Introduction

Main Features

Piano sounds with rich resonance and wide expressive range

This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is capable of faithfully recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano, realistically reproducing even the finest details, including the sound of the hammers striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, it has ample capability even for performances that make full use of pedaling.

More than three hundred different sounds covering not only piano, but a wide range of other instruments are builtin. You can also play drum sets from the keyboard.

The playing feel of a grand piano

The PHA alpha II keyboard gives you a weighty playing feel in the low register while becoming lighter in the high register, replicating the authentic feel of a piano.

The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by changing the depth to which you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which subtle differences in pedaling affect the sound.

Compact design

The cabinet depth of only 34 cm leaves you free to place the F-110 anywhere in your room, and the choice of cabinet variations (satin black and white) will cater to all tastes. The folding lid allows the keyboard to be safely covered when closed and also serves as a music rest when raised up.

The versatile functionality you expect from a digital piano

Replicating the ambience of a concert hall

In addition to a high-quality reverb effect, these instruments also feature a 3D Sound Control function, which replicates the spatial depth of a full concert grand piano, and a Dynamic Sound Control function, which enhances the consistency and power of the sound. Even when performing through headphones, you can use these effects to enjoy sounds with superb presence.

Convenient functions to help you practice, and built-in piano songs with accompaniment

A metronome function, a three-track recorder, and internal preset songs with orchestral accompaniment make this electronic piano an excellent choice for piano lessons.

Performing and saving data

The data you’ve recorded using the recorder can be saved in the F-110’s internal memory.

Introduction

General MIDI

The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

GS Format

The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for standardizing the performance of sound generating devices. In addition to including support for everything defined by the General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus. Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily include new sounds and support new hardware features when they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).

XGlite

XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone generation format. You can play back any XG music files using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some music files may play back differently compared to the original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow lighting devices that normally are used while their light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the finish.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, 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, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure that no pets or other small animals are located on top of the instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the keyboard and its lid).

Before You Play

About the Pedals

The pedals perform the following operations. You’ll use them mainly when playing piano.

fig.Pedals-e.eps_88

Soft Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Damper Pedal

Damper Pedal (right 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. The F-110 simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).

You can switch the function of the sostenuto pedal and the soft pedal. Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work (Center/Left Pedal Function)” (p. 51).

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the F-110 while the power is turned on, the pedal effect will remain applied. You must connect or disconnect the pedal cable while the F-110’s power is switched off.

Listening through Headphones

You can use headphones to enjoy the F-110 without disturbing those around you, such as at night. Since the F-110 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.

fig.Headphones-e.eps_88

Headphones

You can modify the sound of the sympathetic vibration. Refer to p. 54.

Sostenuto Pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the notes of the keys that were already pressed when you pressed the pedal.

Soft Pedal (left 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.

Plug the headphones into the headphones jack located at the left of the F-110’s bottom panel.

If headphones are connected, no sound will be output from the F-110’s speakers.

Use the F-110’s [VOLUME] knob (p. 21) to adjust the

headphone volume.

Cautions when Using Headphones

• To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors, avoid rough handling. When using headphones, mainly try to handle either the plug or the headset.

• Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a device is already turned up when you plug them in. Minimize the volume before you plug in the headphones.

• Excessive input will not only damage your hearing, but may also strain the headphones. Please enjoy music at an appropriate volume.

• Use headphones that have a stereo 1/4” phone plug.

Before You Play

Using the Headphone Hook

Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them on the headphone hook of the F-110.

Attaching the Headphone Hook

Press and twist the headphone hook included with the F-110 into the hole in the bottom left of the F-110 (refer to the figure below).

Turn the headphone hook wing nut to secure the

headphone hook.

fig.Bottom-hook.eps_88

Headphone hook

Do not hang anything other than headphones on the headphone hook. Doing so may damage the instrument or the hook.

Performing

Performing with a Variety of Sounds

The F-110 features over 300 different internal sounds, allowing you to enjoy performing with sounds suitable for many different types of music.

These onboard sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into 4 different groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.

The Tone “Grand Piano 1” is selected when the instrument’s power is turned on.

fig.SoundSelect.eps_88

Press a Tone button to select a tone group.

You’ll hear the Tone assigned to Tone number 1 in the selected Tone Group. Play a few notes on the keyboard.

The display will indicate the number of the currently selected tone.

You can use the Memory Backup function to store this setting in internal memory (p. 59).

Description

This sets the standard keyboard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

You have to finger the keyboard more forcefully than “medium” in order to play fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic fingering adds even more feeling to what you play.

This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

Adding Reverberation to Sounds (Reverb Effect)

You can apply a reverb effect to the notes you play on the keyboard. With the reverb effect, you obtain a pleasant reverberation, making it sound as if you were performing in a concert hall or similar space.

fig.Reverb.eps_88

Changing the Depth of the Reverb Effect

You can select from ten levels of depth for the reverb effect.

