Troubleshooting
Pedal Has No
Effect, or Effect
“Sticks”
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Connect the pedal securely to the Pedal
jack (p. 9).
Are you using a pedal made by another
manufacturer? Use the pedal included
with the FP-2 or an optional DP Series or
similar pedal.
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit
while the power is on may cause the
pedal’s effect to be applied nonstop.
Be sure to switch off the power to the unit
before attempting to disconnect or connect
a pedal cord (p. 9).
Once it’s been assigned as a setup switch, a
soft pedal or sostenuto pedal cannot be
used for its original function (p. 48).
Sound Suddenly
Changes at Key in
Upper Octaves
With the acoustic piano settings, sounds in
the upper 1 1/2-octave range are extended
to the end regardless of the damper pedal
actions. The tone is also different in this
range. Roland’s pianos faithfully
reproduce the sonic qualities of acoustic
pianos. Furthermore, you can use the
instrument’s Key Transpose setting to
change that range over which the damper
pedal has no effect.
High-Pitched
Whine is Produced
When listening through headphones:
Certain piano tones that feature
vibrant, sparking sounds contain a
large high-frequency component,
which may make it appear that a
metallic reverberation has been
applied. This faithfully reproduces the
characteristics of acoustic pianos, and
does not indicate any malfunction.
Since this reverberation becomes
particularly audible when
supplemented by heavy reverb, you
may be able to diminish the problem by
reducing the amount of reverb applied
to the sound.
When listening through speakers:
Here, a different cause (such as
resonance produced by the FP-2) would
be suspect. Consult your Roland dealer
or nearest Roland Service Center.
Case Cause/What to do
Low End Sounds
Are Strange/Have
a Rattling Sound
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause
instruments near the FP-2 to resonate.
Resonation can also occur with
fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and
other objects. In particular, this problem
occurs more easily when the bass
component is increased, and when the
sound is played at higher volumes. Use
the following measures to suppress
such resonance.
- Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm
from walls and other surfaces.
- Reduce the volume.
- Move the speakers away from any
resonating objects.
- Check to make sure that the screws
holding the music stand in place are
not loose.
When listening through headphones:
The cause lies somewhere else. Consult
your Roland dealer or nearest Roland
Service Center.
With certain tones, the sounds may seem
to be distorted.
The volume level
of the instrument
connected to Line
In Jack is too low
Could you be using a connection cable that
contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not
contain a resistor.
