Best value:
Excellent
5 octave keyboard with aftertouch VLOC but no. 64-voice polyphony.
Several modulation knobs in real time (super convenient!) Lever pitch / modulation as on all Roland.
1 pair of audio output, the usual three MIDI pedals and 2 taken.
The touch keyboard suits me well but noisy. In any case it is of much better quality than the Triton!
The synth sounds and embarks 512 GM and GM2 compatible.
I put 9 / 10 because of the lack of aftertouch ...
UTILIZATION
Despite all the itty bitty screen, it's pretty simple to navigate. Sounds are grouped by which one catgories accde with the appropriate button. For the edition, you have to walk through the menus, but it comes out relatively easily. In beginners, do not hsiter dive into the manual (not too bad cel by the way) ... Roland would still have even been able to provide a utility PC / Mac!
The big problem on this synth is that the edition is really basic! It sounds a little hack, we add the effects, we cre performance, but that's it! It's frustrating! But good for the price, not bad when even!
SOUNDS
Well the most important point: the sounds!
Tablecloths, leads, basses and strings are really trs trs well. For more acoustic sound, I am not specialist in, so I am not going to give an opinion. They suit me at all, by some that I find cheap ...
There are few sounds of this fabulous D-50 that has always and will continue t prdilection my machine even if you can not compare!
Ah yes, I do not know if it's clean all the RS-5, but it lacks a bit of synth potato. Mchant nothing, but sometimes I want to boost a little more.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought it nine in 2002 to get over the music an APRS trs trs long PERIOD stopping. I did not want to put a fortune and j'hsitais with Korg and Yamaha S03 X5D. I took the RS-5 on the advice of the seller and I do not regret it at all. I prfr synthse one more push and a little more dynamic, but this keyboard is overall good trs! And it is beautiful too!
