Main Features

Serious piano performance
The FP-4 provides the sounds of a high-quality concert grand piano coupled with the PHA alpha 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-4 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-4.
"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.
"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.
Sounds that cover a wide range of styles, plus high-quality effects
In addition to piano sounds, the FP-4 contains more than 300 different sounds that can be used in a
wide range of musical genres. You can also use the keyboard to play drum sets.
You can also apply sixty-two types of high-quality effects for even greater expressive potential.
