Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP103.

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.

In addition, this instrument features a “Grand Sound” speaker system, and simulates the full, three-dimensional nature of a concert grand piano (Grand Space), which together help to deliver a sound with even greater clarity and power (Dynamic Emphasis).

Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

This instrument features 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.

The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances to be expressed.

Comfortable for Use with Headphones

Special effects applied to the sound when headphones are used make listening through headphones comfortable, not fatiguing. And in addition to an indicator on the front panel that lights up when you connect a pair of headphones, the HP103 also provides a convenient hook where you can keep your headphones when they’re not in use.

A Variety of Helpful Practice Features and Built-in Piano Songs

A metronome function and “two-track recorder,” the built-in songs for a collection of scores (60 songs included), and other features let you experience piano lessons in ways possible only with a digital piano.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” (p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3, 4), and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 5, 6).
