Roland KR111 Manuale Utente

KR111 Digital Intelligent Piano

Note: Please bear in mind that starting playback of the 
selected song on disk will erase the song in the USR memory. 
You may want to save the current song first (see p. 54).

(5) If necessary, change the song tempo with the 

Tempo [+][–] buttons.
Doing so, however, means that the tempo still 
changes if the song you are playing back contains 
tempo change messages. Furthermore, each time you 
jump to the beginning or another position of the 
song using [|√¥Reset], [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®], the pro-
grammed song tempo is reset.

Note: In Song mode, the KR111 automatically selects the 
Piano mode. If you like, you can play along with the song (and 
even use the Layer or Lower part).
Note: In certain cases, the display may show the message 
XG Light or GM2 rather than a Tone name. Such a 
message means that the KR111 is using a Tone that cannot 
be selected via the front panel. Such “hidden” Tones ensure 
XG/GM2 playback compatibility.

• To fast forward (jump to a measure later in the 

song), press [Fwd¥®®].

• To rewind (return to a measure that lies before the 

current position), press [√√¥Bwd].
The measure indication in the upper right corner of 
the display helps you locate the measure you need.

• Press [|√¥Reset] to jump back to the first measure of 

the song. You need to stop playback before using the 
[|√¥Reset] button.

Note: In certain cases, [Fwd¥®®] and [√√¥Bwd] may not be 
available. This is only the case for very large songs, however.
Note: By pressing [|√¥Reset], [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®], you also 
recall the song’s preprogrammed tempo value.

Another clever feature of the KR111’s Recorder is that 
you can program playback loops. You can do so during 
playback or while the Recorder is stopped.

(1) Press the [Count÷Marker] button.

The following message appears in the display:

(2) Press [®] to select the following parameter:

(3) Do one of the following:

• Start song playback by pressing the [Play÷Stop¥®÷ª] 

button. –or–

• Stop song playback and use [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®] to 

select the measure where you wish to insert the “A” 
marker.

(4) Press the [Enter] button (the 

 icon appears in the 

bottom right corner of the display).
The number of the selected measure appears to the 
left of “MARKER”. 

(5) If necessary, use [+][–] to change the measure num-

ber (to correct an erroneous selection).

(6) Press [®] to select the following parameter:

(7) Do one of the following:

• Wait until the Recorder reaches the measure where 

you want to insert the end marker… –or–

• Use [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®] to select the measure 

where you wish to insert the “B” marker…
…and…

(8) Press the [Enter] button (the 

 icon appears).

(9) If necessary, use [+][–] to change the measure num-

ber (to correct an erroneous selection).
If you program loops on the fly, i.e. during playback, 
the Recorder always memorizes the beginning 
(downbeat) of the next measure.

Now we need to tell the KR111 that it is to repeat the 
passage between the “A” and “B” measures:

(10) Press [®] to select the following parameter:

(11) Press [+] to set this parameter to “On”.

The loop you have just programmed is played back 
and the REPEAT icon appears in the display. (Press [–] 
to switch the REPEAT function off again.)

(If playback is still running, pressing [Play÷Stop¥®÷ª] 
stops it. In that case, you need to press that button 
again.)

The Recorder jumps to measure “A” and starts play-
ing. At the end of measure “B”, the Recorder immedi-
ately jumps back to the beginning of measure “A” and 
continues playing back the passage.
