• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
307
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.
• 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.
308
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the
Maintenance
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 acces-
sible.
401b (edit)
• Since your piano has a polished finish that is as delicate as
that found on finely crafted wooden furniture, it needs
careful, periodic care. A few important suggestions
concerning the proper care of the unit follow.
• For dusting, using a soft, clean cloth and/or piano-use
feather duster. Be sure to wipe gently. Even the tiniest
grains of sand or grit can leave scratches on the surface
if too much force is applied while wiping. Do not use
any cleaners or detergents, since they might deteriorate
the surface of the cabinet, and produce cracks.
• If the cabinet’s surface loses its luster, wipe it
thoroughly with a soft cloth dampened with a little of
the polishing liquid. Do not use any cleaners or deter-
gents, since they might deteriorate the surface of the
cabinet, and produce cracks. Do not use dusting cloths
that contain chemicals.
Placement
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.
352a
• This device may interfere with radio and television
402
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such
receivers.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or
352b
deformation.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
403
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-
ating 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.
354b
Repairs and Data
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
452
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.
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up USB memory
or floppy disk, or written down on paper (when possible).
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data.
However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related
to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not
be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.

• The RG-3M features an “ivory feel” keyboard, which thanks to the latest technology, reproduces the comfortable
touch and feel of ivory (used for the white keys) and ebony (used for the black keys), materials reputed to be the
best for use for piano keyboards. The white keys are made using a two-piece construction consisting of a surface
material added to the basic key material. They have a natural appearance and just the right rigidity and response.
• The RG-3M promises superior performance with features such as Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II), which
reproduces the touch of a grand piano and provides a heavier feel in the lower registers, and lighter, quicker
response in the upper registers, while also accurately reproducing the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when
the keys are played gently (escapement).
Full Complement of Player Piano Functions
• The RG-3M includes a “Moving Key” function, which plays the keys along with the song, providing exquisite
performances that are played automatically.
• Also included is a convenient remote control you can use for selecting songs, adjusting volume, switching the
Moving Key function on and off simply and easily. You can connect an external display or television set to the
RG-3M for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide
shows.
• The RG-3M comes programmed with song data in jazz and classical styles. You can also use the CD drive to play
back a wide variety of music on the CD included with the instrument as well as songs on CD-ROMs containing
saved SMF files, player piano CDs, and audio CDs. Moreover, you can add song data by copying songs saved on
USB memory and CD-ROMs to the RG-3M’s “Favorites.”
Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style
• The RG-3M exhibits elegance in form with a beautiful black, mirror-like surface. With features just like those
found on an acoustic grand, such as a lid that opens and closes and retractable music rest, this instrument is a
perfect match for lounge or living room.
• The simple, modern, and stylish panel design makes switching tones and making settings a snap.

Introduction
Instrument Endowed with Superior Basic Functions
• The RG-3M also is programmed with 20 carefully selected performance tones, including two types of grand
piano tones, which you can select according to your own taste. What’s more, the settings for the “key touch,”
“hammer response,” and other precision tone adjustment settings that performers demand can be stored in the
RG-3M itself.
• On top of this, a newly designed sound system puts the focus on the sound of the piano to achieve a luscious,
natural piano sound.
Professional-Level Features and Specifications
• The RG-3M also includes a lid lock feature to prevent tampering during automatic performances and an Ext
Memory port lock to prevent theft of the connected USB memory.
• Since the RG-3M is a digital instrument, it has no strings and therefore requires no tuning.
• You can connect an external display or television to the piano to run slide shows using whatever images you
prefer and, with a microphone connected, you can add echo and harmonies to microphone vocals and use the
Transformer function to change the sound of the vocals.
Connect External Speakers to Produce Concert Hall Presence
• You can connect an amp and speakers to the RG-3M and play the sounds of the reverb and accompaniment
through the external speakers to produce the effect of being enveloped by an orchestra.
• The RG-3M is equipped with XLR connectors, a very convenient feature when the instrument is used on stage.

Fortissimo (ff) can be played with a lighter touch as the value is decreased, making
it feel like the keyboard has a lighter touch. This setting makes it easy to play, even
for children.
Increasing the value gives the instrument a heavier key touch. Fortissimo (ff) cannot
be produced unless you play more strongly than usual, making the keyboard feel
heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play.
A value of around 65 provides a standard setting, producing the most natural touch.
This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

Changing the Timing of Sounds According to the
Force Used to Press the Keys (Hammer Response)
You can save this setting in
the RG-3M’s memory using
the Memory Backup function
(p. 75).
This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the
note sounds. This is called the “Hammer Response” function.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a string
to produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move slowly,
meaning that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a strongly-played
note) from the moment you press the key until the sound is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the
moment you press a key until the sound is heard will change depending on
the strength with which you play. As you play more softly, this time will
become longer.

Troubleshooting
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 characteris-
tics of the acoustic piano.
On the RG-3M, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on
the Key Transpose setting.
In the upper range, the sound
changes abruptly beyond a
certain key
When listening through headphones:
Some of the more flamboyant and effervescent piano tones feature an ample high-end com-
ponent, which may make the sound appear to have metallic reverberation added.
Since this reverberation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy reverb,
you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb applied to the
sound.
A High-pitched whine is
produced
When listening through speakers:
Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the unit) would be suspect. Consult
your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the RG-3M to resonate.
Resonation can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In par-
ticular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is increased, and when the
sound is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance.
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from walls and other surfaces.
The bass range sounds odd, or
there is a vibrating resonance
• Reduce the volume.
• Move the speakers away from any resonating objects.
When listening through headphones:
Here, a different cause would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Ser-
vice Center.

Music Files That the RG-3M Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to
the key played, and other such information. Performance data is transmitted to the RG-3M from music files saved in USB
memory and played back without change as songs. This is different than a audio CD, since the music file does not contain a
recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible to erase certain parts, or to change instruments, tempos and keys freely,
allowing you to use it in many different ways.
Regarding Copyright
Use of the song data supplied with the Data Disk attached to this product for any purpose other than private, personal
enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data must not be copied,
nor used in a secondary copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder.
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially
available SMF music files, such works may violate copyright law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment.
Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright violation you may commit by creating such works.
■ The RG-3M allows you to use the following music files
SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on a compatible device (one bearing the same logo), the lyrics will appear in its display.
The RG-3M come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
■ About the RG-3M Sound Generator
The RG-3M come equipped with GM 2/GS sound generators.
General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that
meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back
using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.
General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering
enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI
recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined.
Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably
playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as
“General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
GS Format
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the performance of sound generating devices.
In addition to including support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally
offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of
extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily
include new sounds and support new hardware features when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music
files that have been created with the GS Format in mind). This product supports both the General MIDI 2 and the GS Format,
and can be used to play back music files carrying either of these logos.
XG lite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone
generation format. You can play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some
music files may play back differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
