IMPORTANT NOTES
291b
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 3
and 4, please read and observe the following:
Power Supply
301
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being
used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter
(such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air
conditioner), or that contains a motor. 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 filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
307
•Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to
speakers or other devices.
308
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER
switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been
completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to
turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch,
then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this
reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power
cord’s plug should be one that is within easy reach.
Placement
351
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
352b
•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 off.
353
• Observe the following when using the unit’s floppy disk drive.
For further details, refer to “Before Using Floppy Disks” (p. 40).
• Do not place the unit near devices that produce a strong
magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers).
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface.
• Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while the drive
is operating.
354b
• 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.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (conden-
sation) 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.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
358
• 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.
359
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior
finish.
Maintenance
401b
• 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 finish.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
452
•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 on a floppy disk, 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
551
• 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 floppy
disk.
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored on a floppy disk once it has been lost.
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of
data.
553
• 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.
554
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
557
•A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal
operation.
558a
•To avoid disturbing your neighbors, 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 (especially
when it is late at night).
559b
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-absorbent
material. Transporting the unit without doing so can cause it to
become scratched or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.
560
• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some
other make of connection cable, please note the following precau-
tions.
• 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 specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
565
•Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure that
no pets or other small animals are located on top of the
instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the
keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design of
this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up getting
trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered, you must
immediately switch off the power and disconnect the power cord
from the outlet. You should then consult with the retailer from
whom the instrument was purchased, or contact the nearest
Roland Service Center.
Before Using Floppy Disks
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive
602
• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from
vibration.
603
• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a
location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its
former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause
condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect
the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the
unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new
environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
604
• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the drive—it will
click into place. To remove a disk, press the EJECT button firmly.
Do not use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in
the drive.
605a
• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the drive while the
drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could result to
both the disk and the drive.
605b
• The indicator light for the disk drive lights up at full brightness
when reading or writing data, and lights up at half brightness at
other times. Don’t try to eject the disk while reading or writing is
in progress (that is, when the indicator light is lit up at full
brightness). Attempting to do so may damage the magnetic
surface of the disk, rendering it unusable.
606
• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or down.
607
• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always try to hold
the floppy disk in a level position (not tilted in any direction)
while inserting it into the drive. Push it in firmly, but gently.
Never use excessive force.
608
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert only
floppy disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other type of
disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other foreign objects
inside the drive.
Handling Floppy Disks
651
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is required to
enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface
area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following
when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended
temperature range: 0 to 50° C (50 to 122° F).
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as
those generated by loudspeakers.
652
• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect the
disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be
kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position
only when you wish to write new data onto the disk.
653
• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk.
Should the label come loose while the disk is in the drive, it may
be difficult to remove the disk.
654
• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and to
protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By using a dirty
or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the disk, as well as
causing the disk drive to malfunction.
655
•Disks containing performance data for this unit should always be
locked (have their write protect tab slid to the “Protect” position)
before you insert them into the drive on some other unit (except
the PR-300, or a product in the HP-G, HPi, MT, KR, or Atelier
families), or into a computer’s drive. Otherwise (if the write
protect tab remains in the “Write” position), when you perform
any disk operations using the other device’s disk drive (such as
checking the contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk
rendering the disk unreadable by this unit’s disk drive.
Handling CD-ROMs
801
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded
surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be
read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially
available CD cleaner.

Some Notes on Using Headphones
• To avoid damaging or severing the headphone cord, be
sure to handle the headphones by holding the phones
themselves, and grasping the plug and not the cord
when pulling the headphone plug.
• The headphones may be damaged if the volume is too
high when they are plugged in. Connect the headphones
only after turning the volume down completely.
• To prevent possible auditory damage, loss of hearing, or
damage to the headphones, the headphones should not
be used at an excessively high volume. Listen at
appropriate levels.

devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or
damage to speakers and other devices.
To turn the power on, turn the [Volume] knob all the
way down, and then press the [Power On] switch.
The power will turn on, and the Power indicator at the left front
of the HPi-7 will light.
After a few seconds, you will be able to play the keyboard to
produce sound. Use the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume.

adjust the contrast of the screen, you can minimize these
lines.
• The contrast of the screen may be affected by the
temperature.

