maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the FP-7’s functionality, please read this  
owner’s manual carefully.  
About the Manual  
You should first read the “Before You Play” (p. 18) section of the owner’s manual (this  
document). This explains how to connect the AC adaptor and turn on the power.  
The owner’s manual explains basic operations you’ll need to know in order to master the  
FP-7’s performance functions, as well as more advanced operations, such as using the  
FP-7 to record a song.  
Conventions in this Manual  
In order to explain the operations as clearly as possible, this manual uses the following  
conventions.  
• Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates the name of a button or a knob, such as the  
[Display] button.  
NOTE  
• Lines that begin with  
to read.  
or an asterisk * are cautionary statements that you must be sure  
• The numbers of pages that you can turn to for additional, related information are given like  
this: (p. **).  
• This document uses screen shots for explanatory purposes. Please be aware that the settings  
in these explanatory screen shots may not match the actual factory settings (Tone names, etc.).  
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 8), and  
“Important Notes” (p. 11). These sections provide important information concerning the proper  
operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every  
feature provided by your new unit, owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should  
be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

Main Features  
Main Features  
Serious piano performance  
The FP-7 provides the sounds of a high-quality concert grand piano coupled with the PHA II keyboard, which delivers a  
more piano-like touch, where the low range is heavier and the high range is lighter.  
It provides three pedal jacks, and is shipped with a pedal that supports half-damper operation, allowing you to adjust the  
depth of the lingering resonances so that you can enjoy the subtle nuances of serious piano performance.  
High-quality speakers and piano sounds  
The FP-7 features 88-key multi-sampled piano sounds.  
Every note of an 88-key grand piano has been sampled to faithfully reproduce its tonal character and allow for dynamic  
expression of the full range of sonic nuances, from delicate pianissimo to powerful fortissimo.  
The rich resonances and lifelike presence of these sounds are faithfully reproduced through the high-quality speakers of  
the FP-7.  
“Audio Key” lets you play back an audio file while you perform  
You can prepare your own audio file and trigger it for playback at the desired moment during your performance. This  
can be used to add human voices or short phrases to your performance, giving a “live” atmosphere to your playing.  
Alternatively, you can assign a different audio song to each key, and perform with these songs in the background.  
“Session Partner” lets you enjoy session-style playing  
You can play the piano along with realistic “rhythms” to enjoy session-style performances.  
Since suitable chord progressions are assigned to each rhythm, simply selecting a rhythm will automatically choose the  
appropriate chord progression.  
“Piano Designer” lets you customize the piano sound to your liking  
This function gives you even greater expressive range by letting you adjust a simulation of how a piano’s strings  
sympathetically vibrate, the way in which opening or closing the lid of a grand piano affects the sounds, or the way in  
which the damper moves away from the strings when you press the damper pedal. By making these adjustments you can  
create your own personal piano sound.  
“Registrations” let you store favorite performance settings  
Your performance settings such as sound selections, settings for Session Partner, and keyboard touch settings can be  
stored as a “registration” for instant recall when desired.  
What you can do using USB memory  
The FP-7 provides an external memory connector. If you connect USB memory (sold separately), you’ll be able to play  
back SMF music files or audio files from USB memory. This also provides a convenient way to store a performance  
you’ve recorded or registration data you’ve created.

Adjusting the Volume  
Attaching the Music Rest  
Here’s how to adjust the volume when you’re playing the  
keyboard, or when you’re playing back internal preset songs  
or USB memory songs.  
If headphones are connected, use the [Volume] knob to adjust  
the headphone volume.  
Here’s how to attach the included music rest.  
1. Install the included screws into the back of the  
instrument (two locations) as shown in the  
illustration.  
fig.MusicRest.eps  
1. Turn the [Volume] knob to adjust the overall  
volume.  
Adjust the volume while you play the keyboard to  
produce sound.  
Rotating the knob clockwise increases the volume;  
counterclockwise rotation decreases it.

2. Place the music rest between the screws and  
the chassis.  
fig.MusicRestScrew.eps  
3. While using one hand to support the music  
rest, tighten the screws (two locations) to  
fasten the music rest firmly in place.  
fig.MusicRest.eps  
When attaching the music rest, you must use your hand  
to support it firmly so that it does not fall. Be careful not  
to pinch your hand.  
To remove the music rest, support it with one hand while  
you loosen the screws. Remove the music rest, and then  
securely retighten the screws.  
Don’t apply excessive force to the installed music  
rest.

