Owner's Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RD-100 Digital Piano.
The RD-100 is the perfect entry-level digital stage piano with nine outstanding sounds, 64-voice polyphony, and numer-
ous other functions that will prove useful to performing artists, music students, and teachers alike.
To get the most out of the RD-100 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this man-
ual thoroughly.
* To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and only use “key” when referring
to the RD-100’s keyboard.
