Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you
release your ngers from the keyboard.
On an acoustic piano, when you step on the damper pedal, you’ll rst hear the sound of the dampers releasing the strings. Then,
you should also be able to hear the sound of strings adjacent to the ones for the notes actually played resonate sympathetically,
resulting in a rich, resounding tone. Additionally, when using half-pedaling techniques, the core of the sound disappears rapidly
while a rich, spacious resonance remains, producing a unique form of reverberation. On the unit, the unique, lingering tones
produced by the half-pedaling technique are reproduced in addition to released-string sounds (Damper Noise) and resonating
sounds (Damper Resonance).
Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.
Pedals
Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them
on the headphone hook.
* Don’t hang anything other than headphones on this hook, and don’t apply
excessive force to it.
Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

These buttons and sliders are used to operate the unit.

Tuning (*1)
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you nger the middle A key (A4). For a cleaner ensemble sound while
performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This
tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tuning.
415.3–440.0–466.2 Hz
Temprmnt (*1)
Changing the Tuning Method (Temperament)
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic temperaments (tuning methods).
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at one time, there were a wide
variety of other tuning systems in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in use when a composition was created, you can experience
the sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.
Screen Explanation Qualities
EQU Equal
In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of
slight dissonance.
MAJ Just Major
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be
transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.
MIN Just Minor
The Just tunings dier from major and minor keys. You can get the same eect with the minor scale as with the major
scale.
PYTH Pythagorean
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths.
Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.
KIRN Kirnberger
This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation.
Performances are possible in all keys (III).
MEAN Meantone This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.
WERC Werckmeister
This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (rst
technique, III).
ARB Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
Tmpr Key (*1)
Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament Key)
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key for tuning the song to be performed (that is,
the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, theres no need to select a temperament key.

Symptom Cause/Action Page
Even though you’re using head-
phones and the sound is muted,
a thumping sound is heard when
you play the keyboard
The unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For
this reason, you’ll hear the hammers thump when you play the keyboard, just as you would when playing an acoustic piano.
Since this unit allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound of the hammers in certain situations, but this does
not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the oor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration
by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with
pianos.

also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the
following measures to minimize resonances.
Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.
Keep the volume down.
Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). Depending on the way in which
the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise
may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is
not a cause for concern.
To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,
always make sure to turn o the power on all your
equipment before you make any connections.
With the factory settings, the unit will automatically
be switched o 30 minutes after you stop playing
or operating the unit. If the unit’s power has been
turned o automatically, you can use the [Power]
switch to turn the unit back on again. If you don’t
want the unit to turn o automatically, change the
Auto O setting to “O as described on “Making
the Power Automatically Turn O After a Time (Auto
O )” (p. 39).
NOTE
The settings you were editing will be lost when the
unit is turned o. If you want to keep your settings,
you must save your settings before turning the unit
o.
Placement
Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater
distance from this unit, or switch them o.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place
it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside
an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to
temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting
devices that normally are used while their light
source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light),
or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area
of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive
heat can deform or discolor the unit.
When moved from one location to another where
the temperature and/or humidity is very dierent,
water droplets (condensation) may form inside
the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you
attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore,
before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for
several hours, until the condensation has completely
evaporated.
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect
the nish.
Do not allow objects to remain on top of the
keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such
as keys ceasing to produce sound.
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this
instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument
may damage the exterior nish.
Depending on the material and temperature of the
surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the
rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you
do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or
move accidentally.
Do not put anything that contains water on this unit.
Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol,
nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly
wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a
dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that
is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface
using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth
along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard
in the same area can damage the nish.
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Since wood will expand and contract depending
on how it is used and the environment in which it is
located, products made of wood may experience a
gradual loosening of the screws over time.
To ensure that your piano remains in safe, optimal
condition, you should regularly check the tightness of
the screws in the locations shown in the illustration. If
you nd that any screws are loose, use a screwdriver to
tighten them.
Maintenance of polished-nish pianos
(Only for DP90S)
Since your piano has a polished nish that is as
delicate as that found on nely crafted wooden
furniture, it needs careful, periodic care. A few
important suggestions concerning the proper care
of the unit follow. For dusting, using a soft, clean
cloth and/or piano-use feather duster. Be sure to
wipe gently. Even the tiniest grains of sand or grit
can leave scratches on the surface if too much force
is applied while wiping. Do not use any cleaners or
detergents, since they might deteriorate the surface
of the cabinet, and produce cracks.
If the cabinet’s surface loses its luster, wipe it
thoroughly with a soft cloth dampened with a little
of the polishing liquid. Do not use any cleaners or
detergents, since they might deteriorate the surface
of the cabinet, and produce cracks. Do not use
dusting cloths that contain chemicals.
About piano polishing liquid
Use polishing liquid as directed by the instructions
for the product.
Use only polishing liquid that is intended for use on
polished-nish pianos. Using any other polishing
liquid may cause scratches, deformation, or
discoloration. To purchase polishing liquid, contact
your nearby musical instrument dealer.
Use the polishing liquid only on the polished
surfaces of the cabinet. Always wipe the surface
with the grain using straight, even strokes. Do
not repeatedly wipe the same places using too
much pressure, since that might result in the loss
of luster.
Be sure to keep the polishing liquid out of the
reach of small children. If the polishing liquid is
accidentally swallowed, rst get them to vomit,
then take them to a doctor.
Repairs and Data
Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for
repairs. Important data should always be backed up
USB ash drives, or written down on paper (when
possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such
as when circuitry related to memory itself is out
of order), we regret that it may not be possible to
restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
Please be aware that the contents of memory can
be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction,
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect
yourself against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save a backup
copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s
memory on a USB ash drive.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s
memory, USB ash drives once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning
such loss of data.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables
internal elements.
To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be
concerned about those around you.
The sound of keys being struck and vibrations
produced by playing an instrument can be
transmitted through a oor or wall to an unexpected
extent. Please take care not to cause annoyance to
others nearby.
When you need to transport the unit, package it
in the box (including padding) that it came in, if
possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent
packaging materials.
Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it
is in use.
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not
use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting
to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the
sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to
hear. For information on cable specications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
