Experience a Premium-Class Piano

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced pianist, the FP-E50 provides a rich foundation for learning, practicing, and performing. Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano engine offers authentic acoustic piano feel and interactive response, allowing you to draw out endless tonal colors with dynamic expression. Its 88 full-size keys are enhanced by hammer action, escapement, and Ivory Feel materials, delivering the same touch under 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 tone generator used in Roland’s professional synthesizers like the JUPITER-X and FANTOM. Explore historic Roland synthesizer tones, wind and orchestral sounds, guitar and bass, world sounds, percussion, and more. With simple controllers, you can layer piano and ZEN-Core tones at will or assign different tones to the left and right hands.

Accompaniment Band

With intelligent auto-accompaniment tools, the FP-E50 delivers the full sound of a band at your command. Choose from nearly 200 built-in musical styles, newly crafted by professional composers. Trigger arrangements with left-hand patterns ranging from single-note triggers for beginners to full chord detection for advanced players. The interactive mode adds even more fun, allowing you to control the volume and intensity of the accompaniment based on your playing. And with the Chord Sequencer feature, you can improvise and develop melodies over a colorful programmed chord progression that automatically follows the accompaniment.

Find Your Voice

Sing along with your keyboard performances using the FP-E50’s microphone input and studio-grade vocal effects. Enrich your sound with lush ambience and tighten it up with a compressor and noise gate. Perform with impressive real-time harmonies that magically follow your chords. You can also surprise your audience with voice transformation effects that change your gender or turn you into a fun robot. There’s even a vocoder for creating vintage electronic voices and choir sounds that you can control from the keyboard.

Expand your accompaniment library with the Z-Style Packs,* a new range of professionally developed styles and corresponding tone settings for popular musical genres and regional styles from around the world.
