    very beautiful white and I would recommend the foot matching wood look great (well other than a black thing that takes the dust)

    USE

    I use it and then 7 days.
    It is very beautiful in white, very compact and therefore perfect in my home studio. I became addicted to the piano when I was rather guitarist but it is a real pleasure this keyboard. Touching realistic and regardless of whether the purists are lost in conjectures on this point: can work without distorting the piano technique, I think.
    I use it for the moment without having to resort to the manual seems clear.
    Intuitive.
    I only use the keyboard sounds that are obviously very well

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Quality price without equivalent
    the best keyboard that price
    the only real weakness is the amplification that is oddly cheap switche when listening with the headphones, but it's mostly a working amplifier because it is better of course send the sound to a table or an amp ddi

    Excellent stage piano

    Roland FP-4Published on 04/19/13 at 09:59

    Stage piano with touch drive (adjustable sensitivity)
    333 sounds - 62 types of effects - Metronome
    Ability to play without amplification or cut the speaker on the keyboard.
    Sixty integrated classical pieces (for the pleasure of listening and not reproduce not) - about 15 kg

    UTILIZATION

    Used keyboards to touch synth, I was looking for a stage piano for fun hard touch of a real piano. Not being a pianist who made the conservatory but a self-taught, I am not able to compare the feel of PF4 with that of a real grand piano. Nevertheless, I love it and I still feel today excellent feel when I play. In fact it is this piano I train consistently for the songs I play with my band or…

    UTILIZATION

    Used keyboards to touch synth, I was looking for a stage piano for fun hard touch of a real piano. Not being a pianist who made the conservatory but a self-taught, I am not able to compare the feel of PF4 with that of a real grand piano. Nevertheless, I love it and I still feel today excellent feel when I play. In fact it is this piano I train consistently for the songs I play with my band or repeats when I compose. His weight is not excessive and I often brought on stage when I was only piano sounds to play with my band.

    SOUNDS

    There are a dozen piano sounds (right tailed, rock, honky-tonk, harpsichord ...), a dozen electric pianos (Rhodes, Wurli, Clavinet) and organ, sounds of guitars and bass sets of strings, pads, and a big bank GSM sounds containing all possible sounds. But that's not why we bought it. I personally use the sounds of piano, rock piano, Wurli (I'm a fan of Supertramp) and string sounds, so ten to break everything. The piano sounds are really great (a huge difference with that of my arranger keyboard) have a coarse and a large expression, I do not get tired.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This piano for me to fully use that I (hit hard, sound great ...). It is easy to carry, has a (not very wide) very convenient form, and in addition, it is really beautiful (painted white) and simple (it has just two knobs and a few buttons for alignment). It's been six years since I have and I do not intend at all to change, except possibly for a Nord Piano because I'm a big fan of the concept and the color Clavia, but it is not the same price.

    Hello,

    Superb instrument. I bought it for piano and rhodes sounds.
    I use a little violins. Come on, I have to use 5% of the possibilities of this piano.
    I love the piano sound and touch. Plus it is relatively light for transport during concerts.
    Aside his organ is average. Damage.
    Very convenient for playing jazz, blues, bossa.

    UTILIZATION

    The touch is nice, despite an accentuation of key noise after a certain amount of use.
    The manual is clear and quickly found that we seek.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds pianos, rhodes are excellent.
    Organ sounds average limit disappointing with the Leslie effect
    Some violins sounds interesting, despite a lack of balance in his duo with another instrument.
    I do not use copper or guitar in my games.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use 1 to 2 hours per day
    I tried the equivalent model in Yamaha and Korg.
    I chose this model based on my sound preference, despite a better feeling in the Yamaha.
    Probably I would do the same choice for a future purchase

    UTILIZATION

    The touch is heavier than that of FP2 or even the FP5 and I must admit it's not and even dsagreable plutt well.
    I think the setup is rather simple gnrale even if, with only a small step and a relatively small number of buttons, it must on occasion make complex key combinations to enable certain functionality s.
    Nanmoins all the features that are truly enjoyable Submitted fp4 and accompaniments are really nice (from what the ct I can not tell you what amliorations against the fp2 fp5.)
    I have yet to test MIDI or USB.
    The manual is clear even if it is in English: p.

    SOUNDS

    The sample set is comprehensive Manir trs good and those who have cost the sounds of fp previous ones can be an ide of what it's worth. (I find that the sounds were nanmoins amliors ts: for example a piano sound mtallique least.)
    The expression is good trs. The sensitivity I like a lot.
    The number of sounds, rhythms and accompaniments bass / chords / drums are really nice and offers styles Varis.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for only 2 days but I m'clate dja much.
    I wish to point out that trs is well made and it is lightweight! (Positive).
    I fp prfere to previous ones and in this price range it gives me the piano IDAL: in fact I bought a 1090 report qualitprix level so nothing to say.
    In this price range I would do without this choice hsiter.

