Acclaimed FP Style

The attractive FP-E50 offers all the core features that have made the award-winning FP digital piano series so popular worldwide. It travels easily in and out of the home, while onboard stereo speakers project immersive sound everywhere you play. Connect to external speakers for more sound coverage if needed when performing. Or plug in headphones and keep the music all to yourself.

Streamlined Workflow

While the FP-E50 is filled with advanced features, getting around on the instrument is frustration free. The top-level display shows sound, tempo, and other essential information, and the clean panel layout provides direct access to sound selection, favourite tones, keyboard transposition, and more. Many buttons include long-press functions, allowing you to save settings or tweak deeper parameters without menu diving. And with Scenes, you can instantly recall complete setups for the entire keyboard using single actions.

Perform Without Limits

Combining expressive FP piano features with advanced Roland keyboard and vocal technologies, the FP-E50 gives you a powerful range of musical tools to perform any style with passion. 

A Premium Piano Experience

Whether you’re new to the piano or an experienced player, the FP-E50 provides a rich foundation for learning, practicing, and performing. Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine offers the authentic feel and interactive response of an acoustic grand, enabling you to draw out endless tonal colours with your playing dynamics. The 88 full-size keys complete the experience, with hammer action, escapement, and Ivory Feel material providing the same touch beneath your fingers as a world-class acoustic instrument. 

A Universe of Additional Sounds, Powered by ZEN-Core

The FP-E50 also features the expandable ZEN-Core sound engine, the same advanced sound generator used in professional Roland synthesizers like JUPITER-X and FANTOM. Explore historic Roland synth sounds, brass and orchestral voices, guitars and basses, world sounds, drums, and many others. Using simple controls, you can freely layer piano and ZEN-Core tones or assign different sounds to the left and right hands.

Your Interactive Backing Band

With its intelligent auto-accompaniment tools, the FP-E50 puts a full band sound at your command. Choose from nearly 200 onboard music styles newly created by professional composers. Drive arrangements with your left-hand fingering, from easy one-note triggering for beginners to full-chord detection for advanced players. Interactive mode makes things even more fun, letting you guide the volume and energy of the backing based on how you play. And with the Chord Sequencer function, you can improvise and develop melodies over colourful preset chord progressions that automatically follow the accompaniment. 

Find Your Voice

Sing along with keyboard performances using the FP-E50’s mic input and studio-grade vocal effects. Liven up the sound with rich ambience and tighten things up with the compressor and noise suppressor. Perform with impressive real-time harmonies that magically follow the chords you play. Or surprise audiences with voice transformer effects that change your gender or turn you into a funky robot. There’s even a vocoder for creating vintage electronic voices and choir sounds that you guide with notes on the keyboard.

Explore and Create

Take your FP-E50 experience further with Roland Cloud expansion, Bluetooth audio/MIDI support, onboard recording, and USB connectivity with music software on computers and mobile devices.
