IMPORTANT NOTES

291b

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2,

3, 4 and 5, 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.

306b

• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these

batteries may be limited, however, since their primary

purpose was to enable testing.

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 and readily acces-

sible.

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 inter-

ference.

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 initi-

ating 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.

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

temperature and/or humidity is very different, 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.

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 (revise)

•Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as

that found on finely 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.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or

deformation.

403

• The pedals of this unit are made of brass.\nBrass

eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidization

process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using

commercially available metal polisher.

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 USB

memory, 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.

RG-7_e.book 6 ページ２００５年２月１４日　月曜日　午前９時４５分

IMPORTANT NOTES

Automatic Keyboard

Add

•While the automatic keyboard is in operation, avoid doing

anything that could hamper the action of the keys, such as

using undue force to press a key, or forcing up a

depressed key. By doing so, you risk causing malfunction.

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 USB memory.

552

•Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

of data that was stored on a USB memory and internal

memory 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 stand 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 precautions.

• 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 infor-

mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-

turer 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.

Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-7 Digital Grand Piano.

The RG-7 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.

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

Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style

The RG-7 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.

Full Complement of Player Piano Functions

The RG-7 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-7’s “Favorites.”

The RG-7 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-7 for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide

shows.

Instrument Endowed with Superior Basic Functions

The RG-7 uses the progressive hammer action keyboard, which reproduces the touch of a grand piano, with

a heavier feel in the lower registers and a lighter, quicker response in the upper registers. This keyboard also

accurately reproduces the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when the keys are played gently (escapement

mechanism).

The instrument further is equipped with highly responsive pedals, which lend even greater expressive detail

to your performances.

The RG-7 also is programmed with 20 carefully selected performance tones, including two types of grand

piano tones, which you can select according to your own taste. What’s more, the settings for the “key touch,”

“hammer response,” and other precision tone adjustment settings that performers demand can be stored in

the RG-7 itself.

On top of this, a newly designed sound system puts the focus on the sound of the piano to achieve a luscious,

natural piano sound.

Introduction

Professional-Level Features and Specifications

The instrument features a lid lock to prevent unauthorized operation of the controls or keys while the Moving

Key function is in use, and an Ext Memory port lock to prevent theft of connected USB memory.

Since the RG-7 is a digital instrument, it has no strings and therefore requires no tuning.

You can connect an external display or television to the piano to run slide shows using whatever images you

prefer and, with a microphone connected, you can add echo and harmonies to microphone vocals and use the

Transformer function to change the sound of the vocals.

Connect External Speakers to Produce Concert Hall Presence

You can connect an amp and speakers to the RG-7 and play the sounds of the reverb and accompaniment

through the external speakers to produce the effect of being enveloped by an orchestra.

The RG-7 is equipped with XLR connectors, a very convenient feature when the instrument is used on stage.

Before You Start Playing

Opening and Closing the Top

Opening only the front top

Children must not be permitted to open or close the top

on their own—adult supervision is required. Because the

top is very heavy, always use two or more people when

opening and closing the top, and be sure to handle it

carefully.

Lift the right front (the upper note side: A in the figure)

of the board with both hands, fold it back, and then lay

it down slowly on the top.

fig.

Opening both the front top and the top

Follow Step 1 to open the front top. Then lift the right

front (the upper note side B: in the figure) of the board

with both hands.

fig.

While holding up the top with one hand, lift up the top

stick and insert its end into the appropriate top slip.

fig.

Do not move the piano with the top in the open position.

The top stick may disengage from the socket, causing the

top to fall.

When opening the top, be careful not to open it too far.

Opening the top at an angle in excess of 30 degrees may

damage the unit, or cause the top to drop. Also, before

opening the top, make sure that no one is in the path of

the top as it is opened.

About the Topsticks and Topslip

The RG-7 has two topsticks, each a different length.

You can use the different topsticks to change the amount the

top is left open.

fig.

The following describes the fitting of the lid props and their

corresponding topslips.

The long top stick: for inner top slip (C)

The short top stick: for outer top slip (D)

If you use the wrong top slip, the top stick could slip out

of the top slip, causing the top to fall. Make sure that the

end of the top stick is inserted securely into the top slip.

To close the top, reverse the opening procedure.

Raising the Music Rest

fig.

Open the front top (p. 17).

Hold the music rest with both hands, then raise it

forward.

While supporting the music rest with one hand, adjust

the angle of the music rest with the brace behind the

music rest.

■

Extending the Music Rest

The music rest can be pulled forward to make your sheet

music easier to read.

When extending the music rest, be sure to grasp the

music rest with both hands and gently pull it forward.

fig.

Pulling the music rest too far forward may cause it to

separate and fall; be sure not to overextend the music

rest.

Opening and Closing the Lid

fig.

