i still consider the FP-10 because i want it more portable and btw i'm a professional pianist not an amateur and as long as they feel the and play the same it's not a problem for me and i can still hook the FP-10 in to monitor speakers so i don't care about the smaller speakers
One great feature of the FP-30 over the FP-10 is the ability to play along with .wav audio files through the USB Memory (Type A) port (~8:30 in vid). USB "play" controls cycle through songs on your flash drive & song volume is controlled using the "ambience" controls. Songs come through the piano's speakers (or headphone jack) in stereo & you can play along with them. For MIDI recording, however, only your piano playing part will be sent through the USB Computer (Type B) port. Great feature on the FP-30 - it's like having a line in jack through USB port. It will only work with .wav files, not mp3. The FP-10 uses it's USB Type A port for updates only.
@@Dariocomposer With the FP-30 I cannot obtain full velocity from 0 to 127. But I don't know which digital piano can. Anyway, I am satisfied with the range of velocities I obtain and I use it for classical music that needs a good velocity dynamics.
I must say review video of the same products done by Jamie at Andertson was so fun to watch. Literally that's why I bought my FP-10. It's funny how the same person can be so different at different locations. ( Yes, I'm talking about Remie )
Mellow? While Roland's SuperNATURAL piano sound isn't overly bright, I think it's quite dynamic and strident compared to those of rival digital pianos. I mean that in a good way, as it makes me feel like I'm listening to a real Steinway Model D concert grand, but I'd hardly call it mellow.
I've seen professional pianists saying that few are able to play pieces that would require more than 96 poliphony. Both of these are intended for begginers, It might be the case that even 64 is enough.
Great review. The escapement aka double escapement is the mechanism that prepares that note to be repeated in quick succession. It means the note doesn't have to fall right back into its seated position and is ready to be played again. The little let-off sensation you feel is merely just an accepted side effect. The term escape comes from where the Jack 'escapes' the knuckle. Open up your piano and check it out!! Mainly Grands, but uprights do have versions of these!
The FP-30 is hands down the best bang for buck digital piano on the market right now. It feels the best out of the P-45 and the CASIO equivillents with all the same or more features. Weighted, graded, hammer action ivory feel with a far more advanced sound engine with a 3 trigger sensor, plus it's fully compatible with tri pedal setups. Go in to a store and try one for yourself. It feels great in comparison to the others. Also, I don't know if it was just my own experience, but the FP-30 felt slightly heavier to the touch than the FP-10. Try both. Compare with the P-45 and CASIO equvillents. Unless you want entry level stage option and find a PX-5S (it's totally boss, with a way better rhodes sound) You'll walk out with a FP-30.
Thanks for the info. I've played guitar for many years and would like to learn how to play the piano as well. I've been thinking of buying an FP-30, which will cost me the equivalent of $700 U.S here in Sweden.
@@hugomikaelsson4055 nice! I'm the same. Can't play piano to save my life, but guitarist for 15 years. Try all the keyboards in your budget that you can find. I'm almost certain you'll walk out with an FP-30.
@@Seamus_Dolan I tried both in the shop recently. Have kind of changed my mind. The FP10 and FP30 do feel different though. I prefer the feel of the FP30 as the keys are slightly heavier.
I saw the Roland girl on the thumbnail and thought ”oh no it’s another one of those where the guy tries to constantly flirt with her and its super awkward and weird to watch”, but the channel name here looked different to what I remember the other one being so I decided I’d watch this. Much more informative because this is actually about the keyboard and not about the distracting relationship between the people.
Just got the FP10, I cannot speak for the FP30, but I think you'll be slightly underwhelmed by the speakers on the FP10..maybe if they had them facing upwards instead of downwards it would help a little? Just slightly missing the mark on the speakers I think. Hook it up to a pair of speakers and its great. The size and the action are amazing...I can fit it in my walk in closet/practice room if I absolutely wanted. Included pedal get's the job done if you don't have anything else and the stand is great for maybe books but I don't think it's great for stand alone sheet music..I'd just use a regular stand for that. It's really aimed at beginners like myself who want hammer action in a digital piano.

@Philip Snegirov NO, idiot, stop spreading misinformation. FP-30 can PLAY wav audio files from the flash drive but CANNOT RECORD them, just midi files.
