damper pedal eect.
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-7F 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 eect.

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.
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing
the strings when you press the damper pedal).
* If Damper Resonance is turned “O,” damper noise will not be heard.
This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,” a tuning method specically for pianos, in
which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly atter.
If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the FP-7F will be used.
If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched tuning yourself. Play the key whose pitch
you want to adjust, then use the [-] or [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.
What is the Duplex Scale?
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other
strings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to
the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue
sounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.

Simulating the Way that Sounds are Created on an Organ (Tone Wheel)
On the FP-7F, you can use the [ORGAN] button to select one of the “TW-Organ 1–6” tones to play tones that simulate the way in which sound is
produced by an organ.
On a tone wheel organ, you can create original sounds by sliding nine harmonic bars (drawbars) forward or backward to change their relative balance.
Each bar is assigned a dierent footage, and this footage determines the pitch of the sound. 8’ is the footage that forms the basic pitch of the sound;
this is the center around which you create the tone.
By assigning the footage to the TONE buttons, you can simulate the way in which these harmonic bars are used to create the sound.
What’s the feet?
“Feet” is a term that began as a measurement of the length of the pipes in a pipe organ.
The pipes that produce the basic pitch (fundamental) for each note are considered to be “8 feet” in length.
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’.
The pitches of the harmonic bars are related as follows.
When the middle C (C4) note is pressed,
each harmonic bar will sound the following notes.
one octave
below
On tone wheel organs, the high-pitched footage for a portion of the high range, and the low-pitched footage for a portion of the low range are
“folded-back” in units of one octave.
Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the lowfrequency portion prevents the sound from becoming “muddy.”
On the FP-7F faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)
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.
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 rst-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-7F faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Selecting a Rhythm
Here’s how to select a dierent rhythm that’s suitable for the song you’re playing.
What is a Rhythm?
The FP-7F 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.
2. Use the [-] [+] buttons to select a rhythm.
For details on the available rhythms, refer to “Rhythm List (Session Partner)” (p. 95).
MEMO
• You can press the TEMPO [-] or TEMPO [+] button to change the rhythm’s tempo.
• You can choose which rhythm parts will sound (p. 67).
45
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 eective 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] buttonExplanation
UnlitThe original accompaniment pattern will play.

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.
46
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-7F 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 Chord.” To select a recorded chord progression, press the [-] button when chord progression
pattern number 1 is displayed, and select “User Chord” (p. 67).
MEMO
• Each chord progression pattern can be up to sixteen measures long. When the FP-7F 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 specied 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. 48).
• If desired, you can keep the chord progression pattern from changing even when you switch rhythms. Refer to “Fixing the Chord Progression Pattern
(Chord Prog. Fix)” (p. 68).
• Your original chord progression pattern will not play correctly if you play it using a time signature that’s dierent from when you recorded it.
• Your original chord progression patterns can be saved in a Registration (p. 49).
* 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. 50).
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 easily 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.

Recording a Layered Performance (Looper)
What is the Looper?
The FP-7F oers a feature that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and overdub other sound onto it (such as vocals sung into a microphone).
The resulting recordings can be played back repeatedly. This is called the “Looper” function.
For example, you could start by recording an accompaniment that uses a strings sound. Next, you could record the melody using a piano sound,
adding it to the music you previously recorded. And, just like that, you’ve created a performance that sounds like an ensemble.
Looper Workow
Phrases (a total of 60 seconds worth can be recorded)

What are Phrases?
Keyboard performances and vocals from a microphone that have been recorded using the Looper function are known as “Phrases.”
Each phrase consists of the following three elements.
• Intro
• Main
• Ending
What is a Looper Rhythm?
Each of the Looper rhythms includes an appropriate chord progression, a tempo, and measure number data.
When you record a phrase using the Looper, performance will be based on the selected Looper rhythm data.
By adding harmony to the sound from the microphone, you can sing with harmony that’s appropriate for the Looper rhythm’s chord
progression.
Each looper rhythm consists of the following two elements.
• Drums
• Bass
MEMO
If you save the recorded phrase on USB memory, you’ll also be able to use it with the Audio Key function (p. 31).

Detailed Settings for Various Functions

(Key Touch)
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.
SettingExplanation

Making Fine Adjustments to the Keyboard
Touch Sensitivity (Key Touch Oset)
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.
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.
SettingExplanation
Equal
Just Major
Just Minor
ArabicThis tuning is suitable for the music of Arabia.
Kirnberger
Meantone
Pythagorean
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 dier from major and minor
keys. You can get the same eect with the minor
scale as with the major scale.
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).
This lets you make further detailed adjustments to the keyboard
sensitivity as appropriate for the strength of your ngers.
SettingExplanation
-10–0–9
Higher settings will produce a heavier playing
feel.
Tuning Settings (Tuning)
Matching the Pitch with Other Instruments
(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 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.”
Setting415.3 Hz–440.0 Hz–466.2 Hz
MEMO
When the instrument is shipped from the factory, this is set to
“440.0 Hz.”
Specifying the Keynote (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 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.

Troubleshooting
Sound does not play correctly
ProblemCause/ActionPage
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 [STRINGS/PAD], [GUITAR/
BASS], or [VOICE/GM2] button causes
other tones to be heard
Eect not applied
Reverberation is heard even when the
reverb eect 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. 24
Is the master tuning setting appropriate?P. 66
Is the temperament setting appropriate?P. 66
Is the stretch tuning setting appropriate?P. 35
Could the FP-7F be set to Dual Play?P. 26
If an external sequencer is connected, set the FP-7F to the Local O state, and turn your sequencer’s Soft
Thru setting o.
The [STRINGS/PAD], [GUITAR/BASS], and [VOICE/GM2] buttons can also function in selecting “recommended tones.”
With the FP-7F’s factory settings, if you connect a commercially available CD-ROM drive to the external
memory connector, then select a song from a VIMA CD-ROM (VIMA TUNES), suitable tones for the
song will automatically be assigned to the [STRINGS/PAD], [GUITAR/BASS], and [VOICE/GM2] 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 dierent eects, no eect will be
applied to tone 2 (when using Dual Play) or the left-hand tone (when using Split Play).
Since the FP-7F’s piano sounds faithfully simulate the depth and resonance of an acoustic piano, this
may sound like reverberation even when the reverb eect 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 dierent.
The FP-7F faithfully simulates this and other characteristics of an acoustic piano. The range that is
unaected by the damper pedal will change depending on the transposition setting.
If you hear this in the headphones:
Some brilliant and sharply dened piano sounds contain signicant 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.
• Duplex Scale setting (p. 35)
• String Resonance setting (p. 35)
• Reverb depth (p. 25)
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Some other reason may be responsible (e.g., resonance in the FP-7F 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-7F 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.
