Value Explanation

Personalizing Your Piano (Piano Tone)

Lets you personalize your piano sound by adjusting various elements that affect the sound: the piano's physical strings, the
resonance produced by the pedals, the sound of hammers striking the strings, and more.
This lets you specify the amount of "stretch tuning, " a tuning method specifically for pianos, in which the high
range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
OFF, ON
If you select "ON, " a standard tuning curve created for the FP-50 will be used.
This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration produced in strings
other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).
OFF, 1–10
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of strings for
previously played notes that occur when you play another note).
OFF, 1–10
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano's key-off sound (the subtle sound that occurs
when you release a note).
OFF, 1–10
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself.
OFF, 1–10
Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
When you play a chord, this setting improves the clarity of the individual notes in the chord, creating a more
beautiful resonance.
OFF, 1–10
Higher settings produce a clearer resonance.

Specifying What to Transpose (Transpose Mode)

This setting specifies what the transpose will affect. You can use the transpose to change the pitch of both the song and the keyboard, the
pitch of only the song, or the pitch of only the keyboard.
KBD
Keyboard only
SONG Song play only
BOTH
Both keyboard play and song play

Adjusting the Dual Play Volume Balance (Dual Balance)

You can adjust the volume balance between the two tones (tone 1 and tone 2) used for Dual Play (p. 14).
MEMO
During Dual play, you can also adjust the volume balance between tone 1 and tone 2 by holding down the TONE button
and pressing the [ BACKING] or [KEYBOARD ] button.
9-1 (tone 1 is louder)–9-9 (same volume)–1-9 (tone 2 is louder)

Adjusting the Split Play Volume Balance (Split Balance)

You can adjust the volume balance between the two tones (right-hand tone and left-hand tone) used for Split Play (p. 15).
MEMO
During Split play, you can also adjust the volume balance between the right-hand tone and left-hand tone by holding
down the TONE button and pressing the [ BACKING] or [KEYBOARD ] button.
9-1 (left-hand tone is louder)–9-9 (same volume)–1-9 (right-hand tone is louder)

Changing the Pitch of the Tone in Octave Steps (Octave Shift)

You can change the pitch of the Tone 2 in Dual Play (p. 14) and Left-hand tone in Split Play (p. 15) an octave at a time.
Altering the pitch in one-octave units in this way is called "Octave Shift. "
For example, you can raise the pitch of the Left-hand tone to the same pitch of the Right-hand tone in Split Play.
-2–0–+2 (octave)
You can select a drum-only rhythm part.
