Roland FP-10 – Compact 88-Note Digital Piano with SuperNATURAL Piano Tones and Authentic Acoustic Feel Keyboard | Simple to Use | Ideal for Home Use, Students and Learning Correct Techniques

Product Information

I would like to know if there are any good digital pianos that have a built-in MIDI velocity control (? Featuring 15 distinctive sounds, including six grand and upright pianos, convincing reverb and "brilliance" effects, and a polyphony of 96 voices - the Roland FP-10 is both versatile and expressive. We can even arrange to collect your old instrument at the same time as delivering your new portable piano. Correction (I cannot edit my comment) – part of my previous comment should read: “…pedal (sustain) and it is not continuous. That said, we would still put the Smart Scaled action ahead of some others in the class, such as Yamaha’s GHS action (featured in the Yamaha P-45 and P-125) and Korg’s Natural Weighted Hammer Action.

I can also say that the key weight of this keyboard is moderately heavier in feel than my upright Yamaha B2 acoustic piano so it does achieve a very realistic hammer action.

However, it’s important to mention that unlike its competitors, the FP-10 comes with a few extra elements (string resonance, key off resonance) added to the piano sound, making it more realistic, even though those things are quite subtle. When it comes to the core piano sound, as we often say at Merriam Pianos, it’s going to come down to a matter of personal preference. What's more, the white keys are finished with a moisture absorbing material which provides a comfortable playing experience - even in hot environments.Would you NOT recommend that they regularly get used for casual practice on a table/bed/etc because of the downward facing speakers (or would the sound still be good enough for solo practice)? In GarageBand you can fix that from MIDI velocity setting, in the others DAW adding a velocity filter, but I think that it should work in the right way without using any tricks.

Via the new Casio Music App for iOS and Android, which replaces the Chordana Play App, you’re also able to edit various sound-related parameters. In many cases in Japan people has less room at home than in the US I do understand from this point of view slimness is important. The cool thing is that you can connect to the app wirelessly via Bluetooth, which makes it very easy to do and doesn’t require any additional cables or adapters. The sound and feel of an acoustic grand Roland’s advanced piano technologies offer superior tone and touch that will satisfy the most experienced pianists.It would be nice to have dedicated Line Out jacks on this piano since it’s so portable and can easily be used for gigs. Users can fine-tune various parameters directly on the FP-10 or, more intriguingly, through an external app. With 88 weighted keys and a great all round action, I was very happy indeed with my time on the Roland FP-10. By the way, I do not have FP-10 anymore- I considered FP-30X but got A-88 mkII MIDI controller and use Pianoteq sound emulation. We recently compared it to the Yamaha P-125 which was a very interesting look, so the Roland FP10 is next on our list.

You may wonder how it is possible to have 32, 64, or even 128 notes playing at the same time, if there are only 88 keys and we never play them all at once. The Smart Scaled action is going to be just fine for beginner and intermediate players, but getting into more advanced classical repertoire will be difficult, and the differences between it and an acoustic piano action are more pronounced. The jack on the headphones that come in the bundle is too large for the dedicated headphones port on the back of the piano.

At the end of your contract when you've made your final payment, the instrument or equipment is all yours. Let’s take a look at some of the key differences (aside from sound and touch) between the FP-10 and its main competitors.
