Dana. Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just a quick note to say that I was able to play a Roland A-88 today and can confirm that it does not exhibit the same "broken" feeling that I've experienced playing the RD-300NX and FP-4F (all three are supposed to share the Ivory Feel-G action). Can't explain why this is, but it bodes well for the RD-64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ferris Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I thought it was weird they didn't have any RD-64s to play at NAMM. Probably too soon to have anything but a few prototypes hangin' around I guess. No matter. No way 64 notes would ever work for me. If they update the 700/300 model in the Fall I'd at least wanna play it to check 'em out. I think its been 3 years in the Fall since the NXs came out ? https://soundcloud.com/dave-ferris https://www.youtube.com/@daveferris2709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonksDream Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Dave - I would have sworn the NXs couldn't be that old until I looked at my KC signup date. I joined when I was looking for info for a new DP in 2008. And the NXs came out a couple of years after I bought my GX so 3 years is spot on. Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosendorphen Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Gee the last 64 note piano Roland had was the MP-600 back in the late 70s. I had one, great action and inexpensive (and lighter) compared to the Yamaha CP30. Those extra 3 keys beyond the standard 61 really helped, particularly having a low E. Didn't miss the high keys above G much.

David Loving Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 perfect size, IMO. We're always on small stages. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta believe Roland realized they missed the boat with the action on the NX and 4F, so I would expect the new generation to be better.
