Roland FP-50 Owner's Manual

To connect the Roland FP-50 to a computer, use a USB cable to connect the piano's USB port to your computer. Install the necessary drivers from Roland's website if required. Once connected, you can use digital audio workstations (DAWs) to record MIDI or audio data.
First, ensure the volume is turned up and the instrument is powered on. Check if headphones are plugged in, as this mutes the speakers. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset by holding down the "Function" button and turning the power on.
To perform a factory reset, turn off the piano. Then, hold down the "Function" button and turn the piano back on. Continue holding the button until the display shows "FCt" indicating the reset process has begun.
Yes, you can use a sustain pedal with the Roland FP-50. Connect the pedal to the "Damper Pedal" jack located at the back of the piano. Make sure the pedal is compatible and configured correctly in the settings menu.
To change the touch sensitivity, press the "Function" button and use the "+" or "-" buttons to navigate to the "Touch" setting. Select the desired sensitivity level ranging from "Light," "Medium," to "Heavy" touch response.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the keys with a soft, damp cloth, keeping the piano away from direct sunlight and moisture, and ensuring all cables are secured to prevent damage. Periodically check for software updates on Roland's website.
Press the "Metronome" button to turn it on. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the tempo. To change the time signature, hold the "Metronome" button and use the "+" or "-" buttons to select the desired signature.
Check if the power cord is properly connected to both the piano and the power outlet. Ensure the outlet is functional by testing it with another device. If the piano still does not power on, it may require servicing by a professional technician.
To layer sounds, press the "Dual" button. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to select the first tone, then press the "Dual" button again to select the second tone. Adjust the balance between the two tones using the "Balance" control.
Ensure the piano is placed in an acoustically favorable location, away from walls and corners. Adjust the equalizer settings to suit your environment. Regularly clean the speakers and ensure they are not obstructed.
