* When operating the pedal, please be careful not
to get your fingers pinched between the movable
part and the panel. In places where small children
are present, make sure that an adult provides
supervision and guidance.
Using the Pedals to Modify the Sound
Damper pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be
sustained for an extended time even if you release your fingers from the keyboard.
By pressing the pedal to different depths, you can adjust the length of sustain
(short, long). On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the
strings for notes other than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with
what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. This unit simulates this sympathetic
vibration (damper resonance).
Sostenuto pedal
This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already pressed when you
pressed the pedal.
Soft pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed
produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
Bottom Panel Connections
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.

AC Outlet
Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator faces

downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC
adaptor into an AC outlet.

Stereo phone plug
USB Memory for Update Port
This connector will be used if there are future additions or
expansions to the RP102’s functionality.
* Never insert or remove the USB flash drive while this unit is
turned on. Doing so may corrupt the unit’s data or the data
on the USB flash drive.
* Use a commercially available USB flash drive or a USB flash
drive sold by Roland. However, we cannot guarantee that
all commercially available USB flash drives will work with
this unit.
USB Computer Port
If you have a DAW program on your computer, or if you have SMF data, you can use a commercially available USB cable
to connect the RP102's USB Computer port to the USB port of your computer and do the following.
(DAW: music production software (sold separately), SMF: song files)

SMF data played back on your DAW can be sounded by the RP102.

MIDI data can be transferred between the RP102 and your DAW, letting you produce and edit music in a variety of ways.
Pedal Connector
Connect the pedal cord of the dedicated stand here. For
details, refer to the leaflet “Stand Assembly.”
PHONES Jacks
Since this unit has two headphones jacks, two people can
also use headphones simultaneously. And you can connect
the external amplifiered speakers (p. 6)
