Roland
Piano Digital
HP-236
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland HP-236 Digital Piano.
Features
Six Different Sounds
The selection of sounds, beginning with a luxurious
grand piano, allows you to play music in virtually any
style.
Dual Function
Any two Voices can be combined (layered) and played
together.
Digital Effects
Your new
piano comes
equipped
with two
digital
effects: Chorus and Reverb.
"Recorder"
An easy-to-operate Recorder allows you to record and
play back the music you create.
Key Touch Function
Three 'Touch' levels are available, allowing the player to
adjust the keyboard feel to suit personal preferences.
Damper Pedal
When the Damper pedal is depressed, the HP-236 pro-
vides a realistic simulation of "sympathetic resonance."
This effect occurs when strings (on an acoustic piano)
adjacent to the notes played also resonate, creating
much richer, expansive sonorities.
Exclusive "passive reflection speaker system"
Positioning the HP-236
close to the wall, the rear
"Passive Holes" provide a sound reinforcement of the
"Mid-High" frequencies, reflecting the sound through
the wall surface. This system guarantees an extremely
wide and natural sound effect.
Transpose Function
Using the key transpose function you can transpose the
entire keyboard without changing the position of the
keys to play.
Master Tune
The overall pitch of the piano can be changed to match
the pitch of other musical instruments.
MIDI Capability
The instrument also provides for use of MIDI, the inter-
face standard designed to provide for the transfer of per-
formance information among electronic musical instru-
ments and computers.
Computer Interface
This socket allows you to connect your HP-236 to a
computer (PC - MS Dos).
About the Advanced GP Sound Sources
The sounds produced by this instrument are created
using the "Advanced GP Process," which represents a
pooling of the best leading-edge digital technology by
Roland. This process, developed as a natural extension
of the original GP process, involved a series of efforts:
first, an analysis of the essential properties of sound as
generated by musical instruments, then an extraction,
and finally a re-synthesis
designed
to facilitate the
expressive needs of musicians. The result is a sound
generation method which provides very finely textured
and realistic sounds.
