Roland RG-3M Introduction

Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-3M Digital Grand Piano.

The RG-3M is sure to be highly appreciated, not only for the authentic piano performances it offers, but also for its

extensive selection of player piano functions.

In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time to read

through this manual in its entirety.

• 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 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes.

• The RG-3M features an “ivory feel” keyboard, which thanks to the latest technology, reproduces the comfortable

touch and feel of ivory (used for the white keys) and ebony (used for the black keys), materials reputed to be the

best for use for piano keyboards. The white keys are made using a two-piece construction consisting of a surface

material added to the basic key material. They have a natural appearance and just the right rigidity and response.

• The RG-3M promises superior performance with features such as Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II), which

reproduces the touch of a grand piano and provides a heavier feel in the lower registers, and lighter, quicker

response in the upper registers, while also accurately reproducing the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when

the keys are played gently (escapement).

• The RG-3M includes a “Moving Key” function, which plays the keys along with the song, providing exquisite

performances that are played automatically.

• Also included is a convenient remote control you can use for selecting songs, adjusting volume, switching the

Moving Key function on and off simply and easily. You can connect an external display or television set to the

RG-3M for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide

shows.

• The RG-3M comes programmed with song data in jazz and classical styles. You can also use the CD drive to play

back a wide variety of music on the CD included with the instrument as well as songs on CD-ROMs containing

saved SMF files, player piano CDs, and audio CDs. Moreover, you can add song data by copying songs saved on

USB memory and CD-ROMs to the RG-3M’s “Favorites.”

• The RG-3M exhibits elegance in form with a beautiful black, mirror-like surface. With features just like those

found on an acoustic grand, such as a lid that opens and closes and retractable music rest, this instrument is a

perfect match for lounge or living room.

• The simple, modern, and stylish panel design makes switching tones and making settings a snap.
