This instrument, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.
Before using this instrument, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owners Manual.
This unit should be used only with a rack or stand that is recommended by Roland.
007 Make sure you always have the unit placed in such a way that it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.
Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the unit.
Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
Do not attempt to repair the EXR-46 OR, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information page.
The instrument should only be connected to a power supply of the type described in the operating instructions, or as marked on the adapter supplied with the EXR-46 OR.

.........

Do not excessively twist or bend the adapters power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards! In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all rules essential for the safe operation of the EXR-46 OR.
Never use or store the EXR-46 OR in places that are: Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are Humid; or are Exposed to rain; or are Dusty; or are Subject to high levels of vibration.
Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
Do not force the EXR-46 ORs adapter to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cordsthe total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cords outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through. Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the adapter from the outlet.

Placement

Using the EXR-46 OR near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this instrument or move it further away from the source of interference. This instrument may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use it in the vicinity of such receivers. Observe the following when using the units floppy disk drive. For further details, refer to Before using floppy disks (handling the floppy disk drive). Do not place the unit near devices that produce a strong magnetic field (e.g., loudspeakers). Install the EXR-46 OR on a solid, level surface. Do not move the unit or subject it to vibration while the drive is operating. Do not expose the EXR-46 OR to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the instrument. To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture. Do not allow objects to remain on top of the EXR-46 OR. This can be the cause of malfunction.

Repairs and data

Please be aware that all data contained in the instruments memory may be lost when it is sent for repairs. In certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data. Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional precautions

Please be aware that the memory contents can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the instrument. Use a reasonable amount of care when using the instruments buttons, other controls, and jacks/connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions. Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. When connecting/disconnecting cables, grasp the connector itself never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements. A small amount of heat will radiate from the instrument during normal operation. This is perfectly normal. To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the instruments volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially late at night). When you need to transport the instrument, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials, or a flightcase. Use only a recommended footswitch (DP-2, DP-6, sold separately). By connecting any other footswitch, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the EXR-46 OR.

Handling floppy disks

Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin magnetic coating. Microscopic precision is required to enable storage of large amounts of data on such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity, please observe the following when handling floppy disks: Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk. Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas. Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range: 10~50C (50~122F). Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers. Floppy disks have a WRITE tab which can protect the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the WRITE position only when you wish to write new data onto the disk.
Rear side of the disk WRITE (you can save data to the disk)

Liability and copyright

Should data contained and stored on a floppy disk be lost, it is unfortunately impossible to restore them. Roland Europe S.p.a. assumes no liability concerning such loss of data. Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law. Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. Roland assumes no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

Protect tab

PROTECT (you cannot save data)
Disks containing important performance data for this instrument should always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the PROTECT position) before you insert them into the drive of another instrument. The identification label should be firmly affixed to the disk. If the label comes loose while the disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk. Put the disk back into its case for storage.
Electromagnetic radiations
Electromagnetic radiations may cause a deterioration of audio performances. Such possible deterioration consists in an audio signal being emitted. On ceasing the electromagnetic noise, the emission of the audio signal will simultaneously stop.

Note: You can also save and load data via USB.
Z [USERPROGRAMWRITE] button Press this button whenever you want to select a User Program (a set of registrations). Press and hold it to save the current panel and parameter settings to a User Program. See page 45. a USER TONES section These buttons allow you to select the best sound of the indicated family (i.e. the best piano, organ, guitar/bass, etc. sound). After pressing one of these buttons, you can use FAMILY [][] and SELECT [][] to select other families and other Tones within the active family. (At a later stage, these can be recalled by double-clicking these buttons.) You can also assign your favorite sounds to these buttons. See Using the USER TONES buttons (p. 30) for details. b Disk drive, in the middle below the keyboard (not pictured) This is where you insert floppy disks with Standard MIDI Files or Music Styles you may already own. The drive accepts 2DD (720k) and 2HD (1.44MB) floppy disks.

Rear panel

A B C D E F
A OUTPUT R, L/MONO sockets These sockets allow you to connect the EXR-46 OR to your HiFi amplifier, a mixer, a cassette deck, a keyboard amplifier, etc. If the external amplifier is mono, be sure to connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO socket. B DC IN socket This is where you need to connect the supplied adapter (PSB-4U).
Note: Be sure to only use the adapter supplied with your EXR-46 OR. Other adapters may damage your Interactive Arranger.
E MIDI OUT/IN sockets Connect the MIDI OUT socket to the MIDI IN jack of your computer (or MIDI instrument) to transfer MIDI data from the EXR-46 OR to the computer or external MIDI instrument. Connect the MIDI IN socket of the EXR-46 OR to the computers MIDI OUT jack to receive data from the computer.
Note: The EXR-46 OR can also transmit/receive MIDI data via its USB port. To do so, you need to install the appropriate USB drivers from the supplied CD-ROM.
C Cord hook After connecting the adapter cable, wind it around the cord hook to the sockets right to prevent accidental power failures. D FOOTSWITCH socket This is where you can connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch that allows you to hold (sustain) the notes you play with your right hand. It can also be used for controlling other parameters (see FSW (Footswitch Assign) (p. 40)).

