Roland digital

[Peter Joris]

Hi,

I use a Roland RD-150 stage piano, I like it very much, it is not the same
as the real thing, but to make it portable it is one of the closest to a
piano and affordable options to get a piano on stage in comparison to a real
piano. The sounds are very usable and 64 notes polyphony is enough for me

I use only the piano 1, the strings and voice only layered to the piano.

Downside is that it has no build in speakers, but it is a plus that I have
to use external speakers which results in a nice rounder sound than most
stage pianos(keyboards) with build in speakers

But if I have the choice.....;-)

Peter Joris

I also have the FP5 and love it. I use it for composing and arranging,
linked to my laptop with Encore software. I also use it to write
multiple-instrument scores--recorded as midi, convert to WAV, convert to MP3
and you have backup orchestration you can play on a CD player without
lugging the keyboard (for singing at church, etc.)

I confess that I sold a 1920 Geo. Steck small grand (that I loved) to buy
this keyboard. Now, I have to save my pennies and shop for another nice
little grand. But I did it to connect to the computer and the keyboard IS
fun, no doubt about it.

I have a Roland FP5, and though quite happy with it  wonder what others use,

who like David & I ,  use portable digitals for performance gigs. ( ps . . 
easier to lug around than a real piano )
I'm happy with sounds I get, though find that after many years of playing, I

use mostly the #1piano voice with occasionally, some strings layered behind 
at about 30%.
Inquiring minds want to know.

I have a Roland keyboard I use for gigging.   It has a hammer shank & flange

type device for piano feel...doesn't really feel like a piano.   It has this

touch sensitivity which is nowhere like a piano.   If I have the choice of 
piano at the gig I take the piano....
