    Exemplary!!! I will be purchasing the Go Keys because it will get the job done and then some, for a way too cheap price, amazingly enough. The only big turnoff for these two products is that they are calling them "entry level" keyboards, which I totally disagree with. They are way better than any entry keyboard I have ever seen, and for the price, I almost thought it was too good to be true. Plus, that red color is amazing!!! Thank you so much for the amazing demo!!!

    These keyboards are the best I've seen in the budget range. Look ideal for rehearsals at people's houses. I'd love to take my 88-key Nord Stage 3 to every gig, but I haven't got Lou Ferrigno as my roadie! You say the GO-PIANO has a slightly better sound - I guess it has organs, electric pianos but fewer sounds than Go Keys. Does it have piano plus pad sounds? I love the tacky 1980s (look in an endearing sort of way) of the GO Keys keyboard though. The sampling feature looks fun, but not something I'd necessarily be looking for. Thanks for the video -very informative!

      Mark, I'm not here to argue or fight with you Bob in my opinion in my humble opinion it's not a keyboard a simple keyboard it's all piano it's a piano! My girlfriend the other day refer to my piano as a keyboard and I got very very hurt I said he is not a keyboard he is a piano and you probably wondering why I called him and he, it's because I named him after my favorite piano player and favorite singer! After all, if Elton John can name his pianos why can't I! Have fun with your piano!

    I prefer the go piano especially for someone who’s trying to learn the piano itself. All that extra stuff just sounds a bit too much besides I like to hear the piano sound by itself. That just sounds like someone who gets bored fast and wanna play around with sounds. Thanks for showing us the difference. I will be purchasing the Roland go piano for my daughter for Christmas, once she masters that, then I will upgrade her to a full size 88 key piano with full weight keys and a more upscale version piano. But for now thank you for this. I’ve made my decision

    Hi, nice review! I'm thinking of buying the GO:KEYS to use in my band, however I was wondering about the output and how it sounds connected to a PA/digital mixer? I noticed the ouput is on 1/8 rather than a 1/4 jack. Have you tried connecting the output to powered speakers and/or a digital mixer, and what was the sound quality like? Were there any audio artifacts? Also, can the speakers be switched off when it's connected to external speakers?

    Great review! Just a couple of questions, though. Does either instrument have an octave change function to access higher and lower notes and would you say they're worth buying to gig with if you're on a budget? All I have right now is a MIDI controller and a laptop which I'd rather not be taking to bars with me!

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад +5

      Hey Scott thanks for your comment. Yes both of them have an octave shift function. they can do -3 or +3 and all the increments in-between. Only draw back is that from what we've seen this has to be done in menu and isn't on a dedicated button. However if you left that menu window open the + and - keys would still remain functioning for that purpose. possibly a little fiddly though. These are definitely a but step up from a generic midi controller especially at this low price, and would be a better option or gigging. the go piano has the edge on better sound quality but its a minimal difference and the keys has a lot more to play with for creating on the spot. once plugged into a PA they sound great and are very expressive. add a sustain pedal and everything sounds perfect. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

It has around 500 sounds whereas the Go:Piano only has 40. they both have organ and piano sounds, but only the Go:Keys really has synth sounds. Plus it has the ability to affect those sounds with the touch panels. hope that helps and thanks for watching!

    Hello, great video. I would just like to ask if go piano has nice synth and pad sounds? Because I can notice go keys has a lot but I'm not sure if Go piano has as many as the go keys.

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад +2

      Rebeca Ramírez hi rebeca. Thanks for your comment. You’re right the go keys has so many more sounds than the go piano. The go piano doesn’t feature synth and pad sounds so it would be the go keys you would need if they are the sounds you are looking for. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

    This is the only review / description I've seen that says the keys are 'semi-weighted'. What does this mean exactly? I want more than just 'touch sensitive' as it stated in Roland's product spec. Semi-weighted sounds like what I need. I have a full size digital piano already with fully weighted keys, I'm looking to get keys with a bit of the weighted feel that it has.

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Mark, thanks for your comment and hope the review was useful to you. Essentially we see it this way. The keys are not the traditional synth style thin keys you would see on boards of this size, portability and price point. Roland have opted for the full size 61 piano keys on both Go:Piano and Go:Keys which we think is cool and makes you feel more comfortable as it looks like a proper piano board. The keys are touch sensitive and you can change the sensitivity to be lighter or heavier in the menus so digitally. But due to them having more piano style keys we feel this adds to it. It all feels more grown up that it normally would for something like this, the key bed is much better designed and that communicates through to the way it feels under the hands. We would happily gig with one etc as they feel great. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

    • @kollinkay

      Yes, on the back of the keyboard there is a plugin for Phones/Output. All you need is an instrumental cable that runs into your interface then into you DAW. It will be coming in as audio not MIDI.

