A Modern Portable Piano with Powerful Entertainment Features

(does not include Piano Stand)

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

Develop and perform authentic piano techniques with the SuperNATURAL Piano engine and 88 weighted-action keys. Explore synthesizers, orchestral voices, and more with the advanced ZEN-Core sound engine, backed by interactive accompaniments that put you in control of a full band. 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 expansion options on Roland Cloud.

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, favorite 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.

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 colors 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.
