Standard 88-key keyboard
16 sound banks with 4 changes = 64 different sounds
UTILIZATION
Touch is certainly a little lighter than a real piano, but very pleasant living. The configuration of the different functions is not too complex, which is fortunate since there are only few functions.
The manual seems well done, although I did not open for 3 years of use, which tends to prove that the setup is fairly intuitive!
A big black spot: I have a button that is pressed when it is overburdened (eg chirp). the problem is mechanical. I also always thought that the key velocity is not a game on regular piano. Take a classic piece of gently, and you'll find that certain notes come out stronger than others, so you do not press harder on the button. I play yet still setting the keyboard on the heavy.
Overall, very disappointed with the lack of care given to the quality of the keyboard. On this point, I compared with RD-700 is the day and night (the price as you say ...)
SOUNDS
As always with Roland, sounds very good, especially the piano, which can easily make more or less hollow metal or by adjusting the slider adequate.
The rest of the sounds is very good, although I sometimes found that lack of variation: some sounds are not played in luxury. I have already expressed above the velocity that I think is the obvious weak point of this keyboard. I'm surprised to be the only one to mention: I'd fall on the wrong keyboard?
OVERALL OPINION
After 3 years of use, I am quite happy to share this enormous problem that touches crashes, but that only seems to concern me. That said, I finally fix it by removing the keyboard and putting a clip that was poorly implemented. I do not thank Roland, who has not deigned to answer me when I asked for info on the dismantling ...
This piano is very affordable, fun to play. I still regret choosing a model with no pitch wheel, which I sorely lack in the use of guitar sounds and other computer music composition.
In this regard, no problem with MIDI part, I had found on the catastrophic U-20.
I recommend it to those who want a cheap piano touch with quite a good piano sound, and did not need additional features (rhythm, accompaniment, pitch ...)
