Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Thank you for purchasing the Roland KR111 Digital Intelligent Piano. As its name suggests, the KR111 is both a digital
piano and what we have come to call an “intelligent arranger” instrument with over 160 accompaniments called
“Styles” that provide several variations for different song parts. The “Style Orchestrator” allows you to quickly change
the arrangement of the selected Music Style, while you can also load new Styles from disk.

Apart from that, the KR111 features 400 different sounds (including Drum Sets), a Music Assistant that helps you pre-
pare the instrument for the songs you want to play, User Programs where you can save your own registrations, a USB
port for MIDI communication with your computer, and a host of other great functions.

To get the most out of the KR111 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this
Owner’s Manual thoroughly. To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and
use “key” only when referring to the KR111’s keyboard.

To save space (and time), let us agree to use the word “song” when referring to Standard MIDI Files.

Before using this instrument, carefully read the “Important notes” on p. 6. They provide information concerning the
proper operation of the KR111. Be sure to keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
