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. You can control the amount of sustain applied by the way you press the pedal.

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-50 simulates this natural damper resonance.

Sostenuto pedal

The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.

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. You can control how soft the sound will be by the way you press the pedal.

INPUT Jack

MIDI Connectors

Connect these jacks to external MIDI devices.

This is a stereo miniature phone type jack. Use it to connect to an audio player or similar source, so that you can play the source’s sound through the FP-50. Adjust the volume, as necessary, from the source side.

OUTPUT Jacks

If you connect these jacks to amplied speakers, the sound of FP-50 will be heard through them.

DC IN Jack

Connect the included AC adaptor here.

Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Tuning (Master Tuning)

Temprmnt (Temperament)

Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments (Master Tuning)

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

415.3–440.0–466.2 Hz

Changing the Tuning System (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.

EQU (Equal)

MAJ (Just (Major))

MIN (Just (Minor))

PYTH (Pythagorean)

KIRN (Kirnberger)

MEAN (Meantone) This scale makes some compromises in just intonation, enabling transposition to other keys.

(Werckmeister)

WERC

ARB (Arabic) This tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.

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, devised by the philosopher Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in fourths and fths. Dissonance is produced by third-interval chords, but melodies are euphonious.

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 temperament combines the Meantone and Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all keys (rst technique, III).

Tmpr Key (Temperament Key)

Specifying a Song’s Tonic (Temperament 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 “Do” for a major key or to “La“ for a minor key).

If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a temperament key.

This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,” a tuning method specically for pianos, in which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly atter.

If you select “ON,” a standard tuning curve created for the FP-50 will be used.

This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration produced in strings other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).

Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of strings for previously played notes that occur when you play another note).

Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano’s key-o sound (the subtle sound that occurs when you release a note).

Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.

Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself. Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.

When you play a chord, this setting improves the clarity of the individual notes in the chord, creating a more beautiful resonance.

Higher settings produce a clearer resonance.

Connecting in Ad-Hoc Mode

Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.

What is Ad-Hoc mode?

Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the FP-50 directly to an iPhone or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access point. This is a convenient way to use the FP-50 with an iPhone or other wireless device if you’re in a location where the wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable, such as when you’re away from home.

iPhone, etc.

A buzzing sound is heard from an external device

The volume level of the instrument connected to INPUT jack is too low

after you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the “Auto O ” setting “OFF.”

Could Panel Lock be activated? Deactivate Panel Lock.

Since the FP-50 uses a liquid-crystal display, you may nd that it is unable to display letters or other things in environments where temperatures go below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). This does not indicate a malfunction.

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.

The pedal eect may remain stuck if you disconnect the pedal cord while the power is on. Switch o the FP-50’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.

Are you using Roland USB Flash Memory (sold separately)? We cannot guarantee operation if any other USB ash drive is used.

If you’re unable to read from or write to a USB ash drive, change the USB Memory Mode setting. p. 42

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.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause/Action Page

Two sounds are heard when you play the keyboard

Pressing the [E. PIANO], [STRINGS], or [OTHER] button causes other tones to be heard

Eect not applied

Reverberation remains even if you turn o the Ambience eect

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

Could the FP-50 be set to Dual Play? p. 14

When the FP-50 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to “OFF.” Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is o.

The [E. PIANO], [STRINGS], and [OTHER] buttons can also function in selecting “recommended tones.” With the factory settings, when you select a song from VIMA TUNES, tones which match the song will be

assigned automatically to the [E. PIANO], [STRINGS], and [OTHER] tone 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).

The FP-50’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 turned o the Ambience eect.

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.

FP-50 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. The range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Transpose setting.

If you hear this in 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.

You can adjust this resonance by editing the following settings.

• String Resonance setting (p. 38)

• Ambience Depth setting (p. 17)

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Some other reason may be responsible (e.g., resonance in the FP-50 itself). Please contact your dealer or Roland Service Center.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:

Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the FP-50 to 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, adjust the equalizer settings or reduce the volume.

In this case, refer to the procedure described in “Connecting to a Wireless LAN Access Point That You Select (Select AP)” (p. 44) and try selecting and connecting to the wireless LAN access point again.

• The FP-50 remembers a limited amount of information about network connections. Once the limit is reached, data from new connections may overwrite older data. All connection data will be erased if you perform a factory reset. If network connection information is erased, repeat the connection procedure and connect again.

The access point is not supported. Please use WPA or WPA2 authentication. p. 43

Wireless communications may be unstable if the condition of the wireless signal is poor. If the wireless communications are unstable, responsiveness may deteriorate and audio drop-outs may

occur. The following may solve the trouble.

• Move the FP-50 and the wireless LAN access point closer to each other.

• Change the channel setting on the wireless LAN access point.

• Is the FP-50 turned on?

• Is a wireless USB adapter (WNA1100-RL) connected to the FP-50’s USB MEMORY port?

• Is the FP-50 connected to the wireless LAN?

• Are the FP-50 and the iPhone connected to the same network (i.e., the same wireless LAN access point)?

• Is the wireless LAN access point set to allow communication among the devices connected to it? Refer to the wireless LAN’s documentation for information about the relevant settings.

• Is the wireless LAN access point connected to the Internet?

• Could you be connected in Ad-Hoc mode? The iPhone or other wireless device connected in Ad-Hoc mode will be unable to communicate with the Internet or with another wireless device. However, an iPhone or other wireless device that has cellular capability will be able to connect to the Internet via the cellular connection. Please be aware that if you use a cellular connection for Internet connectivity, you may incur costs depending on your rate plan.

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 or a motor (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner). 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.

• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always make sure to turn o the power on all your equipment before you make any connections.

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. 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 objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

• 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 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.

Maintenance

• 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.

• 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 ash drives, 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 ash drives.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory or USB ash drives 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 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 others nearby, 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. Please take care not to cause annoyance to others nearby.

• 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 rest while it is in use.

• Use only the specied expression pedal (EV-5, EV-7; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

• 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 specications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not always match what appears in the manual.
