Main Features
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP201.
To ensure that you obtain the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the HP201’s functionality, please
read this owner’s manual carefully.
• 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 128 notes, it has ample
capability even for performances that make full use of pedaling.
• The Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA 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.
• 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.
• There’s a metronome, a recorder function, and built-in song, so you can experience the kind of piano lessons
that are possible only with a digital piano.
• There’s a USB (MIDI) connector for connection to your computer, allowing you to play the HP201 using data
from your computer, or to use your computer for even more versatile music production and editing.
The HP201’s sound generator supports the GM2 system, GS format, and XG lite, allowing you to enjoy
impressive ensemble performances by using your computer or sequencer to play back commercially available
music in these formats.
