hook.

Headphone jacks
Since this unit has two headphone jacks, two people can also use headphones
simultaneously.
If you’re using only one set of headphones, you may connect them to either of
the two headphone jacks.

Don’t forget to remove your headphone adaptor plug!

If you leave a headphone adaptor plug inserted in the headphone jack,
no sound will be heard from the piano. If you don’t hear sound from the
piano, check the headphone jacks.

* Do not hang anything other than headphones on the headphone

hook. Do not apply undue force to the hook. Otherwise, you risk
damaging the hook.

Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even
if you release your fingers from the keyboard. The length of the sustain will change subtly depending on how deeply
you press the pedal. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the strings for notes other
than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. This unit
simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already pressed when you pressed the pedal. This pedal can
also be used to control other functions (p. 23).

Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not
as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an
acoustic piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal. This pedal
can also be used to control other functions (p. 23).

Chord recognition when [Split] is on

This parameter allows you to specify how the F-120R should recognize the chords you play to “feed”
the Rhythm function while the [Split] button is on, i.e. when you need to play chords in the left half
of the keyboard.
STD: This is the normal chord recognition mode.
STD (Standard), INT EASY: This is an “intelligent” chord fingering system. It supplies the missing notes of the “chords”

Minor chords Fundamental + any black key to the left of the fundamental.
Seventh chords Fundamental + any white key to the left of the fundamental.
Minor seventh chords Fundamental + any black key to the left + any white key to the left

INT: Select this option when you want the chord recognition function to supply the missing notes
of the chords you play.

Specifying how the bass part should work

This function is only available if the [Split] button lights. (If the [Split] button is off, the “ON” setting

recognized as a C major chord), the bass part plays a C.
If the “BassInv” is set to “ON”, the rhythm’s bass part uses the lowest notes of the chords you play.
Example: if you play a chord consisting of the notes E, G and C (still a C major chord), the bass part
plays an E. This function therefore gives you more artistic licence.

Volume of the left-hand Tone in ‘Split TONE’ mode

assigned to the right and left keyboard halves. The higher the value, the louder
the “LT” sound will be.

Function of the sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

This parameter allows you to assign a different function to the sostenuto pedal.
Most alternative functions are related to the F-120R’s Rhythm accompaniments.
Sostenuto The pedal acts as sostenuto pedal for piano Tones (this is the default
setting).

Reset/Start Pressing the sostenuto pedal causes the selected rhythm pattern to
restart from the beginning. This can be handy if you are lost and no
longer know when you should play the next note.
Bend Up The pedal allows you to temporarily bend the notes played on the
keyboard upwards.

What is MIDI Visual Control?

MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be
linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments
via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.

What is V-LINK?
V-LINK is Roland’s proprietary specification that allows visual expression to be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is
compatible with V-LINK can be connected to electronic musical instruments via their MIDI ports, making it easy to enjoy a variety of visual
effects that are linked with the performance.

Connection examples
Connect a MIDI cable from this unit’s MIDI Out connector to the MIDI In connector of your Visual Control compatible device.
* You’ll need a MIDI cable (sold separately) in order to connect this unit to a device that supports Visual Control.

MIDI Transmit Channel
1 (default: 1)
MIDI uses sixteen MIDI channels, which are numbered 1 through 16. By connecting MIDI devices
and specifying the appropriate MIDI channel for each device, you can play or select sounds on
those devices. The F-120R receives on all sixteen channels (1~16).

What is MIDI?
MIDI, short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” was developed as a universal standard for the exchange of performance data among electronic musical instruments
and computers.
The F-120R is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the unit to an external
device for even greater versatility.

power screwdriver when tightening the screws to their final position. Doing so may strip the threads.
* Tighten the screws firmly, and place the unit at a location that is level and sure to remain stable. Never place the unit on a shag carpet. If you do so, the pedal may be unstable,
causing damage.
* Do not place the body of the piano directly on the floor. Doing so will damage the jacks and holders on the bottom of the piano, and also damage the bottom panel case.