Before You Begin Playing
About the Pedals
The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for
piano performance.
fig.pedal-e
Damper pedal (right pedal)
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you
take your fingers off the keys. The depth to which you press the
pedal will subtly affect the duration of the sustain.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the
remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you
played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance.
The HPi-7 simulates this sympathetic resonance.
→
You can adjust the amount of sympathetic resonance that
occurs when you press the damper pedal. Refer to “Adjusting
the depth of the effects (Effect)” (p. 55).
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already
played when you pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the sound
will have a softer tone.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which
you press the pedal.
→
The Sostenuto pedal and Soft pedal can be given functions
other than these. Refer to “Notation Screen” (p. 15) and
“Changing the function of the pedals (Pedal)” (p. 56).
About the adjuster
When you move the HPi-7 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable,
adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows.
•Rotate the adjustor to lower it so that it is in firm contact with the
floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and the floor, the
pedals may be damaged. In particular when placing the
instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the pedals firmly contact
the floor.
fig.adjust
Disabling Functions Other
Than Piano Performance
(Panel Lock)
The “Panel Lock” function locks the HPi-7 in a state where only
piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled.
This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if
children press the buttons accidentally.
* In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be
played. Also, nothing will be displayed in the screen.
1
Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the [Power
On] switch to turn off the power.
2
Hold down the [Function] button, and press the [Power
On] switch to turn on the power.
Continue holding down the button for six or seven seconds.
Adjust the volume. When you play the keyboard, the grand piano
sound will be heard.
To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the
minimum, and turn on the power once again.
Cancelling Auto Demo
The HPi-7 is set at the factory so that it automatically starts playback
of the demo songs whenever the keys and controls have been left
untouched for a few minutes.
You can cancel this setting.
1
Press the [Function] button.

Notation Screen
When the power of the HPi-7 is turned on, a notation screen like the following will appear in the
display.
This can display not only the onboard songs, but also the notation for SMF music files or a performance
that you’ve recorded on the HPi-7.
fig.notation-e
*If you have selected a part that contains no performance data, the notation will not show any notes. To change the

* The fingering numbers shown in the screen indicate one possible fingering.
* The fingering numbers can be displayed only when playing some internal song.
Some notes on the notation screen
•When you begin song playback, the notation screen will show . While this symbol is displayed,
performance data is being loaded from floppy disk or internal memory. It may take dozens to
read the data. Please wait.
• The displayed notation is generated from the music files, and priority is given to making the
display easy to read rather than reproducing a complicated or difficult performance accurately.
For this reason, you may notice differences when compared with commercially available sheet
music. In particular, this is not suitable for display of sophisticated or complex songs that require
detailed notations.
• In the notation screen, lyrics or notes may fall outside the display range of the screen, and fail to
be shown.
• If you display the notation or change the displayed part during song playback, the song may
sometimes play back from the beginning.

to turn to the previous page.
Keyboard

Other Recording Methods
Recording with an accompaniment (the Pianist function)
You can use the Pianist function to record while adding an accompaniment.
→
For details on the Pianist function, refer to “Adding an Accompaniment to Your Performance (Pianist Function)” (p.
32).
1
As described in steps 1 and 2 of “Recording a New Song” (p. 36), select “New
Song.”
2
Press the [ (Rec)] button.
The indicators of all Track buttons will blink, and the HPi-7 enters recording-standby mode.

