Visual Lesson: your own personal tutor

The DigiScore LCD screen is built right into the music

rest for easy viewing. It displays the notation of all

internal songs, of commercially available Standard

MIDI Files, of music files you download off the

Internet, or of your own recorded

performances. A “Bouncing ball”

on the staff helps keep time

visually as you play, while the

DigiScore “turns the pages” for

you. It’s perfect for lessons.

The HPi-Series incorporates Roland’s latest stereo-sampled piano sounds, for superb piano

playing realism. Its Damper Resonance reproduces the rich, “free-vibration” resonance sound of

the strings obtained when playing an acoustic piano with the damper pedal pressed. The HPi-7

also produces other realistic acoustic piano nuances, including Lid, String Resonance*, and

Hammer Response**. In addition, its new velocity-sensitive Key-off Resonance piano tones

re-create the subtle sound nuance of the damper touching the strings upon key release. On both

models, the Touch settings let you adjust the key touch to suit your finger strength.

Roland’s popular Wonderland section, now with a Flash Card on

the HPi-7, offers 8 educational games (5 games on HPi-5)

designed to help children have fun while learning about music. Kids

can choose from 8 entertaining

metronome sounds (7 sounds on

HPi-5) to help encourage them in

their lessons. These include:

electronic sound, pendulum

metronome, human voice, dog,

and cat.

The Pianist feature creates automatic accompaniment in

35 music styles (30 on HPi-5), from classical to jazz to

bossa nova. It makes lessons more fun, and helps devel-

op a sense of rhythm. And it’s great for making music files.

The HPi-7’s connectors are conveniently located at the

front of the instrument for easy

access. It has two headphone

jacks, and MIDI and USB ports.

The Mic Input with Echo is great

for karaoke. There’s also a handy

hook for the headphones.

The HPi-7’s Edit function lets you add optional

finger numbering right into the notation, change

the length of the song, or edit any note in the

music files. And it’s easy, because you can do it all

while looking at the music. Also, your music file

notation can be saved as a bitmap file, which you

can print out using your PC.

The HPi-7’s wider display lets you

split the screen, to set the

metronome while looking at the

notation as it plays back, or to

show the notation and the lyrics

at the same time.

The new Visual Lesson feature (HPi-7 only) acts as your personal interactive

music tutor. It has three courses. Each of these includes independent exercis-

es, 10 songs with variable levels, and Practice, Check, and Review screens.

Visual Lesson also works with all internal songs, as well as Standard MIDI

Files—so there’s literally no limit to the number of songs you can use.

Areas of your performance that need extra attention are

“marked” right onscreen. Incorrect pitch is marked in

red. Incorrect rhythm is marked in blue. Extra notes are

marked in green. It's truly interactive!

The notes you play appear

instantly on the onscreen notation.

When you finish playing, the HPi-7 grades

the accuracy of your pitch and rhythm, and provides

simple onscreen advice.

3 Visual Lesson Courses:

Beginner’s Course—for practicing with right hand only

Repertoire Course—for mastering your favorite songs

Challenge Course—for checking your playing skills

*String Resonance accurately reproduces the subtle and varied sympathetic string vibration caused

on an acoustic piano when a key is pressed while other keys are already being held down. (HPi-7)

**Hammer Response delivers the slightly slower hammer movement and sound characteristic of a

grand piano when played softly. (HPi-7)

HPi-7’s Lid function simulates

the changes in sound that

occur as you open or close

the lid of a grand piano.
