The Roland Go Piano has 4 main instrument banks.Įach bank has 7 instruments (Piano has 10, voice has 16), for a total of 40 instruments a far cry from the 640+ drum patterns you get with the 'Roland Go Keys', but at least most of the instruments in this piano are very useable. These act like your standard 4 way direction keys. You have 2 sets of selector dials: '+' and '-', and the octave up and octave down buttons. The menu structure and layout is very simple to understand.
Don't spill a drink over this, or your controls will go haywire. Meaning you never have to PRESS the 'buttons' (as there are no buttons), but lightly touch the right area, with the soft part of your finger. They're not buttons rather an electric conductive material like that of a touchscreen or mousepad on a laptop, layered over a strip of icons. There's a screen in the center, and what appears to be two banks of touch sensitive 'rails' on either side of the screen. I've already explained about the keys, a very simple, but effective clean. The plastic casing, few chip design (everything this keyboard drives, is a few chips on a small motherboard), tiny dot-matrix display, piano look-alike plastic keys, all scream budget! And I love engineering that puts affordability over luxury first, while still maintaining good audio quality!Ħ- So far, I have not found an option for layering instruments, nor does it have split screen or aftertouchħ- No Pitchbend wheel available for expression

However, I applaud Roland for thinking about how to make their product as affordable as possible! Like a plastic keyboard from the eighties.

Roland doesn't save your settings on internal memory (it'll just wait until you connect a device either via bluetooth or USB cable).ĥ- It looks kind of cheap. Even the headphones out suffers from distortion at higher volumes.Ĥ- Saving your settings only works on an external device. Really, the ONLY way I would recommend using this instrument, is plugged in some decent set of stage monitors (or 8" studio monitors of 100+W). The least they could have done was improve the speaker design, and if possible even add a passive subwoofer in the center, to not make this instrument sound like a $100 piano! Doesn't feel as nice as weighted keys, but it does help bring the keys mid-way between a piano and synthesizer keyboard.ģ- By far, the worst part of this piano is the speakers. It's a very effective and simple marriage of affordability and expressiveness. However they're still feeling springy, like on a synthesizer with just a bit more spring pressure. Only reverb is included).Ģ- The keys are piano keys, with a slightly heavier than keyboard action.
Yes, I know this is not a $3k piano, but still, the samples are sampled at a lower quality and not a lot of piano effects are included (like, opening vs closing grand piano lid, equalizer, volume pedal, hammer action sounds, string resonance that you would get with competition.

I've spent the past 20 minutes testdriving this piano, and it's what you'd expect from other brands, like the Korg Kross, Yamaha YPG series, Casio Privia PX series, etc.ģ- Has some of the best of Roland Piano's sampled in itĥ- 128 polyphony is quite a lot (overkill to me) for an instrument that only has 1 layer instruments! 64 would have been enough, or perhaps include future updates that allow layering?ġ- The fidelity of the Fantom X and G series and beyond is missing. They're very expressive, and have what I call 'enhanced pianos', where the low and the brights are amplified more.