Recording Your Performance
*If you want to re-record only your own performance after using the Pianist function to record, you must turn off the
Pianist function before you record. If you fail to turn off the Pianist function, the Pianist accompaniment will be added
to the previously recorded accompaniment.
* If you want to re-record the accompaniment of the Pianist function, select the [2/Accomp] track or the [R/Rhythm]
track, and re-record.
Multitrack recording on five tracks
Multitrack recording is a method by which you can record additional tracks while listening to the
previously recorded tracks.
The HPi-7 provides five tracks, so you can record different sounds on each track to create an ensemble
song.
→
You can also record on 16 tracks (p. 58).
Record the first track
1
Record your performance as described in “Recording a New Song” (p. 36).
* The song tempo will be remembered as the tempo at which you recorded the first track.
Record the second and subsequent tracks
2
Select and record additional tracks one at a time as described in “Re-recording”
(p. 38).
For the second and subsequent recordings, you can listen to the previously recorded performances
while you record.
Record additional tracks as desired to complete the song.
* Only drum set or SFX set sounds can be recorded in the [R/Rhythm] button.
The five track buttons and 16 parts
Many songs in commercially available SMF music files consist of 16 parts. The 16 parts are divided
among the five track buttons.
The track buttons and the 16 parts correspond as follows.
Track button Part

Saving Your Performance
The performance data you record on the HPi-7 will be lost when you select another song or turn off
the power of the HPi-7. If you want to keep important performance data, you must save it to floppy
disks or Favorites.

Some notes on saving a song
• Due to certain types of handling, the data on a floppy disk can be damaged and become
unplayable. We recommend that important song data be saved on two floppy disks.
• When a song is played back on some other devices, notes may drop out or may be played
differently.
• When you are finished saving, set the protect tab of the floppy disk to the “protect” position (p.
42). This will prevent the song from being accidentally erased.

Correcting Notes One by One (Note
Edit)
You can make corrections in a recorded performance one note at

• Deleting misplayed notes
• Changing the scale of a single note
• Changing the force used in playing a single key
(velocity)
• Change the fingering.
fig.e-note
The note-location display uses “Measure: Beat: Tick” as the
format. A tick is a unit of time that’s shorter than a beat.
Use the [ ] [ ] buttons to select the part with the note to be
edited. The Part number appears at the top of the screen.
Use the [ (Bwd)] button and the [ (Fwd)] button or use
[] [ ] buttons to find the note to be corrected.
When you’ve found the note you want to correct, use the [ ]

the note.
Use the [-] [+] buttons to correct the pitch or velocity. If you want
to delete the note, press the [ (Delete)] button.
Modifying the Tone Changes in a Song
(PC Edit)
In some songs, the instrument sound changes during the course
of the song (that is, the Tone changes in the middle of a Part). In
such songs, an instruction to switch the Tone is inserted at the
place where you want the sound to change. This instruction is
called a “Program Change” (PC), and actions such as deleting

effect.
Changing How Rapidly Sounds Are Expressed
According to the Force Used to Play the Keys
(Hammer Response)
You can adjust the timing with which sounds are produced
according to the force used to play the keys.
When a key is pressed on an acoustic piano, it causes a hammer
to move and strike the strings, producing sound. The hammers
move more slowly when the keys are played gently, meaning
that sounds are produced just slightly later than when you play
the keyboard with greater force.
Setting
Off, 1–10 Increasing the value will increase the amount of
effect.
Adjusting the Resonant Sounds when the keys
are pressed (String Resonance)
When the keys are pressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for
keys that are already pressed also vibrate sympathetically. The
function used to reproduce this resonance is called “String
Resonance.”

another instrument. Middle A is used as the reference pitch for
tuning instruments.
The process of adjusting the reference pitch to match another
instrument is called “Tuning.”
Setting
415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz
Stretch Tuning
Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the
high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method
of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as “stretched
tuning.”
Setting Description
On
This tuning curve expands the low range and high
range. It is suitable for piano solos. This setting is
selected when the power is turned on.
Off
This is the standard tuning curve. It is suitable
when playing in an ensemble with other
instruments.

