USING THE UNIT SAFELY
In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.
Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be espe­cially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s 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.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.
If you need to move the instrument, take note of the pre­cautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a rm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.
Check to make sure the knob bolts securing the unit to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice any loosening.
Disconnect the AC adaptor.
Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
Remove the music rest.
Before cleaning the unit, turn o the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 13).
Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
Should you remove the music rest attachment screws and the ground terminal screw, keep them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swal­lowed accidentally.
This (FP-4F) for use only with Roland stand KSC-44, KS-G8, KS-18Z, or KS-12. Use with other stands is capable of result­ing in instability causing possible injury.
Even if you observe the cautions given in the owner’s manual, certain types of handling may allow this product to fall from the stand, or cause the stand to overturn. Please be mindful of any safety issues before using this product.
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accu­mulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to re.
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

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 lter 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 o the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
Placement
Using the unit near power ampliers (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 o.
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 dierent, 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 this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect the nish.
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 nish.
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 USB memories, 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 on USB memories.
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or USB memories 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.
The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing an instrument can be transmitted through a oor or wall to an unexpected extent. In particular, when using headphones, please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.
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 o the instrument may damage the exterior nish.
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.
Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., ower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Before You Play

Connecting Pedals

Connect the included pedal to one of the PEDAL jacks. The function of the pedal will depend on the jack to which it’s connected.
Pedal
Damper pedal
Use this to sustain the sound. While you hold down the damper pedal, notes will be sustained even if you take your ngers o the keyboard. This is the same function as the right pedal of an acoustic piano.
The included pedal will detect a continuous value, so the amount by which you press the pedal will smoothly control the depth of the damper pedal eect.
On an acoustic piano, pressing the damper pedal allows other strings to resonate sympathetically with the notes you play, producing a rich and spacious resonance. The FP-4F simulates this natural damper resonance.
MEMO
Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous” when the pedal is connected.
Sostenuto pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained. This is the same function as the center pedal of an acoustic piano.
Soft pedal
Use this to soften the sound.
When you play the keyboard while holding down the soft pedal, the sound will be softer than normal for the same keyboard playing strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
The included pedal will detect a continuous value, so the amount by which you press the pedal will smoothly control the depth of the soft pedal eect.
Connected Jack Operation
DAMPER/R jack The pedal will operate as a damper pedal.
SOSTENUTO/C (FC2) jack
SOFT/L (FC1) jack
* Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on may
cause the pedal’s eect to be applied without stopping. The power of the FP-4F must be turned o before inserting or removing a pedal cord.
The pedal will operate as a sostenuto pedal. Alternatively, you can assign a dierent
function (p. 55, p. 53).

Performing Along with Rhythm (Session Partner)

Selecting a Rhythm

Here’s how to select a dierent rhythm that’s suitable for the song you’re playing.
What is a Rhythm?
The FP-4F contains built-in “Rhythms” for musical styles such as jazz and rock.
Each of these rhythms combines elements that create the distinctive atmosphere of that musical style; they are the basis of the accompaniment produced by Session Partner.
Each rhythm consists of the following three elements.
Drums
Bass
Accomp (accompaniment other than drums and bass)
1. Press the [DISPLAY] button a number of times to access the SESSION PARTNER screen.
The display will show the number and name of the rhythm.
MEMO
The “Rh.” that appears before the rhythm number stands for “SESSION PARTNER screen.”
2. Use the [-] [+] buttons to select a rhythm.
For details on the available rhythms, refer to “Rhythm List (Session Partner)” (p. 73).
MEMO
You can press the TEMPO [-] or TEMPO [+] button to change the rhythm’s tempo.
You can choose which rhythm parts will sound (p. 51).
35
Performing Along with Rhythm (Session Partner)

Adding Variation to the Rhythm

Each rhythm provides two accompaniment patterns; the original accompaniment pattern and a more colorful variation accompaniment pattern.
A ll-in (a short phrase) will be inserted when the accompaniment pattern changes, making your song more expressive. For example, it’s eective to use the quieter original pattern during the rst half of the song, and then switch to the variation pattern later in the song as the energy level builds up.
1. Press the SESSION PARTNER [VARIATION] button to switch the accompaniment pattern.
SESSION PARTNER [VARIATION] button Explanation

Lit The variation accompaniment pattern will play.
The SESSION PARTNER [VARIATION] button will blink while the ll-in is playing.
What’s a “Fill-In”?
A short improvisational phrase inserted at the bar line is called a “Fill-In.” The phrase best suited to the selected Rhythm is played.
36
Performing Along with Rhythm (Session Partner)