    UTILIZATION

    - The touch keyboard is it enjoyable? Should you use?
    The FIRST TIME, it's not easy, we must get used to, but the next morning when one rveil, and you try it: absolute pleasure!
    This keyboard is a good touch trs.

    - The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
    If we want to play classical piano sounds, no problem:
    The manual is important trs, Do not hesitate to ask in French if you count the Roland fp aquerire 4 because it is in the box in English.
    The explanation of the manual are well explained trs frame.

    - The select MIDI channels, patches is easy?
    I have not tried the MIDI, but the explanation in the manual there.
    Especially as the connection is via USB.

    SOUNDS

    - The sounds they agree your style of music?
    Yes perfectly, thanks his 333 sounds, pianos and DIFFERENT, I may well pass trs from jazz to Rock, Pop the Opra, to the classic as Chopin Mozart.

    - Are they ralistes?
    Yes. The sounds are almost all ralistes, the Organs are less but do not forget that this is a PIANO Numrique.
    - The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?
    Yes. The expression is trs good, with three "layers" of four or vlocits, keyboard rpond trs well.

    - What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...
    I love the Piano is what I use mainly piano and particulirement trs Rock is alive. The other sounds are also honorable trs.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Finally, what is gnial with this keyboard is its method of support, as well as features such as superimposing two instruments, sharing the keyboard ...
    In short, I am happy to rev right Piano, and it's not that I would do hsiter this choice, I had to try the FP 7, and I find that the FP 4 is much more compact and feel more enjoyable.
    I use it for 5 days
    The report quality price is excellent.
    I would do without this choice hsiter.

    on the other hand, fate careful well ask your dealer manual in FRENCH! For all uses are made by key combinations can be quite complex. With a manual no problem, but otherwise ...

    SOUNDS

    Talking about the sounds on offer by this keyboard.
    Personally, I love the sound of piano roland, a little deaf, but a sound round and a stamp that leaves room for a great expressiveness.

    I love the bass sounds, especially those with a cymbal sound. Only BMOL is that the bass sounds lose their charm if you only play with the simple amplification of the keyboard. Headphones, or plug into amp, it is a joy, but otherwise ...

    I therefore privileged the game with headphones only.

    the strings are not the most Russian, but not bad when even. The organ sounds seem interesting, especially with the multi purpose but I do not know still use it.
    Percu kits are nice, sr, well, there is the bank GM2 always apprciable.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this keyboard for a week, and I am Fully satisfied.
    J'hsitait with an FP-7, but I do not regret my choice. Of course, the amplification of the FP-4 trs is average, but with headphones, is happiness. Touch me happy, especially in this price range.
    Some sounds are great, others a little less raliste, but the piano remains cel numrique APRS all!

    The connection is aprciable rich, especially for connecting to PC!

    I RPET, I do not regret my choice at all, the FP-4 is for me the best keyboard on the market for less than 1500!

    Not good against it by Access in menus including keystroke recording, it's not complicated but requires trs a little learning I think an interface provided with more t would empty the FP4 CHRE more then ...... But it is tedious and even though I'd pass. For CASC by the sound against no problem (thankfully).

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are good trs was recorded live in the console, the sublime pianos Hammonds compelling here is the touch but imposes a heavy game more than legato rhythm is a gre twelve o'clock with a little touch a light cot .
    Rohdes great, not bad at all wurli, the clavinet is a bit spcial a little thin too got my Russian.
    The bass is low enough but also electrical Ingals
    It was also more sounds of classical instruments very convincing two harpsichords, harp, organ positive ..... really good.
    the strings are pretty but totally inexpressive ground without attacks and not at all raliste, I compose for a string section with organ sounds is more explicit for the musicians. But we can make tablecloths, I do not.
    The Pads are trs "dj viewed" but of excellent quality.
    The percussion is correct and above all very practical for small percussion. The triangle, the crcelles, the chimes ... is very practical phase model. For some batteries ultra skilled puppeteers in a groove will draw breath I'm not
    I can not find a trs effective.
    The bank GM2 reclle ppites any, of which moogish dpannent a synth guitars are some interesting effects spciaux and above there is the recorder (a kind of ultra B3 flt that caught my attention right away and I heard several prods
    since it is a sound synthse trs musical and expressive.

    The effects ..... I know there are funny things but I think the good effects algorithms are COSM boss is just a box to do everything that is not of the quality of the piano sound when it comes out is a little decrease in my opinion.

