Roland FP-8 User Manual

Thank you and congratulations on your choice of the Roland FP-8 Digital Piano.
As
a
further
refinement
of
the
SA
technology
found
in
previous
Roland
instruments,
the
FP-8
is
based
on
an
Advanced
SA
sound
process
which
accurately
reproduces
the
complex
waveforms
of
a
concert
grand
piano
and
other
acoustic
instruments.
The
performance
of
the
FP-8
is
further
enhanced
by
a
newly
developed
keyboard
which
closely
duplicates
the
feel
of
an acoustic
piano.
To
take
full
advantage
of
the
features
and
capabilities
of
the
FP-8,
please
read
this
manual
in
its
entirety.
Advanced SA Sound Process
Accurate
reproduction
of
acoustic
piano
sounds
is
not
an
easy
task,
but
Roland
Digital
Pianos
reproduce
the
dynamic
range
and
complex
sonorities
of
a concert grand
piano
with
amazing
precision.
The
secret
is
“Advanced
SA
(Structured
Adaptive)
Synthesis”.
In
SA
synthesis
-
a
Roland
innovation
-
the
sonic
elements
of
a
grand
piano
are
isolated,
analyzed
and
re-synthesized
to
re-create
the
original
sound.
Advanced
SA
technology
is
a
further
refinement
of
this
process,
using
Roland's
proprietary
digital
signal
processing
and
sound
generation
technology
to
achieve
amazingly
realistic
piano
sounds.
