..........................................................................................................  
103bAt regular intervals, you should unplug the AC  
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.

adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by  
your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or  
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the  
“Information” page when:  
• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the  
plug has been damaged; or  
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs  
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been  
spilled onto the unit; or  
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise  
has become wet); or

108d: Selection  
If you need to move the instrument, take note of  
the precautions listed below. At least two persons  
are required to safely lift and move the unit. It  
should be handled carefully, all the while keeping  
it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect  
yourself from injury and the instrument from  
damage.  
..........................................................................................................  
014  
Protect the unit from strong impact.  
(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.

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  
Maintenance  
301  
401a  
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is  
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth  
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.  
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.  
302  
Additional Precautions  
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long  
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a  
cause for concern.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Placement  
351  
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
556  
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 inter-  
ference.  
• 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.  
352a  
558a  
• This device may interfere with radio and television  
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s  
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such  
receivers.  
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).  
352b  
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications  
559a  
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of  
this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi-  
ating 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.  
• 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.  
560  
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in  
use.  
354Da o 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.  
561Use 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.  
562Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using  
some other make of connection cable, please note the  
following precautions.  
355Wb hen 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.  
• 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 infor-  
mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac-  
turer of the cable.  
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.  
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.

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the  
plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the  
AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in  
the illustration.  
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. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical  
charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about  
this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) 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 fire or explosion)  
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of  
lightning)

Installing the Music Stand  
Connecting Pedals  
fig.00-03  
1. Connect the pedal included with the FP-2 to one  
of the Pedal jacks.  
When connected to the Damper jack,  
the pedal can be used as a damper  
pedal.  
When connected to Sostenuto(FC1)  
jack, the pedal can be used as a  
sostenuto pedal. In addition, it can be  
set to function as an another works  
(p. 39, p. 48).  
1. Using the supplied screws, attach the music stand  
to the back of the FP-2 as illustrated.  
Be sure to use the supplied screws for attaching the  
music stand.  
When connected to Soft(FC2) jack,  
the pedal can be used as a soft pedal.  
In addition, it can be set to function  
as an another works (p. 39, p. 48).  
Turn the screws clockwise until they’re held in place–but  
don’t tighten them yet.  
*
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on  
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping.  
The power of the FP-2 must be turned off before inserting or  
removing a pedal cord.  
2. Put the music stand between the screws and the  
FP-2’s body.  
3. While supporting the music stand with one hand,  
Damper Pedal  
secure it in place by turning the screws.  
Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While the pedal is  
depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be  
added to the sound after you release from the keys.  
The pedal included with the FP-2 functions as a half-damper  
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.  
When attaching the music stand, support it firmly with  
one hand to make sure that you don’t drop it. Be careful,  
so you don’t get your fingers pinched.  
To remove the music stand, support it with one hand  
while loosening the screws.  
After removing the music stand, don’t forget to retighten  
the screws.  
*
Do not apply excessive force to the installed music stand.

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. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup  
(Pedal shift)” (p. 48).  
Soft Pedal  
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. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup  
(Pedal shift)” (p. 48).  
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-2.

Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms  
What is Session Partner?  
“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel  
“Session Partner” is an easy-to-use function that plays accompaniment in a  
variety of musical styles.  
Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you  
the feel that you are playing live with a band backing you.  
For example, playing with “Session Partner” instead of using the  
metronome always lets you practice the piano with something different.  
You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are  
playing.  
By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody,  
you can easily create all kinds of new arrangements.  
by using the “Session Partner” feature.  
What You Can Do With “Session Partner”  
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord  
progression continues automatically (p. 28).  
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify  
chords with the left hand (the left part of the keyboard) (p. 31).  
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord  
progressions (p. 32).  
“Session Partner” lets you add accompaniment with the “rhythms” and  
performance parts you select.  
You can play intros, endings, and fill-ins (short phrases inserted at transition  
points in the song) by pressing buttons as you play the keyboard.  
What are the FP-2’s “Rhythms?”  
The FP-2 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other  
various musical genres.  
“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate  
the mood or signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the  
accompaniment used in “Session Partner.”  
A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.  
• Drum Part  
• Bass Part  
• Chord Part  
You can select the part to be played with the [Part] button.

Adjusting the Tuning  
(Temperament)  
You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using  
their original tuning.  
This is an improvement of the Mean  
Tone and Just tunings that provides a  
high degree of freedom of modulation.  
Performances are possible in all keys  
(III).  
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.

When playing with tuning other than equal  
temperament, you need to specify the keynote 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 keynote.