Please clarify whether you are talking about USB-to-host (left-port, computer) connection or directly to a USB flash drive (memory port). When I first heard "audio" I thought they were talking about the computer port but I'm guessing they meant otherwise.
@@kbach6524 USB-to-host is only for MIDI communication. Memory port is for several things: 1) upgrade firmware, 2) recording your performance in MIDI format ONLY on a flash drive, 3) to play MIDI files and WAV (audio) files you have in your flash drive. What you CANNOT do is record your performance in WAV audio file in your flash drive like Remi says on the video.
@@walterbova7205 What do you want to do ? If you want your song with the FP30 piano sound you don't need a midi file. You just have to record the headphone output. If you want your playing to sound with another piano sound you have to record the song in midi file format in the FP30. Then you transfer the midi file to the flash drive. Then you transfer it to a PC. Then you import it in a piano software instrument in a DAW and then you convert it to a WAV file. I recommend Galaxy Vintage D. I use it in Cubase. There are many piano software and DAW, some free.
There are couple of important points not discussed here. 1. Polyphony (96 vs 128) 2. FP30 has onboard accompaniment rhythms that FP10 does Not. Also not discussed if the FP10 can accomplish the accompaniment rhythms feature via bluetooth and ipad+app. 3. I have also read that FP10 can receive only 3 levels of sustain information from the optional more advanced pedal. The FP30 have many levels, depending how you press it.
@@h.p.734 Polyphony is the number of tones the instrument can play/sound at one time. 96 (FP-10) would be enough for someone starting out, but it adds up quickly when you start layering sounds like piano + strings. Each "note" then counts as two tones. One of my older digital pianos has 64, and notes start dropping off running arpeggios (piano "rolls") or other complex phrases while holding the sustain pedal. Some instruments run higher than 128 (256). "Note" that polyphony often follows computer multiples (64, 96, 128, 256) !!
Hi Sam ! Thank you for this nice review with "Remie from Roland". It made me buy the FP-10 ;-) One question : in the demo I see that the volume is set to max (with the DP connected to your recording system)... Is that the optimal level when connecting to external amplification (in my case, directly to a pair of Prodipe Pro 8 V3 studio monitors) ?
The quick rule of thumb is to have the levels set about the same on all instruments. If you find that your amplifier is in the 40% or the 75% range, then you would pull down the keyboard and up the amplified until they are about equal. That gives you optimal control on both to make adjustments and keeps you in the happy range of the gain.
But, how to record the audio? There are no audio outputs, and the bluetooth function seems to be only for MIDI. Maybe I can use the phone output and use a cable which splits it into right and left and plug those into the audio interface(?)
Question! 8:35 so both record audio. FP-10 into a USB stick only correct? In the differences's table at the end (10:55), it says the FP-10 cannot record. So, which is it? I'm confused
What is the physical process to connect other speakers rather than rely on the down firing internal speakers? Is it just a matter of disconnecting the speaker leads from the internal speakers, lengthening them and connecting them to the externals, without an extra amp? I have a pair of reasonably efficient speakers sitting idle...
yes you can extend cables from the internet speakers and use it on external speakers, headphone out will need an extra amp, but you can make a headphone jack at back of the piano to connect external speakers without needing an extra amp.
I bought the fp30 5 months ago after comparing the keybed to the kawai es110 and some yamahas because it had the most weighted keys. Heavier than my upright piano but the others were far more lighter than my piano so the fp30 seemed to me the closest to a piano. What a surprise today... at the same store with the same model i put my fingers on the fp30 and the keys were way lighter than mine! A close friend used to play my fp30 was at the store and i havnt said anything to him except to play something and at the first stroke to a key he noticed the change too. Im now looking for an answer. Maybe roland has changed the weight of the keys because people were complaining about the fp30 being too hard to press i remember. But i want to contrast if people with older fp30 feel the keys as heavy as me. The yamaha (p45 or the newer one maybe) today had heavier keys than the fp30 at the store. But my fp is heavier than the yamaha. The new fp30 was easier to play but I prefer the feel of mine... but im very surprised and looking for an explanation. Two items of the same model cant be so different if it isnt a design thing...
