Roland FP-1 User Manual

Power Switch
Before connecting the FP-1 with other
devices, make sure that it is switched off.
Damper Pedal Jack
Connect the supplied DP-6 pedal to this jack.
Depressing the pedal while you play will
then create a resonance (sustaining) effect similar to
the effect of a damper pedal on a real piano. This
eftect is especially useful for sounds such as strings, as
the sound will be sustained for as long as the pedal is
depressed.
Soft Pedal Jack (Soft,
Sostenuto, Expression)
To obtain the Soft or Sostenuto effect, connect
the DP-6 to this jack. To obtain an Expression (vol-
ume) effect, connect an Expression pedal (such as the
optional EV-5) to the jack. For a detailed explanation
of these functions, please see page 8.
MIDI Connectors
Use these sockets to connect the FP-1 to other
MIDI devices (using special MIDI cables).
With MIDI, a wide range of performance possibilities
becomes available. For detailed information, please
refer to “Local On/Off” on page 9, and “Using the
MIDI Functions” on page 10.

Line Input Jacks
By connecting external audio devices to the FP-
1's [LINE IN] jacks (with audio cables), you can
hear that external device through the FP-1’s PHONES
jack, [SPEAKER OUT], and/or [LINE OUT] jacks.
* The sound from this external device will be mixed with the
sounds produced by the FP-1 itself.
Line Output Jacks
By connecting these jacks (using audio
cables) to external audio devices (such as an
amp/mixer or a tape recorder), you can hear the FP-1
at a much higher volume (for live performances), or
record what you play directly onto tape.
Connect these jacks to the speakers in the
optional FPS-1 keyboard stand. Please refer
to the FPS-1 Owner's Manual for details.
* Connect only speakers which have an impedance of 4 Q or
greater and which have an input rating of 10 W or higher.
Never connect any other kind of speakers, or other devices.
* If you ever need to move the instrument, be very careful
(keep it in a level position) so it does not topple and cause
injury.
7 Speaker Output Jacks
When you have finished setting up, switch on the FP-1.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief
interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before
the unit will operate normally.
