With the new Roland FP-4F digital piano, you get the best of two worlds - great piano touch and sound. Roland has updated the FP4 to include their popular SuperNATURAL Piano engine and the Ivory Feel-G Keyboard with Escapement. Adding to its versatility is the built-in 12 watt stereo speaker system, just plug it in and start performing; no need to add an external PA or amp.
The design of the FP-4F is very attractive, allowing it to blend into most environments, and requires minimum floor space. The included DP-10 Damper Pedal offers continuous-pedaling capability, while the optional RPU-3 Triple-Pedal Unit affords a fully authentic grand piano playing experience. The FP-4F is one more representative of Roland's commitment to musical creativity and technology.
With a body that’s only 12-1/16 inches deep and a weight of only 37 lbs, the FP-4F is very convenient to transport, and it’s available in two classic finishes: white or black. At home or onstage, the FP-4F is friendly to operate with its high-visibility LCD, which provides a clear view of tones, song names, and parameters. You can place the FP-4F on any flat surface, or add a matching KSC-44 stand (optional) for a realistic piano look and feel. For performers who desire the utmost in portability, the collapsible KS-18Z stand is an ideal match.
Featuring Roland’s acclaimed Progressive Hammer Action design with Escapement, the FP-4F’s Ivory Feel-G keyboard inherits the functions, appearance, and texture of keyboards found on our flagship pianos. Thanks to the combination of the latest sensor technologies and the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, the FP-4F offers expressivity and performance that rivals that of high-end pianos.
The FP-4F’s SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine combines our award-winning V-Piano technology with an exceptional 88-key stereo multisampling core. By extensively analyzing the characteristics of world-class concert pianos, we have faithfully replicated the unmatched tone color and expressiveness of a fine acoustic grand piano. SuperNATURAL Piano delivers the ultimate playing experience, with seamless tone variation according to touch, smooth and natural tone decay with no “looping,” and maximum expressivity in each individual key.
Though the FP-4F’s newly designed speakers are compact in size, they deliver a rich and dynamic sound that’s perfect for intimate performances anywhere. At home and in smaller venues, you can simply plug in and play without having to carry a separate amplifier or set up a PA system.
With its support for USB flash memory, the FP-4F lets you conveniently store your recorded performances and keyboard settings. You can also download SMF and WAV files from your computer and play them via a USB memory key from the FP-4F, or connect a USB CD drive (Roland’s CD-01A; sold separately) to blend your favorite audio CDs you’re your keyboard performance; both are great ways to add backing tracks to a live performance or to learn to play along with pre-recorded songs. Additionally, you can employ the Center Cancel feature to minimize pre-recorded vocals or lead instruments for play-and sing-along fun, and use the Tempo Change feature to speed up or slow down a song without changing the pitch.
The FP-4F’s Session Partner provides rhythm and accompaniment patterns created by professional musicians, letting you play along with an onboard dynamic backing band! You can even have the FP-4F play chord changes and ad-libs, or add complete accompaniment to a sing-along piece during a live performance. You’ll enjoy exploring the diverse range of built-in rhythm patterns, which are great song starters, as well as musical metronomes for improving your sense of timing.
