* In order to maintain compatibility with Roland's
ISM products (page $1), three "place holders” (5,
18-24 and 120-128) have been inserted into the
FP-8's program numbers. Note, however, that all of
these numbers are active (le., sending Program
Change number 123 (for example) to the FP-8 will
select piano 1).
The FP-8 actually contains 3 independent sound
sources - all of which contain the same 16 sounds.
There is a sound source for the instrument's key-
board, on-board Recorder and one for incoming
signals from external MIDI devices (see diagram).
Having these three independent sound sources allows
you to do a variety of things. For example, if you
record a piano part into the Recorder and then play it
back, the data in the Recorder uses the piano sound
in the Recorder's sound source. As you will recall, you
can play along with the recorded data using any Tone
you wish. This is possible because the keyboard of
the FP-8 has its own sound source. If the instrument
had only one sound source, you would only be able to
play along with the recording using the sound used in
the original recording.
With this arrangement you could conceivably have all
three sound sources playing at the same time. You
could, for example, have data from an external
sequencer play an electric piano part, while the on-
board Recorder plays an acoustic piano part, while
you play a vibraphone part from the keyboard!