My FP30 bought more than a year ago feels heavy compared to the Kawaii ES110, Yamaha P45, P115, P125. But I prefer it like that. I haven't played an FP30 in a store since then so I cant see if it has changed.
How is the fp30 a beginner piano? It has nice weighted keys and escapement. They keep emphasizing its beginner and "entry level" but the features on the fp30 with escapement isnt the entry level by any means into good digital pianos. This can go well into intermediate to the beginning of advanced.
The 2 most significant downsides of the FP-30: 1. Downward floor facing speakers; Horrible inexcusable design flaw. 2. No true LINE OUT jack; Even more horrible inexcusable design flaw. I can’t help but to believe these flaws were intentional to force experienced consumers to purchase the FP-60 and/or FP-90. It is the only theory that makes sense bc those 2 design flaws cannot be just “honest mistakes.” With this being said, I’m a beginner, thank goodness, received my FP-30 less than a month ago, and I absolutely LOVE it for my limited abilities and uses. The Piano Partner 2 app handles all piano features easily, the ebony/ivory textured keys eliminate sweaty fingers slipping everywhere, and the speakers are still plenty powerful enough, despite downward facing directional flaw, to boom throughout my home. Overall, a fabulous piano for beginners who can log hundreds of practice hours on it before upgrading to the FP-90 which is my plan. Cheers! 👊😎🎹
Hey there how are you? I bought a roland fp10 and I am delighted with the action for the price but very disappointed when it comes with the sound with headphones. Not sure what should I do, should I buy a headphones amplifier? What do you think? Thanks in advance
remie from roland there is no direct line out for external speakers is this limiting. IM thinking ill run with an Fp10 for now, see how I et n with that. I do want to be using an external speker at some point. am I better looking at yamaha? kawai?
I own a fp30, when I have a gig in a small setting I sometimes don't need extra speakers/amplification because of the volume it has. With my previous piano (ep880) that was no option and if I recall, that one had the same speakers as the fp10. So it can make a difference!
Hi, please somebody help here..., i´m worried for the lack of half pedalling in FP10 against FP30, is very sad that Roland only put 3 levels in FP10 when you used the DP10 pedal. What do you think about it?. Thanks!.
Do you have any thoughts on this now? I’ve heavily researched both fp10 and 30, and the only reason I can see to pick the 30 is that it has more pedal support. But I don’t know if that’s something I need or if it’s worth $200
@@maxfrombeyblade I'm debating the same thing right this moment. Should I spend $200 for the extra pedal support and better speakers? I don't care about the extra sounds, really.
Jonathan Faulhaber I went with the more expensive Roland RP501r because my family wanted something that looked nice as furniture. I went with that model because it came with many more tones. I can say I NEVER use them. Maybe they’ll come useful if you want to produce? But otherwise, the tones aren’t necessary
the pedals are the deal breaker for the FP10. I'm restarting my playing after 34 years off (!), I used to be a merit grade 7 at school, then never got round to finishing grade 8. Not interested in any of the gimmicky stuff, but it has to be as similar to a quality upright as possible, in a compact package. The FP10 simplicity therefore is fine, but not the one pedal only. FP30 it (probably) is, then.
Yes there is Transpose function. Hold the function button and press A7 for +1 Transpose and G7 for -1 Transpose. G#/Ab for 0 transpose. I wish the keyboard had a tiny screen just to show minimum.
@@kevinlukac I agree with Dare; as much as everyone says, "you need a full size 88 keys", in reality, the top and bottom octaves are rarely used. I would rather have a smaller keyboard with the great weighting and feel but have 61 keys so that it is more portable and takes up less space.
@@nigeldsouza6088 not even just classical music. I'm not a professional piano player whatsoever but even playing some subgenres of pop music can be pretty frustrating because of the missing keys. In my opinion having 88 keys is an absolute necessity if you're a beginner and want to play any type of music
I'm interested in the np10. With regards to recording, will this keyboard allows me to play back the music that I recorded, and at the same time let me play the piano to create a dual effect, like 2 people are playing the piano?
