Owner’s Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP101.
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.
Keyboard and Three Pedals Faithfully Reproduce That True Grand
Piano Feel
This instrument features a compact 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.
The three pedals are designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle
performance nuances to be expressed.
Luxurious Wood-Grain Design
Featuring an elegant, wood-grain cabinet, the compact design of this fine instrument
ensures it uses a minimum of space.
In addition to a sliding keyboard lid, the HP101 also features a convenient
headphone hook where you can hang your headphones when they are not in use.
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.

      Michael CarneyAug 21, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from your Roland Musical Instrument, there are a few things to check: * Ensure the volume isn't turned all the way down. * Make sure headphones or plugs are not connected to the Phones jack, as this will prevent sound from playing through the speakers. * Verify that Local Control is set to “On,” because when it is set to OFF, the keyboard won't produce any sound. * Check if V-LINK is switched on, as this will prevent sound from the twelve keys on the left end of the keyboard.

    Why does the bass range sound odd or have a vibrating resonance on my Roland Musical Instrument?
    • R
      Ryan Blackwell MDAug 26, 2025
      If you're experiencing an odd sound or vibrating resonance in the bass range of your Roland Musical Instrument when listening through speakers, it might be due to the instrument causing other objects to resonate, especially at loud volumes or with increased bass. Try these steps to reduce the resonance: * Position the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls and other surfaces. * Lower the volume. * Move the speakers away from objects that are resonating.

    How to troubleshoot a high-pitched whine from my Roland Musical Instrument?
    • L
      Larry ChangAug 28, 2025
      If you hear a high-pitched whine from your Roland Musical Instrument through headphones, it could be due to the piano tones having a strong high-end component, which sounds like metallic reverberation, especially with heavy reverb. You might be able to reduce the whine by decreasing the amount of reverb applied to the sound.