Before You Play  
Damper Pedal  
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.  
Connecting the Pedals  
Connect the included pedal to one of the Pedal jacks.  
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an  
extended time even if you release your fingers from the  
keyboard.  
The operation of the pedal will differ depending on the jack to  
which it’s connected.  
The pedal included with the FP-7 functions as a half-damper  
pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance.  
fig.pedals-e.eps  
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-7 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. 118),  
“Using a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).  
Pedal  
Connected jack  
Damper jack  
Operation  
The pedal will operate as a damper  
pedal.  
The pedal will operate as a sostenuto  
pedal.  
Alternatively, you can assign a  
different function (p. 91, p. 118).  
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  
acoustic piano.  
Sostenuto / (FC1)  
jack  
The pedal will operate as a soft pedal.  
Alternatively, you can assign a  
different function (p. 91, p. 118).  
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to  
which you press the pedal.  
Soft / (FC2) jack  
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. 118), “Using  
a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).  
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-7 must  
be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal  
cord.  
NOTE  
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-7.  
You can connect the expression pedal to the  
Sostenuto/ (FC1) or the Soft/ (FC2) jack to adjust the  
volume. Use 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.

Before You Play  
Listening through Headphones  
You can use headphones to enjoy the FP-7 without disturbing  
those around you, such as at night. Since the FP-7 has two  
headphone jacks, two people can also use headphones  
simultaneously.  
Adjusting the Contrast of the  
Screen  
You can adjust the brightness of the FP-7’s display.  
fig.  
If you’re using only one set of headphones, you may connect  
them to either of the two headphone jacks.  
fig.Headphones.eps  
1. Turn the [Contrast] knob to adjust the contrast  
of the screen.  
Cautions Regarding the LCD Display  
Headphones  
• You may see vertical lines in the screen, but this is due to  
the structure of a liquid crystal display, and does not  
indicate a malfunction. By using the [Contrast] knob to  
adjust the contrast of the screen, you can minimize these  
lines.  
1. Plug the headphones into the Phones jack.  
If headphones are connected, no sound will be output  
from the FP-7’s speakers.  
• The contrast of the screen may be affected by the  
temperature.  
2. Use the FP-7’s [Volume] knob (p. 20) 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.

Performing with a Variety of Sounds  
The FP-7 features over 300 different internal sounds, allowing you to enjoy performing  
with sounds suitable for many different types of music.  
These onboard sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into seven different  
groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.  
The Tone “Grand Piano 1” is selected when the instrument’s power is turned on.

Simulating the Way that Sounds are Created on an Organ  
(Tone Wheel)  
The FP-7 lets you create your own original organ sounds.  
Of the Tone buttons, the tones assigned to the [TW Organ] (Tone Wheel Organ) button  
simulate the way in which sounds are created on a tonewheel 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 different 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.  
Each harmonic bar is assigned a sine wave (a pure pitch without overtones) of a different  
pitch, and by combining these pitches you can create a wide range of sounds.  
Time  
8' volume: 8  
Time  
Time  
4' volume: 5  
You can simulate the creation of tones using the harmonic bars by assigning footages to  
the Tone buttons.  
The FP-7 provides two screens for this purpose: the “Tonewheel Organ screen” and the  
“TW Edit (Tone Wheel Edit) screen.” Graphics indicating the state of the harmonic bars  
are shown in these screens.  
You can switch between these two screens by holding down the [Display] button and  
using the [-] [+] buttons.

What’s the feet?  
“Feet” 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'.  
The pitches of the harmonic bars are related as follows.  
When the middle C (C4) note is pressed, each  
harmonic bar will sound the following notes.  
16'  
51/3'  
8'

8' =  
On tonewheel organs, the high-pitched footage for a portion of the high range, and the  
low-pitched footage for a portion of the low range are “folded-back” in units of one  
octave.  
Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being  
unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the low-frequency portion prevents the sound from  
becoming “muddy.”  
On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)  
Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more  
crispness. The attack sound changes according to the value.  
The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were played. When notes  
were played legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion was applied only to the first-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. On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.  
Hold down the [Display] button and press the [-] [+] buttons to select the

comfortable for the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key (fingering).  
You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing your  
fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with numerous  
sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

