Roland F-50 User manual

A stylish and compact first piano
for the modern home
The F-50 Digital Piano brings together stylish looks, professional sound and
the realistic touch only possible with Roland’s Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard.
Its rich, dynamic sound and natural touch create the feel of a full concert grand piano,
while its compact body and host of fun and easy-to-use features make it
the ideal first piano for any modern home.

With its streamlined appearance and light wood grain finish, the F-50 Digital Piano is a statement
in style. Its simple, compact design with gentle cherry wood and pearl white finish is an elegant
addition to any interior. And its sleek body and compact size make it ideal for any room in your
home—living room, bedroom, or den. Plus the clear acrylic music stand perfectly complements
the F-50’s smooth lines and form.
The F-50 faithfully simulates the natural feel
and playing performance of an acoustic
grand piano. Built with Roland’s acclaimed
Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard,
it delivers a remarkably realistic touch. It is
dynamically weighted with a lighter touch in
the upper range and a heavier touch in the
lower range. It also has a realistic touch
resistance that provides a lighter response on
pianissimo passages and a heavier response
on fortissimo passages. The 88 full-sized
keys even feature an adjustable key touch
that can be tailored to suit your personal
finger strength.
The F-50 offers features that make learning
to play the piano more fun and effective.
Its 65 internal songs include many classical
favorites that are a pleasure to listen to.
There are also five special songs designed to
familiarize you with specific instrument tones,
such as piano, harpsichord and organ.
The built-in Song Recorder is a great way to
check your progress. You can record one
hand and then focus on practicing the other
while it plays back. The F-50 is an ideal “first
piano” for children or adults.
Roland incorporated its latest stereo-sampled
piano and instrument sounds into the F-50,
for more realism and expressiveness. You can
choose from 20 quality preset instrument
sounds covering a variety of acoustic and
electric pianos, plus organ, strings and more.
Sounds can be layered on top of each other
in Dual mode, or you can select among
several “Split” tones to play a different sound
with each hand, such as bass on the left
hand and Piano or E. Piano on the right.
