manual abstract
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played, producing a rich resonance. The FP-4 simulates this sympathetic vibration (damper resonance). 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. 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. 82), “Using a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 64). Soft Pedal This pedal is used to make the sound softer. 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. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal. 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. 82), “Using a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 64). Listening through Headphones Listening through Headphones You can use headphones to enjoy the FP-4 without disturbing those around you, such as at night. Since the FP-4 has two headphone jacks, two people can also use headphones simultaneously. If you’re using only one set of headphones, you may connect them to either of the two headphone jacks. Headphones 1. Plug the headphones into the Phones jack. If headphones are connected, no sound will be output from the FP-4’s speakers. 2. Use the FP-4’s [Volume] knob (p. 17) to adjust the headphone volume. Cautions when Using Headphones • To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors, avoid rough handling. When using headphones, mainly try to handle either the plug or the headset. • Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a device is already turned up when you plug them in. Minimize the volume before you plug in the headphones. • Excessive input will not only damage your hearing, but may also strain the headphones. Please enjoy music at an appropriate volume. • Use headphones that have a stereo 1/4” phone plug. s Listening to Demo Songs Now, try listening to demo songs. The FP-4 comes with eight demo songs. The six Tone buttons, the [Session Partner] button, and the [Play] button are each assigned one demo song.
