Introduction
Full-fledged Piano Performance
The FP-7F features the SuperNATURAL piano sound generator and the PHA III Ivory Feel-S keyboard.
You’ll enjoy full-fledged piano performances with richly expressive piano sounds and a keyboard that allows you to express every nuance of your
musical inspiration.
Functions for Even More Playing Enjoyment

Looper (p. 60)
This lets you layer your performance with a looper rhythm, and play it back repeatedly.
The recorded phrases can also be saved in USB memory (sold separately) and used with the Audio Key function.
Session Partner (p. 44)

This provides a realistic-sounding accompaniment for your performance, letting you enjoy the sensation of playing a session with a backing band.
Microphone (p. 76)

By connecting a microphone (sold separately), you’ll be able to easily add harmony using the Looper or Session Partner function.
Audio Key (p. 31)

Allows you to play back audio files that you’ve saved on USB memory (sold separately) while you perform.
You can also switch between audio files at the desired timing.
Registrations (p. 49)

Favorite settings, such as your choice of sounds and Session Partner settings, can be saved as a “registration” and easily recalled.

On an acoustic piano, pressing the damper pedal allows other strings
to resonate sympathetically with the notes you play, producing a rich
and spacious resonance. The FP-7F simulates this natural damper
resonance.

Piano Designer Settings

Parameter Value Explanation
Adjusts the extent to which the lid of the grand piano is open.
Lid 0–6 Lower values produce a softer sound.
Higher values produce a brighter sound.
This adjusts the damper resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibration
Damper Resonance Off, 1–10 produced in strings other than those actually played when you press the damper pedal).
Higher settings will make the sympathetic vibration louder.
This adjusts the sound produced when the hammer of an acoustic piano strikes the string.
Hammer Noise -2–0–2
Higher settings will produce a louder sound of the hammer striking the string.
This adjusts the time from when you play a key until the piano sound is heard.
Hammer Response Off, 1–10
Higher settings will produce slower response.
This adjusts the sympathetic vibrations of an acoustic piano’s Duplex Scale.
Duplex Scale Off, 1–10
This adjusts the string resonance of the acoustic piano sound (the sympathetic vibrations of
String Resonance Off, 1–10 strings for previously played notes that occur when you play another note).
This adjusts sympathetic vibrations such as an acoustic piano’s key-off sound (the subtle sound
Key Off Resonance Off, 1–10 that occurs when you release a note).
Adjusts the body resonance of the grand piano itself.
Cabinet Resonance Off, 1–10
Higher values will produce a larger body resonance.
This adjusts the damper noise of the acoustic piano sound (the sound of the damper releasing
Damper Noise Off, 1–10 the strings when you press the damper pedal).
* If Damper Resonance is turned “Off,” damper noise will not be heard.
This lets you specify the amount of “stretch tuning,” a tuning method specifically for pianos, in
which the high range is tuned slightly sharper, and the low range is tuned slightly flatter.
If you select “Preset,” a standard tuning curve created for the FP-7F will be used.
If you select “User,” you’ll be able to edit the stretched tuning yourself. Play the key whose pitch
you want to adjust, then use the [-] or [+] buttons to adjust its pitch.
Off, Preset,
Stretch Tuning
User (User: -50–0–+50)
What is the Duplex Scale?

The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating strings sometimes included in grand pianos.
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in sympathy with the vibrations of other
strings. By resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are added only to
the high register above approximately C4. Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that stops them from sounding), they will continue
sounding even after you play a note and then release it to stop the sound of the string that was actually struck.

Simulating the Way that Sounds are Created on an Organ (Tone Wheel)
On the FP-7F, you can use the [ORGAN] button to select one of the “TW-Organ 1–6” tones to play tones that simulate the way in which sound is
produced by an organ.
On a tone wheel organ, you can create original sounds by sliding nine harmonic bars (drawbars) forward or backward to change their relative balance.
Each bar is assigned a different footage, and this footage determines the pitch of the sound. 8’ is the footage that forms the basic pitch of the sound;
this is the center around which you create the tone.
By assigning the footage to the TONE buttons, you can simulate the way in which these harmonic bars are used to create the sound.
What’s the feet?

“Feet” is a term that began as a measurement of the length of the pipes in a pipe organ.
The pipes that produce the basic pitch (fundamental) for each note are considered to be “8 feet” in length.
Therefore, a pipe producing a pitch one octave below that of the reference of 8’ (eight feet) would be 16’; for one octave above the reference, the
pipe would be 4’, and to take the pitch up yet another octave it would be shortened to 2’.
The pitches of the harmonic bars are related as follows.
When the middle C (C4) note is pressed,
each harmonic bar will sound the following notes.
one octave 5th root 8th 12th 15th 17th 19th 22nd
below
8’ =
On tone wheel organs, the high-pitched footage for a portion of the high range, and the low-pitched footage for a portion of the low range are
“folded-back” in units of one octave.
Folding back the high-frequency portion prevents the high-frequency sounds from being unpleasantly shrill, and folding back the low-
frequency portion prevents the sound from becoming “muddy.”
On the FP-7F faithfully simulates this characteristic.

Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)

Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more crispness.
The attack sound changes according to the value.
The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were played.
When notes were played legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion was applied only to the first-played note. When notes were played staccato
(articulating each note separately), percussion was applied to all notes. This method is referred to as single trigger algorithm, and is a very important
element in organ performance. On the FP-7F faithfully simulates this characteristic.

of up to eight measures can be recorded. Recording will stop automatically when you exceed the currently specified number of measures.
A maximum of sixteen chords can be stored.
If you want to change the number of measures for the chord progression to be recorded, refer to “Changing the Number of Measures for Recording
a Chord Progression” (p. 48).
• If desired, you can keep the chord progression pattern from changing even when you switch rhythms. Refer to “Fixing the Chord Progression Pattern
(Chord Prog. Fix)” (p. 68).
• Your original chord progression pattern will not play correctly if you play it using a time signature that’s different from when you recorded it.
• Your original chord progression patterns can be saved in a Registration (p. 49).
* The chord progression you record will be lost when you turn off the power. If you want to keep it, save it in a Registration (p. 50).
Switching Chord Progression Patterns while You Perform

If you switch registrations while Session Partner is playing, the chord progression pattern will also change. By switching chord progression patterns,
you can easily perform with accompaniment for an entire song.
For example, store the chord progression pattern for melody “A” in registration 1-1, and store the chord progression pattern for melody “B” in
registration 1-2. Then, while Session Partner plays, switch the registration from 1-1 to 1-2 at the right moment. The chord progression used by Session
Partner will switch from the melody “A” pattern to the melody “B” pattern.

Recording a Layered Performance (Looper)
What is the Looper?

The FP-7F offers a feature that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and overdub other sound onto it (such as vocals sung into a microphone).
The resulting recordings can be played back repeatedly. This is called the “Looper” function.
For example, you could start by recording an accompaniment that uses a strings sound. Next, you could record the melody using a piano sound,
adding it to the music you previously recorded. And, just like that, you’ve created a performance that sounds like an ensemble.
Looper Workflow
Phrases (a total of 60 seconds worth can be recorded)
Intro Main Ending
Overdub Overdub/ Overdub

Repeated playback
Looper rhythm
An intro is played automatically upon start of a recording; when recording is stopped, an ending is played automatically.
The recordable time is approximately 60 seconds for all phrases (intro, main, ending).
What are Phrases?

Keyboard performances and vocals from a microphone that have been recorded using the Looper function are known as “Phrases.”
Each phrase consists of the following three elements.
• Intro
• Main
• Ending
What is a Looper Rhythm?

Each of the Looper rhythms includes an appropriate chord progression, a tempo, and measure number data.
When you record a phrase using the Looper, performance will be based on the selected Looper rhythm data.
By adding harmony to the sound from the microphone, you can sing with harmony that’s appropriate for the Looper rhythm’s chord
progression.
Each looper rhythm consists of the following two elements.
• Drums
• Bass
MEMO
If you save the recorded phrase on USB memory, you’ll also be able to use it with the Audio Key function (p. 31).
* You can’t do the following while using the Looper.
• Play back or record a song
• Session Partner
• Audio Key
• Transpose
• Change the time signature
• Change the tempo
60
Recording a Phrase
Here’s how to record a phrase.
If Using a Microphone
1. Connect your microphone (p. 76).
2. Adjust the microphone volume (p. 76).
3. If desired, turn on the microphone harmony (p. 76).
MEMO
Since the Looper records the sound by overdubbing, noise from the microphone might be more obtrusive.
If such noise is a problem, you can assign a pedal to switch the microphone input on/off (p. 72), and turn on the microphone input only when you
need to record the sound from the microphone.
Select a Looper Rhythm

1. Press the [DISPLAY] button a number of times to access the LOOPER screen.
2. Use the [-] [+] buttons to select the desired looper rhythm.
For more about the available looper rhythms, refer to “Looper Rhythm List” (p. 98).
* Since changing the Looper rhythm’s tempo will change the length of the phrase, it might not fit within the available Looper recording time.
MEMO
You can choose which looper rhythm parts will sound (p. 67).
If the following screen appears

A confirmation message may appear if you attempt to select a different Looper rhythm or use a function other than the Looper before you’ve
saved the recorded phrase.
If it’s OK to erase the recorded phrase Press the TEMPO [+] button.
If you want to save the recorded phrase Press the TEMPO [-] button to store the recorded phrase into USB memory (p. 67).

MEMO
• If you’re not satisfied with the phrase you recorded, and would like to re-record it, erase the phrase as described in “Erasing a Phrase” (p. 63).
• If you assign the pedal function to “Looper Start/Stop” or “Looper Overdub,” you’ll be able to operate the Looper using the pedal (p. 73).

If you hear this in the headphones:
Some brilliant and sharply defined piano sounds contain significant high-frequency components, which
may sound like a metallic resonance has been added. This is due to the faithful simulation of a piano’s
actual characteristics, and does not indicate a malfunction.
You can adjust this resonance by editing the following settings.

If you don’t hear this in headphones:
When performing at a high volume, the speakers or an object near the FP-7F might resonate. It is also
possible for fluorescent lights or glass doors in the room to resonate. For the low notes in particular, this
