Important Notes
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 in another MIDI device
(e.g., a sequencer).
552
• 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.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, knobs, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
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
• 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.

Main Features
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano RP101.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the RP101’s functionality, please
read this owner’s manual carefully.
Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide Expressive Range

• This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is capable of faithfully
recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano, realistically reproducing even the finest details,
including the sound of the hammers striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 64 notes, it has ample
capability even for performances that make full use of pedaling.
The Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

• The PHA alpha II keyboard gives you a weighty playing feel in the low register while becoming lighter in the
high register, replicating the authentic feel of a piano.
• The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by the changing the depth to which
you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which subtle differences in pedaling will affect the
sound.
A Compact Cabinet that Fits Anywhere

• The newly designed cabinet projects a sense of elegant craftsmanship. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and
does not occupy excessive space.
• In addition to a sliding keyboard lid that stores inside the instrument, there’s a headphone hook for conveniently
storing your headphones when not using them.
Functionality to Assist Your Practicing

• With metronome and recorder functions, as well as 65 built-in songs, you can experience the kind of piano
lessons that are possible only with digital pianos.

• Turn the adjuster to lower it until the adjuster is in firm
contact with the floor. The pedal may be damaged if there
is a gap between the adjuster and the floor. In particular,
when you’ve placed the RP101 on carpet, you must turn
the adjuster until it is pressing firmly against the floor.
Adjuster
If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either

the left or right side of the stand to make it easier for
another person to turn the adjuster and make the
adjustment.
NOTE
After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if the

front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it
makes firm contact with the floor.
NOTE
Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard

(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).

■ What’s MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
RP101
international standard which allows performance information
to be communicated among electronic musical instruments and
computers.
The RP101 provides MIDI connectors, which allow
performance data to be exchanged with external devices.
When these connectors are used to connect the RP101 to
external devices, an even wider range of possibilities becomes
available.
