ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

WARNING

- Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

- Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

- Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.

- This unit should be used only with a rack or stand that is recommended by Roland (p. 9).

WARNING

- When using the unit with a rack or stand recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

- Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

- Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.

- Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

WARNING

- This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

- Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page when:

• The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

- In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

- Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

- Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

- Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

- DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may result.

CAUTION

- The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

- This (FP-2) for use only with Roland stand FPS-11A. Use with other stands is capable of resulting in instability causing possible injury.

- Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

- Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

- Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

- Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- If you need to move the instrument, take note of the precautions listed below. At least two persons are required to safely lift and move the unit. It should be handled carefully, all the while keeping it level. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

• Check to make sure the screws securing the unit to the stand have not become loose. Fasten them again securely whenever you notice any loosening.
• Disconnect the power cord.
• Disconnect all cords coming from external devices.
• Remove the music stand.

- Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet (p. 8).

- Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Should you remove screws for the stand or the music stand, make sure to put them in a safe place out of children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

Maintenance

- For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth. - Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while it is in use.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

- Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Handling CD-ROMs

- Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

1. Connect the supplied Power Cord to the supplied AC adaptor.

AC adaptor Power cord Power outlet

1. Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the FP-2, and then plug its other end into a power outlet.
2. Loop the AC adaptor cord around the cord hook to fasten it in place.

Rear Panel ground terminal Power DC In cord hook

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Installing the Music Stand

Connecting Pedals

1. Connect the pedal included with the FP-2 to one of the Pedal jacks.

When connected to the Damper jack, the pedal can be used as a damper pedal.

When connected to Sostenuto(FC1) jack, the pedal can be used as a sostenuto pedal. In addition, it can be set to function as an another works (p. 39, p. 48).

When connected to Soft(FC2) jack, the pedal can be used as a soft pedal. In addition, it can be set to function as an another works (p. 39, p. 48).

Pedal Damper Sostenuto Soft (FC 1) (FC 2)

* Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on may cause the pedal's effect to be applied without stopping. The power of the FP-2 must be turned off before inserting or removing a pedal cord.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations continue to be added to the sound after you release from the keys.

The pedal included with the FP-2 functions as a half-damper pedal, which allows you to adjust the amount of resonance. When you depress the damper pedal on an acoustic piano, the sound from the strings that were struck resonates with other strings, adding rich reverberations and broadness to the sound. You can adjust this resonance (sympathetic resonance) when the damper pedal is depressed.

* Set the switch on the included pedal to “Continuous” when the pedal is connected.

Sostenuto Pedal

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal.

→ With the pedal connected to the Sostenuto(FC1) jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup (Pedal shift)” (p. 48).

Soft Pedal

This pedal is used to make the sound softer.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.

→ With the pedal connected to the Soft(FC2) jack, it can be assigned other functions as well. Refer to “Changing How the Pedals Work” (p. 39), “Using the Pedal to Switch Setup (Pedal shift)” (p. 48).

→ By obtaining a second and third pedal, you can then use three pedals simultaneously. If you wish to purchase the optional pedal (DP series), please contact the dealer where you purchased the FP-2.

Turning the Power On and Off

Performing With Different Tones in the Left and Right Sides of the Keyboard (Split Play)

Performing with the keyboard divided at a certain key into a left side and a right side is called “Split Play,” and the point at which the keyboard is divided is called the “split point.”

In Split Play, you can have a different tone sound in the left and right sides.

When the instrument is turned on, the split point is set to "F # 3." The split point key is included in the left side.

While in Split Play, a sound played in the right side is called an “Upper Tone,” and the sound played in the left side is called a “Lower Tone.”

Example: Let's try split play with the piano tones.

You can specify which part is to have priority when the effects assigned to the Upper Tone and Lower Tone differ. Refer to "Setting the Part to Which Effects Are Added" (p. 41).

Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms

What is Session Partner?

"Session Partner" Lets You Enjoy Playing with a Session-Like Feel

"Session Partner" is an easy-to-use function that plays accompaniment in a variety of musical styles.

Playing along with this accompaniment, with its realistic sounds, gives you the feel that you are playing live with a band backing you.

For example, playing with “Session Partner” instead of using the metronome always lets you practice the piano with something different.

You can also change the accompaniment as you like to suit whatever you are playing.

By changing the chords and Rhythms, even while playing the same melody, you can easily create all kinds of new arrangements.

