Performing with Various Sounds
In addition to piano sounds, the FP-50 lets you enjoy performing
with many other sounds (372 different tones).
These sounds are called “Tones.” The tones are organized into four
groups, and each group is assigned to a TONE button.
Switching Tones
Let’s start by performing with a piano tone.
1.
Press the [PIANO] button to select the tone group .
The currently selected tone number and tone name are displayed.
Tone groups
Button Explanation
[PIANO] button

including grand pianos, or harpsichords.
[E . PIANO] button
Allows you to select various electric piano sounds
used in pop or rock, as well as the sound of
instruments played using mallets.
[STRINGS] button
Allows you to select the sounds of string instru-
ments such as violins, as well as other instruments
used in orchestras, which are appropriate when
used for Dual Play with a piano sound.
[OTHER] button
This button selects organ, vocal, brass, and GM2
tones.
If you’ve selected a tone to which the rotary effect
is applied, pressing the [OTHER] button will switch
the speed of the rotary effect.

you can adjust the speed of the modulation by holding down
the current TONE button and pressing the [ ] [ ] (SLOW/FAST)