Stopping Arranger playback
(8) Press [STARTSTOP] again to stop playback. You can also press [ENDING]. In that case, you first hear an ending phrase. When it is finished, Arranger playback stops automatically. Alternatively, you can press the [SYNCSTARTSTOP] button twice in succession to activate the SYNC STOP function. If you then release all keys in the left half of the keyboard, playback stops at the same time.
To return to the Music Styles default tempo, simultaneously press [] and [+]. You can also press the [TAPTEMPO] button several times at the desired tempo.

TAP TEMPO

Automatic playback start (Sync Start & Stop)
Press [SYNCSTARTSTOP] (the SYNC START icon appears). Sync Start means that the Arranger starts playing back the selected Music Style as you play a note or a chord with your left hand (to the left of the split point).

SYNC START/STOP

In PIANO mode, Arranger playback will start when you press any note. The EXR-46 OR also provides a SYNC STOP option: quickly press [SYNCSTARTSTOP] twice (double-click) so that the SYNC START icon starts to flash. This will cause the Arranger to
(3) If you want to use a style on floppy disk, insert the disk into the drive.
EXR-46 OR (4) Use FAMILY [][] to select the memory area that contains the desired Music Style (see above).
Note: If you forgot to insert a floppy disk into the drive, the display shows No Disk when you attempt to select the disk family.
Using the Band Orchestrator function
The Band Orchestrator function allows you to vary the accompaniment patterns played by the Arranger. You can leave out parts, thin out the drum part, etc. in real-time (i.e. while you are playing). (1) Press the [ARRANGERBAND] button to select the Arranger mode. (2) Select the Music Style you wish to use for playing (or use the one that is currently selected). See page 16. (3) Press one of the following buttons to select the desired level of musical complexity (the corresponding icon is displayed):

FAMILY

The FAMILY buttons allow you to jump to the desired family (which also include the Flash and USER STL areas). The display now shows the name of the selected family.
(6) If necessary, confirm your selection by pressing the [+/YES] button. The display briefly shows LOADING (only after selecting a Style from the inserted floppy disk). If you selected a Music Style on floppy disk, the icon now flashes, and the EXR-46 OR automatically selects the USER STL memory that now contains the Music Style you loaded from floppy disk. If you press [+/YES] during Arranger playback, the new Style is used at the next downbeat (1st beat of the next measure). Otherwise, the EXR-46 OR displays its name and uses that Style when you press [STARTSTOP].

Loop playback (Repeat)

Another clever feature of the EXR-46 ORs Recorder is that you can program playback loops. You can do so during playback or while the Recorder is stopped. (1) Press [MARKERAB] where you want the loop to begin (the A icon appears in the bottom right corner of the display).
This button allows you to switch the EXR-46 ORs Repeat function on and off. (4) To play back the loop, press the [STARTSTOP] button (now called []). The Recorder jumps to measure A and starts playing. At the end of measure B, the Recorder immediately jumps back to the beginning of measure A and continues playing back the passage. If necessary, repeat steps (1) and (2) to set other marker positions.
Note: The playback tempo is reset every time the Recorder reaches the A measure. Note: In certain cases, the Marker function may not be available. This only happens with very large songs, however.
(Example: if you switch off the [DRUMS] button, the [10] icon starts flashing.)
Live performance with song backing (Minus One)
Your EXR-46 OR allows you to mute parts you wish to play yourself or dont need in a given situation. This is called Minus One playback. (1) Press the [SONG] button if it doesnt light. You can now select a Song, if you like (see p. 19). (2) Press the [MINUSONE] button (the MinusOne message appears in the display).
When a button lights, the corresponding track(s) is/are audible (i.e. not muted). You can also mute several tracks by switching off the corresponding LOCK buttons. The MINUS ONE icon appears and the selected part is muted.
Note: The Main part does not automatically adopt the Tone and related settings of the melody part.

MARKER AB

If you like, you can also mute several parts.

What are tracks?

