Quality of design and construction Both the Roland FP-E50 and Yamaha DGX-670 have sleek, modern designs, but there are some notable differences in build quality. The Roland FP-E50 has a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to transport and store, while the Yamaha DGX-670 is larger and heavier, giving it a more solid and robust feel. Conclusion Based on our comparison between the Roland FP-E50 and Yamaha DGX-670, we found that both digital pianos offer high quality sound and a wide range of features. However, there are important differences between the two that may make them better suited for certain users. The Roland FP-E50 is more compact and portable, making it a good choice for those who need to carry their instrument frequently. The Yamaha DGX-670, on the other hand, has more advanced connectivity options and a wider range of built-in voices and accompaniment styles. In terms of price, the Roland FP-E50 is typically more expensive than the Yamaha DGX-670. Ultimately, the choice between these two digital pianos will depend on the user's needs and specifications. Those who prioritize portability and a more streamlined interface may prefer the Roland FP-E50, while those who value a wider range of features and connectivity options may prefer the Yamaha DGX-670.
In this video, how are you capturing the sound of the Yamaha. If I mic mine I get a much more quality sound thru the PA. If I run it direct to PA or Roland keyboard amp, the bass notes and drums are very good but keyboard generated notes are poor quality. No one from Yamaha or the store professionals have been able to help me. When I perform it requires me to mic the piano speakers for over all quality sound. I really appreciate all of your videos. Thank you so much. Rod
I have a question for you. I have read that with Yamaha dgx 670 Is possible record a multitrack Song ...( 16 track ) Is possible too with Roland fpa 50?? Another question. The Yamaha have The vocal harmonizer like a Roland ?? Grazie
I’m really swaying towards the FP50, but there’s a lot of negative attention towards the PHA4. Is there anything to be concerned about? Is Roland looking into any of these complaints?
I’ve had mine for about a month and really like the PHA4 key action. I bought this without being able to try it first as there were no stores near me that had this on hand. I got mine from Sweetwater and knew I could return if not totally satisfied but I really like it. This is my first ever Roland. I sold my Kawai ES110 which has a much lighter action than the PHA4. The PHA4 action is much quieter than the RHC action on the Kawai was. The PHA4 was a stiffer action and took me about a week to get used to but now I really like it. It actually softens up a little after breaking it in as Stu mentions in his full comparison video. It’s much closer to how a real acoustic piano feels. I’ve tried the GHS action that is on the DGX670 and hated it. I feel like the PHA4 action is MUCH better and Stu, who’s opinion I value very much, even said he feels that the PHA4 action is the best on anything under $1,000. I would agree. I have had no issues with the action and feel it is great for playing fast or slower more dynamic pieces of music. I love the FP E50. It’s really a great instrument with lots of great features for the price and the ZENCORE sounds are terrific and expandable as well. Hope this information is helpful. Happy playing.
The PHA4 has been in use for years, I'm not sure why people are complaining now. Personally I found it okay, but after using the NWX, most keys feel like toys (Yamaha was smart making it the heaviest action on the market, because everything else feels like synth keys after.
Na ja, ich finde beide nicht überzeugend: bei Yamaha ein umgebautes Gehäuse mit Keyboard Sounds (wahrscheinlich ein SX-600 oder frühere Modelle), bei Roland ists schwieriger, die haben da ja nichts mehr dergleichen produziert, wahrscheinlich eine BK-Serie oder noch früher - vermute also bei beiden irgendwie eine Resteverwertung, wobei Roland natürlich das modernere Bedienkonzept hat - aber leider für uns ländliche Bewohner nicht testbar im normalen Musikalienhandel. Dieser existiert ja eigentlich nicht mehr, und sich solche "Monster" schicken zu lassen, ist zwar möglich, aber eine eventuelle Rücksendung äußerst umständlich, da das Instrument vom Handel nicht kostenlos abgeholt wird ... und vor allem kann man Online nicht die Lautsprecher- und Verstärkerqualität bewerten (2 x 6 Watt bei Yamaha, immerhin 2 x 11 Watt)
@@Marco__M The grand piano sounds are far better on the Yamaha, especially when run through a PA. More voices on the Y. The flexibility of the instruments and accompaniment is far better. Bigger display. You can deep dive into the menus and the options for constructing your sounds, beats, effects are endless. The ability to see your playlists and moving them is easy once you learn them. I could go on. It’s heavier, but there is a reason why it’s heavier. More well constructed. The speakers on the Y blow the speakers on the Roland outta the water. Trust me, it’s a better keyboard. I could go on forever. I’ve performed with the Yamaha several times. The live sound when running through a PA is rich and realistic, especially the saxophone sound and the nylon guitar sound. People were blown away. Go with the Yamaha.
@@chuckfriebe843 I was sure at this point about to go straight on the Roland (also for the price, a bit cheaper) but now you mixed everything again in my head. I kinda hate you because of the doubts you created, but thank you for telling your experience!

👍👍👍
I would buy the DGX before the Roland. It would fit my use cases better. It may not be “better” but I would go with it anyway. It’s better for me.
It weighs 60 pounds

I play both, and yamaha dgx 670 is a lot better than Roland
You have both arrangers?
I have a question for you.

Is possible too with Roland fpa 50??
Another question. The Yamaha have The vocal harmonizer like a Roland ??

Roland -design👍👍👍 Yamaha - style, sound🔥🔥

I'm also leaning towards the FP-E50

@@32NinerBravo Hey. Thanks for taking the time to write. Your reply put me at ease. Thanks again.

Yamaha WIN !
My ears can distinguish DGX concealed 12bit from Roland's 16bit sound quality.
cual es mejor ??
Yamaha by far!

Roland é tem teclas, timbres e amplificadores melhores .
The Roland FP-E50 is a piece of crap. I just return it to the music store and replaced it with the Yamaha DGX670. Worlds apart.
Please offer four features you find better with the DGX over the Roland.
Any argumentation?
