Q&A
What's the difference between the Roland V-Stage 88 and the RD-2000?
The RD-2000 is more stage piano-oriented with PHA-50 mechanics and a focus on pianistic playing, while the V-Stage 88 is thought of as a versatile keyboard for live performance, integrating four sound engines.
Is the Roland V-Stage 88 compatible with ZEN-Core sounds?
Yes, it uses the ZEN-Core engine and allows you to import sounds from other Roland products like the Fantom or ZENOLOGY via Roland Cloud.
Can you play without a break between two sounds?
Yes, thanks to the "Scene Chain" function, transitions between scenes are made without sound interruption.
Is the PHA-4 keyboard enough for demanding pianists?
The feel is lighter than that of the PHA-50, which will suit organ and synth playing better. Pianists oriented towards pure acoustic playing might find it a step back.
What's the alternative if I'm looking for a more piano-oriented keyboard?
The Roland FP-90X will probably be more suitable with a PHA-50 mechanism and a V-Piano motor focused on the piano experience.
