IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• 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.

302

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

307

• 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

351

• 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.

352a

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

352b

• 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.

354a

• 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. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• 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.

358

• 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.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

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

Additional Precautions

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• 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.

556

• 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.

558a

• 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).

559a

• 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.

560

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

561

• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

• 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.

Handling CD-ROMs

801

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

fig.00-01

fig.00-02

Before you begin making connections, confirm the following.

Is the volume level of the FP-2 turned all the way down? Is the power to the FP-2 turned off?

Connect the supplied Power Cord to the supplied AC adaptor.

AC adaptor

Power cord

Power outlet

Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the FP-2, and then plug its other end into a power outlet.

Loop the AC adaptor cord around the cord hook to fasten it in place.

927

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Before You Play

Installing the Music Stand

fig.00-03

Using the supplied screws, attach the music stand to the back of the FP-2 as illustrated.

Be sure to use the supplied screws for attaching the music stand. Turn the screws clockwise until they’re held in place–but don’t tighten them yet.

Put the music stand between the screws and the

FP-2’s body.

While supporting the music stand with one hand,

secure it in place by turning the screws.

When attaching the music stand, support it firmly with one hand to make sure that you don’t drop it. Be careful, so you don’t get your fingers pinched.

To remove the music stand, support it with one hand while loosening the screws.

After removing the music stand, don’t forget to retighten the screws.

* Do not apply excessive force to the installed music stand.

Using the stand

When using the stand (FPS-11A), be sure to affix the spacers that are provided with the stand, as shown in the figure.

fig.00-03

Connecting Pedals

Connect the pedal included with the FP-2 to one of the Pedal jacks.

When connected to the Damper jack, the pedal can be used as a damper pedal.

When connected to Sostenuto(FC1) jack, the pedal can be used as a sostenuto pedal. In addition, it can be set to function as an another works (p. 39, p. 48).

When connected to Soft(FC2) jack, the pedal can be used as a soft pedal. In addition, it can be set to function as an another works (p. 39, p. 48).

* Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on

may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping. The power of the FP-2 must be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal cord.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be added to the sound after you release from the keys.

The pedal included with the FP-2 functions as a half-damper pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance.

When you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, the sound from the strings that were struck resonates with other strings, adding rich reverberations and broadness to the sound. You can adjust this resonance (sympathetic resonance) when the damper pedal is depressed.

* Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous” when

the pedal is connected.

Sostenuto Pedal

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

→

With the pedal connected to the Sostenuto(FC1) jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup (Pedal shift)” (p. 48).

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.

→

With the pedal connected to the Soft(FC2) jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup (Pedal shift)” (p. 48).

→

By obtaining a second and third pedal, you can then use three pedals simultaneously. If you wish to purchase the optional pedal (DP series), please contact the dealer where you purchased the FP-2.

What is Session Partner?

“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel

“Session Partner” is an easy-to-use function that plays accompaniment in a variety of musical styles.

Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you the feel that you are playing live with a band backing you.

For example, playing with “Session Partner” instead of using the metronome always lets you practice the piano with something different.

You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are playing.

By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody, you can easily create all kinds of new arrangements.

We encourage you to enjoy the variety of performance options open to you by using the “Session Partner” feature.

What You Can Do With “Session Partner”

“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.

• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord progression continues automatically (p. 28).

• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify chords with the left hand (the left part of the keyboard) (p. 31).

• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord progressions (p. 32).

“Session Partner” lets you add accompaniment with the “rhythms” and performance parts you select.

You can play intros, endings, and fill-ins (short phrases inserted at transition points in the song) by pressing buttons as you play the keyboard.

What are the FP-2’s “

The FP-2 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other various musical genres.

“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate the mood or signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the accompaniment used in “Session Partner.”

Rhythms?”

A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.

• Drum Part

• Bass Part

• Chord Part

You can select the part to be played with the [Part] button.

Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms

Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches (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 basic pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tuning.”

When the instrument is turned on, the standard pitch is set to “440.0 Hz.”

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.

Switch to Function mode (p. 38), and press the

[Transpose] button.

fig.04-06

Temperament

Press the [-] or [+] button to change the temperament.

You can choose from among the seven tunings described below.

Temperament Qualities

Equal In this tuning, each octave is divided

into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance. This setting is in effect when you turn on the power.

Pythagorean This tuning, devised by the philosopher

Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and ﬁfths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

Just Major This tuning eliminates ambiguities in

the ﬁfths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.

Just Minor The Just tunings differ from major and

minor keys. You can get the same effect with the minor scale as with the major scale.

Mean Tone This scale makes some compromises in

just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

We rckmeister This temperament combines the Mean

Tone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (ﬁrst technique, III).

Tonic

Temperament Qualities

Kirnberger This is an improvement of the Mean

Tone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).

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.

Connecting to the USB Connector

You can use a USB connector to connect the FP-2 to your computer. For more details, refer to the separate “USB Installation Guide.”

* Connecting your computer to the FP-2 for the first time

requires installation of the “USB Driver” (on the included CD-ROM) to the computer. For more details, refer to the separate “USB Installation Guide.”

