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.
