7.1 Troubleshooting

If you are encountering problems with the HP-1, please read the section below before assuming that there is a malfunc- tion.

The piano cannot be switched on

Is the power cord properly connected? (p. 7)

No sound is produced

Is the volume knob set to the minimum position? (p. 8)

Are headphones connected? (p. 8)

Did you switch off the Local function? (p. 18)

The pitch of the keyboard sounds incorrect

Is the Master Tuning setting correct? (p. 13) Is the Transpose setting correct? (p. 12)

Did you select another temperament? (p. 14)

Bass notes sound wrong/buzzing or vibration occurs

If you can’t hear the problem in the headphones: When playing at high volumes, resonance may occur in the piano itself or in objects near the piano. At times, other objects in the room, such as fluorescent lights or glass doors, could start vibrating. This becomes more noticeable when sounding the lower frequencies at high volume. To minimize such unwanted resonance, please observe the following:

Locate the instrument at least 10~15 cm away from the walls.

Reduce the volume.

Increase the distance from the object that is resonat- ing.

If you can hear the problem in the headphones, there may be another reason. Please contact your dealer.

In the upper range, the sound changes abruptly beyond a certain key

On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one and a half octaves of the keyboard continue to sound until they decay naturally, regardless of the damper pedal. There is a difference in the timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully simulate such characteristics of the acoustic piano. On the HP-1, the range that is unaf- fected by the damper pedal depends on the Key Trans- pose setting.

When the HP-1 is connected to an external device

No sound is produced

Is the power to all equipment turned on?

Are the connections between the HP-1 and the MIDI sequencer or the other external devices correct?

(p. 17)

Is the MIDI channel setting correct? (p. 17)
