Lori,
If they didn't come with your Roland FP-4, first check with the seller to see
if they know anything. Then you could go on the web to see if you can find any.
Usually USB is pretty automatic.
Have you looked at your Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Audio
Devices/MIDI Music Playback to see if your keyboard shows up there?
Or does your Roland FP-4 have separate MIDI (5-pin circular) connectors In/Out
on the back, that are intended for your MIDI connection?

I have a Roland FP-3 and there are no instrument definition files for it.
However I can work with it just fine by using a default GM IDF. Not all the 128
sounds are possible on the Roland, but the 41 built-in instruments, and about
30 others do play back from Sonar, and are mapped correctly.
I think the problem is more basic than instrument definition files.
Have you gone to your MIDI devices dialog and located your keyboard there?
If it's not there, then I suspect that you need to see if any drivers are
required for the USB to work as MIDI.

Well for one thing, you should check if there are instrument definition
files for it that you can download. Aside from that, you need to go to the
options menu, (alt key and o,) then hit enter on midi devices. Make sure the
appropriate inputs and outputs are checked in the fields.
