Roland Electronic Keyboard MP 60 User Guide

Owner’s Manual  
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano MP-60.  
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 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal  
freely without running out of notes.  
Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano  
These instruments feature a 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.  
The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance  
nuances to be expressed.  
A Variety of Practice Features to Help You Develop Your Musicality  
In addition to a metronome, the MP-60 features a two-track recorder, which allows  
you to experience piano lessons in a way possible only on electronic pianos.  
65 Piano Songs Built-In  
The internal songs are mainly classical pieces, and include compositions for listening  
enjoyment as well as for lessons.  
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS” (p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3, 4), and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p.  
5). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.  
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided  
by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and  
kept on hand as a convenient reference.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,  
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
308  
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the  
POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the  
unit has been completely disconnected from the source of  
power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn  
off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the  
power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you  
choose to connect the power cord's plug should be one that is  
within easy reach and readily accessible.  
Additional Precautions  
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, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks  
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

normal operation.  
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.  
558aTo 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).  
352b  
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,  
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.  
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or  
while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you  
should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater  
distance from this unit, or switch them off.  
559bWhen 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.  
354b  
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices  
that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or  
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not  
allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light  
source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or  
powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit  
for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or  
discolor the unit.  
562  
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using  
some other make of connection cable, please note the  
following precautions.  
• 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 infor-  
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-  
turer of the cable.  
355b  
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-  
ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets  
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or  
malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this  
condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it  
to stand for several hours, until the condensation has  
completely evaporated.  
• 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.  
356  
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on  
the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or  
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.  
358  
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This  
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to  
produce sound.  
359  
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.  
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the  
exterior finish.

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).

Continue to hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button, and press a note to  
indicate the tonic of the key to which you want to transpose.  
The button’s indicator will light, and the keyboard will be transposed.  
When you hold down the  
[TRANSPOSE] button, the  
currently specified value will  
be displayed.  
You can also transpose by holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button and pressing the  
[+] or [-] button.  
If you hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the [+] and [-] buttons  
simultaneously, the setting will return to the original value (0).  
This can be set in a range of -6–0–5 (semitone steps).  
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold down  
the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E key.  
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black  
keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.

Playing Along with the Internal Songs  
Here’s how you can play along with the internal songs.  
You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately.  
Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the  
song.  
For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a Song and Playing It” (p. 10).  
If you turn on the metronome  
while the song plays back, the  
metronome will sound at the  
beat and tempo of the song.  
Changing the Tempo  
If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice  
it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice.

During the count-in, the count  
measure is indicated in the  
display as “-2” then “-1.”  
When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in  
time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.  
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.”  
On the MP-60, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two  
measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.

Making Detailed Settings  
(Function)  
On an acoustic piano, depressing the damper pedal makes  
the notes you play resonate with other strings, adding rich  
reverberations and fatness to the sound. The damper pedal  
on the MP-60 recreates this resonance (sympathetic  
resonance) when depressed.  
You can make performance-related settings such as tuning  
and temperament.  
How to enter function mode  
1. Hold down the [ON/OFF] button, and press the [BEAT]

Pitches (Master Tuning)  
This tuning, devised by the philoso-

nance in fourths and fifths.  
Dissonance is produced by third-in-  
terval chords, but melodies are eu-  
phonious.  
In situations such as when playing ensemble with other  
pitch of another instrument. The standard pitch generally  
refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger  
the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a  
standard pitch is called “tuning.”

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic  
temperaments (tuning methods).  
Today, compositions are generally created with equal  
temperament in mind and are played using equal  
temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a  
variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition  
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the  
chords that the composer originally intended.  
Power-up default setting 1 C

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament,  
you need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be

Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings  
Preventing the Settings from  
Changing During Performance  
A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range  
and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This  
special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”  
Disabling Everything Except  
Piano Play (Panel Lock)  
The “Panel Lock” function locks the MP-60 in a state where  
only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be  
disabled. That way, you won’t get switched to the wrong  
settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you’re  
playing.  
If you press the [HARPSICHORD] button in step 2 of  
“Making Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like  
the following will appear.

In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be  
played.  
1. Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the

This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right  
choice when using Dual play (p. 12), or when  
playing in ensemble with other instruments.  
2. Hold down the [PIANO] button and press the [Power]  
switch to turn on the power.  
On  
This tuning curve expands the bass and treble  
ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances  
such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when  
you turn on the power.  
Then, continue to hold down these two buttons for a few  
seconds.  
The following display will appear.  
fig.disp—-  
Power-up default setting On  
This effect works only with the piano tones.  
Adjust the volume.  
When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound  
will be heard.  
When you are using Split play (p. 13), you can apply the  
damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand  
keyboard range.  
To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down  
to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.  
Disabling the Buttons When  
Using a Tone Other Than Piano

The MP-60 provides MIDI connectors, which allow  
performance data to be exchanged with external devices.  
When these connectors are used to connect the MP-60 to  
external devices, an even wider range of possibilities  
becomes available.

Cause/Remedy  
Case  
Cause/Remedy  
On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one  
and a half octaves of the keyboard continue to  
sound until they decay naturally, regardless of  
the damper pedal. There is a difference in the  
timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully  
simulate such characteristics of the acoustic  
piano. On the MP-60, the range that is unaf-  
fected by the damper pedal will change de-  
pending on the Key Transpose setting.  
When listening through speakers:  
Playing at loud volumes may cause in-  
struments near the MP-60 to resonate.  
Resonation can also occur with fluores-  
cent light tubes, glass doors, and other ob-  
jects. In particular, this problem occurs  
more easily when the bass component is  
increased, and when the sound is played  
at higher volumes. Use the following mea-  
sures to suppress such resonance.  
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm  
from walls and other surfaces.  
In the upper range,  
the sound changes  
abruptly beyond a  
certain key  
The bass range  
sounds odd, or  
there is a vibrating  
resonance  
When listening through headphones:  
Some of the more flamboyant and effer-  
vescent piano tones feature an ample  
high-end component, which may make  
the sound appear to have metallic rever-  
beration  
• Reduce the volume.  
• Move the speakers away from any  
resonating objects.  
When listening through headphones:  
Here, a different cause (such as resonance  
produced by the MP-60) would be sus-  
pect. Consult your Roland dealer or near-

added. Since this reverberation becomes  
particularly audible when supplemented  
by heavy reverb, you may be able to di-  
minish the problem by reducing the
