Roland KR-17 User Manual

 

The KR features a built-in, five-band digital equalizer.

An equalizer boosts or cuts specific sound pitches (frequency ranges) to adjust the 

sound balance for the overall performance. For example, you can boost the highs to 

get a crisper sound, or boost the low end for a more powerful sound.

You can also adjust the sound to compensate for the acoustical characteristics of the 

performance space.

If raising the slider for each frequency ends up distorting the sound, you can correct 

the distortion with the Master Level slider.

 

The “Equalizer screen” appears.

The optimal settings for piano performance are selected.

 

Boosts both the low- and high-frequency ranges.

 

Lows and highs are restrained for a pleasant-sounding tone.

 

This setting slightly boosts the midrange for a simple pop feeling.

 

This setting boosts the high frequencies for a brilliant, sparkling sound.

 

All slider values are set to “0.”

 

 

-60–0–+60

Low-frequency range. This is the range of 
frequencies for instruments like drums, bass, 
organ, guitar and strings.

 

-60–0–+60

Mid-low-frequency range. This is the range of 
frequencies for lower brass and woodwind 
instruments.

Raising the overall volume 

with the Master Level slider 

and the [Volume] knob when 

the frequency sliders are 

already at high levels not only 

may distort the sound and 

cause ear pain, it can also place 

unreasonable strain on the 

built-in speakers and internal 

circuitry. Use the KR at a 

moderate volume level.

When <Flat> is selected (when 

all sliders are at “0”), then even 

when [Equalizer] is pressed, 

the indicator does not light up.
