Introduction
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland RG-7 Digital Grand Piano.
The RG-7 is sure to be highly appreciated, not only for the authentic piano performances it offers, but also for
its extensive selection of player piano 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
Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-Ranging Expressiveness
The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of the hammers striking
the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand piano.
Maximum polyphony of 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes.
Roland Digital Grand Brings Refinement to Interior Style
The RG-7 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.
Full Complement of Player Piano Functions
The RG-7 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-7’s “Favorites.”
The RG-7 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-7 for enlarged displays of the Song Select screen, karaoke screen (lyrics screen), notation, and even slide
shows.
Instrument Endowed with Superior Basic Functions
The RG-7 uses the progressive hammer action keyboard, which reproduces the touch of a grand piano, with
a heavier feel in the lower registers and a lighter, quicker response in the upper registers. This keyboard also
accurately reproduces the distinctive clicking feel that occurs when the keys are played gently (escapement
mechanism).
The instrument further is equipped with highly responsive pedals, which lend even greater expressive detail
to your performances.
The RG-7 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-7 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.
