Main Features

Serious piano performance
The FP-7 provides the sounds of a high-quality concert grand piano coupled with the PHA 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-7 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-7.

“Audio Key” lets you play back an audio file while you perform
You can prepare your own audio file and trigger it for playback at the desired moment during your performance. This
can be used to add human voices or short phrases to your performance, giving a “live” atmosphere to your playing.
Alternatively, you can assign a different audio song to each key, and perform with these songs in the background.

“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.

“Piano Designer” lets you customize the piano sound to your liking
This function gives you even greater expressive range by letting you adjust a simulation of how a piano’s strings
sympathetically vibrate, the way in which opening or closing the lid of a grand piano affects the sounds, or the way in
which the damper moves away from the strings when you press the damper pedal. By making these adjustments you can
create your own personal piano sound.

“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.

What you can do using USB memory
The FP-7 provides an external memory connector. If you connect USB memory (sold separately), you’ll be able to play
back SMF music files or audio files from USB memory. This also provides a convenient way to store a performance
you’ve recorded or registration data you’ve created.

NOTE

Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator
(see illustration) faces upwards and the side with
textual information faces downwards.
The indicator will light when you plug the AC
adaptor into an AC outlet.

Even if the cord is fastened, strong tension applied to the
cord may cause it to be damaged or broken. Be careful
not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong
pressure to it.
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup,
you may experience a discomforting sensation, or
perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when
you touch this device. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless.
However, if you are concerned about this, connect the
ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground.
When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur,
depending on the particulars of your installation. If you
are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland
distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection

Connect the AC adaptor to the FP-7’s DC In
jack, and plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet.
Loop the AC adaptor cord around the cord
hook to fasten it in place.

Before You Play

Connecting the Pedals
Connect the included pedal to one of the Pedal jacks.
The operation of the pedal will differ depending on the jack to
which it’s connected.
fig.pedals-e.eps

Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an
extended time even if you release your fingers from the
keyboard.
The pedal included with the FP-7 functions as a half-damper
pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance.
On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will
cause the strings for notes other than the ones you actually
play to vibrate in sympathy with what you’ve played,
producing a rich resonance. The FP-7 simulates this
sympathetic vibration (damper resonance).
Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous”
when the pedal is connected.

Sostenuto Pedal
The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will
be sustained.

Pedal
Connected jack

Operation

Damper jack

The pedal will operate as a damper
pedal.

Sostenuto / (FC1)
jack

The pedal will operate as a sostenuto
pedal.
Alternatively, you can assign a
different function (p. 91, p. 118).

Soft / (FC2) jack

The pedal will operate as a soft pedal.
Alternatively, you can assign a
different function (p. 91, p. 118).

NOTE

Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the
power is on may cause the pedal’s effect to be
applied without stopping. The power of the FP-7 must
be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal
cord.

With the pedal connected to the Sostenuto / (FC1)
jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer
to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 118),
“Using a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).

Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is
not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an
acoustic piano.
The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to
which you press the pedal.
With the pedal connected to the Soft / (FC2) jack, it
can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to
“Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 118), “Using
a Pedal to Switch Registrations” (p. 91).

By obtaining a second and third pedal, you can then
use three pedals simultaneously. If you wish to
purchase the optional pedal (DP series), please
contact the dealer where you purchased the FP-7.
NOTE

You can connect the expression pedal to the
Sostenuto/ (FC1) or the Soft/ (FC2) jack to adjust the
volume. Use only the specified expression pedal (EV5; sold separately). By connecting any other
expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to the unit.

Before You Play

Listening through Headphones
You can use headphones to enjoy the FP-7 without disturbing
those around you, such as at night. Since the FP-7 has two
headphone jacks, two people can also use headphones
simultaneously.

Adjusting the Contrast of the
Screen
You can adjust the brightness of the FP-7’s display.
fig.

If you’re using only one set of headphones, you may connect
them to either of the two headphone jacks.
fig.Headphones.eps

Turn the [Contrast] knob to adjust the contrast
of the screen.

Cautions Regarding the LCD Display
Headphones

Plug the headphones into the Phones jack.
If headphones are connected, no sound will be output
from the FP-7’s speakers.