Hold down the [Reverb] button and press the [–] or [+] button.

The depth for the reverb effect appears in the display.

fig.d-4.eps_88

You can use the Memory Backup function to store this setting in internal memory (p. 59).

You cannot make separate reverb effect depth settings for each individual tone. The effect will be applied with the same depth to all tones.

This will not change the reverb depth for the song that is playing back.

Press the [Reverb] button so it’s lit.

(If you haven’t pressed this button since switching on the F-110, its indicator will already be lit, so there is no need to press it.)

Play a few notes on the keyboard. The reverb effect is applied to the entire tone.

Turning Off the Reverb Effect

Press the [Reverb] button so its light is turned off.

Reverb will not be applied if Twin Piano is turned on with Twin Piano Mode “2” selected.

Performing

Changing the Key of the Keyboard (Transpose)

The “Transpose” function lets you play a song at a different key. If you’re accompanying a singer, you can use the Transpose function to shift the pitch to a key that’s comfortable for the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key (fingering).

You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing your fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with numerous sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

fig.Transp.eps_88

On the F-110, you can transpose the pitch of just the keyboard, or the pitch of the keyboard and song together, or the pitch of just the song (Playback Transpose; p. 35) (Transpose Mode; p. 49).

When the F-110 is shipped from the factory, it is set so that the pitch of the keyboard and song will be transposed together.

By holding down the [Transpose] button and pressing both the [–] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting can be returned to its original value (0).

If the Transpose mode is set to transpose only the song playback (“Sng”), the notes of the keyboard will not be transposed.

Note that when using the keyboard to change the transposition value, the setting could be incorrect if you’ve pressed a multiple number of keys. To see if you’ve specified the correct transposition value, release the [Transpose] button, then press it again.

The transposition value reverts to “0” when you turn off the power or select another song.

Example: Playing a Song in the Key of E Major After Transposition to C Major

Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the E key (since E is the tonic).

Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears in the display.

fig.Transpose.eps_88

If you play C E G It will sound E G# B

Hold down the [Transpose] button and press the key corresponding to the tonic of the desired key. (In this case, the note will not sound.)

The value of the Transpose setting continues to appear in the display while the [Transpose] button is held down.

fig.d-0.eps_88

ou can also adjust this setting by holding down the

[Transpose] button and using the [–]

The available range is -6–0–5 (semitone steps). If this is set to a value other than 0, the [Transpose] button

When you release the [Transpose] button, you return to the previous screen.

[+] buttons.

Performing with Two Layered Tones (Dual Play)

You can play two different sounds from a single key at the same time. This method of performance is called “Dual Play.”

As an example, let’s try layering piano and strings sounds.

fig.SoundSelect.eps_88

Hold down the [Piano] button and press the [Strings] button.

The indicators for both buttons light. Play a few notes on the keyboard. Both the piano and strings

sounds play. Pressing two Tone buttons at the same time in this manner

activates Dual Play. Of the two selected tones, the one for the tone button at left

is called “Tone 1” and the one for the button at right is called “Tone 2.”

You can’t select Dual Play if you’ve turned on Split Performance or Twin Piano.

Turning Off Dual Play

Press any one of the Tone buttons.

Now you’ll hear only the tone of the button you pressed.

You can change the pitch of Tone 2 an octave at a time. Refer to “Changing the Pitch in Octave Steps (Octave Shift)” (p. 49).

If you press the damper pedal while using Dual Performance, the effect will be applied to both Tone 1 and Tone 2. However, you can change this setting so that the damper pedal will affect only one of the tones. Refer to “Changing How the Damper Pedal is Applied (Damper Pedal Part)” (p. 51).

Depending on the combination of the two tones, the effect may not be applied to Tone 2.

Performing

Performing with Different Tones in the Left and Right Sides of the Keyboard (Split Play)

Performing with the keyboard divided at a certain key into a left side and a right side is called “Split Play,” and the point at which the keyboard is divided is called the “split point.” In Split Play, you can have a different tone sound in the left and right sides.

At the factory settings the split point is set to “F 3.” The split point key is included in the left side. While in Split Play, a sound played in the right side is called a “right-hand tone,” and the sound played in the left side is called a “left-

hand tone.”

Dividing the Keyboard for Two-person Performance (Twin Piano)

You can divide the keyboard into left and right sections so that two people can play the same range of pitches.

This means that you’ll be able to use the keyboard as though it were two separate pianos.

For example, this provides a convenient way for one person to follow along with another person’s performance to check it. See the illustration at the bottom of this page.

When you turn Twin Piano on (by selecting “1” or “2”), the instrument will be in the following state.

• The keyboard will be divided into left and right sections, with “middle C” located in the center of each section.

• The left and right sections will have the same sound (Grand Piano 1).

• The right pedal will be the damper pedal for the right section, and the left pedal will be the damper pedal for the left section.

