To Playback Your Performance
£Y
1 Press PLAY (the indicator will light) and playback will begin.
When playback is complete the PLAY indicator will go out.
* During playback you can play along with the recording using any Tone
variation you like. With this ability you may wish, for example, to record an
accompaniment part using a string sound, and then play the solo piano part
during playback.
* To stop playback, press PLAY. If you press PLAY again, playback will start
from the beginning of the song.
* To erase the recorded song, press REC and PLAY simultaneously.
* The song recorded in memory will be preserved for approximately 24 hours
after the unit has been turned off. This feature helps to prevent the acciden-
tal loss of recorded material. If you want to save a recorded piece of music
indefinitely, you will need to save it using a MIDI sequencer (see page 24).
Keyboard Touch Control [TOUCH]
The FP-8 allows you to select one of three keyboard touch responses to sult
your personal preference:
[1] Light Since a lighter than normal touch will produce fortissimo
sounds, the keyboard will be more responsive, This lets
children play with a consistent sound.
[2] Standard This setting provides a natural response and most closely
duplicates the feel of an acoustic piano.
[3] Heavy Since only a heavier than normal touch will produce
fortissimo sounds, the keyboard will ‘feel’ heavier. This
allows heavy-handed players a full range of dynamic
expression.

2 Press TOUCH (the indicator will light). The display will read “2” to
