Maintenance

The

Wooden

Parts

(Both

Ends

of

This

Unit)

To

clean

the

unit,

use

a

dry,

soft

cloth.

Try

to

wipe

the

entire

surface

using

an

equal

amount

of

strength,

moving

the

cloth

along

with

the

grain

of

the

wood.

Rubbing

too

hard

in

the

same

area

can

damage

the

finish.

The

Other

Parts

For

everyday

cleaning

wipe

the

unit

witha

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.

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

excessive

force

to

the

front

or

back

of

the

installed

music

stand.

Use

only

the

specified

expression

pedal

(EV-5;

sold

separately).

By

connecting

any

other

expression

pedals,

you

risk

causing

malfunction

INTRODUCTION

Features

Authentic

Piano

Performances

The

high-quality

concert-piano

sounds

and

authentic

hammer-action

keyboard

let

you

enjoy

piano

performances

that

are

even

more

realistic.

24

Types

of

Tones

You

Can

Use

in

a

Wide

Range

of

Genres

In

addition

to

piano

tones,

the

FP-9

offers

24

types

of

high-

quality

built-in

tones

that

you

can

use

in

a

wide

range

of

musical

genres.

A

Richly

Expressive

Hammer-action

Keyboard

Thanks

to

a

mechanism

that

uses

only

the

mass

of

the

hammers

to

return

the

keys,

you

can

obtain

a

natural,

smooth,

and

delicate

touch

for

pianissimo

playing,

and

a

strong,

sure

response

with

fortissimo

play.

Keyboard

Touch

Can

Be

Set

to

Match

Finger

Strength

You

can

set

the

keyboard

touch

to

any

of

three

levels

to

suit

the

finger

strength

of

the

player.

Onboard

Effects

Two

digital

effects—Chorus

and

Reverb—are

built

in.

The

FP-9

also

has

an

on-board

effect

for

piano

tones

that

makes

the

sound

of

the

played

key

resonate

with

other

strings,

adding

rich

reverberations

and

broadness

to

the

sound

(sympathetic

resonance).

Dual

Feature

for

Combining

Two

Tones

You

can

freely

combine

two

tones

from

any

of

eight

Tone

groups,

achieving

layered

play.

Playing

Different

Tones

with

the

Left

and

Right

Hands

with

the

Split

Feature

You

can

divide

the

keyboard

at

a

particular

key

into

right-

and

left-hand

sections

that

play

different

tones.

Lightweight

and

Compact,

with

a

Casual,

Modern

Design

The

FP-9’s

light

weight

and

compact

size

make

for

excellent

portability.

The

casual,

modern

design

also

matches

the

decor

of

any

room.

Small

Number

of

Buttons

Keeps

Operation

Simple

—

As

far

as

possible,

buttons

that

aren't

for

tone

selection

have

been

eliminated,

thus

achieving

simple

operation.

Built-in

Speakers

Not

only

can

you

enjoy

the

rich

sounds

of

the

FP-9

right

away,

this

useful

feature

allows

you

to

play

live

at

parties

and

small

venues,

or

to

use

the

FP-9

as

an

on-stage

monitor.

Connect

Audio

Equipment,

MIDI

Instruments,

and

Computers

The

FP-9

comes

with

Line

In

and

Line

Out

jacks,

MIDI

connectors,

and

computer

ports

that

let

you

use

it

in

combi-

nation

with

other

audio

devices,

electronic

instruments,

and

computers.

|

The

works

as

so

you

can

add

notes.

While

be

added

to

the

sound

after

you

release

Soft

|

The

works

as

a

soft

pedal,

so

you

can

make

notes

_

softer.

Playing

the

keyboard

while

the

pedal

is

makes

the

sounded

notes

softer

than

when

|

you

finger

them

with

the

same

velocity

in

the

normal

|

manner,

without

the

pedal.

You

can

also

use

Soft

as

a

sostenuto

or

expression

MEMO

pedal.

Take

a

look

at

“Changing

How

the

Pedals

Work”

(p.

20).

When

you

connect

pedals

to

both

the

Damper

and

MEMO

Soft

pedal

jacks,

you

can use

the

two

functions

at

the

same

time.

To

do

this,

you

need

to

purchase

another

pedal

(DP-6).

Unplugging

a

pedal

cord

from

the

unit

while

the

Nort

power

is

on

may

cause

the

pedal’s

effect

to

be

applied

without

stopping.

Be

sure

to

switch

off

the

power

to

the

unit

before

attempting

to

disconnect

or

connect

a

pedal

cord.

The

unit’s

speakers

will

go

silent

when

you

plug

in

headphones

(RH-20/80/120

or

the

like;

sold

separately).

This

makes

it

conve-

nient

for

Both

The

In

this

way,

pressing

two

Tone

buttons

at

time

plays

the

two

tones

in

combination.

In

dual

play,

the

tone

of

button

you

press

is

called

the

“upper

tone,”

and

the

tone

of

the

left

button

is

called

the

“lower

tone.”

In

this

example,

the

strings

sound

is

the

upper

and

the

piano

sound

is

the

lower

tone.

Press

either

one

of

the

Tone

buttons

to

cancel

dual

Now

only

the

tone

of

the

button

you

just

is

sounded.

You

can

swap

the

upper

tone

and

lower

tone.

Example:

Change

the

piano

sound

to

the

upper

tone,

and

the

strings

sound

to

the

lower

tone.

During

dual

play

with

the

piano

and

strings

sounds,

simulta-

neously

press

the

[Pianol]

and

[Strings]

buttons

a

second

time.

The

piano

sound

becomes

the

upper

tone,

and

the

strings

sound

becomes

the

lower

tone.

Each

time

you

press

the

[Pianol]

and

[Strings]

buttons

at

the

same

time,

the

upper

tone

and

lower

tone

are

swapped.

You

can

vary

of

the

two

MEMO

tones.

Take

a

look

at

“Changing

the

(p.

19).

You

can

change

the

by

MEMO

octaves.

Check

out

“Setting

Pitch

(p.

During

dual

play,

depressing

a

applies

its

effect

only

to

the

upper

tone.

If

you

want

to

apply

the

to

as

well,

check

Playing

Different

Tones

with

the

Right

and

Left

Keyboard

Sections—Split

Play

You

can

divide

the

keyboard

into

right-

and

left-hand

sections

with

an

arbitrary

key

marking

the

division,

and

play

different

tones

with

each

hand.

This

kind

of

play

with

the

keyboard

divided

into

right-

and

left-hand

sections

is

called

“split

play,”

and

the

location

where

the

division

is

made

is

called

the

“split

point.”

When

you

switch

on

the

power,

the

split

point

is

at

“C4.”

The

split-point

key

belongs

to

the

right-hand

section.

The

notes

you

play

with

the

right-hand

section

are

called

“upper

tones,”

and

the

notes

you

play

with

the

left-hand

section

are

called

“lower
