IMPORTANT NOTES  
291b  
In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 3 and 4,  
please read and observe the following:  
Power Supply  
Maintenance  
401b  
301 Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used  
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.  
by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as  
a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air condi-  
tioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which  
the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this  
unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not  
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply  
noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.  
• 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.  
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.  
Do not use any cleaners or detergents, since they might deteri-  
orate 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 detergents, since they might deteri-  
orate the surface of the cabinet, and produce cracks. Do not use  
dusting cloths that contain chemicals.  
308 Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the 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  
accessible.  
402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to  
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
403 The pedals of this unit are made of brass.  
Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidization  
process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using commer-  
cially available metal polisher.  
306b  
Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries may  
be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable  
testing.  
Repairs and Data  
452 Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may  
Placement  
351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should  
always be backed up on an external memory, 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.  
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 interference.  
352a  
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do  
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.  
352b  
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such  
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise  
could occur when receiving or initiating 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.  
Additional Precautions  
551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably  
lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the  
unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data,  
we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of  
important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on an  
external memory.  
354b  
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near 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.  
552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data  
that was stored on an external memory once it has been lost.  
Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of  
data.  
355b  
553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons,  
When moved from one location to another where the temperature  
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation)  
may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if  
you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before  
using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until  
the condensation has completely evaporated.  
sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors.  
Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.  
554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.  
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.  
356 Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the  
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or  
otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Introduction  
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland KR Intelligent Piano.  
While the KR Intelligent Piano certainly allows you to achieve authentic piano performances, it also  
features easy-to-use Automatic Accompaniment and numerous other useful functions. In order to enjoy  
reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time to read through  
this manual in its entirety.  
Main Features  
Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style  
The KR’s grand piano cabinet exhibits elegance in form with a beautiful black, mirror-like surface. With  
features just like those found on an acoustic grand, such as a top that opens and closes and folding  
retractable keyboard lid (KR117M), this instrument is a perfect match for lounge or living room.  
The KR117M lid also features hands-free closure for enhanced safety.  
Lusciously Resounding, Richly Expressive Piano Sound  
The KR reproduces the rich tones of a high-quality grand piano, from the sounds of the hammers as they  
strike the strings to the sounds made as the keys are released. 128-voice polyphony ensures full  
responsiveness, even with heavy use of the pedals.  
What’s more, The “Piano Designer” feature allows you to create your own favorite piano tones.  
True Grand Piano Feel  
The KR features Roland’s Progressive Hammer Action keyboard, which reproduces the feel of a grand  
piano, with a firm, weighty touch in the lower registers and a lighter response in the upper registers. This  
keyboard also faithfully reproduces the distinctive “click” that’s produced when a grand piano’s keys are  
played (Escapement function).  
In addition to the ability of adjusting the key weight, a “Hammer Response” function, which reproduces  
the subtle action of the hammers, is also incorporated, so there are two key-touch controls that come into  
play when determining the precise character of the keyboard. Additionally, the instrument’s pedals are  
firm and responsive, lending your performances fuller and more detailed expressiveness.  
Accomplish Tasks Easily with the Main Buttons  
Almost all of the KR’s common functions, including playing back songs, displaying notations, running  
the automatic accompaniment, selecting tones, and so on can be accomplished using the Main buttons to  
the left of the screen.  
Full Complement of Player Piano Functions  
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 CDs to the KR’s  
“Favorites.”  
The KR117M and KR115M includes a “Moving Keys” function that plays the keys along with the song,  
providing exquisite performances that are played automatically.  
Also included is a convenient remote control, which you can use for selecting songs, adjusting volume  
balances, switching the Moving Keys function on and off, and even for switching the images that appear  
in external displays--simply and easily. You can connect an external display or television set to the piano  
for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, lyrics screen, slide shows, and notations.