Performing with Audio Files (Audio Key)  
The FP-7 lets you play audio files saved on USB memory (sold separately) while you  
perform. This is called the “Audio Key” function.  
The Audio Key function lets you assign an audio file to each key B 0–B1, and play those  
audio files by pressing the corresponding key. You can assign various phrases to the keys  
and play them at the appropriate moments during your performance.  
You can also specify that an audio file play repeatedly, or reserve the audio file that  
should be played next.  
If you turn on the Audio Key function when USB memory containing audio files is not  
connected, an audio file built into the FP-7 will be selected.  
Here are some ways in which you can enjoy using the Audio Key function.  
• By switching audio files between sections such as Intro, Theme, Break, and Ending  
as your song progresses, you can freely change the structure of the song while you  
perform.  
• Assign a different audio song to each key, and use the keyboard to switch songs so  
you can perform to the accompaniment of an audio song.

On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a

slowly, meaning that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a  
strongly-played note) from the moment you press the key until the sound  
is produced.

What are 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.

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 rhythm 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, you can practice the piano in a different way than usual by playing along  
with Session Partner instead of a metronome.  
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.  
We encourage you to enjoy the variety of performance options open to you by using the  
“Session Partner” feature.  
What You Can Do with “Session Partner”  
“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.  
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord progression continues  
automatically (p. 67).  
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify chords with the left hand  
(the left part of the keyboard) (p. 73).  
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord progressions (p. 76).  
“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-7’s “Rhythms?”  
The FP-7 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.  
Drums Part  
Bass Part  
Accompaniment Part (except drum and bass part)

Saving a recorded song in internal memory  
• You can save a recorded song so it will be preserved even while the FP-7’s power is turned  
off. The songs you record will be lost if you simply turn off the power. However, once they’re  
saved in internal memory, your songs won’t be discarded; the next time you turn the power  
on, you’ll be able to play them back and listen to your performance.  
Saving a recorded song to USB memory  
• You can save a recorded song to USB memory as a backup.  
It’s a good idea to save important performance data to USB memory.  
Saving favorite songs to internal memory  
• You can save songs you’re practicing to internal memory.  
If you connect separately sold USB memory or a CD drive, and copy SMF music files from the  
USB memory or a CD-ROM into the FP-7’s internal memory, it will be easy to select these  
songs.

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other

After adjusting the master tuning setting, you can store that  
setting to internal memory.  
If you’ve stored the master tuning setting, it will be preserved  
even when the power is turned off.  
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note  
that’s played when you finger 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. This tuning of all the  
instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tune.”

their original tuning.  
This tuning, devised by the philosopher  
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in  
fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced  
by third-interval chords, but melodies are  
euphonious.  
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.

If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select

you turn on the power.  
Setting  
C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B  
This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the  
fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing  
melodies and cannot be transposed, but  
is capable of beautiful sonorities.  
Just Major  
Just Minor  
When performing in ensemble with other  
NOTE  
instruments, be aware that depending on the key,  
there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the FP-7  
to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments.  
The Just tunings differ from major and  
minor keys. You can get the same effect  
with the minor scale as with the major  
scale.  
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  
(third method).

Connecting to MIDI Devices  
The FP-7 provides MIDI connectors so that performance data  
can be transferred between it and other devices. By using  
these connectors to connect other devices with the FP-7, you  
can take advantage of a wide range of possibilities.  
Making the Connections  
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers  
or other devices, always turn down the volume, and  
turn off the power on all devices before making any  
connections.

What’s MIDI?  
“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” It is a  
universal standard that allows performance data to be  
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and computers.  
The FP-7 contains a General MIDI 2 compatible sound  
generator.  
MIDI cables are not included. Consult your Roland  
dealer if you need to purchase.

The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to  
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary  
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound  
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files  
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI  
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be  
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to  
produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2  
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick  
up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced  
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that  
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,  
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be  
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the  
available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant  
sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files  
that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.  
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does  
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General  
MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

Connecting to MIDI Devices  
When a Roland MT series instrument is connected, it  
is not necessary to make the Local Off setting. The  
MT transmits a Local Off message when the power is  
turned on. If you turn on the power in the order of the  
FP-7 MT series, Local Off will be set automatically.  
Preventing Doubled Notes When  
Connected to a Sequencer  
(Local Control)  
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this  
parameter to Local Off.  
1. Press the [Function] button.  
Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be  
turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by  
the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the  
two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes  
to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To  
prevent this, the setting called “Local Off” is used to disconnect  
the route in (1).  
2. Press the [Sound Control] button.  
The MIDI screen appears.

