					• 
					If you need to move the instrument, take note of   
					the precautions listed below. At least two persons   
					are required to safely lift and move the unit. It   
					should be handled carefully, all the while keeping   
					it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect   
					yourself from injury and the instrument from   
					damage.   
					• 
					Protect the unit from strong impact.   
					(Do not drop it!)   
					..........................................................................................................   
					015   
					• 
					Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share   
					an outlet with an unreasonable number of other   
					devices. Be especially careful when using   
					1 
					extension cords—the total power used by all   
					devices you have connected to the extension   
					cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating   
					(watts/ amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive   
					loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat   
					up and eventually melt through.   
					• Check to make sure the screws securing the unit   
					to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them   
					again securely whenever you notice any   
					loosening.

				IMPO RTAN T N O TES   
					291a   
					In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2, please read and observe the following:   
					Po w e r Su p p ly   
					301   
					Ma in te n a n ce   
					401b   
					• 
					Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any   
					device that will generate line noise (such as an electric   
					motor or variable lighting system).   
					• 
					To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is   
					slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an   
					equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the   
					grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can   
					damage the finish.   
					302   
					• 
					When the AC adaptor is used for extended periods, both   
					the adaptor itself, and the area around the F-90’s DC In   
					connector will become somewhat warm; however, this   
					does not indicate a malfunction.   
					402   
					• 
					Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any   
					kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/ or   
					deformation.   
					307   
					• 
					Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the   
					power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions   
					and/ or damage to speakers or other devices.   
					Ad d itio n a l Pre ca u tio n s   
					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.   
					Pla ce m e n t   
					351   
					• 
					Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment   
					containing large power transformers) may induce hum.   
					To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this   
					unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter-   
					ference.   
					556   
					• 
					When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the   
					connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you   
					will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s   
					internal elements.   
					352   
					557   
					• 
					• 
					This device may interfere with radio and television   
					reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such   
					receivers.   
					A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during   
					normal operation.   
					558a   
					• 
					354b   
					To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s   
					• 
					Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near   
					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).   
					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.   
					559a   
					• 
					When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box   
					(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,   
					you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.   
					355   
					562   
					• 
					• 
					To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet   
					area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.   
					Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using   
					some other make of connection cable, please note the   
					following precautions.   
					356   
					• 
					Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain   
					on the piano for long periods of time. Such objects can   
					discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.   
					• 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.   
					357   
					• 
					Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower   
					vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of insecticides,   
					perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the   
					unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit   
					using a dry, soft cloth.   
					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 these off, particularly when strong adhesives have   
					been used, can damage the instrument’s exterior finish   
					(the stickers provided with this instrument feature a weak   
					adhesive).

					This pedal is used to make the sound softer.   
					Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that   
					is not as strong as when otherwise played with the   
					equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left   
					pedal of an acoustic piano.   
					Even if the cord is fastened, strong tension applied to the   
					cord may cause it to be damaged or broken. Be careful not to   
					pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pressure to it.   
					Some tones are affected less than others.

					In situations such as when playing ensemble with other   
					instruments, you can tune the F-90’s reference pitch to the   
					pitch of another instrument. The reference pitch generally   
					refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger   
					the middle A key.   
					You can transpose the key of a performance without having   
					to shift the position of your fingers on the keyboard.   
					This feature is called “Key Transpose.”   
					In situations such as when providing accompaniment to a   
					song, using the Key Transpose function to match the singer’s   
					vocal register lets you easily transpose the sounds without   
					changing the score.   
					For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or   
					more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s   
					reference pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments.   
					This tuning of all the instruments to a reference pitch is   
					called “master tuning.” You can set the reference pitch   
					anywhere in a range of 415.3 Hz to 466.2 Hz.   
					These settings remains in effect until you turn off the power.

