Damper Resonance

On the HP103, there is Damper Resonance function, which re-creates the rich sympathetic string resonance sound when the damper pedal is pressed.

Grand Space: magical 3D sound

At the touch of a button, suddenly the sound takes on a three-dimensional depth and presence, as if it were coming from somewhere farther in front of you. That’s the magic of Roland’s all-new Grand Space feature, which adds richness and a gorgeous grand piano resonance to your playing. This function is just as amazing through headphones, making it seem as if the sound is coming from somewhere beyond them—like from the long soundboard of an acoustic grand. You have to experience it to believe it!

Impressive harmony with Dynamic Emphasis

This feature, employing advanced DSP technology, instantly enhances the lower and upper range of the piano sounds. The high and low notes become more clearly delineated, and each note of the harmony stands out crisply and powerfully, for richer tones, sweeter harmony, and dynamic sound that you can feel as you play.

The expressive touch of an acoustic grand

All three models in the HP-Series incorporate one of Roland’s acclaimed Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboards, for the natural touch and playing performance of an acoustic grand piano. The keyboards use real hammers rather than springs, providing a lighter touch in the upper range, a heavier touch in the lower range, lighter resistance when playing pianissimo, heavier resistance when playing fortissimo, and a vast touch difference between pianissimo and fortissimo—exactly like an acoustic grand. The HP-Series will faithfully respond to each delicate nuance of your fingers.

Keyboard customize features

The keyboard offers a number of key touch adjustment features for greater expression. With the Touch control, you can customize the key touch (Light, Medium, Heavy, or Fixed) on any model in the HP-Series to suit your finger strength and playing style.

Meticulously crafted, for convenience

The HP-Series’ cabinets were carefully designed with the little details in mind. Their elegant, eye-catching mahogany finish and keyboard covers make them a welcome addition to every interior. And with a large, adjustable music rest with handy music clips, and a control panel slanted for ease of operation, they’re also convenient and easier to play. Plus, since they have no protruding power cord in back, they are flatter and more compact. The new HP-Series is the perfect balance of beauty and func-tionality.

Headphone hook

The HP103 has two headphone jacks in the front. Each model also has a handy hook in front for the headphones.

Practice with the internal songs

The HP103 offers 66 popular internal practice songs, so you can start playing the day you bring it home. These songs are ideal for piano practice. You can listen to them, change their tempo, or mute either hand’s part and play along. The HP103 also come with Roland’s 60 Classical Piano Masterpieces music book, containing the scores of most of the internal songs.

A variety of instrument tones

You can choose from 20 realistic instrument tones on the HP103, such as fabulous piano, electric piano, harpsichord, organ, strings and many others—plus an additional 4 tones exclusive to Acoustic Layering. For more performance fun, select a different instrument for each hand with the Split function, or combine two sounds for Dual mode play.

Metronome and 2-track recorder

All three models in the HP-Series have a metronome function to help you develop a sense of rhythm and tim-ing. On the HP103, there is also a 2-track recorder, so you can record your performances and play them back to check on your progress as you improve.

Appealing new Demo function

The advanced Demo function lets you switch the Piano Resonance, Grand Space, and many other onboard functions on/off while the dedicated demo phrases play, so you can immediately hear how each function sounds—and discover just how powerful and expressive the new HP-Series really is.