    Trs well switch SOUND CONTROL is a type of expander that seems to act directly on the samples worked perfectly enlve one does not.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had about 4 months and I am not at all due, I chose this keyboard on its function Premire ie to be a piano without strings (and Furniture amplification), but a real piano, it's perfect.
    For the rest there is a wide field of action for the composition and prep arrangements.
    For the effects and "bonus" there is good and less good but it is a machine complte trs.
    Report quality is good price for the 1200 mine is a sum but it's a real piano would could be worse.

    I made an ending for recording with singers accompanied by keyboard sound that's the model then no danger but I think the findings will be INTERESTED. I would do a post to give you your exact

    Everything you need except the south-through? .. Finally, a priori it is a piano, not a sampler.
    I would have appreciated a little flexibility in the split function: how to play piano + bass to the piano left hand and right hand? Otherwise no complaints, everything is there.

    UTILIZATION

    Touch is harder than on a piano acoustic. I wish to report it, because when it tries to store it rather flattering and you do not care. But here, after half a day playing, I have tendinitis (wait three months and buy a new keyboard, nice). In short if you want to play classical pieces of hard, forget the model (see reviews of FP7).

    The configuration ... like a drum machine, 10000 fonctinnalites screen but a three-digit ... but it's pretty good like that. The manual was translated hastily from Japanese into English (?) But it's still clear enough.
    As noted, the speakers are a bit low, and I like well. After all work is done without bothering the neighbors. Note also a small blast that turns the integrated speakers, but fortunately the line output is clean.

    SOUNDS

    Well the grand piano is fabulous, limited too bright, as usual with Roland. Very pleasant to play, we seem to hear a real piano. Other pianos add variety, but it lacks a piano sound just felt right ... matter of finding his usual. For fans of old style there is a tune piano! Rhodes & Co's evils are not very realistic, but they sound too stifling. We can fix that with Quad-band equalizer settings assigned to each tone. In short we can find her happy, as by mixing with the sounds of bass and other waveforms. The rest will provide good amount of raw material. In short, to play standard or Save the electronic funk, it's not far from the ideal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    So I recently, but I did not play far from half a score of hours. I tested a yamaha a bit more expensive, another roland, korg the folding. Good "playability" of sounds, there is a way to have a little better. I personally find the excellent value for money: it was a convertible soft piano piano scene with sounds of excellent quality for 1200 euros ... but mostly it's white!

    change one month later against by touch is too hard. I have a tendininte, I'll have to sell it when I could carry objects heavier than a cup of coffee, in a month or two.

    Very nice touch. I had gone to buy a Yamaha P140, the seller advised me to look a bit the other models, and I must say it was live, I much prefer the feel of the FP-4 to that of P-140 ( too soft for my taste).

    The manual is very clear (but I was surprised: the seller, it was in French, in my box, it was in English).
    The general configuration takes some getting started (everything is done through keystrokes and we saw just a simple 7-segment display * 3 + point, that's right), but it's very effective.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds are very clean. The advantage of this keyboard on other electronic pianos is that it offers in addition to the banks of keyboards GM2 complete a bank (even if the overall quality is questionable, it is more, it avoids having to carry around with an expander or a second keyboard when it's just for 2 / 3 odds and ends. The piano sounds are very clean, the sheets of strings are really poor (but a priori it is a habit on electronic pianos). Sounds organ are not bad at all (there is a small sound very nice positive, with a very nice transient attack).
    I have not tested the advanced effects. I just use a half-pedal, I do not know if the keyboard supports a full-pedal gradually.
    I particularly appreciate the opportunity to choose his temperament (this is in this context that I use the sounds of harpsichord and positive for the backup in certain situations).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 days. For now I have not received the "cabinet" to fix it (which is a bit expensive for three pieces of wood painted [about € 170], but hey ...), so it is placed on trestles . It looks pretty solid, is relatively light. I do not regret that choice at all: cheaper and more enjoyable to me than the Yamaha P-140 (I tried other models from Yamaha P-70, P-140, CLP230, but I could not try his big brother, the FP-7 ...).
    The value for money is excellent. It does exactly what I want (I bought one second foot for the "una corda"), but allows me to have a more synth / arranger of good quality.
    I chose the BK model, personally, I find the black design much nicer than white (though very successful, the faux painted white is the most beautiful effect), but it is a very personal opinion.

