Using the USB Audio Player

You can play back audio files from a USB flash drive 

(sold separately). In advance, use your computer to save the audio 

files that you want to play on the USB flash drive.
By using this function, you can perform while playing back a song.

Getting Ready to Use the FR-4x as an 

Audio Player

1. 

Using your computer, copy the audio song to your 

USB flash drive (sold separately).

NOTE

 

5

Use a commercially available USB flash drive or a USB flash 

drive sold by Roland. However, we cannot guarantee that all 

commercially available USB flash drives will work with this 

unit.

 

5

Never turn off the power or remove the USB flash drives or 

the power cord while the USB flash drive’s access indicator is 

blinking.

2. 

Connect your USB flash drive to the FR-4x’s USB 

MEMORY port.

The FR-4x can play back MP3 files or WAV files.

Note when playing audio files

Performing while playing back MP3 data places a processing 

load on the FR-4x, and may cause problems with the 

keyboard performance.
If this occurs, you might be able to solve the problem by 

using a WAV file instead of MP3 data.

Connect your USB flash drive (sold separately) to the 

FR-4x’s USB MEMORY port.

Press the [SONG LIST] button.

The display shows the contents of the USB flash drive.

you want to play back.
