This keyboard is an arranger, not a synth! Of course, we add effects and edit sound settings 2.3 (resonance, reverb etc. ...), but not working the sound itself (not editing).
It comes with 480 sounds on two banks (A and B) to know ... a lot of his drum in the bank B (a little unnecessary in my opinion).
Level connectivity: Midi In and out (no through), a microphone input (for the sampling function and Karaoke hehe! (((But hey, it amuses my little girl))) 1 audio input and output (Kinch) practice to connect a mixing desk or even a simple audio recorder, a headphone jack and still sustain an entry (if I'm not mistaken?).
At end, one can use the D beam, but personally I prefer to use the knobs.
Level sequencer, recorder Bhen There's only a single track (rec / play), however, it also saves your changes sound change in sound, tempo, etc. ...
It may well save a line with a style "x" and then change the RPS RPS style reading ... everything can change in reading.
The keyboard also features an arpeggiator (not extraodinaire, but better than nothing), a bender and a modulator with adjustable portamento.
Sounds, Bhen There's drinking and eating ... some really nice sounds coming from juno and Jp and other not so good (but overall ok for the price now!).
UTILIZATION
The keyboard is a cinch to use, except TFW for the sampler that I quibble with the manual to use it 100%.
The manual does not do really good pub on the keyboard (it seems to read the manual for a toy ball 5, which is not quite the case), however, it is well written and clear enough .
OVERALL OPINION
I use it since 2000, I unfortunately bought new at full price (+ - 740 euros).
What I like least are the phrases and RPS Arranger (there's not a lot of good stuff) ... plus you can not change the sounds of words (just add or remove some effects) -> necessary be read by another synth sequences.
In addition, the bass lines sound "kid", Roland would have made an effort on this one!
There's sometimes missed when changing ptits note (in the public RPS) ... shot a lil kick in too, a lil break ... Dunno maybe my camera has a problem??
Roland Corporation noted in its manual that an update of styles is possible ... juqu'à
To date, nothing is available yet unfortunately.
That said, I did terrible things still with the camera, but I advise you to use it via midi with another synth to enrich the sound.
At noon, it is quite limited (transmission ok, but ... blah reception Mod 1,2,3,4 a simple function that enables or disables certain functions such as the recorder, keyboard, etc. ...), I ' I never got to use one of the 11 drums kits with a sequencer
external power or change the sounds in my own way when using an external sequencer!
on the other hand in transmission is ok (so you can inject a phrasing RPS on another device, but do with ...)
The touch keyboard is not very great, but acceptable.
What I like most: Bhen when one does not have much stuff, you know connect to another device on it, it is amplified (speakers) and sampler (though it is very limited) is of good quality and practice to run loops.
With experience, I would go for this model, but I bitterly regret to have bought at full price (especially when I see the opportunity now price).