Convenient Functions
Temperament
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal temperament.
However in past ages of classical music, a variety of
temperaments were used. 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.
Key
When playing in a temperament other than equal temperament,
you must specify the tonic (the note corresponding to C for a
major key, or to A for a minor key) of the key in which you will
play.
If you have selected equal temperament, it is not necessary to
select the tonic.
Setting
C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B

Setting Description
Equal
This temperament divides the octave into 12
equal parts. All intervals will be slightly out
of tune by the same amount.
Just Major
This temperament makes the 5th and 3rd
intervals pure. It is unsuitable for playing
melodies and modulation is not possible, but
it produces beautifully harmonious chords.
Just Minor
Just intonation differs between major and
minor keys. The same results as major can be
obtained in a minor key.
Arabic This tuning is suitable for the music of
Arabia.
Kirnberger
This temperament is a modification of
meantone temperament and just intonation,
allowing more freedom of modulation. It
allows you to play in all keys (third method).
Pythagorean
This temperament is based on the theories of
the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, and has
pure fourths and fifths. Chords containing a
third will sound impure, but melodies will
sound good.
Meantone This temperament is a partial compromise of
just intonation in order to allow modulation.
Werkmeister
This temperament is a combination of
meantone and Pythagorean temperaments.
It allows you to play in all keys. (First
method, number three.)
Setting Description

Recording and Playing Back
Performances of Specific Instruments
(16 Track)
Multitrack recording is a method of recording whereby you
listen to what has previously been recorded while recording
new parts on top of that material.
The HPi-7 lets you record 16 separate parts. By recording a
different tone to each part, you can create song data for
performances that feature up to 16 different tones layered
together.
The function used for recording the 16 individual parts one
at a time is called the “16-track sequencer.”
fig.16track.e
16-Track Sequencer and the Track Buttons
In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track
Buttons” (p. 16) are another of the unit’s playing/recording
functions.
In addition to the “16-track sequencer,” the HPi-7 also
features the “track buttons” (p. 16).
These “track buttons” group the 16-track sequencer’s 16 parts
with five buttons. Using the 16-track sequencer to work with
performances recorded with the track buttons allows you to
record even more sounds and edit with precision.
The track buttons correspond to the 16-track sequencer's
parts as shown below.
Each of the 16-track sequencer’s parts is used for recording a
single tone, so you cannot use it to record tones that combine
two tones simultaneously, as in Dual (p. 27) and Split (p. 28)
performances.
In addition, when recording performances using the Pianist
function, you can select only one part to record. If you want to
record multiple parts simultaneously with the Pianist function,
you should use the track buttons. Refer to “Recording with an
accompaniment (the Pianist function)” (p. 39).
You can also change the tones in each part, select specific parts
for playback (solo), and prevent specified parts from playing
(mute). Playback with only a single part muted is called “Minus
One.” You can even set solo and muting during playback.

devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on
all devices before making any connections.
* Connecting your computer to the HPi-7 for the first time requires
installation of the “USB Driver” (on the included CD-ROM) to the
computer. For more details, refer to the separate “USB
Installation Guide.”
* Only MIDI data can be transmitted using USB.
* Use a USB cable no longer than 3 meters.
* USB cables are not included. Consult your Roland dealer if you
need to purchase.
* Turn on the power to the HPi-7 before starting up MIDI
applications on the computer. Do not turn the HPi-7 on or off
while any MIDI application is running.
* Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while the HPi-7’s
power is on.
* If not using USB, disconnect the USB cable from the HPi-7.
* If, during the transmission/reception of data, the computer
switches to energy-saving mode or suspended mode, or if the
HPi-7’s power is switched on or off, the computer may freeze, or
the HPi-7’s operation may become unstable.
* When using your computer’s sequencer software to record

Making MIDI-Related
Settings
Here’s how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI-related
settings.
1
Press the [Function] button.
2
Select “MIDI,” and press the [ ] button.
Follow the directions that appear in the screen.
MIDI settings
MIDI transmit channel setting
MIDI has sixteen “MIDI channels,” numbered 1–16. Even if a MIDI
device is connected, it will not be possible to play or select sounds
unless the MIDI channels of the two devices match.
* When Dual performance (p. 27) is being used on the HPi-7, only
the channel you specify here will be transmitted.
* The HPi-7 receives all channels 1–16.
Local Control setting
If the data that is produced when you play the keyboard is sent to
the sound generation section via both routes (1) and (2) as shown in
the diagram, notes will be doubled or may be interrupted. To
prevent this, use the “Local Off” setting to disconnect route (1).
Set Local Off if you have connected the HPi-7 to a MIDI sequencer.
fig.locale
* When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not
necessary to make the Local Off setting. The MT transmits a
Local Off message when the power is turned on. If you turn on
the power in the order of the HPi-7