Creating an Original Chord Progression Pattern

Session Partner contains chord progression pattern data suitable for each rhythm, but you can also create your own original chord progression pattern.
1. Hold down the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button and press the SONG [REC] button.
The SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button and the SONG [REC] button will blink, and the FP-4F will enter recording-standby mode.
A screen like the following will appear.
To exit recording-standby mode, you can press the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button or the SONG [REC] button.
2. To start recording your chord progression, use the left-hand zone of the keyboard to specify chords.
The chord you press is shown in the display. The intro will not play at this time.
You can store up to sixteen chords.
3. Press the SESSION PARTNER [START/STOP] button to stop recording your chord progression.
The recorded chord progression is recorded in “USER.” To select a recorded chord progression, press the [-] button when chord progression pattern number 1 is displayed, and select “USER” (p. 51).
MEMO
Each chord progression pattern can be up to sixteen measures long. When the FP-4F is shipped from the factory, it is set so that a chord
progression of up to eight measures can be recorded. Recording will stop automatically when you exceed the currently specied number of measures. A maximum of sixteen chords can be stored. If you want to change the number of measures for the chord progression to be recorded, refer to “Changing the Number of Measures for Recording a Chord Progression” (p. 38).
If desired, you can keep the chord progression pattern from changing even when you switch rhythms. Refer to “Fixing the Chord Progression Pattern (SP FIX)” (p. 51).
Your original chord progression pattern will not play correctly if you play it using a time signature that’s dierent from when you recorded it.
Your original chord progression patterns can be saved in a Registration (p. 39).
* The chord progression you record will be lost when you turn o the power. If you want to keep it, save it in a Registration (p. 40).
Switching Chord Progression Patterns while You Perform
If you switch registrations while Session Partner is playing, the chord progression pattern will also change. By switching chord progression patterns, you can perform with accompaniment for an entire song.
For example, store the chord progression pattern for melody “A” in registration 1-1, and store the chord progression pattern for melody “B” in registration 1-2. Then, while Session Partner plays, switch the registration from 1-1 to 1-2 at the right moment. The chord progression used by Session Partner will switch from the melody “A” pattern to the melody “B” pattern.

Detailed Settings for Various Functions

Adjusting the Keyboard Sensitivity (KEYTOUCH)

You can change the touch sensitivity, or response of the keys.
You can adjust the keyboard touch as appropriate for the playing strength of the person who is performing.
Setting Explanation
FIX (Fixed)
L+ (Super Light)
L (Light)
M (Medium)
H (Heavy)
H+ (Super Heavy)
The sound plays at one set volume, regardless of the force used to play the keys.
This setting produces the lightest keyboard touch.
You can achieve fortissimo ( ) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for children.
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 nger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo (), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic ngering adds even more feeling to what you play.
This setting produces the heaviest keyboard touch.

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (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 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.”
Setting 415.3 Hz–466.2 Hz
MEMO
When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to “440.0 Hz.”

Adjusting the Tuning (TEMPRMNT)

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.
Setting Explanation
EQU (Equal)
MAJ (Just(Major))
MIN (Just(Minor))
ARB (Arabic)
KIRN (Kirnberger)
MEAN (Meantone)
PYTH (Pythagorean)
WERC (Werckmeister)
In this tuning, each octave is divided into twelve equal steps. Every interval produces about the same amount of slight dissonance.
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the fths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing melodies and cannot be transposed, but is capable of beautiful sonorities.
The Just tunings dier from major and minor keys. You can get the same eect with the minor scale as with the major scale.
This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
This is an improvement of the Meantone and Just tunings that provides a high degree of freedom of modulation. Performances are possible in all keys (III).
This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.
This tuning, devised by the philosopher Py­thagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.
This temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (rst technique, III).

Specifying the Keynote (TMPR KEY)

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need to specify the temperament key 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).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.

Changing the Pitch of the Tone in Octave Steps (OCT SHFT)

You can change the pitch of the Tone 2 in Dual Play (p. 25) and Lower tone in Split Play (p. 26) an octave at a time. Altering the pitch in one-octave units in this way is called “Octave Shift.”
For example, you can raise the pitch of the Lower Tone to the same pitch of the Upper Tone in Split Play.
Setting -2–0–+2
Specifying What the Transpose will Aect (TRNSPOSE)
This setting species what the transpose will aect.