					Read this chapter if you wish to connect the F-90 to an   
					Ma k in g th e Co n n e ctio n s   
					external MIDI device.   
					If the F-90 is connected to a MIDI sequencer, such as one   
					from the MT series, you can record your performance on the   
					MIDI sequencer. The rich variety of sounds built into the MT   
					series sequencer can be played from the keyboard of the F-90.   
					N O TE   
					To prevent malfunction and/ or damage to speakers or other   
					devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the   
					power on all devices before making any connections.   
					1 . Turn the volume down completely on all   
					Ab o u t MIDI

					MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,”   
					was developed as a standard for the exchange of   
					performance data between electronic instruments and   
					computers.   
					2 . Turn off the F-90 and any other devices to be   
					connected.   
					3 . Use the optional MIDI cable to connect the MIDI   
					connector on the external MIDI device to the   
					MIDI connector on the F-90.   
					The F-90 is equipped with MIDI connectors to allow   
					such exchange of performance data with external   
					equipment and devices. Connecting the keyboard to   
					other devices with these connectors provides you with   
					an even greater variety of ways to use your keyboard.

					When the F-90 is connected to a MIDI sequencer or the like,

					set it to Local Off.   
					As shown in the diagram, the data that is produced when   
					you play the keyboard will reach the sound generator by two

					If the F-90 is connected to a Roland MT series (except MT-   
					80s/ 90s), it is not necessary to make the Local Off setting.   
					When the power is turned on, the MT series will transmit a   
					Local Off message. If you turn the power on in the order of

					MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.   
					The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI   
					channels, otherwise no sound will be produced.   
					In a setup where you wish to play the F-90 and also have   
					another MIDI-equipped instrument or sound module play   
					the same notes, you should first set the channel used for   
					reception on your external device to the same channel that   
					you have the F-90 set to use for transmission.   
					
					means that if you are using a MIDI keyboard or MIDI   
					sequencer to play the F-90’s tones, messages will be received   
					on all channels, regardless of any MIDI channel settings. If   
					you want to receive only on a specific channel that a   
					connected MIDI device will be using, switch the F-90 to   
					Omni Off, then set the MIDI channel.   
					When the F-90 is turned on, Channel “1” is selected.   
					1 . While holding down the [Variation], and [Demo]   
					buttons, press the appropriate key (C5–D#6) on   
					the keyboard.   
					The MIDI transmit channel and receive channel will   
					switch to the number that corresponds to the note you

					If you are encountering problems with the unit, please read   
					the section below before assuming that there is a   
					malfunction.   
					Case   
					Cause/What to do   
					If you can’t hear the prob-   
					lem in the headphones:   
					When playing at high vol-   
					umes, resonance may oc-   
					cur in the piano itself or in   
					objects near the piano. At   
					times, other objects in the   
					room, such as fluorescent   
					lights or glass doors, could   
					start vibrating. Such phe-   
					nomenon becomes more   
					prevalent when sounding   
					the lower frequencies at   
					high volume. To minimize   
					such unwanted resonance,   
					please observe the follow-   
					ing:   
					Case   
					Cause/What to do   
					The piano cannot be   
					switched on   
					Is the AC adaptor properly   
					
					Is the [Volume] knob set to   
					
					Are the headphones connect-   
					
					No sound is produced   
					Is Local On/ Off set to “Off”?   
					
					Bass notes sound wrong/   
					buzzing or vibration oc-   
					curs   
					Is the speaker cable properly   
					
					- Locate the instrument so   
					it is 10-15 cm away from   
					walls.   
					- Reduce the volume.   
					- Increase the distance   
					from the object that is   
					resonating.   
					Depending on the setting for   
					volume balance, and the par-   
					ticular selection of tones you   
					make, certain tones may be   
					difficult to hear when layered.   
					Try adjusting volume balance   
					
					Only One Tone Plays in   
					Dual Play   
					If you can hear the problem   
					in the headphones:

					ulate such characteristics of   
					the acoustic piano. On the F-
