With a sound that's much bigger than it looks, it's full of essential stage-ready sounds including smoky organ tones, emotive stings, moderns synths and more. Stereo outputs let you connect to an external amplification system and an intelligent rhythm feature gives you control of an onboard backing band for solo performing.
The FP-50 includes several ways to help you become a better piano player. Play privately using headphones for practice without disturbing others nearby, any time of the day or night. On-board rhythm accompaniments help you to develop your timing and find your groove and there are plenty of music styles to expand your versatility.
Plug in your sound files via USB and the clever FP-50 will let you change the key of WAV files, adjust the speed and even reduce the vocals so you can sing over the top, a useful tool for composing.