    Update: after a short month of perfect use, the keyboard began producing parasites increasingly frequent and noisy, to be completely useless (every 10 seconds, the speakers produce an infernal noise). So it is left for repair (since under warranty). My supplier gave me a another pending FP-4 (new, packaged, was very nice), but I found another weakness of the keyboard: it has flaws sensor 3 buttons: the velocity maximum is even touching the key.
    The product is still very good, I like to think that I have not had any luck, but I review my notes feature: 10 to 8. I sincerely hope not to have to decline further.

    Second update: this is now over a year I use the one I received back from the workshop. No complaints. Of course it's not a must considering the price, but I really like the feel (which, although not very accurate compared to a "real" piano keyboard, is not soft). It is easy to move (it can only carry around and it comes in a Twingo). The wooden legs are simple but provide a nice comfort (stability, and finish a little cleaner in a salon). I regret just two points: no possibility to set the pedals to a rod (as proposed by some competitors) so they tend to run down, and no hard cover to protect the keyboard from dust and everything you can imagine in a house alive.

    Rhode, clavinet and webs of very very good quality.
    I appreciate the possibility of creating patches and call sounds very easily, very practical on stage, something I could not do with my or my p120 FP8, thank you Roland for this evolution in the piano numrique .

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been two months now I use it.
    I had gone to buy the kawai mp5 which ignores very promising on paper, but a test, I vraimment t by its very touch of which felt very cheap on the MODEL dja dmo that some keys rpondaient the Manir a keyboard "usquot;.
    I then tried the P140, FP7, and FP4 chose which I found most compelling.
    In this price range is that I would do without hsiter choice.

    Trs good: piano, harpsichord, bass + cymbal
    Excellent: jazz organ, electric guitar, slap bass, scat voices and other sounds such as anecdotal bote music, piano dsaccord (excellent for playing ragtime) ...
    Good: violins, organs of church, classical guitar, pan flute ...
    Medium: accordion, trumpet, drums ...
    Trs medium to bad: flute, saxophone, orchestra hit ...
    For accompaniment, it is quite the same thing. There trs of good and bad.
    But overall, the good is so good he really forget the bad. Tune in to the jazz organ, and you'll aussitt want to be the new Ray Charles, as they are fantastic and give pleasure to play!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had two months, and I'm really super stoked. Touch trs correct. For sound, the main silent for me jazz piano and organ. The first is really good trs, on the second I think is the best in the market.
    In addition, the FP4 has some fun features that can be dtendre sympathetically.
    And at the industry level it is really complete, it seems well suited to a game scne.
    Moreover it is not too heavy, and is truly portable.
    I played a long time on a Yamaha P140 (come on AudioFanzine opinion), for me there is no doubt: the roland, its functions, its sounds, its convenience, is worth more. In addition, (I will explain in my opinion), the yamaha p140 seems really rt (and I well knew him. So in this price range, I looked long, I tried a lot of things (korg, casio, yam, roland) and fp4 seemed be a report quality / price / pleasure / unbeatable playability. APRS 2 months of use, I confirm all.

    SOUNDS

    The piano sound is a trs beautiful, even through the infamous amplification fp4!

    Other sounds are useless except for the battery cover.
    The rhodes wurli are cheap and it is a shame and an instrument on which they should have put the package on digital and acoustic pianos and zap 333sons gm and other gadgets! So I use the rhodes from time to time because I love the sound but that of fp4 lack of grain, expressiveness and ability to rglages. So I'm looking for a solution sounds good rhodes, if possible without the fp4 Sparer me.

    Effects: bof often too much and I did not understand on what we paramtres poiuvait intervene. I confess that I myself am not too Attard roughly the phaser, chorus, tremolo seem usable autowah: bof, months to find how to choose the range of the filter frequency drives, Disto: unusable.

    The expression with the piano sound is excellent my taste.

    K'aurez you understand, I love the sound of acoustic piano and am over by the electric pianos. The hammond organ sound is pretty good but I use it soon.

    A default for a piano of apartment: amplificatipon the trs is a bad breath Permanet! Red card on that!

    OVERALL OPINION

    18 months of use.
    I like its looks, light weight, keyboard enjoyable, the sound of piano.
    I like her a little less electric piano sounds.
    I dtest (it's a bit much but hey) its internal amplification, but I the "use of me so I do.
    on the other hand I had a reour in SAV for saturation in the acute intenpestive. APRS change, the new me the same problem of intermittent Manir. So monitors vue.Edit: problem with rgl in cahngeant appartemment, apparently it n'aimaiit hulidit not excessive.
    Quality price ratio shame with 1200 feet of wood and a bench X.

    I think I would do this choice because it is my first piano and I am a hard spare. When I bought there was not as good in terms of keyboard / piano / compactness that price l. He seems to be ecore in the game. Unless a PC3LE Kurzweil so cheap with a good keyboard and great ep's ...
