IMPO RTAN T N O TES  
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:  
Po w e r Su p p ly  
Ad d itio n a l Pre ca u tio n s  
553  
301  
Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any  
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric  
motor or variable lighting system).  
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units  
buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks  
and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.  
302  
554  
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long  
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a  
cause for concern.  
556  
Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.  
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 cables  
internal elements.  
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.  
558a  
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units  
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).  
Pla ce m e n t  
351  
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
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.  
559a  
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.  
561  
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.  
352  
This device may interfere with radio and television  
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such  
receivers.  
562  
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using  
some other make of connection cable, please note the  
following precautions.  
354a  
Do 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.  
• 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.  
355  
To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet  
area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.  
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.  
Sta n d (FPS-1 0 A: so ld se p a ra te ly )  
Ca u tio n s W h e n Ha n d lin g th e Sp e a k e r Sta n d  
Do not leave this instrument standing on end for more  
than approximately two weeks. Doing so can adversely  
impact the keyboards functionality.  
To prevent accidents caused by falling speakers, do not  
use the speaker stands included with the stand FPS-10A in  
combination with any other instrument or product.  
359  
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.  
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the  
exterior finish.  
Be sure to use the provided velcro tape to keep the  
speakers fixed to where they are set on the speaker stands.  
Setting the speakers sideways to increase power may  
cause the velcro tape to separate, making it easier for the  
speakers to fall; exercise due caution.  
Ma in te n a n ce  
401a  
For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth  
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.  
Please use Roland speakers that meet the following  
requirements:  
<Weight: 10 kg or less;  
402  
Dimensions: 210 (W) x 280 (D) x 330 (H) mm or less>  
When installed in combination with speakers other than  
one described above, Roland no assurance as to the  
stability thereof. Before attempting such use, be sure to  
check carefully to ensure that stable installation continued  
stability during use are possible.  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any  
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/ or  
deformation.  
Merely screwing in the speaker stand attachment screws  
as is without the proper preparation may result in damage  
to the unit. Be absolutely sure to attach the speaker stand  
attachment screws to the speaker stands.

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.  
Also completely turn down the volume of any connected  
audio device and other equipment.  
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.

“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel  
“Session Partner” is a function that lets you select the On/ Off status of the  
two Rhythm buttons along with the “Rhythm,” making it easy to add  
accompaniment.  
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.  
Additionally, you can also have chord changes be made automatically as  
you play the Rhythm, giving you piano performances with a session-like  
feel—like having a whole band backing you.  
What You Can Do With “Session Partner”  
“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.  
• Play along to a Rhythms Drum Part in place of the metronome sound  
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord  
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify  
• Record Rhythms along with specified chords, then use the entire  
By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody,  
you can easily enjoy creating 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 are the FP-3’s “Rhythms?”  
The FP-3 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Jazz, Rock, and other  
various musical genres.  
“Rhythms,” which combine rhythmic patterns, bass patterns, and other  
elements found in different musical styles, form the foundation of  
performance accompaniment in the “Session Partner” function.  
Additionally, each Rhythm is composed of a “Drum Part” and a “Chord  
Part.”  
Drum Parts consist of drum sounds. Chord Parts are Parts in which chords  
are played, with the bass sound forming the foundation, but also using other  
instrumental sounds. You can play each of these Parts by pressing the  
[Drums] and [Chord] buttons.

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using  
their original tuning.  
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other  
such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another  
instrument.  
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.  
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note  
thats played when you finger the middle A key. For a  
cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more  
other instruments, ensure that each instruments basic pitch  
is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of  
all the instruments to a standard pitch is called “master  
tuning.”  
1 . Hold down the [Song] button and press the  
[Chorus] button.  
You can set the standard pitch anywhere in a range of 415.3  
Hz to 466.2 Hz.  
The indicators for the [Song] and [Chorus] buttons flash

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.

pitch.  
The pitch is lowered 0.1 Hz each time the [-] button is  
pressed. When the button is held down, the pitch drops

Pythagorean  
This tuning, devised by the philos-  
opher Pythagoras, eliminates dis-  
sonance in fourths and fifths.  
Dissonance is produced by third-  
interval chords, but melodies are  
euphonious.  
The pitch is raised 0.1 Hz each time the [+] button is  
pressed. When the button is held down, the pitch rises

The Just tunings differ from major  
and minor keys. You can get the  
same effect with the minor scale as  
with the major scale.  
The metronome usually sounds one beat per quarter note,  
but you can change the beat pattern to sound, for example,  
one beat for every dotted quarter note.

MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and  
is a worldwide standard for the exchange of performance  
data (MIDI messages) and other information among  
electronic instruments and computers.  
Connection example:

The FP-3 features a MIDI connector and a computer  
connector to allow performance information to be exchanged  
with external devices. Connecting the keyboard to other  
devices with these connectors provides you with an even  
greater variety of ways to use your keyboard.

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.  
2 . Turn off the power to the FP-3 and to the device

Cause/ What to do  
Is the pedal connected correctly?  
Connect the pedal securely to the Pedal jack  
When listening through speakers:  
Playing at loud volumes may cause instru-  
ments near the FP-3 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 reso-  
nance.  
Pedal Has No  
Effect, or Effect  
“Sticks”  
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while  
the power is on may cause the pedals 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. 10).  
Low End Sounds  
Are Strange/Have  
a Rattling Sound  
As the FP-3 piano sounds faithfully repro-  
duce the depth and reverberation of actual  
acoustic pianos, reverberation may still be  
audible even after the reverb effect is  
removed from sounds.  
- Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from  
walls and other surfaces.  
Reverb Remains  
Even After Reverb  
is Lifted  
- Reduce the volume.  
- Move the speakers away from any resonat-  
ing objects.  
When listening through headphones:  
The cause lies somewhere else. Consult your  
Roland dealer or nearest Roland Service Cen-  
ter.  
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. Rolands pianos faithfully reproduce  
the sonic qualities of acoustic pianos. Fur-  
thermore, you can use the instruments Key  
Transpose setting to change that range over  
which the damper pedal has no effect.  
Sound Suddenly  
Changes at Key in

The Volume Level

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-fre-  
quency component, which may make it  
appear that a metallic reverberation has been  
applied. This faithfully reproduces the char-  
acteristics of acoustic pianos, and does not  
indicate any malfunction. Since this reverber-  
ation becomes particularly audible when  
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-3) would be suspect.