Preventing Doubled Notes When Connected to a Sequencer (LOCAL.CTL)

If you connect the FP-4F to a MIDI sequencer, turn o the Local Control setting as described below.
Since most sequencers have their “thru” function turned on, the data from your keyboard performance and the notes played back by the sequencer will arrive at the sound generator by the two routes marked (1) and (2) in the illustration. This will cause notes to be doubled or interrupted. To prevent this, turn Local Control o so that route (1) will be disconnected.

Power will not turn on Is the AC adaptor connected correctly? p. 13
Buttons don’t work
Colors in the display are irregular/ Color is faded at the edge of the screen
Pedal does not work, or remains stuck
Can’t read or write USB memory
A buzzing sound is heard from an external device
The volume level of the instrument connected to the INPUT jacks is too low
Could Panel Lock be activated? Deactivate Panel Lock.
These occur due to the nature of a liquid crystal display, and do not indicate a malfunction. By adjusting the screen contrast you can make these artifacts less noticeable.
Is the pedal connected correctly? Insert the plug all the way into the pedal jack.
Could you be using a pedal made by another manufacturer? Use the included pedal or the RPU-3 (sold separately).
The pedal eect may remain stuck if you disconnect the pedal cord while the power is on. Switch o the FP-4F’s power before you connect or disconnect the pedal cord.
If you’ve assigned the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal as a registration select switch, or assigned it to some other function, the pedal won’t operate as a Soft pedal or Sostenuto pedal. The RGST PDL setting of the each pedal set to “OFF.”
Are you using Roland USB memory (sold separately)? Operation cannot be guaranteed if any other USB memory is used.
If you cannot correctly write to, or read from USB memory, you should change the setting for “EXT MODE.”
Could you be powering your external equipment from two or more electrical outlets? If external equipment is connected, it must be powered from the same electrical outlet.
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (INPUT jacks) may be low. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Troubleshooting
Sound does not play correctly
Problem Cause/Action Page
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes.
Not all the notes you play are heard
Keyboard or song pitch is incorrect
Two sounds are heard when you play the keyboard
Pressing the [E. PIANO], [ORGAN], or [OTHERS] button causes other tones to be heard
Eect not applied
Reverberation is heard even when the reverb eect is switched o
Sound changes abruptly at a certain note in the upper range
A “whining” noise is heard
Something wrong with low-frequency sounds/Buzzing resonance occurs
When using Dual Play or when performing along with a song or rhythm, or when making heavy use of the damper pedal, it is possible for the performance data to exceed the polyphony, causing some of the notes you play to be omitted.
Could you have made transpose settings? p. 23
Is the master tuning setting appropriate? p. 50
Is the temperament setting appropriate? p. 50
Is the stretch tuning setting appropriate? p. 52
Could the FP-4F be set to Dual Play? p. 25
If an external sequencer is connected, set the FP-4F to the Local O state, and turn your sequencer’s Soft Thru setting o.
The [E. PIANO], [ORGAN], and [OTHERS] buttons can also function in selecting “recommended tones.” With the FP-4F’s factory settings, if you connect a commercially available CD-ROM drive to the EXT MEMORY connector, then select a song from a VIMA CD-ROM (VIMA TUNES), suitable tones for the song will automatically be assigned to the [E. PIANO], [ORGAN], and [OTHERS] buttons, allowing you to select appropriate tones by pressing these buttons.
When you’re using Dual Play or Split Play, and the two tones use dierent eects, no eect will be applied to tone 2 (when using Dual Play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split Play).
Since the FP-4F’s piano sounds faithfully simulate the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, this may sound like reverberation even when the reverb eect is o.
On an acoustic piano, the top one and a half octaves of notes will sound until they decay naturally, regardless of the damper pedal. The tone quality of these notes will also be dierent. The FP-4F faithfully simulates this and other characteristics of an acoustic piano. The range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change depending on the transposition setting.
If you hear this in the headphones:
Some brilliant and sharply dened piano sounds contain signicant high-frequency components, which may sound like a metallic resonance has been added. This is due to the faithful simulation of a piano’s actual characteristics, and does not indicate a malfunction. This sound can be adjusted by altering the reverb depth (p. 23).
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Some other reason may be responsible (e.g., resonance in the FP-4F itself). Please contact your dealer or Roland Service Center.
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
When performing at a high volume, the speakers or an object near the FP-4F might resonate. It is also possible for uorescent lights or glass doors in the room to resonate. For the low notes in particular, this is more likely to occur at high volume. To minimize such resonance, take the following measures.
• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from the wall.
• Lower the volume.
• Move the resonating object farther away.
If you hear this in headphones:
Some other reason may be responsible. Please contact your dealer or Roland Service Center.
At high volumes, the sound may be distorted due to the way in which you are playing. If so, reduce the volume.
