Value For Money : Excellent
88 keys, touch heavy! Lightweight 15 kg! (Slightly less than the 300SX)
He throws!

Many sounds (+ 300), a beautiful piano (superior large), effects, features master keyboard, the keyboard 3 HPS (^^), pace accompanying mp3 audio file playback via a USB key (n 'matter which one) ..

all the connections that have (2 output jacks, phones, 2 x pedal, midi out and in, USB out, USB in) lack an XLR output and a midi-through ca c chze but the big brother.

Ah a good pedal roland provided (we sustain that good progress can be measured!)

UTILIZATION

So touching! Excellent quality / price ratio. Marked improvement with the 300SX. Heavy but not too much bounce the key. Try because it's pretty personal but I am conquered, you can really play in nuance and we feel the keys!

The interface is very simple, there is a clear instruction that is required for advanced features (and there are plenty). But the opening is happening Desj a good hour to see all sounds very easily.

The selection of the patch is easy, plus the screen is not only useful, but the writing is pretty blznche! D Lots of small LEDs that give a nice side scene: D
As a shortcut key piano, which we directly apsse super piano

The manual is very complete.

SOUNDS

As for sounds, I wanted above all a good piano sound, even if I have good VST plugins is to play without a PC.

On this side the Grand Superior (inherited from the RD 700SX I think) is awesome! Good bass and good treble mostly I find him a good momentum (a good piano, pianissimo can be too strong).

For other sounds, electric pianos are quite BOFs (Native electric instrument piano rock) there are good organ, good pads and violins! what fun! a more alto sax that I find fun!

At least for the piano, thanks to the touch, and the quality of the keyboard, it was a game very expressive!

About 300 sounds (just over 200 including both intruders for General MIDI)

Also a big plus, I thought it was gadget but the integrated audio player c cool to make statement, or even find pieces work.
The principle is simple, a USB key (normal), you put the mp3 file) from your PC, then you put the key on the keyboard and pressing song, it scans and you can read music, you can stop continue, navigate, easy (very reactive). you can even accelerate and slow down the tempo of the audio file (keeping the pitch). I find it short more need to make back and forth with my pc for a statement. In addition we have a small utiliaire to cut the song and map parts of the keys (from b1 to b0)!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost a year since I m buying a good digital piano! I have tried many and I chose the RD-700SX, but with the announcement of the RD-300GX, who inherits a lot, at a great price (especially in Grenoble Pianotech I highly recommend: D). .. so I watched the stock arrive in stores for testing.

And soon I chose! An excellent keyboard very close again in the RD-700SX! If you have trouble finding it in stock to test the keyboard is very similar to the Roland FP-4.

In short, excellent touch (j have also tested the 700GX with beautiful ivory feel sensation, but I find many snaps), a great piano sound (the Grand Superior), a lot of sounds to touch everything! What design their own piano sound and other (a lot of parameters, n I have not toured yet), features master keyboard, HPS in 3 areas, features music player! Very portable, "very light" and very good price.
As for the least:
- Electric pianos

and c any worse: D
