Main features
Superior sound source
The KR103's sounds are based on full-length (uncom-
pressed) waveforms. This produces vibrant, realistic
sounds. The KR103's tone generator is 64-voice poly-
phonic. Many sounds have been processed and edited
to provide an even more authentic response.
Combined with the new amplification system, the
KR103 sounds truly amazing, with a clear high end and
a powerful low range.
Two instruments in one
The KR103 can be used as piano, arranger keyboard (i.e.
a synthesizer with automatic accompaniment) or a
combination of both – all at the touch of a button.
Piano Tones that rely on stereo sampling
The Roland technology used ensures that your KR103
offers some of the finest concert grand piano sounds
ever created.
New concept
The KR103 is 19-part multitimbral, with 3 parts that
can be played via the keyboard (Upper, Layer and
Lower). The Upper part can be used to play piano parts,
melodies, or for drumming, while the Lower and Layer
parts allow you to quickly add a second sound to your
solo playing.
Furthermore, the KR103 provides a new selection rou-
tine for Music Styles, Tones, songs, and User Programs.
The KR103 also sports a Piano Arranger function that
allows you to play chords anywhere on the keyboard.
Excellent Arranger
The KR103 comes loaded with more than 160 all-new
Music Styles prepared by Roland's legendary Style
foundry. As usual, several patterns are available (INTRO,
ORIGINAL, VARIATION, FILL-IN and ENDING), with addi-
tional options via the STYLE ORCHESTRATOR buttons.

And much, much more...
A metronome and several educational functions are
provided, while three digital effects processors (Reverb,
Chorus and MFX) can be used to further enhance the
already amazing sound quality.
The KR103 can play back GM, GM2, GS and XG song
data, so that you can virtually use any Standard MIDI
File available at your Roland dealer or on the Internet.
The KR103 is also equipped with a floppy disk drive
(2DD/2HD) for data management and importing Music
Styles prepared for older Roland arranger instruments.
Note: The KR103 supports XG Light and therefore only provides
the basic set of compatible functions.
