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 (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.

???The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

???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.

Placement

???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.

???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 off.

???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 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.

???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.

???Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard or pedal board. 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 off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

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 finish.

???Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

???Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit???s memory 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.

???A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.

???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.

???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).

???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.

???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.

???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 encoun- tered, 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.

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration above.

Even if the cord is fastened, strong tension applied to the cord may cause it to be damaged or broken. Be careful not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pressure to it.

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device or the metal portions of other objects connected to it. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the ???Information??? page.

Unsuitable places for connection

???Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

???Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

???Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

About the Pedals

For more on connecting the DP-900's pedals, refer to p. 8.

??? Pedal Functions

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. Some tones are affected less than others.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound.

While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be added to the sound after you release from the keys.

This is the same function as the right pedal of an acoustic piano.

Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on may cause the pedal???s effect to be applied without stopping. The power of the DP-900 must be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal cord.

Connecting Headphones

(Sold Separately)

The DP-900 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night.

Connect the headphones to either of the headphone jacks.

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob of the DP-900.

Use stereo headphones that have a 1/4??? phone plug.

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 DP-900 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.

Opening and Closing the Lid

Always use two hands to open and close the lid. Although the DP-900's lid is designed to close slowly and

gently when it is released, the lid immediately closes if it has been opened only slightly. Take care not to allow your fingers to become pinched by the lid.

??? Opening the Lid

1. Grasp and lift the lid with both hands.

2.Close the blind and open the music rest as shown in the figure.

Changing the Damper Pedal???s

Resonance

On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal on the DP-900 recreates this resonance (sympathetic resonance) when depressed.

You can select from eight levels of depth for the resonant sound (resonance level).

This is set to ???5??? when the instrument is turned on.

*This setting is valid only for some piano tones. It cannot be made for other tones.

???Tuning to Other Instruments??? Pitches (Master Tuning)

In situations such as when playing ensemble with other instruments, you can tune the DP-900???s reference 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.???

If you press the [Piano] button in step 2 of ???Making Detailed Settings (Function)??? (p. 31), a display like the following will appear.

The last three digits are indicated in the display. ???440.0 Hz??? is indicated in the figure above.

This setting remains in effect until you turn off the power.

??? Changing the 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. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

If you press the [E.Piano] button in step 2 of ???Making Detailed Settings (Function)??? (p. 31), a display like the following will appear.

Temperament Tonic

You can choose from among the seven temperaments described below.

Tonic

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the keynote 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).

While hold down the [E. Piano] button, and press a note to specify the desired tonic key.

The tonic note you specify will be displayed as follows.

If you choose an equal temperament, there???s no need to select

akeynote.

*If you record with a temperament other than equal temperament selected, and then want to play back that performance, use this setting to select the same temperament for playback as the temperament you used when recording.

*When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be aware that depending on the key, there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the DP-900 to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments.

???Setting the Tuning Curve (Stretch Tuning)

A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This special tuning method for pianos is called ???Stretch Tuning.??? If you press the [Harpsichord] button in step 2 of ???Making Detailed Settings (Function)??? (p. 31), a display like the following will appear.

??? This effect works only with the piano tones.

???Applying the Damper Pedal to the Left-hand Keyboard Area

When you are using Split play (p. 18), you can apply the damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand keyboard range.

If you press the [Organ] button in step 2 of ???Making Detailed Settings (Function)??? (p. 31), a display like the following will appear.

Preventing the Settings from Changing During Performance

??? Tone Lock

You can set the instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in effect at that time will be maintained). This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if children press the buttons accidentally.

1.Hold down the [Brilliance] button and press the [Key Touch] button.

Connecting MIDI Devices

By connecting an external MIDI device and exchanging performance data, you can control the performances on one device from the other. For instance, you can output sound from the other instrument or switch tones on the other instrument.

??? What???s MIDI?

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an international standard which allows performance information to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and computers.

The DP-900 provides MIDI connectors, which allow performance data to be exchanged with external devices. When these connectors are used to connect the DP-900 to external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes available.

*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.

Connection Examples

*To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

How to exit function mode

4.Press either the [Metronome] button or the [Beat] button.

The button???s indicator will return to the previous state.

??? MIDI Send Channel Settings

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1-16. Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.

*The DP-900 receives all channels 1-16.

*If you are using Dual play (p. 17) or Split play (p. 18) on the DP-900, only the channel you specify here will be transmitted.

If you press the [Strings] button in step 2 of ???Making MIDI- related settings,??? a display like the following will appear.

??? Switching Local Control on and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to ???Off.???

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as ???Local Off.???

(1)Local On

(2) Thru function On

Each note played is sounded twice

Local Control ON: The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in a linked state.

Sound is emitted

Local Control OFF: The keyboard and the internal sound generator are in an unlinked state. No sound will be produced by the keyboard when it is played.

No sound produced

*When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it is not necessary to make the Local Off setting. MT units transmit

Local Off messages when their power is switched on. If you turn on the power in the order of the DP-900 ??? MT series,

Local Off will be set automatically.

If you press the [Variation] button in step 2 of ???Making MIDI-related settings,??? a display like the following will appear.

???Transmitting a Performance You Recorded

If you want to transmit a performance recorded on the DP-900 to an external MIDI device or computer, turn this setting ???On.??? If this is ???Off,??? the data will not be transmitted.

If you press the [Play] button in step 2 of ???Making MIDI- related settings,??? a display like the following will appear.

If you wish to save the performance, use the following procedure. In this situation, your external sequencer is set its MIDI Thru feature to be OFF. For details, refer to the owner???s manual of your MIDI sequencer.

1.Connect a MIDI sequencer such as the MT series (p. 34).

2.Record the performance on the DP-900 (p. 27).

3.Set this setting to ???On.???

4.Start recording with the connected MIDI device.

5.Start playback of the recorded song on the DP- 900.

6.When playback ends, stop recording with the connected MIDI device.

7.Use a connected MIDI sequencer to save the data on a floppy disk or other media.

If you think there???s a problem, read this first.

If you can???t hear the problem in the headphones:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the DP- 900) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Ro- land Service Center.
