![]() To your ear and mine, that sounds terribly close to the sound variations of an acoustic piano.Īnd it doesn’t stop at that. The SuperNATURAL sound engine uses modeling technology to smooth out the differences between different tonal variations of the notes to render a seamless transition. This is where the difference starts between most digital pianos and Roland’s. Because each note has an entire tonal range to it, depending on the way you action a key, the manufacturers have to record multiple samples in order to reproduce that feeling of playing an acoustic piano. Most digital pianos produce sound with the help of samples. The big difference between the way Roland digital pianos produce sound and others do, is the method that stays at the foundation of sound production. Some more evolved models have, besides this sound engine, a separate one for certain sounds. This sound engine is present on most of Roland’s digital pianos. The sound engine that creates the sound of the FP-30 is the, by now very popular, SuperNATURAL sound engine. Connectivity: USB to Device/Host, Bluetooth 4.0, sustain jack, 2 headphone jacks. ![]() Damper resonance, string resonance, key off resonance.Weighted 88-key keyboard with PHA-4 hammer action and simulated ivory key tops.So, some people might consider this control panel not fancy enough, so to say, but it works great, and in my opinion it has a certain appeal to it. But any way, most digital pianos in this price range work like that. And it does, at the beginning, until you get used to all of the combinations. When thinking about it, it might seem as something complicated, which needs a learning curve. It usually takes a button and key combination to access some of the functions from the menu. To me it seems as an orderly design, completely clutter free with a nice row of illuminated buttons.Īs mentioned above, this piano has a clutter free control panel, with a single row of 13 buttons which grant access to all the functions. If you live in a condo and space is at a premium, or you thought about placing it in a smaller room of the house, it fits right in your expectations.īecause Roland puts this model into their stage piano category, and keeping its compact dimensions in mind, I think it’s safe to say that it’s a good choice for musicians who need to move their piano around a lot.Īn aspect where the FP-30 is showing great improvement over its predecessor is the overall looks. It’s really compact enough to fit in most small places. The dimensions of this piano are 51.2″ x 11.9″ x 5.9″. It’s a little heavier than the alternatives, but not so much as to make a considerable difference. With all the technology installed on it, the weight is ideal for you to be able to move it from a location to another with relative ease. And the FP-30 is probably the most portable of them all. ![]() The FP line of digital pianos by Roland has been designed to be first and foremost portable. ![]()