We encourage you to enjoy the variety of performance options open to you by using the “Session Partner” feature.

What You Can Do With "Session Partner"

"Session Partner" lets you mainly do the following things.

• Play piano with a session-like feel along with Rhythms while the chord progression continues automatically (p. 28).
• Play the piano to provide your own accompaniment as you specify chords with the left hand (the left part of the keyboard) (p. 31).
• Enjoy freer piano performances using your own original chord progressions (p. 32).

"Session Partner" lets you add accompaniment with the "rhythms" and performance parts you select.

You can play intros, endings, and fill-ins (short phrases inserted at transition points in the song) by pressing buttons as you play the keyboard.

What are the FP-2's "Rhythms?"

The FP-2 features internal “Rhythms” complementing Pops, Jazz, and other various musical genres.

“Rhythms,” or combinations of elements from a musical genre that recreate the mood or signature sound of a particular style, form the foundation of the accompaniment used in “Session Partner.”

A “Rhythm” is composed from the following three items.

• Drum Part
• Bass Part
• Chord Part

You can select the part to be played with the [Part] button.

Tuning to Other Instruments' Pitches (Master Tuning)

When playing ensemble with other instruments and in other such instances, you can match the standard pitch to another instrument.

The standard pitch generally refers to the pitch of the note that's played when you finger the middle A key. For a cleaner ensemble sound while performing with one or more other instruments, ensure that each instrument's basic pitch is in tune with that of the other instruments. This tuning of all the instruments to a standard pitch is called "master tuning."

When the instrument is turned on, the standard pitch is set to "440.0 Hz."

1. Switch to Function mode (p. 38), and press the [Piano] button.

Tone Piano E.Piano Organ Guitar/ Bass Strings/ Pad Voice/ GM2 40.0

To return to the original pitch, press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously.

Adjusting the Tuning (Temperament)

You can play classical music such as baroque pieces using their original tuning.

Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption that equal temperament (the most common tuning in use today) will be used, but when classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally intended.

About the FP-2 Sound Generator

The FP-2 come equipped with GM2 sound generators.

General MIDI

The General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meets the General MIDI standard bears the General MIDI logo. Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as "General MIDI 1" as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.

Connecting to the USB Connector

You can use a USB connector to connect the FP-2 to your computer. For more details, refer to the separate "USB Installation Guide."

* Connecting your computer to the FP-2 for the first time requires installation of the "USB Driver" (on the included CD-ROM) to the computer. For more details, refer to the separate "USB Installation Guide."
* Only MIDI data can be transmitted using USB.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
* USB cables are not included. Consult your Roland dealer if you need to purchase.
* Turn on the power to the FP-2 before starting up MIDI applications on the computer. Do not turn the FP-2 on or off while any MIDI application is running.
* Do not connect or disconnect the USB cable while the FP-2's power is on.
* If not using USB, disconnect the USB cable from the FP-2.
* If, during the transmission/reception of data, the computer switches to energy-saving mode or suspended mode, or if the FP-2's power is switched on or off, the computer may freeze, or the FP-2's operation may become unstable.
* When using your computer's sequencer software to record FP-2 performances, we recommend setting the sequencer software's Soft Thru to "OFF," or setting MIDI Out mode (p. 51) to "4."

Connecting MIDI Devices

About MIDI

MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface,” and is a worldwide standard for the exchange of performance data (MIDI messages) and other information among electronic instruments and computers.

The FP-2 features a MIDI connector and a computer connector to allow performance information to be exchanged with external devices. Connecting the keyboard to other devices with these connectors provides you with an even greater variety of ways to use your keyboard.

* A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is also available. It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland distributor.
* MIDI cables are not included. Consult your Roland dealer if you need to purchase.

What is a Sequencer?

A sequencer is a device that records the stream of MIDI messages that is sent out by an instrument. These messages convey all the details of what has occurred while the instrument is played; including the timing of notes, their sound, the force used to play them, and for how long. Afterwards, you can send the recorded MIDI information back to the instrument, and it will play automatically.

What is a MIDI Sound Module?

Inside a synthesizer or electronic piano is the section that actually produces sound, known as the sound module. A MIDI sound module produces sounds as the result of MIDI messages sent to it by other devices.

■ MIDI Settings

MIDI Send Channel Settings

Select the transmission channel of FP-2.

MIDI features sixteen MIDI channels, numbered 1–16.