Use the FP-7’s [Volume] knob (p. 20) to adjust
the headphone volume.

Cautions when Using Headphones
• To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors,
avoid rough handling. When using headphones, mainly
try to handle either the plug or the headset.
• Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a
device is already turned up when you plug them in.
Minimize the volume before you plug in the headphones.
• Excessive input will not only damage your hearing, but
may also strain the headphones. Please enjoy music at an
appropriate volume.
• Use headphones that have a stereo 1/4” phone plug.

• You may see vertical lines in the screen, but this is due to
the structure of a liquid crystal display, and does not
indicate a malfunction. By using the [Contrast] knob to
adjust the contrast of the screen, you can minimize these
lines.
• The contrast of the screen may be affected by the
temperature.

Performing with a Variety of Sounds
The FP-7 features over 300 different internal sounds, allowing you to enjoy performing
with sounds suitable for many different types of music.
These onboard sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into seven different
groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.
The Tone “Grand Piano 1” is selected when the instrument’s power is turned on.

Simulating the Way that Sounds are Created on an Organ
(Tone Wheel)
The FP-7 lets you create your own original organ sounds.
Of the Tone buttons, the tones assigned to the [TW Organ] (Tone Wheel Organ) button
simulate the way in which sounds are created on a tonewheel organ.
On a tonewheel organ, you can create original sounds by sliding nine harmonic bars
(drawbars) forward or backward to change their relative balance. Each bar is assigned
a different footage, and this footage determines the pitch of the sound.
8' is the footage that forms the basic pitch of the sound; this is the center around which
you create the tone.
Each harmonic bar is assigned a sine wave (a pure pitch without overtones) of a different
pitch, and by combining these pitches you can create a wide range of sounds.

Time
8' volume: 8

Time
Time
4' volume: 5

You can simulate the creation of tones using the harmonic bars by assigning footages to
the Tone buttons.
The FP-7 provides two screens for this purpose: the “Tonewheel Organ screen” and the
“TW Edit (Tone Wheel Edit) screen.” Graphics indicating the state of the harmonic bars
are shown in these screens.
You can switch between these two screens by holding down the [Display] button and
using the [-] [+] buttons.

What’s the feet?
“Feet” is a term that began as a measurement of the length of the pipes in a pipe organ.
The pipes that produce the basic pitch (fundamental) for each note are considered to be
“8 feet” in length.
Therefore, a pipe producing a pitch one octave below that of the reference of 8' (eight
feet) would be 16'; for one octave above the reference, the pipe would be 4', and to take
the pitch up yet another octave it would be shortened to 2'.
The pitches of the harmonic bars are related as follows.

When the middle C (C4) note is pressed, each
harmonic bar will sound the following notes.

16'

5 1/3'

2 2/3'

1 3/5'

8' =

On tonewheel organs, the high-pitched footage for a portion of the high range, and the
low-pitched footage for a portion of the low range are “folded-back” in units of one
octave.
Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being
unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the low-frequency portion prevents the sound from
becoming “muddy.”
On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)
Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more
crispness. The attack sound changes according to the value.
The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were played. When notes
were played legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion was applied only to the first-played
note. When notes were played staccato (articulating each note separately), percussion was
applied to all notes. This method is referred to as single trigger algorithm, and is a very important
element in organ performance. On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Hold down the [Display] button and press the [-] [+] buttons to select the
type of the percussion.

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard or Song Playback (Transpose)
By using the “Transpose” function you can transpose the keyboard or the key in which the
song plays back. This is convenient when you’re singing along with the song, since you
can shift the playback to a key that’s comfortable for the range of your voice. If you’re
accompanying a singer, you can use the Transpose function to shift the pitch to a key that’s
comfortable for the singer while you continue playing in the same familiar key (fingering).
You can also use this function to transpose the pitch of your playing without changing your
fingering on the keyboard. For example, if the song is in a difficult key with numerous
sharps ( ) or flats ( ), you can transpose to a key that’s easier for you to play.