The term track is used only for your convenience. We borrowed it from tape recorders that allow for recording several musical parts by the same person (one part after the other). In the case of the EXR-46 OR, the term is only used to indicate that we are dealing with separate musical parts. Here indeed (like with computer-based sequencers) what really counts are the MIDI channels. Songs you record with the EXR-46 OR, and the Standard MIDI Files you play back can consist of up to 16 tracks (i.e. MIDI channels). In many instances, only certain tracks are used, but the following are almost certainly present in every Standard MIDI File: Track 2: bass Track 4: melody Track 10: drums The LOCK buttons allow you to mute the following tracks: [RIGHT]Refers to track 4 of the selected Standard MIDI File. Music data for educational purposes (especially piano music) use this track for the right-hand part. Mute this track

(On/Off) Use this parameter to change the way in which the Arranger reads the chords you play. See p. 28.
I MI* (Melody Intelligence harmony type)
(Default setting: Traditnl) This parameter allows you to select the desired harmony type for the Melody Intelligence function.
Note: This parameter can also be selected by pressing and holding the [MELODYINTELLIGENCE] button. See p. 27.
I InEnCHRD* (Intro/Ending chord recognition)
In either case, pressing just a few keys is therefore enough for obtaining full chords. If you are used to playing full chords, you can switch this function off.
(On/Off, Default setting: Off) This parameter allows you to block chord recognition during playback of the Intro or Ending pattern of the selected Music Style in PIANIST mode. Unlike the normal patterns (Original, Variation), Intro and Ending patterns usually contain chord changes. If you select Off, chord recognition is active during Intro/Ending playback, so that the accompaniment may jump from one key to another. To avoid this, select On.
I Sync Stop* (system used for automatic stops)
I ArrHold* (Arranger Hold)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The Arranger Hold function memorizes the chords you play with your left hand and keeps playing the corresponding notes until you play another chord. If you switch off ArrHold, the melodic Arranger parts (A.Bass, Accomp) stop playing as soon as you release the key(s) in the left half of the keyboard, leaving you only with the drum accompaniment. For your convenience, this function is switched on every time you power on the EXR-46 OR.
I EP Chord (left-hand St. Strings + bass)
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The EP Chord function (for Educational Purposes) activates a stereo string sound and monophonic bass (if Auto Bass is set to on) whenever (a) the ARRANGER icon is displayed and (b) the Arranger is stopped. This allows you to play chords (and a bass line) with your left hand in Arranger mode without using the EXR-46 ORs accompaniment function. If you select Off, however, the left half of the keyboard will be muted when conditions (a) and (b) are met and if the SPLIT icon is not displayed.
(Int/Nor, Default setting: Nor) This parameter allows you to specify how the SYNC STOP function (see p. 16) should work. Select Nor if you want the Arranger to stop as soon as you release all keys in the chord recognition area (left side in ARRANGER mode, entire keyboard in PIANIST mode). When you play another chord, Arranger playback resumes from the beginning of the selected Style pattern. If you select Int, switch on the SYNC STOP (see p. 16) function and then release all keys in the chord recognition area, the Arranger stops on the next downbeat and all notes that are on at that time keep sounding (only if the ArrHold function is on). When you play another chord, Arranger playback resumes from the point it had reached when you released all keys in the chord recognition area.

Writing your settings to a User Program
It is a good idea to write your settings frequently, even if you still need to do some editing afterwards. Those intermediary saves allow you to return to the previous stage whenever you do not like your last modifications. (1) Press and hold the [USERPROGRAMWRITE] button.
(5) Press the [YES/+] button to save your settings to the selected memory. (Press [NO/] if you dont want to save them after all.) The display now responds with the Complete message.

Selecting a User Program

Though the User Program memory you specified above is already selected, there will be times when you need to select another memory. In that case, here is what you need to do: (1) Briefly press [USERPROGRAMWRITE] (it lights). Do not hold this button down because doing so will start the Write procedure (see above).

USER PROGRAM

Notes about writing User Programs
Leaving the User Program environment
Press any other big DATA ENTRY button to leave the User Program environment.
The EXR-46 OR now displays -Write ?. (2) Enter the number of the memory where you wish to save your settings using the numeric buttons [0]~[9].
Meaning of the flashing number
At some stage, you may notice that the User Program number flashes. It means that the last User Program you selected is still in effect but that the current settings no longer correspond to the ones in that memory. Such changes may include the status of the Reverb or Chorus effect, a changed volume value, etc. Before selecting another User Program or switching off the EXR-46 OR, you should therefore write these settings to the same (or a different) User Program if you want to keep them. Otherwise, you lose these changes.
The Yes message starts flashing. (3) Press [YES+] to confirm the number. (4) Now use the numeric buttons [0]~[9] to name your User Program.