Connecting to MIDI Devices  
If you want your recorded performance to be saved on a MIDI  
sequencer such as an MT-series unit (except for the MT-90s),  
proceed as follows.  
In this case, turn off the MIDI Thru setting of your external MIDI  
sequencer. For details, refer to the owner’s manual of your  
MIDI sequencer.

When you choose a Program Change message (Program  
Number), the Program Number will be transmitted to the  
MIDI device connected to the FP-7. The MIDI device that  
receives the Program Number changes the tone to the  
corresponding Program Number.  
Normally, the Tone is selected from the 128 Tones  
available. Some MIDI devices, however, have more than  
128 Tones. With such devices, the Tone is selected  
through a combination of Program Change messages and  
Bank Select messages. There are two parts of a Bank Select  
message: the MSB (Controller 0, with a value of 0–127)  
and the LSB (Controller 32, with a value of 0–127).  
* Some MIDI instruments can’t handle Bank Select  
messages. Others can handle Bank Selects, but do not  
recognize the LSB part.  
4. Start recording on your connected MIDI  
sequencer.  
5. Play back the performance that you recorded  
on the FP-7.  
6. When playback is finished, stop recording on  
your MIDI sequencer.

The FP-7’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 defeated  
the Reverb effect.  
Reverberation remains even if you  
defeat the Reverb effect  
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the  
top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These  
notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. FP-7 faithfully simulate this  
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the FP-7, the range that is unaffected by the  
damper pedal will change according to the key control setting.

If you hear this in headphones:  
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-  
frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing has been  
added. This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully  
reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb  
effect is applied heavily, so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the  
reverb.  
High-pitched ringing is heard  
If you don’t hear this in headphones:  
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit).  
Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.  
If you don’t hear this in headphones:  
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the FP-7 to  
resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate sympathetically. In  
particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can  
take the following measures to minimize resonances.  
• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.  
• Keep the volume down.  
• Move away from the objects that are resonating.  
Low notes sound wrong, or are

Music Files That the FP-7 Can Use  
What Are Music Files?  
Music files contains musical information such as how long the  
General MIDI  
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to  
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to  
the key played, and other such information. Performance data  
is transmitted to the FP-7 from music files saved in USB  
memory, and played back without change as songs. This is  
different than a audio CD, since the music file does not  
contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible  
to change tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in  
many different ways.  
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary  
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound  
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files  
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI  
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be  
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to  
produce essentially the same musical performance.  
General MIDI 2  
Regarding Copyright  
Use of the internal songs and audio files for any purpose other  
than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the  
copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data  
must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted  
work without the permission of the copyright holder.  
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are  
based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially  
available SMF music files, such works may violate copyright  
law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment.  
Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright violation you  
may commit by creating such works.  
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations  
pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering  
enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater  
compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original  
General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to  
be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been  
precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been  
expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are  
capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either  
the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.  
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which  
does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as  
“General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General  
MIDI 2.  
The FP-7 Allows You To Use the  
Following Music Files  
GS Format  
The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for  
standardizing the performance of sound generating devices.  
In addition to including support for everything defined by the  
General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally  
offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing  
of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of  
extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus.  
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily  
include new sounds and support new hardware features when  
they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General  
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back  
GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music  
files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).  
VIMA TUNES  
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that  
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs  
with lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the  
“VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on a device that bears  
the same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a  
connected external display or television, letting you enjoy  
karaoke or watch a slide show.  
* This instrument (FP-7) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES  
images.  
SMF Music Files  
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music  
file that was formulated so that files containing music file 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.  
XG lite  
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that  
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and  
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General  
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone  
generation format. You can play back any XG music files  
using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that  
some music files may play back differently compared to the  
original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and  
effects.  
SMF with Lyrics  
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that  
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with  
Lyrics” logo are played back on the FP-7, the lyrics will appear  
in its display.