FP10 can as well. I brought my macbook to the music store and connected it to the FP10 using a USB cable and was able to play/record midi through my daw (Logic Pro X)
I like piano but not an expert in it. Please guys tell me whether FP10 or FP30 has Midi Out facility so that in future I can connect this set to a VST engine for superior piano sounds - please tell me.
FP30 more piano realistic I would say, touch and sound ... when you compare both pianos side by side you will know what I mean, FP30 has a brilliant realistic sustain decay and a more realistic keybed. But it's better to compare them side by side ...
@@CornyChalky Thank you for your suggestion. I think i am gonna order FP30 in couple of months. Please click on my name to watch some of my immature covers. You will like em
@@glipoi6528 indeed... Even the fp30 is just headphones... What a shame because the pianos sound quality are absurd in these series! Anyway, you still can output from the headphones, just set the volume to 80%
Everything is about sales these days. Musicians became Brand Instrument Specialists. We never hear their actual music. Meanwhile, crap plays on the radio..
You just know they are going to go to a pub later on, order a nice ale or a glass of red, play the digital Roland pianos and make sweet sweet music together. That's all I wish for 2021 anyway.
Hey, Please could you advise me on what the best battery powered digital piano (that isn't casio, I do not like their signature sound) for under £500 is please? I am a beginner as well so a piano with phone connectivity so i can learn from apps would be super helpful. Any advice would be super appreciated.

But i want to contrast if people with older fp30 feel the keys as heavy as me. The yamaha (p45 or the newer one maybe) today had heavier keys than the fp30 at the store. But my fp is heavier than the yamaha. The new fp30 was easier to play but I prefer the feel of mine... but im very surprised and looking for an explanation. Two items of the same model cant be so different if it isnt a design thing...
fp 30 harder to play than an upright piano ? O.o
i think you can change that by pressing one of the higher c and d keys on the fp30 it's called 'key touch'
@@nickshirazi7821 That is not what he is talking about. He is referring to the weight of the keys. And that cant be changed
My FP30 bought more than a year ago feels heavy compared to the Kawaii ES110, Yamaha P45, P115, P125. But I prefer it like that. I haven't played an FP30 in a store since then so I cant see if it has changed.
Same here, have my FP30 more than 2 years now and it has pretty heavy keys compared to all the other same range pianos
How is the fp30 a beginner piano? It has nice weighted keys and escapement. They keep emphasizing its beginner and "entry level" but the features on the fp30 with escapement isnt the entry level by any means into good digital pianos. This can go well into intermediate to the beginning of advanced.
The 2 most significant downsides of the FP-30:
1. Downward floor facing speakers; Horrible inexcusable design flaw.
2. No true LINE OUT jack; Even more horrible inexcusable design flaw.
I can’t help but to believe these flaws were intentional to force experienced consumers to purchase the FP-60 and/or FP-90.
It is the only theory that makes sense bc those 2 design flaws cannot be just “honest mistakes.”
With this being said, I’m a beginner, thank goodness, received my FP-30 less than a month ago, and I absolutely LOVE it for my limited abilities and uses.
The Piano Partner 2 app handles all piano features easily, the ebony/ivory textured keys eliminate sweaty fingers slipping everywhere, and the speakers are still plenty powerful enough, despite downward facing directional flaw, to boom throughout my home.
Overall, a fabulous piano for beginners who can log hundreds of practice hours on it before upgrading to the FP-90 which is my plan. Cheers! 👊😎🎹
Can I plug the FP10 in an effect pedal? Is tha 3,5 jack output suited for that? Thank you.
So hows the key noise after months of playing? Roland has this issue right? Coz I'm planning to buy the FP10
What is the name of the piece at 8:50? 🤔
Chopin's Nocturne in B-flat minor, from his Op. 9 set.
Hey there how are you? I bought a roland fp10 and I am delighted with the action for the price but very disappointed when it comes with the sound with headphones. Not sure what should I do, should I buy a headphones amplifier? What do you think? Thanks in advance
Do any of these models accept a mic plug in for voice recording?
Solid review. 5/5
I just played both of them in a music store from my town. I was quite impressed with how much better the fp30 is. It's really worth your money.
