Owner’s Manual
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano MP-60.
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 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal
freely without running out of notes.
Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano
These instruments feature a hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the touch of
a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in the
upper register.
The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance
nuances to be expressed.
A Variety of Practice Features to Help You Develop Your Musicality
In addition to a metronome, the MP-60 features a two-track recorder, which allows
you to experience piano lessons in a way possible only on electronic pianos.
65 Piano Songs Built-In
The internal songs are mainly classical pieces, and include compositions for listening
enjoyment as well as for lessons.
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS” (p. 2), “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 3, 4), and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p.
5). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided
by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and
kept on hand as a convenient reference.

402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,
to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
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.
Additional Precautions
552
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of
data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been
lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning
such loss of data.
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

normal operation.
Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
5•58aTo avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
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.
5•59bWhen you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-
absorbent material. Transporting the unit without doing so
can cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead
to malfunction.
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.
562
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level
to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor-
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-
turer of the cable.
355b
• When moved from one location to another where the temper-
ature 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.
• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure
that no pets or other small animals are located on top of the
instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the
keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design
of this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up
getting trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered,
you must immediately switch off the power and disconnect
the power cord from the outlet. You should then consult with
the retailer from whom the instrument was purchased, or
contact the nearest Roland Service Center.
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.
358
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This
can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to
produce sound.
359
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the
exterior finish.

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard
(Transpose)
By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your performance without
changing the notes you play. For example, even if the song is in a difficult key with
numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose it to a key that is easier for you
to play.
When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the pitch to a range that is
comfortable for the singer, while still playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same
fingering positions).

Continue to hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button, and press a note to
indicate the tonic of the key to which you want to transpose.
The button’s indicator will light, and the keyboard will be transposed.
When you hold down the

You can also transpose by holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button and pressing the

If you hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the [+] and [-] buttons
simultaneously, the setting will return to the original value (0).
This can be set in a range of -6–0–5 (semitone steps).
For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you play the C key, hold down
the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E key.
Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black
keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.

Playing Along with the Internal Songs
Here’s how you can play along with the internal songs.
You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately.
Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the
song.
For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a Song and Playing It” (p. 10).
If you turn on the metronome
while the song plays back, the
metronome will sound at the
beat and tempo of the song.
Changing the Tempo
If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice
it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice.

When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in
time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.”
On the MP-60, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two
measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.

the middle A key. This tuning of all the instruments to a
standard pitch is called “tuning.”

You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal
temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a
variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the
chords that the composer originally intended.
Power-up default setting 1 C

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament,
you need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major
key or to A for a minor key).

Qualities
In this tuning, each octave is divided
into twelve equal steps. Every inter-
val produces about the same amount
of slight dissonance. This setting is in
effect when you turn on the power.

When performing in ensemble with other instruments, be aware that
depending on the key, there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the
MP-60 to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments.

Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings
Preventing the Settings from
Changing During Performance
A piano is generally tuned to a pitch with a lower bass range
and a higher treble range than equal temperament. This
special tuning method for pianos is called “Stretch Tuning.”
■ Disabling Everything Except
Piano Play (Panel Lock)
The “Panel Lock” function locks the MP-60 in a state where
only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be
disabled. That way, you won’t get switched to the wrong
settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you’re
playing.
If you press the [HARPSICHORD] button in step 2 of
“Making Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like
the following will appear.
fig.disp-On
In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be
played.
1. Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the
Values
[Power] switch to turn off the power.
OFF
This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right
choice when using Dual play (p. 12), or when
playing in ensemble with other instruments.
2. Hold down the [PIANO] button and press the [Power]
switch to turn on the power.
On
This tuning curve expands the bass and treble
ends somewhat. It is suitable for performances
such as piano solos. This setting is in effect when
you turn on the power.
Then, continue to hold down these two buttons for a few
seconds.
The following display will appear.
fig.disp—-
Power-up default setting On
→ This effect works only with the piano tones.
Adjust the volume.
When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound
will be heard.
When you are using Split play (p. 13), you can apply the
damper pedal effect to the sound played by the left-hand
keyboard range.
To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down
to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.
■ Disabling the Buttons When
Using a Tone Other Than Piano
(Tone Lock)
If you press the [ORGAN] button in step 2 of “Making
Detailed Settings (Function)” (p. 26), a display like the
following will appear.
fig.disp-Off
Even when using Tones other than the Piano, you can set the
instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in
effect at that time will be maintained).
1. Hold down the [BRILLIANCE] button and press the

OFF
The damper pedal effect will not be applied to the
sound of the left-hand keyboard area.
Power-up default setting OFF
All buttons are disabled while the instrument is set like this.
To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again hold down
the [BRILLIANCE] button while you press the [KEY
TOUCH] button. Alternatively, you can lower the
instrument’s volume all the way and switch its power
off. Then, turn it on again.

■ What’s MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an
international standard which allows performance
information to be communicated among electronic musical
instruments and computers.
The MP-60 provides MIDI connectors, which allow
performance data to be exchanged with external devices.
When these connectors are used to connect the MP-60 to
external devices, an even wider range of possibilities
becomes available.
Making MIDI-related Settings
Here’s how you can set the transmit channel and other MIDI-
related settings.

■ MIDI Send Channel Settings
No sound produced
MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.
Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication
to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the
same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced,
and no sounds can be selected.

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 characteristics of the acoustic
piano. On the MP-60, the range that is unaf-
fected by the damper pedal will change de-
pending on the Key Transpose setting.
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause in-
struments near the MP-60 to resonate.
Resonation can also occur with fluores-
cent light tubes, glass doors, and other ob-
jects. In particular, this problem occurs
more easily when the bass component is
increased, and when the sound is played
at higher volumes. Use the following mea-
sures to suppress such resonance.
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm
from walls and other surfaces.