• If the Split function or the Dual function was on when you turned Twin Piano on, the Split function and the Dual function will be turned off.

• 3D Sound Control and the effect will be off.

Tuning Settings

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tuning.”

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning.

Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

Specifying the Tonic

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the tonic note for tuning the song to be performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor key).

What’s 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-110 is equipped with MIDI connectors to let it exchange performance data with external devices. These connectors can be used to connect the F-110 to an external device for even greater versatility.

Making the Connection

Turn the volume all the way down on the F-110 and on the MIDI device you’re about to connect.

Connecting a Computer

You can use a USB MIDI interface cable (sold separately) to connect the F-110 to your computer.

If the F-110 is connected to a computer in which sequencer software is installed, a song you’ve recorded on the F-110 can be saved on your computer.

Connection Examples

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other

devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

* In order to make connections to your computer, you must

install “MIDI driver” software on your computer. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for your MIDI interface.

Use a USB MIDI interface cable to connect the USB connector of your computer to the MIDI connectors of the F-110.

connectors

Switch off the power to the F-110 and the MIDI device you’re about to connect.

Use MIDI cables (sold separately) to connect the MIDI connectors to each other.

Switch on the power to the F-110 and the connected device.

Adjust the volume level on the F-110 and the

connected device.

You should also set the MIDI transmit channel as

needed (p. 58).

Troubleshooting

If you think there’s a problem, read this first.

Symptom

Power does not turn on

Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”

“Buzz” is heard from external devices

Device connected to the Input jacks have insufficient volume

No sound

No sound when you play back a song

No sound from the leftmost notes of the keyboard

No sound (when a MIDI device is connected)

Not all the notes you play are sounded

Notes don’t sound right

Pitch of the keyboard or song is incorrect

Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played

Cause/Action Page

Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?

Is the pedal connected correctly? Plug the cable firmly into the pedal connector.

If you disconnect the pedal cable from the F-110 while the power is on, the pedal effect may remain “stuck” in the On condition. You must switch off the F-110’s power before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cable.

If you’ve switched the function of the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal, these pedals will not operate as the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal.

Are the external devices connected to more than one AC power outlet? If you connect external devices, be sure to connect them to the same AC outlet.

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Could the F-110’s volume or the volume of the connected equipment be turned down?

Could headphones be connected? Could there be a plug inserted in a headphone jack? The speakers will not produce sound if headphones or plug are connected to the headphone jacks.

Has Local Control been set to “Off”? When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced by playing back a song. Set Local Control to On.

Could the song volume be set to “0”? p. 34

Is V-LINK switched on? When V-LINK is on, the lowest twelve notes of the keyboard are used to control the image, and will not produce sound.

Are all devices powered on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? p. 64

Do the MIDI channels of the F-110 and the connected device match? p. 58

The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes. If you’re using the Dual performance, if you’re playing along with a song, or if you’re making extensive use of the damper pedal, the performance data may exceed the available polyphony, possibly causing some of the notes you play to drop out.

Could you have made Transpose settings?

Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? p. 52

Is the setting for the Temperament correct? p. 52

Is the F-110 in Dual performance mode? p. 27

When the F-110 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to off. Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

The wrong instrument is selected when you press the [E. Piano], [Strings], or [Others] button

Effect not applied

Reverberation remains even if you defeat the Reverb effect

The sound of the higher notes suddenly changes from a certain key

High-pitched ringing is heard

Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy

Song does not play correctly

Song won’t play

Only the sound of a particular instrument in a song does not play

Can’t record / play back

Can’t record

The recorded performance disappeared

Cause/Action Page

The Tone buttons [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.” With the factory settings, connecting the F-110 to a computer running “VIMA TUNES PLAYER” and selecting a song produced for the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] Tone buttons, so that you can select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons. You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.

When you are using Dual performance or Split performance, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the effect will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual performance) or the left-hand tone (when using Split performance).

The F-110’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated the Reverb effect. * Lowering the Key Off Resonance (p. 54) may improve matters.

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. F-110 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the F-110, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the transpose setting.

If you hear this in headphones:

Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the characteristics of an actual piano are being faithfully reproduced; it does indicate a malfunction. This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb effect is applied heavily, so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or the nearest Roland service center.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the F-110 to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances.

• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.

• Keep the volume down.

• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

If you hear this in headphones:

It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.

If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down the volume.

Does the indication “dEL” appear in the screen? Internal songs cannot be played if you have recorded a performance and not yet saved it. Delete this performance data, and then play back the song.

Could a track be muted? Muted tracks are not played back. Hold down the [ press [E. Piano], [Strings] and/or [Others] (the indicator must light).

Has one of the track buttons for recording been selected?

Your recorded performance will disappear if you switch off the F-110’s power or select a song. There is no way to recover the lost performance. Before you turn off the power, save your recorded performance in internal Memory.