Connecting External Devices
Composer Out setting
If you want a performance recorded on the HPi-7 to be transmitted
to an external MIDI device or computer, turn the “Composer Out”
setting “On.”
Program Change setting
Program changes are a type of message that tell a device to “switch
to sound number `x’.” A device that receives this message will select
the sound of the corresponding number.
When you use this setting to specify a program change (program
number), that program number will be transmitted to a MIDI device
connected to the HPi-7. A MIDI device that receives the program
number will switch to the sound corresponding to that program
number.
Normally, program changes select from 128 different sounds.
However, some MIDI devices have more than 128 sounds. For such
devices, Bank Select messages are combined with Program Change
messages to select sounds. Bank Select consists of two messages:
MSB (controller number 0; value: 0-127), and LSB (controller number
32; value: 0-127).
* Some MIDI devices cannot use bank select messages.
Alternatively, some devices may use bank select messages, but
ignore the LSB message.
Making the Settings for the
USB Driver
If you intend to connect to a computer using the USB
connector, you need to make the following setting before you
make the connection.
1

Trouble Shooting
If you think there’s a problem, read this first.
Case Cause/Remedy
The power
doesn’t come
on.
Is the power cord connected and plugged in
correctly? (p. 9)
The button
doesn’t work.
Is the panel locked? (p. 11)
Turn the power off, then back on.
Nothing
appears on
screen.
The HPi-7 uses a liquid-crystal screen, so text
may not be displayed when the ambient
temperature is below freezing.
Is the music rest (screen) connection cable
connected correctly? (p. 9)
Vertical lines
appear in the
screen/Color is
“washed out” at
the edges of the
screen
These occur due to the nature of a liquid
crystal display, and do not indicate a
malfunction. They can be minimized by
adjusting the brightness of the screen (p. 10).
No sound is
heard.
Is the volume level of the HPi-7 (p. 10) or
connected device turned all the way down?
Are headphones plugged in?
Has a plug remained connected to the Phones
jack? (p. 9)
When you connect the headphones, the sound
is heard only through the headphones.
Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way
toward “Accomp” or “Keyboard”? (p. 55)
No sound is
heard (when a
MIDI instrument
is connected).
Have all devices been switched on? (p. 61)
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
(p. 61)
Does the MIDI channel match the connected
instrument? (p. 62)
No sound is
heard when the
keyboard is
played.
Has Local Control been set to “Off”?
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is
produced by playing the keyboard, Set Local
Control to On (p. 62).
Volume of
keyboard is too
low
Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way
toward “Accomp”? (p. 55)
No sound from
left-hand
section of
keyboard
Is the [Pianist] button’s indicator lit? (p. 32)
If the [Pianist] button’s indicator is lit, there
will be no sound from the left-hand section of
the keyboard.
No sound from the left side is V-LINK
switched on? (p. 60)
When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys
at the left end of the keyboard are used to
control images, and no sounds are played with
these keys.
Sounds are
heard twice
(doubled) when
the keyboard is
played.
Is the HPi-7 in Dual play? (p. 27)
When the HPi-7 is connected to an external
sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 62).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its
Soft Thru feature is OFF.
Not all played
notes are
sounded.
The maximum number of notes that the HPi-7
can play simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of
the damper pedal during automatic
accompaniment or when playing along with a
song on floppy disk may result in performance
data with too many notes, causing some notes
to drop out.
Can’t select a
tone
Press the [ ] button several times to return to
the notation screen (p. 15), and then select a
tone.
The tuning or
pitch of the
keyboard or
song is off.
Have you set Transpose? (p. 24)
Are the settings for the “Temperament” and
“Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 55)
Is the setting for the “Tuning” correct? (p. 55)
Volume of
accompaniment
or internal song
is too low
Could the “Balance” setting be set all the way
toward “Keyboard”? (p. 55)
Song doesn’t
play back
Does the screen indicate message, like “Deletes
the selected song. OK?” (p. 18)
The internal songs cannot be played back
while recorded performance data remains in
the HPi-7’s memory. Try playing back the song
after deleting the performance data.
Only the sound
of a particular
instrument in a
song does not
play
Is the light for the Track button extinguished?
(p. 16, p. 58)
If the button light is out, the music on that track
is not heard. Press the track button so the light
is illuminated.
Or cancel the mute in the "16 track" screen.
Pressing the
[ (Reset)]
button doesn’t
return to the
beginning of the
song.
Some music files may contain settings that stop
play at a point partway through the song.
Press the [
(
Reset)] button several times
more to return to the beginning of the tune.
The [ (Fwd)]
and [
(Bwd)] buttons
don’t work.
The [ (Fwd)] and [ (Bwd)] reverse
buttons are ignored while music files is being
read in. Wait until processing finishes.
If you attempt to play back performance data
that contains more data than the entire
capacity of the HPi-7’s memory, you may find
that operations other than playback (such as
rewind or fast forward) become unavailable.
There is a slight
delay before
playback of a
song on floppy
disk starts.
There are two types of SMF music files: format
0 and format 1. If the song uses SMF format 1
data, there will be a slight delay until playback
starts. Refer to the booklet that came with the
music files you’re using to determine the
format type.
Can’t record
Has one of the track buttons for recording been
selected? (p. 38)
It is not possible to record while the notation is
being generated. Once the unit has finished
generating the notation (i.e., when the measure
number in the screen is no longer highlighted),
try the operation once again.
Tempo of
recorded song
or metronome is
off
If you select an internal song in which the
tempo changes during the song, and then
record, the tempo will change in the same way
for the performances that are recorded on the
other tracks. The tempo of the metronome will
also change in the same way.
If you record additional material without
erasing the previously recorded song, the song
will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo.
Please erase the previously recorded song
before you re-record (p. 39).

