Roland KR-17, KR-15 owner manual Connect to External Speakers for Concert Hall Presence

Introduction

❍A Variety of Support Functions for Fostering Rich Musical Abilities

You can use the “DigiScore” feature, which lets you specify the information to be shown in the score display, including notes, fingerings, and even a “bouncing ball” that keeps the rhythm for the current performance. You can have specified segments be repeated, allowing you to practice the part over as you like, easily play back and record each hand separately, and enjoy a number of other handy practice features available only with digital pianos.

Other useful practice features include a “Replay” pedal that you can press to stop the performance and go back when you have trouble with what you’re playing, and “Touch the Note,” a function that lets you confirm how a note sounds by touching the note on the screen.

Features geared specifically for young children include “Wonderland,” where kids can enjoy touching a variety of instruments; and the “Game,” an ear-training feature which helps build their listening abilities with all the fun of a game.

❍Connector for External Display of Enlarged Scores and Lyrics

The KR features a built-in connector for external displays.

By displaying scores and lyrics on a bigger screen, everyone playing in your group should be able to get a clear view.

❍Superior Player Piano Function (Only Instrument Equipped with Moving Key)

The KR includes an automatic “Moving Key” function that actually moves the keys while playing songs. Use the CD drive to play the enclosed CD and CDs for automatic player pianos, as well as audio CDs. You can also connect an external display for a more expanded view of your work, and use the remote control to select, start and stop songs.

❍Connect to External Speakers for Concert Hall Presence

Connect external speakers, amps or other devices to the KR. Then play the reverb or accompaniment sounds through the external speaker and experience the sensation of being surrounded by an orchestra.

❍Color Screen Makes Operation Easier

The KR’s color screen makes viewing easier. It also functions as a touch panel, so you can carry out tasks simply by touching the panel.
