The perfect keyboard for truck drivers like myself!!! I would be able to practice and better my skills during my off duty time throughout the week!!! Massive sounds for such a budget friendly instrument!!! Thanks for this Roland!!! It's long overdue!!!🤘😎
Consider the Casio CT-S1 or the Casio CT-S400 depending on what features you want and what kind of music you play. Less pricey.
I pick up one of these and I'm blown away at the voice quality for the money! 😀
great walk through Andy!
It doesn't look like a starting point. Sounds really pro.
Great job! Great overview, thanx!
Very interesting😊
I have a question. You played the Styles by using I think, triad chords. Will one finger operation work to change from, for example G to C?
I get a gokeys3 last. I like it. It’s powerful and very useful.sounds great ❤
on the chord sequencer, can you set the length / number of measures for each chord? Can you set a time signature or key signature?
hello friend, sorry to bother you, i am considering buying this for standalone music creatin, is it possible to make multi track song / with more than 1 user track in a song? it is possible to add more tracks on user song later on keyboard?, i saw on one video that you can play your song and record at the same time adding new track with different tones/instruments to the song, can you confirm that? also can you make some user drum styles and use it "more user tracks workaround"? thanks
Does it have several electric piano/Fender Rhodes type sounds and 70’s organ/Hammond type sounds?
Eu li em algum lugar que o 5 tem mais opções de atualização
Is it multitimbral and in that case is it about the same system as with the MC's and the MV with limited channels (not 16)?
I'm a beginner, have a Yamaha P-515 but want something smaller and lighter to take onto my sailboat. Is this going to feel like a piece of junk in comparison?
So it's very different to original Go:keys, do I understand it correctly ? There every style had 7 drum tracks, 7 bass tracks, 7 chord tracks, which you could combine as you wanted. Here it is just ABCD for every style with mute ? Also how long is the chord sequencer. Please don't tell me it's 4 chords. Guess I have to download the manual ..
It is really strange calling souch a Keyboard a beginner keyboard. Actually what defines what is Pro & what is not Pro? If we look back 10 years then those Pro were worse than any beginner keyboard we have nowadays. Just philospohical question! I am getting GO KEYS 5 in a week because I need connectivity for the Studio but I think this kayboard is excellent. I don't know about touch response yet but I guess that is a questionable thing for any keyboard out there.
Exactly. It looks simple but have pro quantify sounds. I remember when the DX7 got out people said its not a Synthesizer because it have no sliders and many botons and they ware all wrong.
How is the MIDI interface?
This can't touch a Fantom. Any of them... They can brag all they want, but a pro keyboard will always be good. Motif, Triton, Fantom, any is way better. There's no cheap Ferrari.
@@rafaelcatarino8372 totally agree but there are loads of Skint would be Ferrari owners out here that could do with a bit of inspiration and inexpensive help along the way ! I’m fortunate enough to have arturia keyboards with software to back up but owning an expensive hardware synth ? Why would you ?
I’m a 65 year old that wants to look at my keyboard when I have minute and play some inspirational notes
@@DrewAgnew software it's great and it's come a long way the past few years. But nothing beats the punch of a great old horse we know very well and can take a bang :)
I'm Brazilian and for us the keyboards can cost double, if you pay 500 dollars for us it gets 1000 dollars is very expensive.
Same in Israel
A real MIDI OUT 5 pin din would have been extremely useful and convenient.
Yep, and make it sort of like a Yamaha MX40 synth/controller.
@@gbkny1 precisely 👍
Consider carefully what your needs are. The Casio CT-S1 and CT-S400 are less pricey, have velocity keys, almost semi-weighted action and the Casio AiX sound engine. Every newer model of keyboard has MIDI output. The big question is, do you or don't you have a use for the arranger features? All of the front-line brands are good. Depends on what you need.
The casio is at roland ex10 level
@@hussamasmar I looked up the Roland EX-10. It looks like a deal for the price and it might be a good competitor to the Casio CT-S300 0r the Yamaha PSR-E373. At the price point, there is no way it can be equal to the instruments I discussed. It could be the right instrument for a certain person though. Songwriters have different methods and so instrumentalists.
I have an 88-key keyboard and I have a Casio CT-S1 which I consider to be the best portable for my purposes.
Don't eff with people's heads. I wanted acoustic piano emulation and that's what I got. I'm not advanced either, although I understand chord progression thanks to some background earlier in my life, and I'm already composing songs.
What's right for any particular person is a delicate issue. Let people work it out.
I did order the previous Go Keys but I didn't like the fact you can't split the sound or layer up with a harmony like you can on other keys. Does it have the ability to be split?
Can split and layer
@@wpsam52 Thanks. I wish I had read the answer yesterday when you wrote it. I ended up buying a second hand Fantom instead. Let's hope it can work for me!
Full size keys?
obviously. where have you seen mini keys in 5 octaves? )) (except toy-synths)
Where can I get this piano, and what's the price.?
Sweetwater has them.
We used to have those in Woolworths, but they were called Bontempi organs.
