Introduction

Congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano F-50.

In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time to read through this manual in its entirety.

Main Features

Refined Wood Grain, Compact Design

The simple design and light wood grain finish is at home both in the living room as well as in the children’s room.

And at a compact about 300 millimeters deep, it fits in perfectly with other furniture.

Includes 5 Internal Tone Demo Songs and 60 Piano Songs

The F-50 features five internal songs that demonstrate how the onboard tones can be used effectively, along with sixty classic piano songs you can use for listening.

Authentic Piano Performances

High-quality concert grand piano tones, along with the Hammer Action keyboard, which gives more realistic piano touch by providing a heavier feel in the low end and a lighter feel in the upper notes, let you enjoy truly authentic piano performances. You can also connect a pedal to the F-50 and use it as a soft pedal or damper pedal.

Tones For Use in a Wide Variety of Musical Genres

The F-50 offers twenty different onboard tones, including piano, which can be used for almost every conceivable style of music.

Includes High-Quality Reverb

The Reverb effect can duplicate the ambience of a concert hall.

Keyboard Touch Can Be Set to Match Finger Strength

You can change the keyboard touch so it better suits the

finger strength of the person playing the keyboard.

Practice Features to Help You Develop Your Musicality

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 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night.