Performing with Audio Files (Audio Key)
The FP-7 lets you play audio files saved on USB memory (sold separately) while you
perform. This is called the “Audio Key” function.
The Audio Key function lets you assign an audio file to each key B 0–B1, and play those
audio files by pressing the corresponding key. You can assign various phrases to the keys
and play them at the appropriate moments during your performance.
You can also specify that an audio file play repeatedly, or reserve the audio file that
should be played next.
If you turn on the Audio Key function when USB memory containing audio files is not
connected, an audio file built into the FP-7 will be selected.
Here are some ways in which you can enjoy using the Audio Key function.
• By switching audio files between sections such as Intro, Theme, Break, and Ending
as your song progresses, you can freely change the structure of the song while you
perform.
• Assign a different audio song to each key, and use the keyboard to switch songs so
you can perform to the accompaniment of an audio song.

Keyboard

Description

Lid *

Adjusts the degree to which the grand piano’s lid is open.
Closing the lid of the piano shown in the screen will produce a more
mellow tone. Opening the lid will brighten the tone.

Damper Noise *

Adjusts the damper noise of an acoustic piano (the sound of the strings
being released when you press the damper pedal).

Duplex Scale *

Adjusts the sympathetic vibrations produced by the duplex scale of an
acoustic piano.
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.

String
Resonance

Adjusts the string resonance of an acoustic piano (the sound of the
sympathetically vibrating strings for keys that are already held down
when you strike a different key).
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.

Key Off
Resonance

Adjusts the sympathetic vibration produced by the key-off sound of an
acoustic piano (the subtle sound produced when you release a key).
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.

Hammer
Response

This adjusts how your playing strength will affect the timing at which the
note sounds.
On an acoustic piano, pressing a key moves a hammer, which strikes a
string to produce sound. If you press the key softly, the hammer will move
slowly, meaning that it will take slightly longer (in comparison to a
strongly-played note) from the moment you press the key until the sound
is produced.
If the Hammer Response function is turned on, the time between the
moment you press a key until the sound is heard will change depending
on the strength with which you play. As you play more softly, this time
will become longer.

Hammer Noise

Adjusts the sound of the hammer striking the strings of an acoustic piano.
Higher values will produce a louder hammer strike.

Prset (Preset)

Applies the “stretched tuning” system that is distinctive to a piano, in
which the high range is tuned slightly sharper than standard tuning, and
the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select Prset (Preset), the standard preset tuning curve of the FP-7 will
be used.

-50–0–+50

You can adjust the stretch tuning setting as desired.
Play the key whose pitch you want to adjust, then use the [-] [+] buttons
to adjust its pitch.

Stretch
Tuning

* These settings are valid only when the [Multi Effects] button is on (lit) and the effect type is set
to “Damper Resonance.”

Use the [-] [+] button to adjust the setting.
What are Duplex Scale?
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in
grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by
vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By resonating with the overtones,
these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added
only to the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a
mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding even after you play
a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.

Playing Along with Rhythms
What is Session Partner?
“Session Partner” Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel
“Session Partner” is an easy-to-use function that plays rhythm in a variety of musical
styles. Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you the feel
that you are playing live with a band backing you.
For example, you can practice the piano in a different way than usual by playing along
with Session Partner instead of a metronome.
You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are playing.
By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody, you can
easily create 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 You Can Do with “Session Partner”
“Session Partner” lets you mainly do the following things.
• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord progression continues
automatically (p. 67).
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify chords with the left hand
(the left part of the keyboard) (p. 73).
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord progressions (p. 76).

“Session Partner” lets you add accompaniment with the “rhythms” and performance parts
you select.
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.

What are the FP-7’s “Rhythms?”
The FP-7 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other various
musical genres.
“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate the mood or
signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the accompaniment used in
“Session Partner.”
A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.
Drums Part
Bass Part
Accompaniment Part (except drum and bass part)

Saving a recorded song in internal memory
• You can save a recorded song so it will be preserved even while the FP-7’s power is turned
off. The songs you record will be lost if you simply turn off the power. However, once they’re
saved in internal memory, your songs won’t be discarded; the next time you turn the power
on, you’ll be able to play them back and listen to your performance.

Saving a recorded song to USB memory
• You can save a recorded song to USB memory as a backup.
It’s a good idea to save important performance data to USB memory.