Introduction  
Easy-To-Use “Music Assistant” Automatic Accompaniment Feature  
You can select from an amazing 500 settings to get automatic accompaniment that perfectly matches the  
song you are playing.  
Each song’s Music Assistant settings are shown in a manner that is easy to grasp, so playing along with  
the changes in the accompaniment is a snap.  
For easy enjoyment of Music Assistant, the KR also includes songs that you can perform while reading  
the chord charts.  
Utilizes External Memory–the New Media  
You can save song data created on the KR to External memory (sold separately). Extremely portable, high-  
capacity external memory also connects easily to computers, allowing song data to be transferred easily.  
Taking further advantage of the high-capacity memory, you can also play back audio files with the KR.  
Connect External Speakers to Produce Concert Hall Presence  
You can connect an amp and speakers to the KR and play the sounds of the reverb and accompaniment  
through the external speakers to produce the effect of being enveloped by an orchestra.  
The KR is equipped with XLR connectors, a very convenient feature when the instrument is used on stage.  
How To Use This Manual  
The KR Owner’s Manual consists of three volumes, Quick Start, Owner’s Manual, and the USB Install  
Guide.  
Please start out by reading “Before You Start Playing” (p. 18) in the Owner’s Manual (this volume). This  
explains how to connect the KR’s power cord and how to turn on the instrument’s power.  
After turning on the KR’s power, please continue by reading Quick Start.  
By trying out the various procedures while reading the Quick Start, you can easily learn how to play the  
KR and make use of its major functions (especially procedures that involve use of the “main buttons”).  
The Owner’s Manual describes procedures, from basic operation to procedures for special applications  
(for example, using the KR as an accompanist and creating songs), that will help you master the KR’s  
many performance functions.  
When connecting a computer to the USB port, be sure to read the USB Install Guide. This describes the  
procedure for installing the driver needed to connect via USB.  
*
For more on system requirements, refer to the “USB Installation Guide.” However, note that the KR is  
not compatible with Mac OS 9.

You can use the remote control to change the volume.  
Damper pedal (right pedal)  
While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after  
you take your fingers off the keys.  
The length of the sustain changes subtly according to the  
extent to which the pedal is depressed.  
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will  
allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the  
sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich  
resonance.  
The KR simulates this damper resonance.  
You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper  
pedal. Please refer to “Adjusting the Piano Designer Resonance” (p. 181).  
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)  
This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were  
already played when you pressed the pedal.  
Soft pedal (left pedal)  
When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard, the  
sound will have a softer tone.  
You can assign functions to the pedal. Refer to “Assigning Functions to  
Pedals and Performance Pads (Pedal Setting/User Functions)” (p. 167).

Connecting Headphones  
Connecting a Microphone  
The KR has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This  
allows two people to listen through headphones  
simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and  
performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this  
allows you to play without bothering others around you,  
even at night.  
You can connect a microphone into the Mic jack, and enjoy  
karaoke with the KR.  
fig.00-10  
Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located at the  
bottom left of the piano.  
Connecting headphones will automatically mute the  
sound from the internal speakers.  
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume]  
knob of the KR.  
fig.00-04.e  
1. Connect a microphone (sold separately) to the Mic jack  
on the lower-left area of the instrument.  
2. Rotate the [Mic Volume] knob in front of the Mic jack  
to adjust the volume level for the microphone.  
3. Adjust the mic echo (p. 48).  
Some Notes on Using a Microphone  
• Be careful of high volume levels when using mikes late  
at night or early in the morning.  
• When connecting a microphone to the KR, be sure to  
lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when  
the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by  
the speakers.  
NOTE  
Use Stereo headphones.  
983  
Some Notes on Using Headphones  
• Howling could be produced depending on the location  
• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones  
of microphones relative to speakers. This can be  
remedied by:  
only by the headset or the plug.  
• Connecting the headphones when the volume of  
connected equipment is turned up may result in damage  
to the headphones. Lower the volume on the KR before  
plugging in the headphones.  
-
-
Changing the orientation of the microphone.  
Relocating microphone at a greater distance from  
speakers.  
-
Lowering volume levels.  
• Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only  
damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing  
loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

Adjusting the Sound to Achieve the  
Preferred Tone Quality (Equalizer)  
The KR features a built-in, five-band digital equalizer.  
An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the  
sound balance for the overall performance. For example, you can boost the highs to  
get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.  
You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the  
performance space.  
If raising the slider for each frequency ends up distorting the sound, you can correct  
the distortion with the Master Level slider.

About Chords  
A chord is produced when several notes are played simultaneously. Chords are  
indicated by the pitch of the fundamental note of the chord (the root) and the chord  
type, which is determined by the other notes of the chord.  
For example, the C m chord is expressed in terms of the root note “C” and the chord  
type “m” (minor). C m is made up of the three notes “C,” “E ” and “G.”  
“C m” is indicated as the chord name on the Basic screen.

