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.