Qualities  
In this tuning, each octave is divided  
into twelve equal steps. Every interval  
produces about the same amount of  
slight dissonance. This setting is in  
effect when you turn on the power.  
1. Switch to Function mode (p. 38), and press the  
[
(Metronome)] button.  
fig.02-03  
2 Pythagorean  
3 Just Major  
4 Just Minor  
This tuning, devised by the philosopher  
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in  
fourths and fifths. Dissonance is pro-  
duced by third-interval chords, but mel-  
odies are euphonious.  
2. Press the [-] or [+] button to change the beat.  
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in  
the fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to  
playing melodies and cannot be trans-  
posed, but is capable of beautiful sonor-  
ities.  
The currently selected beat is displayed.  
You cannot change the metronome beat while a song or  
Rhythm is being played.

When you change the rhythm or the Internal song, the beat of

The Just tunings differ from major and  
minor keys. You can get the same effect  
with the minor scale as with the major  
scale.

What is a Sequencer?  
Switching Local Control On and Off  
A sequencer is a device that records the stream of MIDI  
messages that is sent out by an instrument. These messages  
convey all the details of what has occurred while the  
instrument is played; including the timing of notes, their  
sound, the force used to play them, and for how long.  
Afterwards, you can send the recorded MIDI information  
back to the instrument, and it will play automatically.  
When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to “Off.”  
When the instrument is turned on, this is set to “On.”  
As illustrated, information describing what has been played  
on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator  
over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear  
overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from  
happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to

Effects Not  
Applied  
As the FP-2 piano sounds faithfully  
reproduce the depth and reverberation of  
actual acoustic pianos, reverberation may  
still be audible even after the reverb effect  
is removed from sounds.  
The FP-2 has a maximum polyphony of 64  
voices. When playing together with a song  
or Rhythm along with heavy use of the  
damper pedal, the performance data may  
exceed the number of available voices, and  
as a result, some notes or sounds played on  
the keyboard may not sound.

Troubleshooting  
Case  
Cause/What to do  
Case  
Cause/What to do  
Is the pedal connected correctly?  
Connect the pedal securely to the Pedal  
jack (p. 9).  
When listening through speakers:  
Playing at loud volumes may cause  
instruments near the FP-2 to resonate.  
Resonation can also occur with  
fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and  
other objects. In particular, this problem  
occurs more easily when the bass  
component is increased, and when the  
sound is played at higher volumes. Use  
the following measures to suppress  
such resonance.  
Are you using a pedal made by another  
manufacturer? Use the pedal included  
with the FP-2 or an optional DP Series or  
similar pedal.  
Pedal Has No  
Effect, or Effect  
“Sticks”  
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit  
while the power is on may cause the  
pedal’s effect to be applied nonstop.  
Be sure to switch off the power to the unit  
before attempting to disconnect or connect  
a pedal cord (p. 9).  
- Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm  
from walls and other surfaces.  
- Reduce the volume.  
Low End Sounds  
Are Strange/Have  
a Rattling Sound  
- Move the speakers away from any  
resonating objects.  
Once it’s been assigned as a setup switch, a  
soft pedal or sostenuto pedal cannot be  
used for its original function (p. 48).  
- Check to make sure that the screws  
holding the music stand in place are  
not loose.  
With the acoustic piano settings, sounds in  
the upper 1 1/2-octave range are extended  
to the end regardless of the damper pedal  
actions. The tone is also different in this  
range. Roland’s pianos faithfully  
When listening through headphones:  
The cause lies somewhere else. Consult  
your Roland dealer or nearest Roland  
Service Center.  
Sound Suddenly  
Changes at Key in  
Upper Octaves  
reproduce the sonic qualities of acoustic  
pianos. Furthermore, you can use the  
instrument’s Key Transpose setting to  
change that range over which the damper  
pedal has no effect.  
With certain tones, the sounds may seem  
to be distorted.  
The volume level  
of the instrument  
connected to Line  
In Jack is too low  
Could you be using a connection cable that  
contains a resistor?  
Use a connection cable that does not  
contain a resistor.  
When listening through headphones:  
Certain piano tones that feature  
vibrant, sparking sounds contain a  
large high-frequency component,  
which may make it appear that a  
metallic reverberation has been  
applied. This faithfully reproduces the  
characteristics of acoustic pianos, and  
does not indicate any malfunction.  
Since this reverberation becomes  
particularly audible when  
High-Pitched  
Whine is Produced  
supplemented by heavy reverb, you  
may be able to diminish the problem by  
reducing the amount of reverb applied  
to the sound.  
When listening through speakers:  
Here, a different cause (such as  
resonance produced by the FP-2) would  
be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer  
or nearest Roland Service Center.
