With

the

KR-370's

easy-to-operate

keyboard

and

automatic

you

will

find

it

truly

enjoyable

to

play.

In

order

to

the

time

to

read

this

in

its

entirety.

the

creation

of

your

own

and

one

hundred

programmed

styles,

covering

a

wide

variety

of

musical

genres.

And

with

the

you

get

another

twenty

styles.

You

can

assemble

your

own

Styles

by

combining

individual

settings

of

preprogrammed

can

be

adjusted

and

combined.

Go

General

MIDI

System

The

General

MIDI

System

is a

set

of

recommendations

which

seeks

to

standardize

the

MIDI

support

features

of

sound

generating

devices.

Sound

generating

devices

and

musical

data

(disks)

carrying

the

General

MIDI

logo

conform

to

the

General

MIDI

specifications.

This

means

that

whenever

you

play

music

data

marked

with

the

General

MIDI

logo,

the

musical

response

will

be

identical

when

played

on

any

device

which

also

carries

the

General

MIDI

logo.

GS

Format

Roland

developed

the

GS

Format

to

standardize

the

response

of

sound

generators

when

MIDI

is

used

for

the

production

of

music.

By

using

a

GS

Format

sound

generating

device,

you

can

be

assured

that

you

will

always

obtain

a

faithful,

high-quality

rendition

of

any

commercially

available

music

data

that

carries

the

GS

Format

logo.

The

KR-370’s

sound

generator

fully

supports

both

the

General

MIDI

system

and

the

GS

Format—so

you

can use

music

data

that

is

designed

for

either

standard.

In

addition

to

the

items

listed

under

"IMPORTANT

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS"

and

“USING

THE

UNIT

SAFELY"

on

pages

p.2

and

p.3,

please

read

and

observe

the

following:

Power

Supply

*

Do

not

use

this

unit

on

the

same

power

circuit

with

any

device

that

will

generate

line

noise

(such

as

an

electric

motor

or

variable

lighting

system).

¢

Before

connecting

this

unit

to

other

devices,

turn

off

the

power

to

all

units.

This

will

help

prevent

malfunctions

and/or

damage

to

speakers

or

other

devices.

Placement

*

Using

the

unit

near

power

amplifiers

(or

other

equipment

containing

large

power

trans-

formers)

may

induce

hum.

To

alleviate

the

problem,

change

the

orientation

of

this

unit;

or

move

it

farther

away

from

the

source

of

interference.

*

This

device

may

interfere

with

radio

and

television

reception.

Do

not

use

this

device

in

the

vicinity

of

such

receivers.

*

Observe

the

following

when

using

the

unit's

floppy

disk

drive.

For

further

details,

refer

to

“Before

Using

Floppy

Disks"

(p.

8).

*

Do

not

place

the

unit

near

devices

that

produce

a

strong

magnetic

field

(e.g.,

loud-

speakers).

*

Install

the

unit

on

a

solid,

level

surface.

*

Do

not

move

the

unit

or

subject

it

to

vibration

while

the

drive

is

operating.

*

Do

not

expose

the

unit

to

direct

sunlight,

place

it

near

devices

that

radiate

heat,

leave

it

inside

an

enclosed

vehicle,

or

otherwise

subject

it

to

temperature

extremes.

Excessive

heat

can

deform

or

discolor

the

unit.

Maintenance

¢

For

everyday

cleaning

wipe

the

unit

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth

or

one

that

has

been

slightly

dampened

with

water.

To

remove

stubborn

dirt,

use

a

mild,

non-abrasive

detergent.

Afterwards,

be

sure

to

wipe

the

unit

thoroughly

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

*

Never

use

benzene,

thinners,

alcohol

or

solvents

of

any

kind,

to

avoid

the

possibility

of

discoloration

and/or

deformation.

Additional

Precautions

*

Unfortunately,

it

may

be

impossible

to

restore

the

contents

of

data

that

was

stored

on

a

floppy

disk

once

it

has

been

lost.

Roland

Corporation

assumes

no

liability

concerning

such

loss

of

data.

*

Use

a

reasonable

amount

of

care

when

using

the

unit's

buttons,

sliders,

or

other

controls;

and

when

using

its

jacks

and

connectors.

Rough

handling

can

lead

to

malfunctions.

*

Never

strike

or

apply

strong

pressure

to

the

display.

¢

When

connecting

/

disconnecting

all

cables,

grasp

the

connector

itself—never

pull

on

the

cable.

