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-80 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.

Connect these jacks to external
MIDI devices.

Playing Along with a Rhythm
Let’s look at how to set up and play rhythm backings.
About the FP-80’s rhythm
The FP-80 can automatically match its rhythmic
accompaniment to the chords that you play on the
keyboard. This feature is called “rhythm.”
The FP-80 contains 90 built-in rhythms in various musical
styles, such as jazz and rock.
Rhythms include not only drum sounds, but also
accompaniments featuring instruments such as piano,
guitar, bass, and strings.
You can also add intros and endings to your rhythms, and
insert ll-ins. These features make it easy to develop eective
and expressive rhythmic accompaniment.
Rhythm Flow
The FP-80 starts playing the selected rhythm.
When you play a chord, the rhythm performs according to the
chord you play.
To turn rhythm play o, press the [START/STOP] button once again.
REFERENCE
For details on the available rhythms, refer to”Rhythm List” (p. 60).
MEMO
• It’s not necessary to strike all the notes of each chord. The FP-80
recognizes various alternative chord voicings (p. 45).
• If you’d like to see what chord the FP-80 is currently using for
the rhythm, access the rhythm screen and press the [RHYTHM]
button.

Recording Your Performances
It’s easy to record a performance.
You can play back a recorded performance to check your playing, or
to play along with it.
The FP-80 can record performances into both MIDI les (SMF les)
and audio les.
SMF and audio recording
File TypeExplanation
A collection of data describing everything that happened while the music was played will be recorded.
SMF recording
Audio recording
* SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music le
that was formulated so that les containing music le could be
widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the listening
device. An enormous variety of music is available, whether it be
for listening, for practicing musical instruments, for Karaoke, etc.
Such data will include information about which keys
(pitches) were played, for how long, what amount of
force was applied, etc.
* In most cases you should use SMF recording.
An audio le stores actual sound data. You can easily
play these recordings on your computer.
* In order to use audio recording, you must connect
a USB ash drive (sold separately) to the USB
MEMORY port (p. 10).
* Thanks to its multiple number of speakers, each of
which can be used to play a dierent portion of the
overall sound, the FP-80 is capable of producing
piano sounds that possess great depth and threedimensional presence (Acoustic Projection).
When playing from the keyboard or from SMF data,
the FP-80 applies an acoustic projection eect that
makes the sound more natural. This eect is not
used with audio recordings, as they are already
recorded in stereo (using two channels).

ArabicThis 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.
There are two types of Just tunings: major and minor.
You can get the same eect 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, 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 scale makes some compromises in just intonation,
enabling transposition to other keys.
This temperament combines the Meantone and
Pythagorean tunings. Performances are possible in all
keys (rst technique, III).
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 (Tonewheel Organ )
On the FP-80, 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 tonewheel 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 Footage?
“Footage” 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’.

What is Percussion?
Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of
the note to give the sound more sparkle.
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. The FP-80
faithfully simulates this characteristic.

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.
REFERENCE
For details, refer to “Temperaments” (p. 32).
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.
C–B
Lets you personalize your piano sound by adjusting various elements that aect the sound: the piano’s physical strings, the
resonances produced by the pedals, the sound of hammers striking the strings, and more.
REFERENCE
Lets you build an organ sound by adjusting footage volumes, percussion, and other settings.

If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the “Auto O ” setting “O.”
Could Panel Lock be activated?
Deactivate Panel Lock.
Since the FP-80 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.
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.
The pedal eect may remain stuck if you disconnect the pedal’s cord while the power is on.
Switch o the FP-80’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. 49
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?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
Could the FP-80’s volume or the volume of a connected device be minimized?p. 8
Could headphones be connected?
Could a plug have been left in the headphone jack?
No sound will be output from the speakers if headphones or any other device is connected to the
headphone jack.
No sound
No sound when you play back a song
No sound from the left-hand zone of the
keyboard

Is the Volume Balance setting set so that the backing is louder than the keyboard?p. 8
Could the [SPEAKER] switch be “OFF”?
If the [SPEAKER] switch is “OFF,” sound will not be heard from the built-in speakers.
Could the Local Control setting be “O”?
The Local Control is turned o, no sound will be heard when you play the keyboard. Set Local Control to
“ON.”
Could the Local Control setting be “O”?
The Local Control is turned o, no sound will be heard when you play back a song. Set Local Control to
“ON.”
Could the Visual Control mode setting be “MVC” or “V-LINK”?
If the mode is set to “MVC” or “V-LINK,” the lowest twelve keys are used to control images, and do not
produce sound.
When a rhythm is playing, Chord Pattern is on, and Split Play is on, the left side of the keyboard does not
produce any sound because chord entry is given priority.

Troubleshooting
Sound does not play correctly
ProblemCause/ActionPage
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes.
Not all of the notes you play are heard
Keyboard or song pitch is incorrect
Two sounds are heard when you play the
keyboard
Pressing the [STRINGS], [ORGAN], or [OTHER]
button causes other tones to be heard
Eect not applied
Reverberation remains even if you turn o
the Ambience eect
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. 19
Is the Master Tuning setting appropriate?p. 44
Is the Temperament setting appropriate?p. 32, p. 44
Is the Stretch Tuning setting appropriate?p. 31
Could the FP-80 be set to Dual Play?p. 14
When the FP-80 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to o. Alternatively, the
sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is O.
The [STRINGS], [ORGAN], 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 [STRINGS], [ORGAN], and [OTHER] tone 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).
The FP-80’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 eect.
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.
FP-80 faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. The range that is unaected by the damper
pedal will change depending on the Transpose setting.
If you hear this in 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. 31)
• String Resonance setting (p. 31)
• 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-80 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-80 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.

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 ampliers (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 dierent, 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 internal 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 specied 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 specications, 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.
• 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, microphones
connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects. This is due to an
innitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However,
if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see
gure) 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 re or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the
event of lightning)
Using USB ash drives
• Carefully insert the USB ash drives all the way in—until it is rmly in
place.
• Never touch the terminals of the USB ash drives. Also, avoid getting
the terminals dirty.
• USB ash drives are constructed using precision components; handle
the memories carefully, paying particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the USB ash drives from static electricity, be
sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before
handling the USB ash drives.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact
portion of the USB ash drives.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject USB ash drives to strong shock or
vibration.
• Do not keep USB ash drives in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or
other such locations.
• Do not allow USB ash drives to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the USB ash drives.
Care of the keyboard
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do
not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into
the surface lines and become unremovable.
• Do not ax stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove
stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause
discoloration.
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard
cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Start by wiping lightly. If the
dirt does not come o, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of
pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.