Trouble Shooting
The Tone has
changed.
When a performance made along with a Music
Files tune has been recorded, recording the
performance to button [1/User] may make the
Tones for buttons [3/Left] and [4/Right]
change as well.
The recorded
performance
has
disappeared.
Any performance that has been recorded is
deleted when the power to the HPi-7 is turned
off or a song is selected. A performance cannot
be restored once it’s been deleted.
Lyrics are not
indicated
properly in the
display.
With some music files, the lyrics cannot be
displayed correctly.
In the notation screen, some lyrics or notes
could extend beyond the edges of the screen,
and not be displayed.
Notation is not
indicated
properly in the
display.
If you select a part that does not contain
performance data, notes will not be displayed
in the notation. Change the part that is
displayed (p. 47).
The notation screen feature is particularly
unsuitable for the display of difficult, complex
musical works that demand accurate notation.
Refer to “Some notes on the notation screen”
(p. 15).
In the notation screen, some lyrics or notes
could extend beyond the edges of the screen,
and not be displayed.
Song becomes
unstable
In certain cases, such as when playing songs on
disks, the song may lag when excessive
amounts of performance data are used.
Depressing a
pedal has no
effect, or the
pedal effect
doesn’t stop.
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Make sure the pedal cord extending from the
stand is securely connected to the pedal jack on
the rear of the unit (p. 9).
Has a different function been assigned to the
pedal?
See “Changing the function of the pedals
(Pedal)” (p. 56).
The pedal
rattles
Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so
that the pedal presses firmly against the floor
surface (p. 11).
Reverberation
still audible
even with
Reverb turned
off
Since the HPi-7’s piano sounds faithfully
reproduce the sense of spaciousness and
reverberation of an actual acoustic piano’s
sound, a certain amount of reverberation is still
perceptible, even with the reverb effect
deactivated.
In the upper
range, the
sound changes
abruptly beyond
a certain key
On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one
and a half octaves of the keyboard continue to
sound until they decay naturally, regardless of
the damper pedal. There is a difference in the
timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully
simulate such characteristics of the acoustic
piano. On the HPi-7, the range that is
unaffected by the damper pedal will change
depending on the Key Transpose setting.
Case Cause/Remedy
A High-pitched
whine is
produced
When listening through headphones:
Some of the more flamboyant and
effervescent piano tones feature an ample
high-end component, which may make the
sound appear to have metallic
reverberation added. Since this
reverberation becomes particularly
audible when supplemented by heavy
reverb, you may be able to diminish the
problem by reducing the amount of reverb
applied to the sound.
When listening through speakers:
Here, a different cause (such as resonance
produced by the HPi-7) would be suspect.
Consult your Roland dealer or nearest
Roland Service Center.
The bass range
sounds odd, or
there is a
vibrating
resonance
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause
instruments near the HPi-7 to resonate.
Resonation can also occur with fluorescent
light tubes, glass doors, and other objects.
In particular, this problem occurs more
easily when the bass component is
increased, and when the sound is played at
higher volumes. Use the following
measures to suppress such resonance.
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm
from walls and other surfaces.
• Reduce the volume.
• Move the speakers away from any
resonating objects.
When listening through headphones:
Here, a different cause (such as resonance
produced by the HPi-7) would be suspect.
Consult your Roland dealer or nearest
Roland Service Center.
The volume
level of the
instrument
connected to
Input jacks is
too low.
Could you be using a connection cable that
contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a
resistor.
Titles of songs
on floppy disk
not being
displayed
Has the song name data (Sequence/Track
Name Meta Event) been entered in the file?
Song titles are not displayed if the song name
data is blank or consists exclusively of spaces.
Is the file name no more than eight single-byte
characters?
Have any double-byte characters (such as
Japanese Hiragana or Kanji characters) been
used in the file name? This instrument does not
display double-byte characters. For characters
that can be used with this instrument, refer to
p. 43.
Is "MID" used as the extension? The song
cannot be treated as song data if a different
extension is used.

