Performing with a Variety of Sounds

The FP-3 features 40 different internal sounds, allowing you to enjoy performing with sounds suitable for many different types of music.

These onboard sounds are called “Tones.” The Tones are divided into six different groups, each of which is assigned to a different Tone button.

The Tone “Grand Piano 1” is selected when the instrument’s power is turned on.

For more on Tones, refer to