Listening to Songs on CDs (Only for Instrument  
Equipped with CD Drive)  
Cautions  
Handling CDs  
• Do not leave discs exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.  
• Handle CDs with your finger and thumb, holding the disc by the center hole and  
outer rim. Do not touch or scratch the disc’s recording surface (the green side).  
• Do not drop or stack discs.  
• Do not place heavy objects on discs or subject them to strong impact.  
• Do not affix stickers or other such materials on the label side. Placing stickers on  
the disc may result in errors when data writing and scratch the disc.  
• Use a felt-tip marker or other soft-tipped implement to write titles and other  
information on the label side of discs.  
• Store discs in their original cases or other suitable cases for protection.  
• Before using the CD, please read the warning on the CD cover.  
Cleaning Discs  
• If a disc becomes dusty or soiled, gently wipe the disc with a soft cloth. Always  
wipe outwards from the center using light, gentle strokes. Do not wipe the disk  
in a circular pattern.  
Precautions Concerning Use of the CD  
• CD-R/RW discs to which audio tracks have been added, and CDs with mixed  
audio tracks and data will not play back properly.  
• The KR is capable of playing back only commercial CDs that conform the official  
standards-those that carry the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO” logo. The  
usability and sound quality of audio discs that incorporate copyright protection  
technology and other non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.  
• For more detailed information on audio discs featuring copyright protection  
technology and other non-standard CDs, please consult the disc vendor.  
• You cannot save songs and styles to CDs, and you cannot delete songs or styles  
recorded to CDs. Furthermore, you cannot format CDs.  
• The prescribed format for CD-R/RW discs is “ISO9660 Level 1 Mode 1.”  
• You may be unable to read using other formats.  
NOTE  
You may not be able to play  
back certain commercially  
available player piano CDs.  
CDs That Can Be Played Back  
• Commercially available audio CDs  
• CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files  
• CD included with the KR

the part being displayed, refer  
to “Making Detailed Settings  
for the Notation Display” (p.  
89).  
Notes Regarding the Notation Display  
• Since the displayed notation data is read from external memory or the internal  
memory, some time may be required for the notation to be displayed.  
• The displayed notations are based on music files. Priority is placed on the  
readability of the displayed music, not on the accurate rendition of difficult,  
high-level performances. Thus, there may be discrepancies seen when compared  
with commercially available printed music. The display is not intended for  
viewing advanced songs requiring precisely detailed notations, or complex  
songs.  
NOTE  
• On the notation display screen, lyrics and notes may extend beyond the range  
displayed on the screen and may not be visible.  
You cannot display the  
notation for audio files nor  
audio CD’s song.  
• Playback may start over from the beginning if you display the notation or  
change the displayed part during playback of the song.

Adjusting the Tempo  
This changes the song and Music Style tempos.  
If songs seem difficult to play at their original speed, you may find it helpful to first  
practice with the tempo slowed down. Then, after becoming more familiar with the  
song, you can practice it at a gradually faster tempo.  
Changing the tempo has no effect on the pitch of the notes. And you can change the  
tempo even when the song is in progress.

Adjusting the Tempo with the Tempo [-] [+] Buttons  
Pressing the [+] button once increases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the  
button makes the tempo increase continuously.

Pressing the [-] button once decreases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the  
button makes the tempo decrease continuously.  
You can not adjust the audio

Pressing the [-] [+] buttons simultaneously returns the selected Music Style or song  
to the basic tempo.  
Setting the Tempo by Pressing the Button in Time

Muting Some Parts Before Playing  
(Track Buttons)  
For more on music files, refer  
to “Music Files That the KR  
Can Use” (p. 217).  
With commercially available music files for piano lessons, the part for each hand can  
be played back independently. This makes it easy to practice hands separately. For  
example, you can follow along with your right hand while you listen to that same  
right-hand part be played, or you can practice the left-hand part while the right-hand  
part plays.  
A music file for piano lessons may be assigned to the five Track buttons as shown below.

or the Favorites is called “saving.” Be sure to save important songs to external  
memories or Favorites.  
What are “Favorites?”  
You can register songs you are currently practicing or particularly like to  
“Favorites,” allowing you to select these songs easily (p. 82).  
When you register a song on an external memory to Favorites, you can then play  
back the song without connecting the external memory to the external memory  
connector.  
When using a new storage  
media, first initialize (format)  
the external memory on the  
KR. Take a look at “Formatting  
Media (Format)” (p. 114).  
If a recorded performance is saved to Favorites, the performance won’t be erased  
when the power is turned off.  
NOTE  
Some commercially available  
music files cannot be saved  
because they are copy  
protected.

In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track  
Buttons” (p. 97) are another of the unit’s playing/recording  
functions.  
These five “Track buttons” are used for organizing the 16-

recorded with the Track buttons, and make even more  
detailed edits of the songs.

you can also create your own. These original Styles are called  
“User Styles.”

You can create a new style by selecting from among the  
Rhythm, Bass, Accompaniment 1, Accompaniment 2,  
Accompaniment 3, Accompaniment 4, Accompaniment 5,  
and Accompaniment 6 parts in different Styles. This function  
is called the “Style Composer.”