To open the lid, hold handles with both hands and lift

it straight up. Then, slide it to the rear.

To close the lid, hold handles with both hands and

slowly pull it forward until it stops. Then, gently lower

it into place.

When opening and closing the lid, be careful not to let

your fingers get caught. Small children should use it

only under the supervision of an adult.

When moving the piano, for safety’s sake be sure to close

the lid first.

NOTE

Make sure you don’t have anything (such as sheet

music) on the keyboard when you close the lid.

■

Using the Lid Lock

You can lock the keyboard lid with the lid covering the

control panel (front panel) to prevent it from being opened,

thus avoiding inadvertent changes during automatic

performances.

Lower the lid until the control panel (the front panel) is

covered.

Turn the lid lock under the piano as shown in the

figure below to lock the lid.

Adjusting the Sound’s

Volume and Brilliance

Turn the [Volume] knob to adjust the overall volume.

Turn the [Brilliance] knob to adjust the brightness of

the sound.

fig.00-07.e

The mark at the top of the [Volume] knob indicates the

volume level typically produced by an acoustic piano.

This is usually the most appropriate volume for your

piano performances.

You can adjust the volume with the remote control. For

details, refer to “About the Remote Control” (p. 34).

About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used

mainly for piano performance.

fig.00-08.e

Damper pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after

you take your fingers off the keys.

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 RG-7 simulates this Damper Resonance.

You can change the amount of resonance applied with

the damper pedal. Please refer to “Producing the

Resonance of the Strings When the Keys Are Played

(Damper Resonance)” (p. 59).

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.

You can assign functions to the left and center pedals.

Refer to “Assigning Functions to Pedals” (p. 69).

Before You Start Playing

Connecting Headphones

The RG-7 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This

allows two people to listen through headphones

simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and

performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this

allows you to play without bothering others around you,

even at night.

fig.00-04.e

Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located in

the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-7.

Connecting headphones will automatically mute the

sound from the internal speakers.

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume]

knob of the RG-7.

NOTE

Use Stereo headphones.

Some Notes on Using Headphones

• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones

only by the headset or the plug.

• Connecting the headphones when the volume of

connected equipment is turned up may result in damage

to the headphones. Lower the volume on the RG-7

before plugging in the headphones.

•Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only

damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing

loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

Connecting a Microphone

You can connect a microphone into the Mic jack, and enjoy

karaoke with the RG-7.

fig.00-10

Connect a microphone (sold separately) to the Mic jack

located in the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-7.

Rotate the Mic Volume knob in front of the Mic jack to

adjust the volume level for the microphone.

Adjust the mic echo (p. 39).

Some Notes on Using a Microphone

•Be careful of high volume levels when using microphone

late at night or early in the morning.

• When connecting a microphone to the RG-7, be sure to

lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when

the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by

the speakers.

• Howling could be produced depending on the location

of microphones relative to speakers. This can be

remedied by:

- Changing the orientation of the microphone.

- Relocating microphone at a greater distance from

speakers.

- Lowering volume levels.

Chapter 1. Playing Back Songs

Look at What You Can Do with the RG-7!

Listen to the Internal Songs

The various internal songs programmed in the RG-7 are categorized into “Jazz” and

“Classical” genres. You can play back the songs in these genres in a variety of ways,

playing all the songs in sequence or randomly, or just playing songs individually.

Listen to the Included CD and Commercial Audio CDs

You can use the RG-7’s CD drive to play the included CD, CD-ROMs containing

saved SMF music files, commercial audio CDs, and player piano CDs.

Listen to Songs Saved to USB Memory

Not only can you play CDs, you can also play back SMF music files saved on USB

memory. In addition, you can connect USB memory and copy song data recorded

with the RG-7 to the USB memory.

Store Songs in the “Favorites”

The RG-7 is set at the factory with tone demos registered in the “Favorites.” Listen

to the tone demos to check out the special characteristics of each tone.

Additionally, you can save songs recorded with the RG-7 to the “Favorites” and you

can copy songs stored in USB memory to the “Favorites” as well. Songs held in the

“Favorites” are not lost when the power is turned off, making this a convenient place

to store those songs you listen to often.

Easy-to-Use Remote Control Included

You can use the included remote control to start and stop the current performance

and switch songs. You can also use the remote control to select what is to be

displayed on an external screen or television set connected to the RG-7 and assign

other functions to the remote control’s buttons to make operating the RG-7 even

simpler.

Connect a Microphone for Karaoke Performances

Connect a microphone to the RG-7, and you are ready to enjoy karaoke. You can

change the key of the song to match the singer’s voice and adjust the amount of echo

applied to the microphone input. In addition, the RG-7 includes functions for adding

harmonies and effects (Transformer) to vocals.

