SYN PIANO 1 PIANO 2 E.PIANO STRINGS STRINGS CHORUS REVERB cm cm cm cm cm cm Shallower <-> Deeper While holding down 5 Function Button This button is used to activate many of the ——FP-l's functions. For a detailed explanation of the [FUNCTION] button, please refer to pages 8-11. Tune Knob The FP-1 can easily be tuned to match the . pitch of another musical instrument. This is useful for playing in ensembles or for playing along with recordings. Rotating the [TUNE] knob counterclockwise (to #) increases the pitch, while rotating it clockwise (to b) lowers the pitch. * When the [TUNE] knob is set to the center position, the middle A (la) key will have a pitch of 440.0 Hz. * By turning the knob all the way in one direction from center, the pitch will change by approximately 50 cents (1/2 semitone). Phones Jack Connect headphones to the Phones jack locat-——' ed on the far left side of the keyboard. Using headphones is a great way to practice without disturbing those around you. The [VOLUME] slider can be used to control the headphone volume. 7 c Other Useful Functions When you press [FUNCTION] (the indicator will light), all the panel buttons will work to set various aspects of the instrument's operation. To return to the normal playing mode, press [FUNCTION] again (the indicator will go out). In other words, the functions described on pages 8 and 9 can only be set while the [FUNCTION] indicator is lighted. Transposing the Keyboard The Transposition function allows you to transpose the pitch of the entire keyboard without having to change your fingering. For example, you can play music in any key you like using the fingering of the C major scale! Press [#] or [b] as many times as necessary to reach the desired transposition. [#] Each time you press this button, the pitch will rise by a semitone (up to five semitones). [b] Each time you press this button, the pitch will fall by a semitone (up to six semitones). Pressing [#] and [b] simultaneously will return the FP-1 to C major key. For example, if you wish to play a piece written in E major using the fingering of C major, press [#] four times (because there are four semitones between C and E on the keyboard). [#] button once twice 3 times 4 times Pitch of C key C# D D# E * You can also set the transposition using a different method. (See page 11.) Setting the Pedal's Function The FP-1 allows you to select one of the following three effects that you want to apply using a pedal connected to the [SOFT PEDAL] jack on the rear of the FP-1. (See page 4.) Soft • Connect the supplied DP-6 pedal to the [SOFT PEDAL] jack. The ISOSTENUTO] and [EXPRESSION] indicators should both be dark. • Play the keyboard while the pedal is depressed, and the sound you hear will be softer than usual. • The Soft function is automatically selected every time the FP-1 is turned on. Sostenuto • Connect the supplied DP-6 pedal to the [SOFT PEDAL] jack. • Press [SOSTENUTO] ([E. PIANO]) and confirm that the indicator has lighted. • The Sostenuto function is now in effect—notes being sounded the moment the pedal is depressed will be sustained. Since notes played later will not have the effect applied to them, you can selectively apply the effect to specific notes. Expression • Connect an optional Roland EV-5 Expression pedal to the [SOFT PEDAL] jack. • Press [EXPRESSION] ([STRINGS]) and confirm that the indicator has lighted. • Now you can change the volume of the sounds you play by depressing the pedal. • Note that this function only affects sustained sounds such as STRINGS or SYN STRINGS.