Mode selection

The mode (Arranger, p. 15, Piano Solo, p. 13, Pianist, p. 27) is also memorized when you write a User Program.
The display now shows the number of the User Program you selected last, or 1 if you have not yet selected a User Program since switching on the EXR-46 OR. The flashing number indicates that the EXR-46 OR is still using the last manual changes you may have made before selecting the User Program function. It only means this is the last memory you selected. None of its settings are being used for the time being. By pressing another big button in the DATA ENTRY section, you can leave the User Program mode without changing your manual settings. This may be important to remember if

MIDI Function parameters

See Editing parameters (general procedure) (p. 39) for how to select and set these Function parameters (they belong to the MIDI family).
The EXR-46 OR transmits and receives data (*) If you connect the EXR-46 ORs USB port to a computer, etc., the MIDI IN and OUT ports are no longer used. This only works when the icon is NOT displayed.
Note: With the exception of Local, all MIDI parameter settings are saved as soon as you leave the Function mode.

I Local

I Sync Rx (MIDI synchronization)

Channels

MIDI can simultaneously transmit and receive messages on 16 channels, so that up to 16 instruments can be controlled. Nowadays, most instruments like your EXR-46 OR are multitimbral, which means that they can play several musical parts with different sounds.
(On/Off, Default setting: On) The Local parameter allows you to establish or remove the connection between the EXR-46 ORs keyboard/Recorder and the internal tone generator. When set to ON (default), playing on the EXR-46 ORs keyboard or playing back a Recorder song will cause the corresponding notes to sound. If you select OFF, the corresponding
Use this parameter to specify how the EXR-46 OR should be synchronized (as slave) to an external MIDI sequencer, computer, drum machine, etc. Synchronization is a learned term for the fact that one device (or function) is set to start and stop at the same time as another device (or function), and to run at the same tempo (BPM).
r EXR-46 OR Please note that synchronization is only possible when you connect the external devices MIDI OUT socket to the EXR-46 ORs MIDI IN socket (though you can also work the other way around; in that case, see the sequencers manual for details). Off In this case, the EXR-46 OR is not synchronized with other MIDI devices. It is thus impossible to start/stop it via MIDI. Arranger playback and Song recording/playback are synchronized if the EXR-46 OR receives MIDI Start and Stop messages followed by MIDI Clock signals. If the EXR-46 OR receives only a Start message, it will wait a moment to see if there are also MIDI Clock messages coming. If there are, it will synchronize to them. If there are no MIDI Clock messages, it will follow its own tempo. In either case, you can stop playback or recording with a MIDI Stop message. NTA notes can only be received (they are not transmitted). The notes you play on the EXR-46 ORs keyboard are indeed transmitted to the Arranger, from there to the Arranger parts, and used to play the accompaniment in the right key. Since all Music Style notes are transmitted via MIDI, there is no need to send the NTA notes separately.

A World of Exotic Music under Your Fingertips
Add international appeal to your personal studio or stage with the new EXR-46 OR Rolands most authentic and versatile Oriental-themed keyboard. As the newest addition to Rolands arranger-keyboard family, the EXR-46 OR retains many of the popular design characteristics of its predecessor (EXR-40 OR), but improves and builds upon the fundamental elements: sounds, styles, and Music Assistant features.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The EXR-46 OR is pre-installed with so many excellent sounds and patterns, theres no need for additional expansion boards, sound libraries, or other costly upgrades. With over 30% more wave ROM than its EXR-40 OR predecessor, the EXR-46 OR offers dozens of authentic sounds, drum kits, and phrase samples from a wide range of Arabian Gulf-region countries. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With dozens of authentic Music Styles preprogrammed into the EXR-46 OR, song arrangements can be created quickly and easily in real time. Thanks to the level of care and quality that went into the sound design and pattern creation, the EXR-46 OR perfectly captures the musical spirit of Turkey, Syria, Iran, and other colorful locales.

Expanded Sound Bank

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In order to realize the highest level of authenticity, the EXR-46 OR was designed in collaboration with musical masters from each stylistic region. Combined with the EXR-46 ORs high-resolution sound engine, these custom-made waveforms and patterns are amazingly realistic to the ear. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Performing and programming drum/percussion parts is made easy on the EXR-46 OR thanks to its automatic Drum Pad mapping capabilities. This handy feature instantly reassigns the highest range of keyboard (F6C7) to function as dedicated drum pads.
