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.
