Roland MP-70 owner manual

Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano MP-70.

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.

Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

These instruments feature a compact 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.

A Variety of Practice Features to Help You Develop Your Musicality

In addition to a metronome, the MP-70 features a two-track recorder, which allows

you to experience piano lessons in a way possible only on electronic pianos.

66 Piano Songs Built-In

The internal songs are mainly classical pieces, and include compositions for listening

enjoyment as well as for lessons.

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). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.

Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided

by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and

kept on hand as a convenient reference.