Changing the Timing of Sounds According to the

Force Used to Press the Keys

(Hammer Response)

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the note

sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.

On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string to

produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly, meaning

that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played note) from the

moment you press the key until the sound is produced.

If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the moment you

press a key until the sound is heard will change depending on the strength with

which you play. As you play more softly, this time will become longer.

Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the Preferred

Tone Quality (Equalizer)

The RG-7 features a built-in, three-band digital equalizer.

An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the

sound balance for the overall performance. For example, you can boost the highs to

get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.

You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the

performance space.

If raising the values for separate frequencies causes the sound to distort, you can use

the “Master Level” (see below) to control such distortion.

Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light.

Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to display

the EQUALIZER screen.

Value Description

Master

(Master Level)

You can temper the distortion in the sound by lowering

the level. Raising the level too much may cause the sound

to become distorted.

L (Low)

Low-frequency range. This is the range of frequencies for

instruments like drums, bass, organ, guitar and strings.

M (Middle)

Midrange. This is the range of frequencies where most

instrument sounds are concentrated.

H (High)

High-frequency range. These frequencies add brilliance to

the sound.

Changing the Pitch of the Keyboard

Sound (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without

changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with

numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you

to play. When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range

that is comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with

the same fingering positions).

Press the [Function] (Exit) button so the indicator is lit.

Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to display

the TRANSPOSE screen.

This can be set in a range of -6–0–+5 (semitone steps).

When Link is set to “Off,” you

can transpose the song and the

notes from the keyboard

separately.

Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches

(Master Tuning)

In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune

the RG-7’s standard pitch to the pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch

generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A

key. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “tuning.”

Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light.

Press the [Song] (Select -) button or [ ] (Select +) button to display

Setting the Tuning Curve

(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.”

A graph that shows the changes in pitch of actual tuning compared with the changes

in equal temperament pitch is called a tuning curve. Changing the tuning curve

produces subtle variations in the reverberations of the chords you play.

Press the [Function] (Exit) button, getting its indicator to light.

Changing the Tuning

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.

Display Qualities

Equal

In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal

steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of

slight dissonance.

Just(Maj)

This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fifths and thirds.

It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be

transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.

Just(min)

The Just tunings differ from major and minor keys. You

can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the

major scale.

Kirnberger

This is an improvement of the Mean Tone and Just tunings

that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation.

Performances are possible in all keys (III).

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras,

eliminates dissonance in fourths and fifths. Dissonance is

produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are

euphonious.

Mean Tone

This scale makes some compromises in just intonation,

enabling transposition to other keys.

What’s MIDI?

MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was

developed as a universal standard for the exchange of

performance data between electronic instruments and

computers.

The RG-7 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it

exchange performance data with external devices. These

connectors can be used to connect the RG-7 to an external

device for even greater versatility.

*A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also

available. It provides complete details concerning the way

MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require

this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-

level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service

Center or authorized Roland distributor.

Sending Tone Change Messages

(Program Change/Bank Select

MSB/Bank Select LSB)

A Program Change is a message that means “change to the

Tone of the specified number.” The device that receives this

changes to the Tone of the corresponding number.

When you choose a Program Change message (Program

Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the

MIDI device connected to the RG-7. The MIDI device that

receives the Program Number changes the tone to the

corresponding Program Number.

Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available.

Some MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones.

With such devices, the Tone is selected through a

combination of Program Change messages and Bank Select

messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select message: the

MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) and the LSB

(Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).

* Some MIDI instruments can’t handle Bank Select messages.

Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not recognize the LSB

part.

Reverberation still

audible even with

Reverb turned off

Since the RG-7’s piano sounds

accurately reproduce the depth and

reverberation of the original acoustic

piano, you may find that reverberation

is audible when the Key Off function is

enabled.

If you want to eliminate the

reverberation, turn off the Key Off

function (p. 57).

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 RG-7, the

range that is unaffected by the damper

pedal will change depending on the

Key Transpose setting.

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 RG-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 RG-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.

o Place speakers so they are 10-15 cm

from walls and other surfaces.

o Reduce the volume.

o Move the speakers away from any

resonating objects.

When listening through headphones:

Here, a different cause (such as

resonance produced by the RG-7)

would be suspect. Consult your Roland

dealer or nearest Roland Service

Center.

Case Cause/Remedy

Song doesn’t play back correctly

Song doesn’t play

Music Files That the RG-7 Can Use

What Are Music Files?

Music files contains musical information such as how long

the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied

to the key played, and other such information. Performance

data is transmitted to the RG-7 from music files saved in USB

memory and played back without change as songs. This is

different than a audio 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 RG-7 allows you to use the

following music files

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.

The RG-7 come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.

■

About the RG-7 Sound

Generator

The RG-8 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.