I mean as far as sound and feel for piano tones there basically equally minus the half sustain in the fp30
Kyle Kondit I thought the fp30 sounded way fuller and louder, probably due to the better speakers
Placebo
May I know what is the name of the piece played at the very beginning?
remie from roland
there is no direct line out for external speakers
is this limiting.
IM thinking ill run with an Fp10 for now, see how I et n with that.
I do want to be using an external speker at some point.
am I better looking at yamaha? kawai?
so they are no different if you use a laptop to produce the sound.??? except that the fp30 is heavier to lug to around to gigs?
Nope, same software
I own a fp30, when I have a gig in a small setting I sometimes don't need extra speakers/amplification because of the volume it has. With my previous piano (ep880) that was no option and if I recall, that one had the same speakers as the fp10. So it can make a difference!
Hi, please somebody help here..., i´m worried for the lack of half pedalling in FP10 against FP30, is very sad that Roland only put 3 levels in FP10 when you used the DP10 pedal. What do you think about it?. Thanks!.
Do you have any thoughts on this now? I’ve heavily researched both fp10 and 30, and the only reason I can see to pick the 30 is that it has more pedal support. But I don’t know if that’s something I need or if it’s worth $200
@@maxfrombeyblade I'm debating the same thing right this moment. Should I spend $200 for the extra pedal support and better speakers? I don't care about the extra sounds, really.
Jonathan Faulhaber I went with the more expensive Roland RP501r because my family wanted something that looked nice as furniture. I went with that model because it came with many more tones. I can say I NEVER use them. Maybe they’ll come useful if you want to produce? But otherwise, the tones aren’t necessary
Please give me the name of the song which is being played at 03:11.
Benyamin 1996 Part of Clair de lune by Debussy
@@jacobalexandrou5493 thanks for giving the name of the song
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
can you connect bookshelf speakers on this fp10?
what are the headphoneS that compatible to the FP30?
3:12 7:08
Life saver mate
Song?
nice video.
whats the piece played at 8:46 ??
the pedals are the deal breaker for the FP10. I'm restarting my playing after 34 years off (!), I used to be a merit grade 7 at school, then never got round to finishing grade 8. Not interested in any of the gimmicky stuff, but it has to be as similar to a quality upright as possible, in a compact package. The FP10 simplicity therefore is fine, but not the one pedal only. FP30 it (probably) is, then.
Do these have battery power enabled?
What is the song at 3mins 15secs?
the missed note in the intro killed me,
never mind you murdered the piece itself with the pacing :)
lol
what is the Chopin piece that plays at the end of the video? It's been stuck in my head all week and it's driving me crazy!!
Barcarolle in F sharp major, Op. 60
@@midnightantelopes thank you so much🙆♀️
@@sarahhan1867 One of my absolute favorites, op. 60, I have 2 recordings of it on my channel
Noob question : what's the difference between 1 pedal & 3 pedals ? For a beginner, will it really matter ?
No all you really need is a sustain pedal
Does it has transpose and recording function?
Yes but only from the app sadly
Yes there is Transpose function.
Hold the function button and press A7 for +1 Transpose and G7 for -1 Transpose. G#/Ab for 0 transpose. I wish the keyboard had a tiny screen just to show minimum.
Does fb10 has a transpose ?
10:52
If you are looking for the differences
Just wish Roland would put some decent outputs on these keyboards, and 76 & 61 key versions....they would really have a winner!
hey im a noob and would like to know why is it useful to have a few keys less than 88?
kevinlukac it’s cheaper. It would also be useful if you have limited space and don’t have room for the 88 key size.
@@kevinlukac I agree with Dare; as much as everyone says, "you need a full size 88 keys", in reality, the top and bottom octaves are rarely used. I would rather have a smaller keyboard with the great weighting and feel but have 61 keys so that it is more portable and takes up less space.
@@kevinlukac If you decide to go for classical music (Chopin and stuff) you will have to buy the 88 keys. Otherwise you should be fine with 61
@@nigeldsouza6088 not even just classical music. I'm not a professional piano player whatsoever but even playing some subgenres of pop music can be pretty frustrating because of the missing keys. In my opinion having 88 keys is an absolute necessity if you're a beginner and want to play any type of music
I'm interested in the np10. With regards to recording, will this keyboard allows me to play back the music that I recorded, and at the same time let me play the piano to create a dual effect, like 2 people are playing the piano?
