Sounds:
The sounds are very good, the pianos are still not matched to date share the settings that you can do all this and using the touch screen: exceptional. The sounds of electric piano, organs, tablecloths, brass are excellent.
The sounds are not editable. As against this, can add great effects shots in two fingers (thank you to the touch screen).
Keyboard:
The keyboard (PHA a Progressive Hammer Action 1st generation) is excellent but we did better today with the PHAI which adds to the feeling PHA in the exhaust is better but the PHA is very good. It s "acts in a mechanical hammer (keyboard larger force on the lower and lower in the acute)
Arranger:
The arranger is very good on the KF-7.
The ease of use of KF-7 is disconcerting is all done by touch screen, it's magic, touch the touch response is excellent and very fast. In addition it is very intuitive to search, settings, loading, and save your finger!
Session partner:
This section allows you to use a style of music all the sauces ... For exmple, you can take the song "The Entertainer" and play that style define our own agreements with a rhythm of hard rock, tango, bossa or ... etc.. Ideal for making its own arrangements, playing music at a rate different from the original!
Sequencers:
MIDI sequence playback is very good but again it is better today because you have to use the floppy drive! A USB keyboard would be ideal on this ... I think that all it lacks.
The top of the KF-7 is that one can directly display the score of any midi file read: outstanding!
The sequence is very sophisticated but I do not use it very often.
Vocoder:
In addition, the KF-7 has a microphone that allows you to make some kind of vocoder ...
UTILIZATION
The touch keyboard is it fun? Should your use?
Excellent touch
- The general configuration is it simple?
Extremely simple. The contribution of touchscreen is for something!
- The selection of MIDI channels, patches is easy?
The touch screen makes using a treat!

Yes. Manuel very well done as always with Roland.
SOUNDS
- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
They are suitable for all styles of music
- Are they realistic?
Yes, a little flat for flutes and trumpets (I had the opportunity to see a pattern ES8 did much better today!)
- The effects are they effective and responsive?
yes, many more importantly
- The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch to)?
Ewxcellente, excellent keyboard
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate ...?
The piano (and its many quick adjustments by touch screen) in particular + all other sounds are good. I hate guitar but I've never seen a good digital piano out guitar sounds ... !
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
More than 2 years
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The piano sound with harmonic tuning 'sympathetic resonance that adds resonance
chords played on the keys when using the expression pedal: outstanding!
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, I had a lot of synth in my life
- How would you rate the quality / price?
A bit expensive to buy but it is its price. Used the KF-7 is very well placed. There must be more than 3000 euros today for a piano as good, fun, easy to use ...
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