Saving favorite songs to internal memory
• You can save songs you’re practicing to internal memory.
If you connect separately sold USB memory or a CD drive, and copy SMF music files from the
USB memory or a CD-ROM into the FP-7’s internal memory, it will be easy to select these
songs.

You can’t copy a Wav file into internal memory.

Tuning Settings
Matching the Pitch with Other
Instruments (Master Tune)
When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other
such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another
instrument.
The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note
that’s played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner
ensemble sound while performing with one or more other
instruments, ensure that each instrument’s standard pitch is in
tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the
instruments to a standard pitch is called “master tune.”

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)
You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using
their original tuning.
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.

Press the [Function] button.

Press the [Piano] button.

Description

Meantone

This scale makes some compromises in
just intonation, enabling transposition to
other keys.

Pythagorean

This tuning, devised by the philosopher
Pythagoras, eliminates dissonance in
fourths and fifths. Dissonance is produced
by third-interval chords, but melodies are
euphonious.

Werckmeister

This temperament combines the Mean
Tone and Pythagorean tunings.
Performances are possible in all keys (first
method, number three).

Specifying the Keynote
The Tuning screen appears.

Temperament

While holding down the [Display] button, use
the [-] [+] buttons to select “Type.”

fig.d-TemperamentType.eps

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you
need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major
key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select
a keynote.

While holding down the [Display] button, use
the [-] [+] buttons to select “Temperament
Key.”

fig.d-Temperament.eps

Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the
temperament setting.
You can choose from among the seven tunings
described below.

Temperament

Equal

Description
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.

Just Major

This tuning eliminates ambiguities in the
fifths and thirds. It is unsuited to playing
melodies and cannot be transposed, but
is capable of beautiful sonorities.

Just Minor

The Just tunings differ from major and
minor keys. You can get the same effect
with the minor scale as with the major
scale.

Kirnberger

This is an improvement of the Meantone
and Just tunings that provides a high
degree of freedom of modulation.
Performances are possible in all keys
(third method).

116

Use the [-] [+] buttons to change the keynote.
Setting

C, C , D, E , E, F, F , G, A , A, B , B

NOTE

When performing in ensemble with other
instruments, be aware that depending on the key,
there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the FP-7
to the fundamental pitch of the other instruments.

Connecting to MIDI Devices
The FP-7 provides MIDI connectors so that performance data
can be transferred between it and other devices. By using
these connectors to connect other devices with the FP-7, you
can take advantage of a wide range of possibilities.

What’s MIDI?
“MIDI” stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” It is a
universal standard that allows performance data to be
exchanged among electronic musical instruments and computers.
The FP-7 contains a General MIDI 2 compatible sound
generator.

General MIDI
The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files
that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI
logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to
produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick
up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced
expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that
were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations,
such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be
handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the
available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant
sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files
that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

Making the Connections
NOTE

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all devices before making any
connections.

NOTE

MIDI cables are not included. Consult your Roland
dealer if you need to purchase.

Turn the volume all the way down on the FP-7
and the device you’re about to connect.

Turn off the power to the FP-7 and the device
being connected.

Connect a MIDI cable (sold separately)
between the MIDI connectors on each device.

Switch on the power to the FP-7 and the
connected device.

Adjust the volume level on the FP-7 and the
connected device.

You should also set the MIDI settings as
needed.
You may need to set things such as the MIDI transmit
channel (p. 148) and the Local on/off setting (p. 149).

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does
not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General
MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

Connecting to MIDI Devices

Using the FP-7 to Play
Another MIDI Sound Module
You can use the FP-7 to play sounds on another connected
MIDI sound generating device (a sound module or instrument
that supports the MIDI specification). This lets you layer sounds
to create a richer performance, or play sounds on an external
sound module that does not have a keyboard.
In order to use this type of connection, you must set the FP-7’s
transmit channel to match the receive channel of your external
MIDI equipment (p. 148).

Connection Example: Connection to a
MIDI Sound Module

Preventing Doubled Notes When
Connected to a Sequencer
(Local Control)
When you have a MIDI sequencer connected, set this
parameter to Local Off.
Since the Thru function of your sequencer will normally be
turned on, notes played on the keyboard or played back by
the recorder will be transmitted to the sound generator by the
two routes (1) and (2) shown in the illustration, causing notes
to be sounded in duplicate or to be cut off unnaturally. To

On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the
top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These
notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. FP-7 faithfully simulate this
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the FP-7, the range that is unaffected by the
damper pedal will change according to the key control setting.

