My main digital piano for many years was a Roland RD 300 GX.I liked many things about it...I liked the action very much plus it had a couple of my favorite Rhodes sounds. The main piano sample was called Superior Grand and to me it sounded generally better than much of what is out there Most of the time it made me feel that zI didn't need to switch or upgrade. I played it from about 2010 until recently when several key contacts when out at once. So cut to the chase ..a Roland FP4 became available near me. I have never heard one . It is a bit of a drive to where it is Also...I recently heard an RD700GX and couldn't believe how much I liked it! But the action on that was a little tough. So I am curious if the Roland FP4 has enough similarity to the RD300 GX to be worth a look. -
Nailed it. It's not even a burned bridge - you've done everything that you could reasonably be expected to do. "I hope this is helpful, but I appreciate that everyone has personal preferences on this kind of thing". Cheers, Mike. -
Kind of the bleak end of Yacht Rock. (And I don't mean that in a pejorative sense). Cheers, Mike.

Thanks, everyone! We had a very good day, with time in the backyard, and a nice family walk where we met another new neighbor dog, and so made another new friend. That's one of the best parts of their day, meeting a new dog friend. Big week coming up, with landscaping, packing Artworks for shipment, and then a local Music festival on the weekend. No rest for the wicked . . .

I remember seeing the ads in Keyboard and a picture of the Odyssey on the Musicians Friend catalog. I really wanted one but ended up with the MiniMoog because it was available. In the late 70's you didn't have a lot of choices in a small rural town. Was very interested when this came out but reviews of the horrible touch pads scared me away. Wish it had more jacks for interfacing with the Behringer 2600. Still, maybe someday. Wonder how it compares to the Korg version? -
Carlo, you make that Oddy sound fabulous! I have a black-face Oddy and Axxe in my garage, have had both since the '80's, and both need new sliders, probably new caps, and a ton of cleaning. But hearing you play it made me feel nostalgic for that sound! Given the price of the Behringer, it'll probably be cheaper to just buy a new one than to fix mine. -

OT - just a comment on the original white face Oddy - I modified mine so I had an octave up/down switch. Also changed the pitch knob to one which had a notch sticking out so that I could curl my little finger round it and be confident that I could return it to the neutral position. And I managed to rewire the modulation slider on the first oscillator so that the second oscillator modulated too. It was all very ambitious of me, with not much real understanding of what I was doing, but it worked nicely. i hung onto it for years, only selling it off about 10 years ago. Nowadays I occasionally use the app on the iPad. It’s close enough for me.
