The KF-7 incorporates the very latest of Roland’s piano
stereo sampling and sound source technology. So it sounds
just like a full concert acoustic grand, delivering the same nat-
ural, dynamic richness, down to the most delicate nuance. In
addition, the KF-7 lets you customize its piano sounds to suit
your taste: you can even simulate the way the tone and color of
the sound change on a grand piano depending on the position
of its lid. And the KF-7’s four powerful built-in speakers add
vibrancy and expansive depth to your music. Plus, a powerful
new sound source provides 128-voice polyphony, so you don’t
need to worry about note cutoffs when playing. It’s perfect for
making music at home—or on stage.
On an acoustic grand
piano, the greater the diff e r-
ence in keyboard touch when
playing pianissimo and fortissi-
mo, the greater the richness of
expression possible. The KF-7’s keyboard faithfully simulates
this touch difference. It’s Roland’s unique Progressive Hammer-
Action Keyboard, with a dynamic hammer touch variation. It
gives a lighter touch in the upper range, a heavier touch in the
lower range, a lighter resistance when playing soft pianissimo
passages and a stronger resistance on fortissimo passages. Its
true piano feel and playing performance will deliver each deli-
cate nuance of your fingers, with the same expressiveness as an
acoustic grand.
The KF-7 can respond to half-
damper or half-soft pedal playing, for
even more authentic, rich piano expres-
sion. To create the most realistic piano
experience possible for players of any
level, the KF-7 comes with three pedal connection port s
(Damper/Sostenuto/Soft) to attach up to three pedals* (optional)
for a more expressive performance.
*The KF-7 comes with one DP-8 pedal as an accessory—so you can enjoy the
half-pedaling feature the moment you bring it home.
The KF-7 is a statement in style. With its contemporary
design and compact body, it’s a welcome addition to any
m o d e rn interior. You’ll love its subdued chocolate bro w n
color and attractive acrylic music stand…and the fact that it’s
so easily port a b l e .
Roland’s unique DigiScore brings new possibilities and
enjoyment to playing and practicing the piano. You can access
almost all major functions—like Touch the Notes—effortlessly,
with a few touches of a finger to the centralized touchscreen
panel and six surrounding control buttons.
Push the “Score Display” button, and the music score is dis-
played right on Roland’s amazing DigiScore*

. You can display
the score notations for all the preset songs, for songs you
record yourself, or for SMF data. Even better, you can enlarge
the score display, show the staff along with the note name, fin-
ger number*

, chord name*

, or lyrics, or display the right-hand
part or left-hand part only. You can even store a score image on
a floppy disk as a bitmap file and print it out using your PC.
Learning and composing have never been simpler or more fun!
*1 In order to improve readability, DigiScore notation may differ slightly from
standard sheet music. DigiScore cannot display notes smaller than sixteenths, or
display grace notes.
*2 The finger number display can only be used with some of the preset practice
songs. Finger numbers are merely suggestions.
*3 The chord name display can only be used with some of the preset songs, and
with songs recorded with the chord sequencer function.
P o w e r ful musical possibilities—in a stylish, contemporary design
Touch any note head on the
DigiScore screen, and the note is
played automatically. Drag your fin-
gertip over a phrase or series of
notes to highlight them, and the
sequence is played back immedi-
ately. Or, display the score along with a picture of the keyboard,
so that when you touch any note, both the note and the corre-
sponding key are indicated. You can check the notes both visu-
ally and aurally. What could be easier?
You can assign the soft pedal to function as the “Replay”
pedal. Press the pedal during playback to stop the music.
Release the pedal, and playback resumes from the start of that
measure, so you can try that phrase again. It’s just one more
way the DigiScore makes practicing and playing the piano more
fun than ever.
The KF-7 comes with an advanced automatic accompani-
ment function. You just play simple chords with your left hand,
and the accompaniment automatically follows your lead on the
melody, in your choice of several music genres. Your perfor-
mance becomes much more exciting and entertaining. The
“Music Assistant” is a uniquely intuitive help function for back-
up accompaniment. Simply select a keyword that resembles the
song title you want to play, and the intelligent auto-setup help
function chooses an auto-accompaniment style that suits that
song perf e c t l y. The KF-7 has more than 1 30Music Assistant pre -
sets—each with 4 diff e r ent variations—for professional backup
accompaniment. You can change the accompaniment to differ-
ent musical styles such as Latin or jazz, and add fancy intro-
ductions and endings for an exciting and rousing performance.
The KF-7 comes with over 170 built-in preset songs. Select
the song you’d like by genre, or insert a floppy disk of SMF data
for even more choices. The scores for all songs appear right on
the screen. So you can play along with the presets, record and
play back your performance, and much more!
The KF-7 puts over 600 instru-
ment sounds at your fingert i p s ,
grouped into easily-selectable cate-
gories: piano, organ, violin, guitar,
saxophone, drums, and others. The
expressive “Touch EX” tones deliver
tonal variations when you hit the keys at different strengths.
“Pedal EX” tones change the sound and expression when you
press down the pedal. There is also a Layer function to layer
two tones on top of each other, and a Split mode to select a dif-
ferent tone for each hand.
With just a few button touches, you can instantly rearrange
any preset song with chord data into a different style. So you
can play a jazz song as rock, or a pop song as classical. Use the
“Music Style” button on the panel for even more possibilities.
Play with your very own backing band. Select up to five vir-
tual band members, and set their
playing patterns and styles. You can
specify the chord progression, and
add automatic harmony. Your own
original backing band will be right
behind you.
Connect a microphone to the built-in jack for karaoke
singing. Lyrics appear on the screen. You can also add vocal
effects like Harmonist to your singing, Voice Transformer to
alter your voice, Echo, and many others.
The KF-7 contains Roland’s “edu-tainment” feature called
“Wonderland,” designed specifically for children. With animat-
ed onscreen graphics, and a variety of instrument sounds, chil-
dren can enjoy six exciting musical and note-guessing games to
help them develop their ear for music and their sense of
rhythm.