Changing the Tuning (Tuning)  
Choosing the Tuning  
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic  
temperaments (tuning methods).  
This temperament is a partial  
compromise of just intonation in order  
to allow modulation.  
Meantone  
Most modern songs are composed for and played in equal  
temperament, the most common tuning in use today. But at  
one time, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems  
in existence. By playing in the temperament that was in use  
when a composition was created, you can experience the  
sonorities of chords originally intended for that song.  
This temperament is a combination of  
meantone and Pythagorean  
temperaments. It allows you to play in  
all keys. (First method, number three.)  
Werkmeister  
Touch any one of the icons to choose the tuning system.  
When playing in a temperament other than equal  
temperament, you must specify the tonic (the note  
corresponding to C for a major key, or to A for a minor key)  
of the key in which you will play.  
At Step 3 in “Procedure” (p. 165), touch <Tuning>.  
fig.d-p-temp.eps_50  
Touch <Key>  
to select the tonic.  
If you have selected equal temperament, it is not necessary to  
select the tonic.  
Setting the Tuning Curve (Stretch Tuning)  
Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and  
the high range is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This  
method of tuning is unique to the piano, and is known as  
“stretched tuning.”  
You can choose from among the eight tunings described  
below.  
A graph that shows the changes in pitch of actual tuning  
compared with the changes in equal temperament pitch is  
called a tuning curve. Changing the tuning curve produces  
subtle variations in the reverberations of the chords you play.  
Tuning  
Characteristics  
system  
This temperament divides the octave  
into 12 equal parts. All intervals will be  
Equal  
slightly out of tune by the same amount.  
This setting is in effect when you turn on  
the power.  
Touch the Stretch Tuning <ON> or <OFF> icon to select the  
tuning curve.  
When set to “ON,” the tuning curve features extended low  
and high ranges (Stretch Tuning). It is suitable for piano  
solos. This setting is selected when the power is turned on.  
This temperament makes the 5th and  
3rd intervals pure. It is unsuited to  
playing melodies and cannot be  
transposed, but is capable of beautiful  
sonorities.  
Just (Maj)  
Just (min)  
When set to “OFF,” the standard tuning curve is used. It is  
suitable when playing in an ensemble with other  
instruments.  
Just intonation differs between major  
and minor keys. The same results as  
major can be obtained in a minor key.

When you choose a Program Change message (Program  
Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the  
MIDI device connected to the KR. The MIDI device that  
receives the Program Number changes the tone to the  
corresponding Program Number.

Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones available.  
Some MIDI devices, however, have more than 128 Tones.  
With such devices, the Tone is selected through a  
combination of Program Change messages and Bank Select  
messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select message: the  
MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127) and the LSB

Connect to the USB Connector  
Connecting a Computer  
You can connect you computer with a USB cable to the USB  
connector, located on the left underside of the KR, and  
exchange MIDI data between the instrument and the  
computer. You can use the KR to play SMF data created with  
the computer and exchange performance data in the same  
manner as with MIDI devices connected to the MIDI  
connectors.  
Connect to the MIDI Connectors  
You can use a USB MIDI interface cable (sold separately) to  
connect the KR to your computer.  
If the KR is connected to a computer in which sequencer  
software such as Roland’s “Visual MT” is installed, a song  
you’ve recorded on the KR can be saved on your computer.  
Connecting your computer to the KR for the first time requires  
installation of the “USB Driver” (on the included CD-ROM) to the  
computer.  
Connection Examples

*
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.  
The correct driver and the installation procedure will depend on  
your system and on the other programs you are using. Be sure to  
read the Readme file on the CD-ROM before installation.  
*
In order to make connections to your computer, you must  
install “MIDI driver” software on your computer. For details,  
refer to the owner’s manual for your MIDI interface.

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  
characteristics of the acoustic piano. The  
range that is unaffected by the damper  
pedal will change depending on the Key  
Transpose setting.  
If different effects have been selected for

Music Files That the KR Can Use  
What Are Music Files?  
About the KR Sound Generator  
Music Files contain information describing the details of a  
musical performance, such as “the C3 key on a keyboard was  
pressed for this amount of time, using this amount of force.”  
By connecting the external memory to the external memory  
port on the KR, the performance information is sent from the  
external memory to the piano, and played faithfully by the  
piano. This is different than a 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.  
The KR 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.  
Regarding Copyright  
General MIDI 2  
Other than for your own personal enjoyment, any use of the  
song data programmed in this instrument without the  
consent 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.  
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.  
The KR allows you to use the  
following music files  
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.

Roland Digital Piano Compatible Music Files  
GS Format  
Roland’s original music file is made specifically for practicing the  
piano. Some follow an instructional curriculum, allowing for a  
complete range of lessons, such as “practicing each hand  
separately” or “listening to only the accompaniment.”  
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 data carrying either of these logos.  
SMF Music Files (720KB/1.44MB format)  
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music file  
that was formulated so that files containing music file could be  
widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the  
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,  
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for  
Karaoke, etc.  
*
If you wish to purchase SMF Music Files, please consult the  
retailer where you purchased your KR.  
XG lite  
SMF with Lyrics  
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.  
“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.
