All user reviews of 5/5 for the Roland RD-170

Everything has already been said, see previous opinions

USE

The keyboard heavy touch is very similar to that of a conventional piano, it's cool when you get out of a classical education, it was a "real" keyboard to the touch, which is perfect for me in my music =)

SOUNDS

I use the RD-170 essentiellemet for his piano and rhodes sounds rather realistic; the pads and bass are nice too, the rest is history to have some other sounds available;
I take the point, however because of the relatively limited range of sounds, some pianos, Rhodes, Wurlitzer more were not luxury ...
Finally, I guess for the price at which it is found, it already offers a lot of possibilities, and it remains a strong and credible keyboard scene, I have used many times on stage without my weary me.

NOTICE GLOBAL

If I had to acquire a stage keyboard in this price range, I would take probably this model; the price / quality ratio is excellent, and it's good stuff, Roland quality is felt in the craft.
I had tried other keyboards (unfortunately I do not remember the model), but the RD-170 was the only one to convince me. The heavy touch + piano sounds and rhodes, I cracked ^^
I just bought a Gem Promega 3, with a much greater range, which has replaced my Roland, I thus separates, but I do not regret anything, I'm really happy with the choice I have done at the time, and I recommend it to everyone who needs a big piano of very good quality at good prices.

88touches hard keyboard touch
16 banks of 4 + sound effects chorus, reverb, touch.
Connectivity midi / audio out, sustain and expression pedals.

UTILIZATION

The keyboard is enjoyable to touch trs. For piano purists still has a little more lightweight than standard but it is fun to play on this instrument. The keys are bright enough to return to play fast trills.
Bought used without the original manual, the t trs grip fast thanks to the intuitive controls

SOUNDS

The sounds of this keyboard are simply breathtaking. The DIFFERENT Pianos and Rhodes are trs Fidler, albeit with a few keys on BMOL dernire the range that are a little low in sound. The organs are warm, the synth just for the decor (or serve as a background piano for lovers of film music ^ ^).

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it and I'm really glad we did trs. In the same genre, I tried an RD-100 (too soft keyboard), Yamaha P70 (sounds a little less convincing), Korg SP-250 (which is too "piano room" go to my t) before I throw my body on the piano scne. For me the biggest advantage is having a keyboard trs eclectic sound to me bourrines piano rock on scne ... Must say, the bte Pipelines Limited for!
