Note when placing the FP-10 on a stand
Be sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual carefully when placing this unit on a stand. If it is not set up properly, you risk creating an unstable situation which could lead to the unit falling or the stand toppling,
and may result in injury.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that’s played when you nger 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.”

Changing the Key of the Keyboard (Transpose)

The keyboard can be transposed in semitone steps.
When do I use this?
5 When you want to perform at a pitch that’s comfortable for the
singer’s voice, without changing the printed score (your ngering on the keyboard)
5 When you want to transpose a song that’s written in a dicult key
(with numerous sharps (¾) or ats (²)) to make it easier for you to play
For example if a song is in the key of E major but you want to play it using the ngering of the C major scale, you would set the keyboard transpose setting to “4.”
If you play C E G0It will sound E G B

Troubleshooting

Problem Items to check Action Page
Even though you’re using headphones to mute the sound, the keystrokes make a clattering sound when you play the keyboard
Power turns o on its own
Power does not turn on Is the AC adaptor connected correctly?
Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”
“Buzz” is heard from external devices
No sound
Sound is output even though headphones are connected to the PHONES jack
Notes don’t sound right
Pitch of the keyboard or song is incorrect
Notes are interrupted
Sounds are heard twice (doubled) when the keyboard is played
Reverberation remains even if you defeat the Ambience eect
The sound of the higher notes suddenly changes from a certain key
High-pitched ringing is heard
Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy
The keyboard of this piano is designed to simulate the mechanism of an acoustic piano. Even on an acoustic piano, the keystrokes produce sound when you play the keyboard. This is not a malfunction.
Could the auto-o setting be something other than “Disabled”?
Is the pedal connected correctly? – Could you have disconnected or
connected the pedal cord while the power was on?
Could Twin Piano be set to “PAIR” or “INDIVIDUAL”? If Twin Piano is set to “PAIR” or “INDIVIDUAL,” the damper pedal works only for the right-hand side of the
keyboard.
Are the external devices connected to more than one AC power outlet?
Are your amp, speakers, headphones, etc., connected correctly? p. 3 Is the volume turned down? p. 4 Could headphones or an adaptor plug be inserted in the PHONES jacks? Sound is not output if you’ve made settings so that sound is not output from the internal speakers.
Could you have made settings so that sound is output from the internal speakers? p. 8
Could you have made Transpose settings? p. 8 Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? p. 7 Could you be holding down the damper pedal and sounding a large number of notes? Could you be using Dual Play or playing along with a song?
Is the unit in Dual Play?
Could the unit be connected to an external sequencer?
Even if the Ambience eect is o, the acoustic piano’s own resonance remains. p. 6
This simulates the characteristics of an acoustic piano, and is not a malfunction. The sound will change where there is a change in the number of strings per key or a transition from
wound strings to unwound strings.
If you don’t hear it through headphones: It may be that the unit has malfunctioned. Please contact your dealer or a Roland customer service center.
If you also hear it through headphones: To decrease the metallic ringing, adjust the “Ambience” settings.
Could the volume be set to maximum?
If you also hear it through headphones: It may be that the unit has malfunctioned. Please contact your dealer or a Roland customer service center.
If you don’t hear it through headphones: Objects near the unit are resonating because of the high volume of sound coming from the speakers. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances.
5 Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces. 5 Keep the volume down. 5 Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the Auto O setting “Disabled.”
Power-o the unit before you connect or disconnect the pedal cord.
If you connect external devices, be sure to connect them to the same AC outlet.
Hold down the [FUNCTION] button and press the C1 key to disable Dual Play.
If you don’t want the other sound module to produce sound, turn your DAW’s soft thru function “o.”
