Introduction

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland KR Intelligent Piano.

While the KR Intelligent Piano certainly allows you to achieve authentic piano

performances, it also features easy-to-use Automatic Accompaniment and numerous

other useful 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.

The KR features a new speaker system, “grand piano presence system,” to provide

sounds with depth and spatial realism.

❍

Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

These instruments feature a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the

touch of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in

the upper register. In addition, even the distinctive “click” that you feel when pressing

a key on a grand piano has been faithfully simulated (escapement mechanism).

The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances

to be expressed.

❍

Get Easy Results with the Main Buttons

You can play songs, display scores, play the Automatic Accompaniment, select Tones,

and perform other main KR functions easily by pressing the main buttons found on both

sides of the screen.

With the

[Select/Listen to a Song] button

songs for piano practice to the latest hits. Pressing the

[Score Display] button

and songs on floppy disks.

With the

[Music Assistant] button

you can select a song you want to play, call up

Automatic Accompaniment settings that match that song, and while looking at the

chord score, perform with accompaniment added.

Thanks to the

[Select Various Tones] button

, which is used to select suggested Tones

from the more than 600 internal Tones; the

[Song Stylist] button

, which allows you to

listen to a variety of arrangements of the internal popular songs, and transform them

into rock, jazz, or other forms of music; and the

[Session Partner] button

you leave the chords and rhythm to the backing band, and give your performances the

feel of a group session, you can enjoy playing the KR in a great variety of creative ways.
