The new Roland FP-E50 Digital Piano

A modern portable piano with powerful entertainment features

The Roland FP-E50 is a portable digital piano with SuperNATURAL Piano and ZEN-Core sound engines. It features an 88-note hammer-action keyboard, professional interactive backing bands and expandable sounds from Roland Cloud. There's also a mic input with vocal harmony effects and Bluetooth connectivity. 

The FP-E50 has a PHA-4 keybed with Escapement and Ivory Feel for a high quality piano playing experience. Add in the Roland SuperNATURAL Piano engine, built-in speakers and music stand, and you have everything you need for a great home digital piano.

But while FP-E50 brings you a premium digital piano experience, there is so much more included. This fun portable piano is filled with Roland’s top technologies, providing a complete creative hub for learning, performing, and writing music. 

The FP-E50's automatic accompaniment features, for example, include 177 preset styles that cover all genres. There’s also an interactive function where the FP-E50 will ‘listen’ to how you’re playing and adjust the backing track to suit. Then there’s the chord sequencer which includes 140 preset patterns for you to jam over, with space to store your own.

The FP-E50 goes above and beyond with its additional sounds, too. Roland’s latest ZEN-Core engine – the same one used in the company’s high-end synths – delivers the expected acoustic and electric pianos, strings, organs and pads, but you also get a multitude of synth tones, orchestral voices, drum sets and more.

You can even connect a mic and sing with vocal effects and real-time harmonies. And go further with Bluetooth® audio/MIDI support, onboard recording, computer connectivity, and numerous sounds and style expansion options on Roland Cloud.

The FP-E50 delivers a total playing experience. It has all the feel and quality of a fantastic home piano keyboard, but so many extras to help you play and have fun with music, and even gives you a backing band to play along with!

With a genuinely beginner-friendly workflow, FP-E50 is an entertainment keyboard in every sense of the word. If you value sound quality, ease-of-use and fun, it’s in a class of its own.

Explore the FP-E50.
