This instrument is a stage piano and therefore has a full, 88-key, piano action keyboard. This action makes the piano quite heavy but the pay-off is the realistic feel of the keys. 

 

 

Operating the piano is very easy. The simplest option is to turn the unit on and then press the one touch piano button. You are then playing the Superior Grand instrument and everything is setup as a classical piano. Edit options then allow you to raise or lower the lid, play with the mic positions and type, add or remove reverb and adjust the touch-sensitivity. All of these options are fairly unnecessary really since the standard sound has served me well over the years. The most useful section, as a pianist, on the instrument is the equaliser section with its parametric EQ. Rarely do I find myself in the same ambient environment and it is a matter of seconds for me to match the sound of the piano to the room – such as removing bass when playing on a wooden floor.

When not using the one touch option it is possible to layer up to 4 sounds across the keyboard, two each side of the split point. Each sound has a dedicated fader and on/off button which can be very useful in a live situation. In addition, when an external MIDI device is connected the piano can control 4 external channels via the same faders – by toggling between internal and external sounds.

 

 

All the sounds are crystal clear and a grouped sensibly. The two grand pianos and two electric pianos used for the one touch settings are excellent, and Roland is known for this. 

 

 

If you are after a portable and realistic-feeling piano action and an acceptable piano sound then this instrument is for you.