Troubleshooting
Symptom

High-pitched ringing is heard

Cause/Action
If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial highfrequency 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.

Low notes sound wrong, or are
buzzy

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.

If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby
Roland service center.
With certain tones, the sounds may seem to be distorted.
Turn down the volume. Alternatively, lower the master gain setting.

Can’t record / play back
Can’t record

The recorded performance
disappeared

Tempo of recorded song or
metronome is off

Has one of the track buttons for recording been selected?

p. 95
p. 100

Your recorded performance will disappear if you switch off the FP-7’s power or
select a song. There is no way to recover the lost performance. Before you turn off
the power, save your recorded performance in internal memory.

p. 105

If you select an internal song in which the tempo changes during the song, and
then record, the tempo will change in the same way for the performances that are
recorded on the other tracks. The tempo of the metronome will also change in the
same way.

—

If you record additional material without erasing the previously recorded song, the
song will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo. Please erase the previously
recorded song before you re-record.

Music Files That the FP-7 Can Use
What Are Music Files?
Music files contains musical information such as how long the
key for a corresponding pitch is played, the force applied to
the key played, and other such information. Performance data
is transmitted to the FP-7 from music files saved in USB
memory, and played back without change as songs. This is
different than a audio CD, since the music file does not
contain a recording of the sound itself. This makes it possible
to change tempos and keys freely, allowing you to use it in
many different ways.

Regarding Copyright

General MIDI 2

Use of the internal songs and audio files for any purpose other
than private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the
copyright holder is prohibited by law. Additionally, this data
must not be copied, nor used in a secondary copyrighted
work without the permission of the copyright holder.
Please be aware that if you create derivative works that are
based on existing copyrighted material, such as commercially
available SMF music files, such works may violate copyright
law if used for any purpose other than personal enjoyment.
Roland takes no responsibility for any copyright violation you
may commit by creating such works.

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations
pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering
enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater
compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original
General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to
be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been
precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been
expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are
capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either
the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which
does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as
“General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General
MIDI 2.

The FP-7 Allows You To Use the
Following Music Files

GS Format
VIMA TUNES
VIMA TUNES is a Roland specification for music files that
contains image and lyric data, allowing you to enjoy songs
with lyrics and images simultaneously. When data bearing the
“VIMA TUNES” logo is played back on a device that bears
the same logo, lyrics can be shown on the screen of a
connected external display or television, letting you enjoy
karaoke or watch a slide show.
* This instrument (FP-7) is not able to play back VIMA TUNES
images.

SMF Music Files
SMFs (Standard MIDI Files) use a standard format for music
file that was formulated so that files containing music file could
be widely compatible, regardless of the manufacturer of the
listening device. An enormous variety of music is available,
whether it be for listening, for practicing musical instruments,
for Karaoke, etc.

SMF with Lyrics
“SMF with Lyrics” refers to SMF (Standard MIDI File) that
contains the lyrics. When Music Files carrying the “SMF with
Lyrics” logo are played back on the FP-7, the lyrics will appear
in its display.

170

The GS Format is Roland’s set of specifications for
standardizing the performance of sound generating devices.
In addition to including support for everything defined by the
General MIDI, the highly compatible GS Format additionally
offers an expanded number of sounds, provides for the editing
of sounds, and spells out many details for a wide range of
extra features, including effects such as reverb and chorus.
Designed with the future in mind, the GS Format can readily
include new sounds and support new hardware features when
they arrive. Since it is upwardly compatible with the General
MIDI, Roland’s GS Format is capable of reliably playing back
GM Scores equally as well as it performs GS music files (music
files that have been created with the GS Format in mind).

XG lite
XG is a tone generator format of YAMAHA Corporation, that
defines the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects, in addition to the General
MIDI 1 specification. XGlite is a simplified version of XG tone
generation format. You can play back any XG music files
using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that
some music files may play back differently compared to the
original files, due to the reduced set of control parameters and
effects.
