It offers you an ultra-realistic grand piano feel and sound, a vast selection of tones, and a
host of the most fun and easy-to-use learning and auto-accompaniment functions ever invented.
You can control dozens of functions from easy one-touch buttons, you can “Touch the Notes” on
the user-friendly “DigiScore” touchscreen, or set up the score on an exterior color display.
The KR-7 is full of features that could only be found in a digital piano from Roland. This is
the ultimate digital instrument, offering more piano performance pleasure and more musical
fun for the whole family.
The KR-7 has everything you need—
including Roland’s unique“DigiScore” and
much more—for the ultimate piano experience!
Select/Listen to a Song
Extensive selection of preset classical and contemporary songs
There are over 170 preset songs built right into the KR-7. You can select the song you’d like by
category, or insert a floppy disk of Standard MIDI Files for even more choices. The scores for all songs
appear right on the “DigiScore.” You can just listen to the presets and play along, play only the melody,
or practice the chords for the song. You can also play either hand’s part independently, add the
metronome function, repeat certain parts, and record and play back your performance. There is even an
introduction countdown to indicate when to begin playing. The KR-7 has a microphone jack for karaoke singing
to Standard MIDI Files too. And it offers a function to add harmony to your singing, plus a variety of vocal effects,
such as a Voice Transformer to change the sound of your voice or add echo.
Song Stylist
Fun choice of style arrangements
With just a few touches to the “Song Stylist” menus, you can instantly rearrange the onboard songs that include
chord information to a different style: jazz, rock, classical, and others. Or you can create several different arrange-
ments for each song. Suddenly a classic piece can be played as rock, or a jazz piece played with Latin-beat. With
the KR-7, the possibilities are endless.
Music Assistant
Easy title or keyword search for perfect accompaniment
The “Music Assistant” is an intelligent help function that assists you in setting up the auto-accompaniment
which best suits the particular song or style you want to play. You simply select a song title, or even just a key
word related to the song, and the Music Assistant’s auto-setup feature will choose a music style that suits that song
perfectly. The KR-7 comes with more than 130 preset settings—each with four different variations—for pro-
fessional backup accompaniment. With these settings, you just play a chord, and the accompaniment follows your
lead on the melody. You can also change the accompaniment to different musical styles such as Latin or jazz, and
add fancy introductions and endings to the accompaniment, for an exciting and rousing performance.
Score Display
Roland’s unique “DigiScore” display
The KR-7’s “Score Display” button activates
Roland’s amazing “DigiScore” onscreen display. The
“DigiScore” displays the scores from over 170 preset songs, Standard MIDI Files, or songs you
record yourself. You can choose to display the staff along with the note name, finger number, chord
name, or lyrics. Or, you can display the right hand part or left hand part only. The unique “Touch
the Notes” function lets you listen to any note on the screen just by touching it on the “DigiScore”
panel. Or, by dragging your finger over a phrase or series of notes to highlight them, you can play
back just that phrase immediately. The score can be displayed along with a picture of the keyboard,
so that when you touch any note, both the note and the corresponding key are indicated, for
smooth progress even if you can’t yet read music. You can also connect an outside computer mon-
itor to the KR-7, making it possible to display four times the number of bars, with a larger score and
larger lyrics in full color. The KR-7 can even export the score as visual data for printing with your
PC. Another handy feature is the “Replay” function pedal. By assigning this function to the left
pedal, you just step on the pedal to stop the music and try the phrase again. You never need to take
your hands off the keyboard.
NOTE: The chord name display can only be used with some selections of the preset songs, and with songs that include chord data on the
“60 Favorite Selections” floppy disk. The finger number display can only be used on some of the preset practice songs.
Session Partner
Your own personal band
The KR-7 “Session Partner” function lets you select
the sort of band you want to accompany you. You can
choose up to five virtual band members, and set their
playing patterns and styles. You can also either specify the
chord progression, or play your practice session manually.
So whatever sort of music you’re playing, your own
personal backing band will be right behind you.
Select Various Tones
New easily-selectable tones for more power of expression
For even more playing enjoyment, the “Select
Various Tones” feature highlights a recommended few
of the KR-7’s more than 600 tones—everything from
piano and organ to violin, guitar, saxophone, drums,
and even all new human voice and footage sound
source jazz organ sounds. With the expressive “Touch
EX tones,” the sound can be altered and enhanced by
hitting the keys at different strengths. With the “Pedal
EX tones,” the sound can be enhanced in a different
way: pressing down the left pedal will give you an expressive
intonation of unprecedented dynamism. With the KR-7
you can also use the Layer function to layer two tones on
top of each other, or use the Split mode to select a different
tone for each hand. The enjoyment never ends.
User-friendly touchscreen panel with
6 control buttons.
Using the KR-7 couldn’t be easier or more fun. Its centralized touchscreen panel
with six main control buttons gives you immediate command of all major functions with
a simple touch of your finger. Large, sophisticated graphics supplement the totally intuitive
menus, and make the KR-7 one of the most enjoyable instruments you’ll ever play.