This

way

you

will

avoid

causing

shorts,

or

damage

to

the

cable's

internal

elements.

*

A

small

amount

of

heat

will

radiate

from

the

unit

during

normal

operation.

¢

To

avoid

disturbing

your

neighbors,

try

to

keep

the

unit's

volume

at

reasonable

levels.

You

may

prefer

to

use

headphones,

so

you

do

not

need

to

be

concerned

about

those

around

you

(especially

when

it

is

late

at

night).

¢

When

you

need

to

transport

the

unit,

package

it

in

the

box

(including

padding)

that

it

came

in,

if

possible.

Otherwise,

you

will

need

to

use

equivalent

packaging

materials.

*

Do

not

pull

the

music

stand

too

far

forward

when

setting/releasing

its

latches.

Important

Notes

Before

Using

Floppy

Disks

Handling

the

Floppy

Disk

drive

¢

Install

the

unit

on

a

solid,

level

surface

in

an

area

free

from

vibration.

If

the

unit

must

be

installed

at

an

angle,

be

sure

the

installation

does

not

exceed

the

permissible

range:

upward,

0°;

downward,

0°.

Avoid

using

the

unit

immediately

after

it

has

been

moved

to

a

location

with

a

level

of

humidity

that

is

greatly

different

than

its

former

location.

Rapid

changes

in

the

environ-

ment

can

cause

condensation

to

form

inside

the

drive,

which

will

adversely

affect

the

operation

of

the

drive

and/or

damage

floppy

disks.

When

the

unit

has

been

moved,

allow

it

to

become

accustomed

to

the

new

environment

(allow

a

few

hours)

before

oper-

ating

it.

To

insert

a

disk,

push

it

gently

but

firmly

into

the

drive—it

will

click

into

place.

To

remove

a

disk,

press

the

EJECT

button

firmly.

Do

not

use

excessive

force

to

remove

a

disk

which

is

lodged

in

the

drive.

Never

attempt

to

remove

a

floppy

disk

from

the

drive

while

the

drive

is

operating

(the

indicator

is

lit);

damage

could

result

to

both

the

disk

and

the

drive.

*

Remove

any

disk

from

the

drive

before

powering

up

or

down.

*

To

prevent

damage

to

the

disk

drive's

heads,

always

try

to

hold

the

floppy

disk

in

a

level

position

(not

tilted

in

any

direction)

while

inserting

it

into

the

drive.

Push

it

in

firmly,

but

gently.

Never

use

excessive

force.

Handling

Floppy

Disks

*

Floppy

disks

contain

a

plastic

disk

with

a

thin

coating

of

magnetic

storage

medium.

Microscopic

precision

is

required

to

enable

storage

of

large

amounts

of

data

on

such

a

small

surface

area.

To

preserve

their

integrity,

please

observe

the

following

when

han-

dling

floppy

disks:

¢

Never

touch

the

magnetic

medium

inside

the

disk.

¢

Do

not

use

or

store

floppy

disks

in

dirty

or

dusty

areas.

*

Do

not

subject

floppy

disks

to

temperature

extremes

(e.g.,

direct

sunlight

in

an

enclosed

vehicle).

Recommended

temperature

range:

10

to

50°

C

(50

to

122°

F).

*

Do

not

expose

floppy

disks

to

strong

magnetic

fields,

such

as

those

generated

by

loudspeakers.

*

Floppy

disks

have

a

“write

protect"

tab

which

can

protect

the

disk

from

accidental

era-

sure.

It

is

recommended

that

the tab

be

kept

in

the

PROTECT

position,

and

moved

to

the

WRITE

position

only

when

you

wish

to

write

new

data

onto

the

disk.

<<What

is

a

Style?>>

There

are

many

kinds

of

music

throughout

the

world,

each

with

its

own

characteristics.

Jazz

has

a

“Jazzy”

feel,

classical

music

seems

“classical.”

You

can

say

that

the

“mood”

of

any

style

of

music

is

a

combination

of

rhythm

and

tempo,

instruments

used,

melody,

and

phrasing.

The

sum

of

the

elements

that

make

such

a

musical

genre

is

called

a

Music

Style.

With

each

Style,

you

can

manipulate

the

rhythm,

bass,

and

chords

that

comprise

the

accompaniment,

or

even

just

the

rhythm.

Choosing

a

Style

The

KR-370

has

a

large

number

of

built-in

Styles.

These

Styles

are

grouped

into

eight

Groups

according

to

their
