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.

Shifting the Pitch (Transpose)
Transpose means to shift the pitches of songs and the keyboard.
The Transpose function makes it easy to do the following.
• You can use unchanged ngering to accompany a singer who is singing in a key dierent than the original music.
• A song written in a dicult key with numerous sharps (
) or ats () can be performed in a key that’s easier for you to play.
• Notation of a transposing instrument such as trumpet or sax can be played as written, while hearing the transposed pitches.
For example if the song is written in E major but you want to play it using the ngering of the key of C major, you would set Transpose to 4.
If you play C E G It will sound E G B
MEMO
With the factory settings, both the song and the keyboard will be transposed. If you want to transpose only the keyboard or only the song, make
the appropriate setting as described in “Specifying What the Transpose will Aect (Transpose Mode)” (p. 45).

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.”

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.
ScreenExplanationQualities
EQUEqual
In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of
slight dissonance.
MAJJust 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.
MINJust Minor
The Just tunings dier from major and minor keys. You can get the same eect with the minor scale as with the major
scale.
PYTHPythagorean
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths.
Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.
KIRNKirnberger
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).
MEANMeantoneThis scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.
WERCWerckmeister
This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (rst
technique, III).
ARBArabicThis 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,

SymptomCause/ActionPage
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.

Is the setting for the Temperament correct?p. 44
If stretch tuning is “ON,” the piano will be tuned in a unique way; notes in the piano’s upper range will be tuned slightly sharper,
while notes in the lower range will be tuned slightly lower. For this reason, certain pitches may seem to be o, but this is actually
the way that an acoustic piano should sound.
p. 44
Not all the notes you play are
sounded
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 voices. If you’re using Dual Play, or playing along with a song, or making heavy
use of the damper pedal, the number of notes being requested by the performance data may exceed the maximum available
polyphony, causing notes to drop out.

SymptomCause/ActionPage
The wrong instrument is selected
when you press the [E. Piano],
[Strings], or [Other] button
Tone buttons [E. Piano] [Strings] [Other] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”
Connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to the USB memory port and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for
the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and
[Other] Tone buttons, so that you can select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.
p. 14
Eect does not apply
When you are using Dual play or Split play, and dierent eects are specied for the two selected tones, the eect will not be
applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split play).
–
Reverberation remains even if You
defeat the Ambience eect
The unit’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of
reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Ambience eect.
Also, you may be able to eliminate some reverberation by reducing the value set for “Cabinet Resonance.”
p. 45
The sound of the higher notes
suddenly changes from a certain
key
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top of the keyboard will continue sounding
regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat dierent tonal character. The unit faithfully simulate this
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the unit, the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change according to the key
transpose setting.
–
High-pitched ringing is heard
If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may sound as though
a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully reproduced, and is not a
malfunction.
This sound can be adjusted by modifying the following settings.
• String Resonance (p. 45)
• Ambience (p. 18)
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland
service center.
–
Low notes sound wrong, or are
buzzy
If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform.
If this occurs, turn down the volume.
–
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may
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.
