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.

Tailored for both beginners and advanced players, this instrument offers an immersive playing experience that mirrors the nuances of an acoustic piano.

One of the standout features of the HP-7/3 is its advanced SuperNATURAL Piano technology. This unique system replicates the complexities of an acoustic piano’s sound by utilizing advanced sampling techniques and modeling.

Effects such as reverb and chorus can enhance the overall sound quality, creating a more atmospheric listening experience. The user can adjust these settings intuitively, making it easy to find the right sound for their music.

Connectivity is another area where the HP-7/3 excels. With USB and audio inputs, players can connect the digital piano to computers, tablets, and smartphones, enabling them to access various music applications, recording software, and online lessons.
