reproduce

any

song

data

which

also

carries

Format

The

GS

Format

is

Roland's

universal

set

of

specifications

which

were

formulated

in

the

interest

of

stan-

dardizing

the

way

in

which

sound

generating

devices

will

operate

when

MIDI

is

used

for

the

perfor-

mance

of

music.

If

you

use

you

will

be

IMPORTANT

NOTES

The

HP

3800G/2800G

uses

3.5-inch

2DD

or

2HD

flop-

py

disks

(sometimes

called

“microfloppies”).

They

are

used

to

store

the

song

you

record

on

the

HP

3800G/2800G.

*

Please

use

2HD

disks

whenever

possible.

This

is

because

the

data

access

speed

of

a

2DD

disk

is

some-

what

slower

than

that

of

a

2HD,

and

this

may

on

rare

occasions

cause

playback

errors.

And

song

selecton

or

position displays

may

be

delayed

slightly.