* Only MIDI data can be transmitted using USB.

Set the volume of the FP-2 and the connected

devices to the minimum position.

Turn off the power to the FP-2.

Turn off the connected equipment.

About the FP-2 Sound Generator

The FP-2 come equipped with GM2 sound generators.

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.

* 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.

* USB cables are not included. Consult your Roland dealer if

you need to purchase.

* Turn on the power to the FP-2 before starting up MIDI

applications on the computer. Do not turn the FP-2 on or off while any MIDI application is running.

* Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while the FP-2’s

power is on.

* If not using USB, disconnect the USB cable from the FP-2.

* If, during the transmission/reception of data, the computer

switches to energy-saving mode or suspended mode, or if the FP-2’s power is switched on or off, the computer may freeze, or the FP-2’s operation may become unstable.

* When using your computer’s sequencer software to record

FP-2 performances, we recommend setting the sequencer software’s Soft Thru to “OFF,” or setting MIDI Out mode (p. 51) to “4.”

MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a worldwide standard for the exchange of performance data (MIDI messages) and other information among electronic instruments and computers.

The FP-2 features a MIDI connector and a computer connector to allow performance information to be exchanged with external devices. Connecting the keyboard to other devices with these connectors provides you with an even greater variety of ways to use your keyboard.

*A separate publication titled “MIDI Implementation” is also

available. It provides complete details concerning the way

MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require

this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-

level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service

Center or authorized Roland distributor.

Switch on the power to the FP-2 and the

connected device.

Adjust the volume level on the FP-2 and the

connected device.

You should also set the MIDI settings as needed.

Make the settings for the MIDI send and receive channels (p. 47) and for Local On/Off (p. 47).

What is a Sequencer?

A sequencer is a device that records the stream of MIDI messages that is sent out by an instrument. These messages convey all the details of what has occurred while the instrument is played; including the timing of notes, their sound, the force used to play them, and for how long. Afterwards, you can send the recorded MIDI information back to the instrument, and it will play automatically.

What is a MIDI Sound Module?

Inside a synthesizer or electronic piano is the section that actually produces sound, known as the sound module. A MIDI sound module produces sounds as the result of MIDI messages sent to it by other devices.

■

MIDI Settings

MIDI Send Channel Settings

Select the transmission channel of FP-2.

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16. Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected. When the instrument is turned on, this is set to Channel “1.” The FP-2 receives messages on all channels, 1–16.

* When the keyboard is in dual play, the channel you’ve set here

is transmitted.

* When the keyboard is split into left and right sides, the

transmission channel for messages from the left-hand side is

fixed at “3.”

Switching Local Control On and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to “Off.”

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to “On.”

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”

Transferring the FP-2’s Settings to an External MIDI Device (Bulk Dump)

You can transfer the contents of FP-2’s Setup settings to an external MIDI device. This operation is called “bulk dump.”

Use a MIDI cable (optional) to connect the FP-2’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector on an external sequencer, or use a USB cable to connect the computer.

Using the V-LINK function

Connecting the FP-2 to a V-LINK compatible image device allows you to control the images with the FP-2.

* 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.

V-LINK

V-LINK ( ) is functionality promoted by Roland that allows linked performance of music and visual material. By using V-LINK-compatible video equipment, visual effects can be easily liked to, and made part of the expressive elements of a performance.

When the part to which the effects are applied is assigned to the Lower Tone, the effects are then not applied to the Upper Tone (p. 41).

As the FP-2 piano sounds faithfully reproduce the depth and reverberation of actual acoustic pianos, reverberation may still be audible even after the reverb effect is removed from sounds.

Troubleshooting

Case Cause/What to do

Is the pedal connected correctly? Connect the pedal securely to the Pedal jack (p. 9).

Are you using a pedal made by another manufacturer? Use the pedal included with the FP-2 or an optional DP Series or

similar pedal.

Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied nonstop. Be sure to switch off the power to the unit before attempting to disconnect or connect a pedal cord (p. 9).

Once it’s been assigned as a setup switch, a soft pedal or sostenuto pedal cannot be used for its original function (p. 48).

With the acoustic piano settings, sounds in the upper 1 1/2-octave range are extended to the end regardless of the damper pedal actions. The tone is also different in this range. Roland’s pianos faithfully reproduce the sonic qualities of acoustic pianos. Furthermore, you can use the instrument’s Key Transpose setting to change that range over which the damper pedal has no effect.

When listening through headphones:

Certain piano tones that feature vibrant, sparking sounds contain a large high-frequency component, which may make it appear that a metallic reverberation has been applied. This faithfully reproduces the characteristics of acoustic pianos, and does not indicate any malfunction. Since this reverberation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb applied to the sound.

When listening through speakers:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the FP-2) would be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

Case Cause/What to do

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the FP-2 to resonate. Resonation can also occur with ﬂuorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is increased, and when the sound is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance.

- Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from walls and other surfaces.

- Reduce the volume.

- Move the speakers away from any resonating objects.

- Check to make sure that the screws holding the music stand in place are not loose.

When listening through headphones:

The cause lies somewhere else. Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

With certain tones, the sounds may seem to be distorted.

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