Introduction
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland KF-90 Intelligent Piano.
While the KF-90 Intelligent Piano certainly allows you to achieve authentic piano
performances, it also features easy-to-use Automatic Accompaniment and numerous other
useful 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.
Features
Authentic Piano Sound
The KF-90 reproduces the tones of a high-quality grand
piano, with stereo sampled sounds that capture the true
piano sound so well, you can even hear the hammers hitting
the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 64 stereo piano
tones, the KF-90 can handle just about any kind of
performance, even when extensive pedal work is involved.
In addition, the KF-90 features a Progressive Hammer
Action, with a heavier touch in the lower keys and lighter
touch in the upper keys, for even more realistic piano
keyboard feel. All this provides you with more natural, more
authentic piano performance.
Large Display and Touch Panel
The KF-90 features a large-sized display screen, and a
“Touch Panel” that allows you to perform various tasks
merely by touching items displayed on the screen, for easier
viewing and more comfortable operation.
A Wide Variety of Accompaniment
Styles with the Automatic
Accompaniment Function
The KF-90 features numerous music Styles–approximately
140 different Styles are provided--and an Automatic
Accompaniment function. You can use these to add the exact
accompaniment you have in mind to your own
performances.
Navigator Buttons Let You Get Straight
to What You Want to Accomplish
There are Navigator buttons for tones, Automatic
Accompaniment, and so on. For example, even if you don't
understand what a certain button does, you can use the Style
Navigator buttons, and just by following the on-screen
instructions, make immediate use of the Automatic
Accompaniment feature and access many other convenient
functions, allowing you to achieve the things you want to do
even more easily.
Effects Adding Three-Dimensional
Breadth to Your Performances
(Advanced 3D)
You can select parts in Performances and add three-
dimensional breadth to them. This provides the pleasant
effect of “wrapping” your performance within the sound.
Convenient Functions to Support Your
Practice Efforts (Piano Master)
Piano Master can be used to greatly simplify a wide variety
of operations, such as practicing the same section repeatedly
any number of times, and practicing the parts for each hand.
You also get useful practice functions, such as a recording
feature that works like a regular tape recorder (p. 97),
independent playback of each hand's parts (p. 89), a
metronome function (p. 63), and more.
Expandable Ensemble Opportunities
Using MIDI (MIDI Ensemble)
You can connect this instrument's MIDI connector to an
electronic percussion instrument or other separate
instrument, allowing you to play ensemble performances. By
using “MIDI Ensemble,” you can simply connect an
instrument to the MIDI connector and start playing using
MIDI, without having to be concerned about making a lot of
MIDI settings.
Make Your Own Authentic Ensemble
Songs
You can use a variety of recording and editing features to
compose your own authentic ensemble tunes.
Making Use of Commercially Available
Music Files for Listening or Lessons
You can use the built-in disk drive to listen to commercial
Music File songs and save recorded tunes on floppy disk (p.
39).
Karaoke Enjoyment
You can connect a microphone and enjoy singing along with
songs, just like with a karaoke system (p. 42). You can also
add harmony to the microphone vocals, and even change
your voice to get robot and other vocal sound effects (p. 43).
Refined and Simple Design
From the tasteful brown tones to real wood used for the
sides, this instrument has a look to fit in naturally with your
room's interior design.
