The Renowned FP Style

The FP-E50 offers essential features that have made the award-winning FP piano series a worldwide success. It moves easily in and out of the house, while the internal stereo speakers create an immersive sound wherever you perform. If necessary, you can connect external speakers for greater sound coverage. Or connect headphones and keep the music all to yourself.

A Seamless Workflow

While the FP-E50 is packed with advanced features, approaching the instrument is simple and frustration-free. The high-quality display shows the tone, tempo, and other essential information, while the intuitive panel control layout offers direct access to sound selection, favorite tones, keyboard transposition, and much more. Many buttons include functions that activate with a long press, allowing you to save settings or modify detailed parameters without navigating menus. And thanks to Scenes, you can instantly recall complete setups for the entire keyboard with a single action.

Play Without Limits

Combining the expressive features of FP pianos with Roland's advanced keyboard and vocal technologies, the FP-E50 offers you a powerful range of musical capabilities to perform with passion in any style.

A Superior Piano Experience

Whether you are new to the piano or an experienced musician, the FP-E50 provides a solid foundation for learning, practicing, and performing. The Roland SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine offers the true feel and interactive response of an acoustic grand piano, allowing you to produce infinite tonal colors through playing dynamics. The 88 full-size keys complete the experience, with hammer action, escapement, and Ivory Feel materials, offering your fingers the same touch as a top-class acoustic instrument.

A Universe of Additional Sounds With the Power of ZEN-Core

The FP-E50 is also equipped with an expandable ZEN-Core sound engine, the same advanced sound engine used in professional Roland synthesizers like JUPITER-X and FANTOM. Explore iconic Roland synth sounds, brass and orchestral voices, guitars, basses, drums, and much more. Using simple controls, you can freely layer piano and ZEN-Core tones, or assign different sounds to the left and right hands.

Your Interactive Accompaniment Band

With its intelligent automatic accompaniment features, the FP-E50 provides you with a full band. Choose from almost 200 internal musical styles, created by professional composers. Direct the arrangements with left-hand fingering: from easy single-note commands for beginners, to full chord detection for more advanced musicians. The interactive mode makes everything even more fun, allowing you to manage the volume and energy of the accompaniment based on how you play. And thanks to the Chord Sequencer function, you can improvise and develop melodies on lively preset chord progressions that automatically follow the accompaniment.

Find Your Voice

Sing over your keyboard performance using the FP-E50's microphone input, with studio-quality vocal effects. Bring the sound to life with rich ambiances, and create a professional sound with compression and noise suppression. Perform with impressive real-time harmonies that magically follow the chords you play. Or surprise your audience with voice transformer effects that change your gender or transform you into a funky robot. There's even a vocoder to create vintage electronic voices and choral sounds, controlled via the notes played on the keyboard.

Explore and Create

Take your FP-E50 experience to the next level with expansions on Roland Cloud, Bluetooth audio and MIDI support, internal recording, and USB connectivity with music software on computers and mobile devices.
