Notes don’t sound right

Sound is not loud enough

Is the speaker cable connected correctly?

p. 14

Only the high sounds are heard

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could you have made Transpose settings?

p. 32

 

 

 

 

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?

p. 55

Pitch of the keyboard or song is incorrect

 

 

Is the setting for the Temperament correct?

p. 35

 

 

 

 

 

Is the settings for the Stretch Tuning correct?

p. 35

 

 

 

 

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you are playing along with a song and making heavy use

 

Not all the notes you play are sounded

of the damper pedal, the number of notes the HP307 is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum

—

 

polyphony, meaning that some of the notes will drop out.

 

 

 

 

 

Is the HP307 in Dual play?

p. 26

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the

 

 

 

 

keyboard is played

When the HP307 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to off. Alternatively, the sequencer

p. 68

 

could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tone buttons [E. Piano] [Strings] [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”

 

The wrong instrument is selected when you

With the factory settings, connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to the external memory connector

 

and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds

 

press the [E. Piano], [Strings], or [Others]

p. 63

appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] Tone buttons, so that you can

button

 

select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.

 

 

 

 

You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.

 

 

 

 

Effect does not apply

When you are using Dual play or Split play, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the effect

—

will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split play).

 

 

 

 

 

Reverberation remains even if You defeat the

The HP307’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the

 

impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect.

—

Reverb effect

Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for “Cabinet Resonance.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top of the keyboard will continue

 

The sound of the higher notes suddenly

sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. HP307

—

changes from a certain key

faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the HP307, the range that is unaffected by the damper

 

 

pedal will change according to the key transpose setting.

 

 

 

 

 

Is the speaker cable connected correctly?

p. 14

 

 

 

 

If you hear this in headphones:

 

 

Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may

 

 

sound as though a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being

 

High-pitched ringing is heard

faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb effect is applied heavily,

 

 

so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.

—

 

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

 

 

It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or a

 

 

nearby Roland service center.

 

 

 

 

 

If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform.

p. 17

 

If this occurs, turn down the volume.

 

p. 56

 

Alternatively, lower the master gain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

 

 

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the HP307 to resonate. Fluorescent lights or

 

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher

 

volumes. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances.

 

 

 

 

• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.

—

 

• Keep the volume down.

 

 

 

• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

 

 

If you hear this in headphones:

 

 

It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.