And… does it transpose?
I've just ordered a GoKeys 5. I've owned a Yamaha DGX 670 for a few months and I love that keyboard but it weighs 50 lbs, quite a beast. I'm practicing with a couple of other groups at other locations and need this portable unit. I'm sure that John is a fabulous musician, but the presentation is rather deadpan and not terribly enthusiastic. I'm sure John would just rather be in his studio making music, but if you're presenting on RUclips, it's nice for the viewers if he acts a bit like he wants to be there. As far as information, I would've liked more a tutorial style... showing which buttons do what and zoom in on the screen information, that type of thing. Also, no demo of the mic effects, which if you're buying the GoKeys 5 is likely an important feature (it is for me).
How about you make a video demonstrating all the sounds and features once you get your keyboard in?
Yeah...but he's kind of a famous music geek so we ignore the deadpan style because it means we are getting one of the best experts in the field demonstrating! 😂
I am concerned about how to choose the sounds in the middle of a set on stage, would be nice to see how. On my old cheap $100 one (Yamaha i think?) it shows the sound numbers on the casing and has a number pad where you can type in a number and bring each sound right up. I'm afraid here i'll have to go into menu, tab back and forth and scroll through the sounds to select the next one? From another video i think there are presets you can set but only like 5? This keyboard seems like just what i need but i'm afraid to buy it and find that switching sounds is too much trouble!
After watching more i do appreciate that he demonstrated lots of other features and capabilities in a straightforward way.
What do you want, someone with a fake plastic smile being all "HEY, everyone!" LOL
@@tomminkler7640 Yes, it's one of its weak points, only 5 sounds to save. Agree, playing live you really need to know the keyboard sounds and how to find them with closed eyes. I've seen on critique of buyer on Thomann that pointed to the issue of taking time or interface/buttons not being intuitive to choose sounds quickly in a concert situation.
It's a bummer to only be able to save 5 sounds, why not 20 at least, from out of all the 1000 plus? Not great, but nothing is perfect, I hope they fix it next time. I heard people complaining of speakers could be louder and sometimes they rumble on low notes of piano and e.pianos (2 major important sounds for most of keys players I assume?), others don't point that issue... But to record ideas, songs and record on computer it's not bad, for playing live or street performance one can always connect to PA or small amplifier. The next best option for me it's the Yamaha ck61 (good keyboard, 61 keys with speakers), but it's too expensive (~650 euros) to spend and carry around being afraid to brake a more expensive keyboard.
I've seen that it also has an 8-track recorder that can store up to 99 songs and/or 30 000 notes, I guess that means one can layer/overdub instruments recording in one song project? Can one also be able to layer/add vocal track? It would be cool..
To my knowledge, for this price range, features and options I can't find a better deal than this. If someone knows better please say.
Whats with the chirps/blocks sound on the drum accents?? Can you edit these out....quite distracting...
The differences between the 3 and the 5 are so weird. Why not put normal line outs on a keyboard that costs a couple of hundred euro? Shouldn't that be standard on such a big device?
You have to consider what's really going on. They can create line out jacks that are just the headphone output rerouted. In that case, while you are gaining a little convenience, you are gaining nothing electronically. More sizzle, but no beef.
@@anonymike8280 What you are gaining is a more sturdy connection that won't get damaged so easily in a working studio like a small headphone jack.
@@TheWeazel01 Okay, you have a point. But you have to be ready to deal with condition. Make a rig. Tape it to stand so it doesn't get yanked and pulled. Just don't use Gorilla Tape. It's called Gorilla Tape for a reason.
@@anonymike8280 Of course you can come up with something to make it work. My thing is more that I'm surprised it doesn't have a decent line out. It's not expensive but it's also not a cheap toy. Just comes across as a sneaky choice by Roland to get you interested but still spend a 100 more than what you thought you were gonna spend.
@@TheWeazel01 @TheWeazel01 Actually, the price difference between The Roland Go series and other 61-key keyboard is enough that they should have line out even if it's on the same circuitry as the headphone jack. I have a Casio CT-S1, which is in the low $200 price range. The Casios and Yamahas in the price range are not toys either. I wanted a 61-key portable with good acoustic piano emulation and that's what I got.
I'm a good researcher. The Yamaha GO series is designed for and marketed to child and youth beginners. I concluded that it did not represent an improvement for my purposes over what I actually got.
I also have an 88-key keyboard. By the way, I'm not advanced at all. I do have songwriter capabilities thanks to some literary ability and a good sense of chord progressions. I'm not capable as an instrumentalist at all.
Roland piano sound hasn’t changed much since 30 years or so.
Looks like he's hooked up to external speakers
I remember looking at this at the retail music store. They didn't make it all that attractive. IT was just sitting in a stack of cardboard boxes with one sitting open. Looks like an advance Casio clone by Roland. LOL. Glad Roland has come around to making an affordable 'workstation' Roland should have done a better job with the style. It's very boring looking at face value. Doesn't tell the store of what lives inside there!