    I have the GO:KEYS the keys do NOT have a semi weighted action. They are not weighted at all made from very thin hollow plastic, I've had it apart to replace the contact pads that are also cheaply made. There is nothing authentic about this keyboard. I also have a Kawai MP8 that has real keys and real hammers totally different leagues. The GO:KEYS is made very cheaply.
    What the GO:KEYS is a light weight portable keyboard powered by batteries with nice sounds for entry level fun. It is only best if you are traveling or on the move.
    In comparison a weighed action keyboard weighs 50 kilogrammes and isn't portable. However the sounds are much, much higher quality and action superior.

    I recently bought the Go Keys and am really enjoying it. For anyone who is a bit of a keyboard novice like myself i think it is worth mentioning that if you go to the settings and set "GM2 TONE" to ON (why oh why is this OFF by default?!?!) you will gain access to a lot more sounds. Some really excellent sounds on there like the xylophone, harpsichord, 60s organ, steel guitar etc (some seem like slightly more stripped down variations of the default tones, while others - woodwinds for example - are otherwise absent) that i didnt realise were on there until id already had the keyboard for about a week! (Doh!).

    I'm in a rock band in highschool, guitar is my main, but i'm the only one who can play keyboard, i'm a semi decent player but can't afford anything too expensive as i'm still fairly young, these roland go's look quite good for a budget. my previous keyboard had broke, and we're performing 'don't stop me now' by queen. What one would you reccomend, keys or piano? I'm not looking to use midi or produce anything on a software if that helps. Thanks

    • @johnlouis3873
      @johnlouis3873 5 лет назад

      I have the Go Keys and there are a good range of piano, organ, synth sounds etc. The loop part is not like playing an arranger keyboard though as it is based on one chord. If you try to change chords with the chord button activated it doesn't sound right, but you can play along with the right hand. However, if you're just playing the sounds without the beats, you can get some great synth, piano organs etc. when played through a keyboard amp. The built in speakers are ok for practice, but not great. Overall, good for the low price paid.

      Innes T great question. They are technically unweighted keys. They are digitally weighted but do feel slightly more weighty than normal keyboard keys. Roland quality is top notch even on this budget line.

  • @oscarmeyer5652
    @oscarmeyer5652 6 лет назад +1

    Hey nice review! It's just that i've seen other reviews where it is said that the keys on the GO:Piano are not really weighted, and that they no not feel very "real". I've been searching for a practicing piano, and i want nice sounds, so i thaught this might be the one. But it just needs to have good keys. I know it's asking a lot from a 200 pound keyboard but yea. Anyways i wonder how the built in speakers are?

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад

      Oscar Meyer Hi Oscar. Thanks for getting in touch. This is possibly the most questioned area of these products. And you’re right it is asking a lot from a £250 board, and someone people think it should have real weighted keys and feel like a real piano. It’s just not going to happen that way. We like the keys and they are weighted to an extent and touch sensitive. For us it would make an ideal practice piano but it’s all personal preference. I would suggest taking a trip down to your local Roland dealer and trying one out. See if it works for you and if it does then it’s a winner. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад

      In terms of the built in speakers we think they are also good for the size and price of the instrument and would sound fine for practicing at home etc. The manage to give a full and realistic account of the sounds in the piano

    Hello, a question here. I see that Go:Keys have more sounds to choose from than Go:Piano and the keybed is exactly the same, so what's the advantage of Go:Piano over Go:Keys? Are the piano sounds presets better on it or is there something else I don't take under consideration?

    • @jammstudiosmusic
      @jammstudiosmusic  6 лет назад +17

      Hi Dominik, thanks for your question. you're right in principle, theres little between them, they have the same keys and weighting, and have much the same functionality. The main difference is that the Go:Keys can plays parts, 8 loop parts and 8 keys parts. it also has the addition of the performance pads to shape the sounds, and increased effects. (worth noting only reverb can be edited). The main draw back is the Go:Piano can do MIDI over bluetooth whereas the Go:Keys can't. theres actually 2 versions of the Go:Keys GO-61K and GO-61KL. the latter has no bluetooth capabilities at all. The Go:Piano also has a metronome that isn't present on the Go:Keys. All in all, we think the idea is that the Go:Piano is a more direct practice instrument for pianists whereas the Go:Keys is more of a production tool with more options for quick creation. hope that helps and thanks for watching.

    Very nice review. I have a quick question., can you layer sounds in Both these model, eg. . Piano + string or pads or other sounds and control the volumes , octave of the second layer?. Lastly, you mentioned that the keys on the go piano are semi weighted and on the go keys are unweighted, will I feel that difference if I played both without knowing or seeing or is it just the impression that comes from knowing "piano" and seeing black color piano?. Thanks in advance
