Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-3 Digital Grand Piano.

The RG-3 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

• 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.

• The RG-3 features an “ivory feel” keyboard, which thanks to the latest technology, reproduces the comfortable

touch and feel of ivory (used for the white keys) and ebony (used for the black keys), materials reputed to be the

best for use for piano keyboards. The white keys are made using a two-piece construction consisting of a surface

material added to the basic key material. They have a natural appearance and just the right rigidity and response.

• The RG-3 promises superior performance with features such as Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II), which

reproduces the touch of a grand piano and provides a heavier feel in the lower registers, and lighter, quicker

response in the upper registers, while also accurately reproducing the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when

the keys are played gently (escapement).

• The instrument has been treated to provide antibacterial protection, so you can enjoy long years of clean, worry-

free use.

• The RG-3 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.

• The RG-3 comes pre-programmed with internal jazz and classical song data.

You can also connect a commercially available USB CD drive or optional floppy disk drive to play CD-ROMs

containing saved SMF files, audio CDs, and a variety of other song data. What’s more, you can add to your

collection of song data by copying songs stored on USB memory, on floppy disks, and on CD-ROMs to the RG-

3’s “Favorites.”

• Also included is a convenient remote control, which you can use for selecting songs, adjusting volume balances,

and even for switching the images that appear in external displays—simply and easily.

You can connect an external display or television set to the RG-3 for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen,

karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide shows.
