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.
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.
