Looking for a Roland keyboard?
Here is what you can expect to find on your Roland midi-keyboard.
Broadly speaking, a Roland midi keyboard consists of a sound generator section, a controller section, and a song player section.
Sound Generator Section
This section is responsible for producing the sound! It is a piece of hardware that is built within the keyboard and is not visible from the outside.
The sound generator section receives MIDI messages from the controller section, song player section, or an external MIDI device, and generates musical sound based on the MIDI messages that are received.
The generated musical sound is then output through the output jacks and headphone jack.
Controller Section
This section consists of the keys on the keyboard, pitch bend / modulation lever, the panel buttons and knobs, D Beam controller, and pedals connected to the rear panel.
All the performance related information that is generated when you press / release a key, or press / hold pedal are transmitted as MIDI messages to the sound generator section.
Song Player Section
The Song Player is used to play back audio files or SMF data saved in USB memory.
It can also play rhythm patterns in a variety of styles. You can play along on the keyboard accompanied by the song or rhythm pattern played by the Song Player.
When using the Song Player to play songs, you can also create a playlist, using the included Playlist Editor, to specify the order in which songs will play.
