(Do not drop it!)
..........................................................................................................
015
• 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.
..........................................................................................................
016
• 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.

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 fire.
..........................................................................................................
104
• 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.
..........................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on
the unit.
..........................................................................................................
107c
• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with
wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging
from, an outlet or this unit.
..........................................................................................................
108b

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
551
• 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).
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.
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.
4
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.

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.
* With the pedal connected to the Damper jack, it can be
assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing the
Sound’s Pitch in Real Time (Pedal Control)” (p. 27).
* 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. 43), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup
(Pedal shift)” (p. 52).
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. 43), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup
(Pedal shift)” (p. 52).
* 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-5.
Turning the Power On and Off
* Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/
or damage to speakers and other devices.

Chapter 1 Playing the Keyboard
What Are “Feet?”
Feet basically refers to the lengths of pipe used in pipe organs. The
length of pipe used to produce the reference pitch (the fundamental) for
the keyboard is eight feet. Reducing the pipe to half its length produces
a pitch one octave higher; conversely, doubling the pipe length creates
a pitch one octave lower. Therefore, a pipe producing a pitch one octave
below that of the reference of 8’ (eight feet) would be 16’; for one octave
above the reference, the pipe would be 4’, and to take the pitch up yet
another octave it would be shortened to 2’.
Simulating the Creation of Organ Tones (Tone Wheel Mode)
When any of the “Tone Wheel” Tones is selected, you can perform in “Tone
Wheel mode,” in which the creation of organ sounds is simulated.
An organ features nine “harmonic bars” that can be drawn in and out, and
by using the bars in different combinations of positions, a variety of
different tones can be created. Different “Feet” are assigned to each bar, with
the pitches of the sounds being determined by these “Feet.”
You can simulate the creation of tones using the harmonic bars by assigning
footages to the Tone buttons.
In Tone Wheel mode, the footages are switched by pressing the [Tone
Wheel] button, and a total of nine footages and percussion instruments are
assigned to the Tone buttons other than [Piano] button.
On tone wheel organs, in the high range of the keyboard, high-pitched feet
are “wrapped around” one octave down.
Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency
sounds from being unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the low-frequency
portion prevents the sound from becoming “muddy.”
NOTE
When the Tone Wheel is
selected, you cannot enable
the dual mode (p. 18).
On the FP-5 faithfully simulates this characteristic.

About Perc (Percussion)
Perc (Percussion) adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to
give the sound more crispness. The attack sound changes according to the
value.
Settings Description

The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were
played. When notes were played legato (smoothly and connectedly),
percussion was applied only to the first-played note. When notes were
played staccato (articulating each note separately), percussion was applied
to all notes. This method is referred to as single trigger algorithm, and is a
very important element in organ performance.
On the FP-5 faithfully simulates this characteristic.
Percussion sounds at a pitch one octave
above that of the key pressed.
Percussion sounds at a pitch an octave and
a fifth above that of the key pressed.
When percussion is on, the

In Split Play, you can have a different tone sound in the left and right sides.
When the instrument is turned on, 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 an “Upper