Music Files That the HPi-7 Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music Files contain information describing the details of a
musical performance, such as “the C3 key on a keyboard was
pressed for this amount of time, using this amount of force.”
By inserting the floppy disk into the disk drive on the HP, the
performance information is sent from the floppy disk to the
piano, and played faithfully by the piano. This is different
than a CD, since the music file does not contain a recording
of the sound itself. This makes it possible to erase certain
parts, or to change instruments, tempos and keys freely,
allowing you to use it in many different ways.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to
this product for any purpose other than private, personal
enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is
prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be
copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without
the permission of the copyright holder.
■
The HPi-7 allows you to use
the following music files
●
Floppy disks saved on a Roland MT Series, or Roland Piano
Digital HP-G/R/i and KR Series instrument
●
Roland Digital Piano Compatible Music Files
Roland’s original music file is made specifically for practicing the
piano. Some follow an instructional curriculum, allowing for a
complete range of lessons, such as “practicing each hand
separately” or “listening to only the accompaniment.”
●
SMF Music Files (720KB/1.44MB format)
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file
that was formulated so that files containing music file could be
widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for
Karaoke, etc.
* If you wish to purchase SMF Music Files, please consult the
retailer where you purchased your HPi-7.
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on a compatible device (one
bearing the same logo), the lyrics will appear in its display.
■
About the HPi-7 Sound
Generator
The HPi-7 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs,
and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices.
Sound generating devices and music files that meets the General
MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the
General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI
sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical
performance.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up
where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available
sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound
generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI
1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
GS Format
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the
performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including
support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly
compatible GS Format additionally offers an expanded number of
sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many
details for a wide range of extra features, including effects such as
reverb and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format
can readily include new sounds and support new hardware features
when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM
Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music files that
have been created with the GS Format in mind). This product
supports both the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format, and can be
used to play back music data carrying either of these logos.
XG lite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the
structure and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI 1
specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation
format. You can play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone
generator. However, keep in mind that some music files may play
back differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set
of control parameters and effects.
