Owner's Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP-7/3.
Main Features
Piano sounds with rich resonance and wide-ranging expressiveness
The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound
of the hammers striking the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert
grand piano. Maximum polyphony of 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal
freely without running out of notes.
The HP-7 features a new speaker system to provide sounds with depth and spatial
realism.
Pursuing the playing feel of a grand piano
These instruments feature a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates
the touch of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter
touch in the upper register. In addition, on the HP-7, even the distinctive "click" that
you feel when pressing a key on a grand piano has been faithfully simulated
(escapement mechanism).
The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance
nuances to be expressed.
A variety of practice features to help you develop your musicality
In addition to a metronome, the HP-7/3 features a rhythm function, which
encourages your natural sense of rhythm, and a two-track recorder, which allows
you to experience piano lessons in a way possible only on electronic pianos.
An enjoyable ear-training game is also built-in.
65 piano songs built-in
The built-in songs are mainly classical pieces, and include compositions for listening
enjoyment as well as for lessons. The included music score collection (60 songs) is
also supported.
Piano Customize function lets you adjust details of the sound (HP-7)
This simulates the tonal changes that occur when the lid of a grand piano is opened
or closed, allowing you to play using the piano sound you want.
Adjustable music stand (HP-7)
In addition to allowing you to adjust the angle of the stand, and move it forward or
backward, the music holders accommodates even thick score books.