You missed the fact that both of these only export sound as midi. So it's not a true song recorder.
Roland for me 👍
The 12w speakers on FP10 bothers me. How bad is that?
I want her to read me bedtime stories. That voice is so soothing. Love her accent as well.
5:08 wtf no way.. shat ap and take my money
what loll
C7 you can’t hear the harmonics can’t you ?
Do these have line outputs for sending signal to a PA system?
Not dedicated line outputs. But you can use the headphones outputs with no problem.
Im in love with lady Remie ❤️
Can they be connected to a daw like fl studios?
Yes, the FP30 can be connected via a USB cable to your computer for use in DAWs. Don't know about the FP10 as I don't have one.
FP10 can as well. I brought my macbook to the music store and connected it to the FP10 using a USB cable and was able to play/record midi through my daw (Logic Pro X)
definitely. I think you can do it through Bluetooth too on the FP30 but Im not sure
yeh both pianos can be used as midi controllers
And can the FP10 be connected to external speakers via aux as well?
What is the name of the song he plays at 3.12??
Claire De lune
I'm not sure about FP10 or FP30 but she's very cute 😄😍
What was the piece at 3:12?
Claire de Lune
imma get an e-piano as a gift, should i go for the fp10?
I like piano but not an expert in it. Please guys tell me whether FP10 or FP30 has Midi Out facility so that in future I can connect this set to a VST engine for superior piano sounds - please tell me.
I have an fp30. It has midi connections and USB. I play vst's and Ableton live via my PC.
Both have usb midi, which is in and out. Both can be used with VSTs and DAWs on a computer.
Fp30 or casio ap270 ? Please suggest
FP30 more piano realistic I would say, touch and sound ... when you compare both pianos side by side you will know what I mean, FP30 has a brilliant realistic sustain decay and a more realistic keybed. But it's better to compare them side by side ...
@@CornyChalky Thank you for your suggestion. I think i am gonna order FP30 in couple of months. Please click on my name to watch some of my immature covers. You will like em
Do these pianos have 1/4" jack to hook up to amps ??
the fp30 yes, the fp10 has only a p2 (headphone) out.
No. You're wrong. Neither of one has line out. I think this is a great weakness on theese models
@@glipoi6528 indeed... Even the fp30 is just headphones... What a shame because the pianos sound quality are absurd in these series! Anyway, you still can output from the headphones, just set the volume to 80%
Everything is about sales these days. Musicians became Brand Instrument Specialists. We never hear their actual music. Meanwhile, crap plays on the radio..
Which countries are blessed with Bluetooth connection?
Papageno Sweden and Finland
What?
I thought it was Denmark and Norway!
India! Using FP10 bluetooth model.
*10:30** Song Name?*
Barcarolle in F sharp major, Op. 60
It looks like Roland is replacing the FP-30 with the FP-30x
I wish this video had sub 😢
The stretched tuning on the Roland is such a shame. Sounds horrible. Is there any way of turning it off?
What is stretched turning?
This is literally my dream girl. I wish I could possibly talk to her in real life 😫
same
she is my wife.
LOL she's not super famous or anything, go for it penguin, spread those wings and fly
Price...
You just know they are going to go to a pub later on, order a nice ale or a glass of red, play the digital Roland pianos and make sweet sweet music together. That's all I wish for 2021 anyway.
Poor Listz... But ok for info
Hey,
Please could you advise me on what the best battery powered digital piano (that isn't casio, I do not like their signature sound) for under £500 is please? I am a beginner as well so a piano with phone connectivity so i can learn from apps would be super helpful.
Any advice would be super appreciated.
Good question
A used Yamaha p90 or p80. htey both used Yamaha's GHE board, much better than GHS.
dear purists posh english speakers, thanks you for your comparison between those great instruments . I could be more happy to be able to understand all those poshy accent english spoken words, spitted as a connoseiurs, but, maybe my next life I'll be born in ENgland, so no further need for subttitles. Thanks !
So there would be no difference using headphones?
Yes. U r right.
Whats the name of the piece played in the introduction?? Is it chopin? Would you mind to tell me please.
