INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Thank

you,

and

congratulations

on

your

choice

of

the

Roland

KR-3500.

The

KR-3500

is

a

keyboard

instrument

which

is

based

on

the

same

digital

piano

technology

for

which

Roland

has

been

renowned

ever

since

it

developed

the

world’s

first

electronic

piano.

Moreover,

thanks

to

its

Arranger

feature,

which

can

create

positively

amazing

automatic

accompaniment,

it

represents

a

truly

new

concept

in

electronic

keyboard

instruments.

The

keyboard

is

excellent

in

terms

of

comfort

and

responsiveness,

features

which

are

especially

valuable

during

long

sessions.

It

truly

represents

the

successful

culmination

of

efforts

toward

duplicating

the

feel

of

an

acoustic

piano.

The

keyboard

is

also

ready

for

any

type

of

solo

performance,

responding

to

a

wide

variety

of

nuances

and

dynamics.

In

addition,

the

Arranger

feature

will

allow

you

to

become

a

one-person-band,

thanks

to

automatic

accompaniment

employing

a

collection

of

Music

Styles,

which

represent

music

from

all

over

the

world.

Also

included

is

a

Composer

section,

which

not

only

provides

four

tracks

for

recording

and

playback

of

the

music

you

play.

The

KR-3500

thus

combines

a

full

range

of

advanced

features

with

an

operational

ease

that

was

designed

from

a

piano

player’s

point

of

view.

It

is

sure

to

please

everyone,

from

those

starting

their

first

lessons,

to

seasoned

professionals.

In

order

to

enjoy

reliable

performance

for

many

years

to

come,

please

take

the

time

to

read

this

manual

in

its

entirety.

FEATURES

@

Realistic

Instrument

Sounds

With

40

different

types

of

high

quality,

authentic

sounds,

the

instrument

can

fit

in

readily

with

any

genre

of

music.

Additionally,

using

the

Tone

Expansion

Mode,

the

number

of

sounds

put

at

your

fingertips

can

be

increased

to

128.

Moreover,

a

selection

of

sounds

other

than

instrument

sounds

can

also

be

played

from

the

keyboard,

including

61

percussive

sounds,

and

46

special

effects

sounds

(laughing

voices,

applause,

sirens,

etc.).

The

ordering

and

the

settings

for

all

of

the

instrument

sounds

can,

of

course,

be

set

to

conform

to

the

GS

Format.

@

Music

Styles

:

Music

from

Around

the

World

The

instrument

provides

a

collection

of

32

Music

Styles,

containing

the

essential

elements

of

a

wide

range

of

musical

styles

from

around

the

world,

including

ethnic

music

as

well

as

the

hottest

new

popular

styles.

(To

ensure

that

these

styles

are

authentic,

they

were

produced

in

the

country

or

region

where

the

style

originates,

whenever

feasible.)

Moreover,

by

employing

the

Music

Style

Expansion

Made,

you

can

select

from

64

Music

Styles.

(Of

these,

there

are

8

which

are

beautifully

simple,

and

work

very

well

as

backing

for

piano

pieces.)

Additionally,

simply

by

inserting

optionally

available

Music

Style

Cards

or

Music

Style

Super

Cards,

you

can

further

your

potential

for

playing

almost

any

type

of

music

imaginable.

@

quipped

with

an

“Arranger”

for

the

Best

in

Automatic

Accompaniment

The

Arranger

feature

automatically

produces

the

appropriate

musical

accompaniment

based

on

the

selected

Music

Style

and

specified

chord

progression.

Alternate

patterns

for

an

accompaniment

can

be

easily

obtained

by

pressing

the

Intro,

Ending,

Fill-In,

or

Break

pattern

buttons.

Moreover,

the

result

obtained

will

change

depending

on

the

chord

progression

that

has

been

played,

so

with

a

little

imagina-

tion,

a

single

Music

Style

can

provide

a

great

deal

of

variety.

INTRODUCTION

@

The

Arranger

Accommodates

Traditional

Piano

Playing

Styles

The

automatic

accompaniment

that

has

been

provided

by

other

keyboards

divided

the

keyboard

into

a

melody

(upper)

section,

and

an

accompaniment

(lower)

section.

All

chords

could

only

be

played

in

the

accompaniment

section.

The

Arranger

on

the

KR-3500,

however,

no

longer

requires

that

the

keyboard

be

divided

in

such

a

manner,

and

chords

can

be

selected

from

anywhere

on

the

keyboard.

It

thus

allows

for

performances

which

conform

more

closely

to

the

traditional

playing

style

of

the

piano.

@

Leading

Bass

Feature

Accommodates

Inverted

Chords

Using

the

Leading

Bass

Feature,

the

lowest

note

of

an

inverted

chord

can

be

recognized

as

the

bass

note

by

the

Arranger

when

playing

chords

for

automatic

accompaniment.

Once

you

store

a

of

for

sounds,

Music

Styles,

or

how

the

Arranger

is

to

be

used,

they

can

be

instantly

recalled

simply

by

pressing

a

button.

Up

five

such

@

The

Composer

Provides

for

Recording

and

Playback

The

onboard

Composer

is

a

full-featured,

4

track

music

sequencer,

and you

can

store

your

performance

data

on

Memory

Cards.

In

addition

to

the

basic

features

of

recording

and

playback

of

music

you

play,

it

also

allows

you

to

use

the

Arranger

to

first

record

an

accompaniment

part,

and

then

have

that

played

back

while

you

play

the

melody.

The

results

you

can

obtain

are

much

like

what

is

obtained

when

using

a

multi-track

recorder.