Simply connecting a cable is not enough for communication to take place. The connected devices must be set to use the same MIDI channels. Otherwise, no sound will be produced, and no sounds can be selected.

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to Channel "1." The FP-2 receives messages on all channels, 1–16.

* When the keyboard is in dual play, the channel you've set here is transmitted.
* When the keyboard is split into left and right sides, the transmission channel for messages from the left-hand side is fixed at "3."

1. Switch to Function mode(p. 38), and press the [Rec] button.

2. Hold down the [Rec] button, and press the [-] or [+] button so "Ch" is displayed.

Press

While holding down...

1. Press the [-] or [+] button to select the transmission channel.

Select the transmission channel (1–16) of the FP-2.

Switching Local Control On and Off

When connecting a MIDI sequencer, set Local Control to "Off."

When the instrument is turned on, this is set to "On."

As illustrated, information describing what has been played on the keyboard is passed to the internal sound generator over two different routes, (1) and (2). As a result, you hear overlapping or intermittent sounds. To prevent this from happening, route (1) must be severed, by setting the unit to what is known as “Local Off.”

Troubleshooting

Case	Cause/What to do
No Power	Is the power cord properly connected? (p. 8)
No Sound	Is the volume level of the FP-2 (p. 10) or connected device turned all the way down?
	Are headphones plugged in? Has a plug remained connected to the Phones jack? (p. 10)
	Is the Speaker switch to “ON”? (p. 7)
	Is Local Off selected? When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to “ON”(p. 47).
	Is the MIDI Out mode set to “4”? (p. 48)
No Sound (With a MIDI Device Connected)	Is the power to all devices turned on? (p. 44)
	Is the MIDI cable connected and plugged in correctly? (p. 46)
	Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 47)
No Sound From the Left Side	Is the [Chord Progression] button's indicator off? (p. 31) No sound from the left side is produced if the [Chord Progression] button's indicator is off while the Session Partner is playing.
	Is V-LINK switched on (p. 49)? When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard are used to control images, and no sounds are played with these keys.
The Volume of the Keyboard is Too Low	Is the volume balance turned all the way down? (p. 18)
Two Sounds are Produced When the Keyboard is Played	Is the FP-2 in Dual Play? (p. 15)
	When the FP-2 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 47). Alternatively, set SOFT THRU on the sequencer to “OFF.”
Not All Sounds Are Played	The FP-2 has a maximum polyphony of 64 voices. When playing together with a song or Rhythm along with heavy use of the damper pedal, the performance data may exceed the number of available voices, and as a result, some notes or sounds played on the keyboard may not sound.

Case	Cause/What to do
The accompaniment sounds when the keys are played	Is the [Chord Progression] button's indicator off? (p. 31)When the [Chord Progression] button's indicator is off, the Session Partner begins if you finger a keyboard.
The Keyboard or Song Register or Pitch is Off	Have you set Transpose? (p. 24)
	Are the settings for the Temperament (p. 42) correct?
	Is the setting for Master Tuning correct? (p. 41)
Song Doesn't Play Back	Does “dEL” appear in the display? (p. 13)The internal songs cannot be played back while recorded performance data remains in the FP-2's memory. Try playing back the song after deleting the performance data.
Only the Sound of a Particular Instrument in a Song Does Not Play	Is Track Mute on? (p. 13)If the button's light is out when you hold down the [Play/Stop] button, the music on that track is not heard. Press the track button so the light is illuminated.
Cannot Record	Have you selected which of the Track Buttons to be recorded? (p. 36)
Tempo of Recorded Song or Metronome is Off	When you select for recording an internal song that features tempo changes, the tempos of Performances recorded on other tracks are altered along with these changes. In addition, the Metronome tempo is also changed the same way.
Recorded Performance is Erased	Performances that have been recorded are erased when the power for the FP-2 is turned off. Once erased, Performances cannot be recovered.
The [Split] button's lindicator won't go out	Is the [Chord Progression] button's indicator off? (p. 31)
Effects Not Applied	When the part to which the effects are applied is assigned to the Lower Tone, the effects are then not applied to the Upper Tone (p. 41).
Reverb Remains Even After Reverb is Lifted	As the FP-2 piano sounds faithfully reproduce the depth and reverberation of actual acoustic pianos, reverberation may still be audible even after the reverb effect is removed from sounds.
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 SoundsAre Strange/Havea 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.
