Roland Fp-30X Digital Piano, The Super-Popular Portable Piano—Upgraded (Black)

Product Information

And, this actually caught me off guard and almost hurt my ears; I connected the iPad, started playing a backing track, and it was insanely loud so I quickly tried to adjust the volume on my iPad, and it didn’t work! But what if your needs are NOT the same as mine and YOU actually DO want Roland’s heavier more realistic piano action, and their Supernatural sound engine?

You’re given 3 options: off (the speakers are shut off), stand (the sound is optimized for when the keyboard is placed on a stand), desk (the sound is optimized for when the keyboard is placed on a table). These sounds aren’t exactly impressive, but they are well-suited for layering or splitting across the keyboard. With the FP-X series, our most advanced sound engines meet ultra-responsive keyboards in stylish, mobile cabinets. The Roland FP-30X, shown here in its black version, is a solidly built digital piano that delivers a pleasing sound thanks to its high-quality features. The default velocity curves (controlling the relation of your playing dynamics to overall volume) felt perfect for me, but Roland offers 5 different preset settings if you want to fine-tune the dynamic response to suit your playstyles.For people who require a lot of control, and would rather skip the hassle of fanning through the manual, this app will work. So if you’re accustomed to playing acoustic pianos, then this action is going to feel more realistic than a dual sensor action like Yamaha’s GHS action, or Casio’s smart scaled hammer action. if all you want to do is just sit down and play piano, the FP-10 DOES have the same action so that might be enough for you, and can save you some money. We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. Furthermore, using the sustain pedal, sound effects (Reverb, Chorus), dual-mode (layering), and even the metronome ticking sound take up additional notes of polyphony.

Take things further and use Bluetooth MIDI to connect to music composition apps like Roland’s Zenbeats or Apple’s GarageBand. Plus, you can always fine-tune the sound to your liking with parameters like ambiance and brilliance. But all that being said, I also VERY rarely play on acoustic pianos, so to me, having an action that mimics an acoustic piano as close as possible . SPECIAL OFFER: For a limited time, Roland is offering three free months of access to Skoove - an online learning platform.What better present to give friends or relatives on their birthday than to play them a birthday song - ideally an original composition?

Unfortunately, the app itself is a little bit hard to use, and could probably be improved with a better user interface. If you want to hear the presets, the FP-30X comes with 30 built-in songs, and some demo songs linked to the presets (perfect for quick auditioning of presets in their ideal use-case). Behind the authentic feel and playability is Roland’s powerful SuperNATURAL sound engine, picking up all the nuances of experienced pianists and helping newer players develop more character and dynamics.
