What do you need the RD2000 do differently? I have one and I don't find any real drawbacks. Now we even have tha Grand German expansion. Functionality is good, keybed is good... if you need something else, the Fantom 8 is the next step.
how to combine with another keyboard using a midi cable? I have a Roland E-A7, for the accompaniment I want to put it on the left key until the split mark of the E-A7, the right key is for the default sound from the RD-08. can it be like that?
I just bought the RD 88 piano. I have some questions. Might there be a firmware update to ensure all the sampled sounds have the same volume level? It's really annoying that the sounds I like the most are the quietest ones yet some sounds like Clavs are more like the volume level I'd prefer to hear. Also, since the RD 88 EX has now come out, would the update from RD 88 to RD 88 EX be an extra set of sounds, leaving the originals as they were or would the update be a complete over-write of the firmware? And possibly fixing the first 'issue' I mentioned? Thanks.
I wonder if the RD-08 has some feature or advantage that the RD-88 doesn't have. Conversely, is the RD-88 better than the RD-08? The price difference is not big.
As I read some review on RD-08 and I owned RD-88, I'd say no....there is no spec advantage on RD-08 to RD-88. It's more like RD-88 is a big bro of RD-08, like a comparison between RD-700nx and RD-300nx. RD-88 and RD-08 are based on the same ZEN Core technology which derived from the Fantom and have the same number of tone inside. However, RD-88 can make a preset of 400 scene in total while RD-08 is limited to only 100 (But it's not gonna be a big deal on a live performance....imao, we don't even use more than 20). What can be more important to consider are the knobs which RD-88 has more knobs and they are more assignable while RD-08 has less and they are quite fixed. Moreover, RD-88 has a capability to be used as a DAW control while RD-08 hasn't (But it won't be a problem if you don't use DAW or just focus on a live performance or a rehearsal). RD-08 will be a bit cheaper than RD-88. That's what I understand. Anyone can fix me if there is any mistake on my reply.
I would buy it at once with 73 keys, because i don‘t have the Space in my little Homerecording Studio. So it seems i have to go for the Studiologic Numa X 73.
Yes! There's a dedicated button on the front panel to activate and deactivate the on-board speakers. Nice that you can do this quickly without sorting through menus. The onboard speakers are convenient for practice and sound quite good for their size, but can be easily turned off when using a larger sound system. Thanks for watching!
@@kraftmusic Thank You! For someone like me who plays Jazz and R&B without a lot of synthesized sounds this keyboard can save me a lot of money from buying more expensive keyboards that have more than I need.I'm going to your website now,
This is the one for me. I'm not a pro but want to feel like one without spending much.
Espetacular, meu sonho de consumo.
Awesome release by Roland!
Totally agree, Roland created a super portable, afordable, and great sounding stage piano here. Thanks for watching!
Good job Roland, but please update the RD 2000

@@naomiigashima9443 Thank you very much Naomi!
I have an RD88. I don't like the thickness. It looks ugly on the stage. But what is the difference between RD88?
I would buy it at once with 73 keys, because i don‘t have the Space in my little Homerecording Studio. So it seems i have to go for the Studiologic Numa X 73.
Its that semi weighted ?
Which keybed is better between roland rd08 and yamaha ck88?
rd08
Trimmed rd88
Can I shut the speakers off?
Yes! There's a dedicated button on the front panel to activate and deactivate the on-board speakers. Nice that you can do this quickly without sorting through menus. The onboard speakers are convenient for practice and sound quite good for their size, but can be easily turned off when using a larger sound system. Thanks for watching!

How about smooth sound transition ?
Yes, 100% smooth sound transition. You can switch between patches with no cutoff.@@jhon1349
Kawai ES520 acoustic piano sounds are better .
Muito top esse piano, som lindo e super compacto, amei
