I have to be honest, I'm not sure why you don't have more subscribers. I seriously like your videos and learn a lot from you. AWESOME videos and great content you have.
Thanks a lot for the specific speakers demo at the end, not something we see (well, hear) a lot on reviews and comparisons, that's really helpful and important to me 'cause I don't want to wear headphones or plug in monitors each time I play And thanks a lot for your whole reviews in general anyway, way better than most out there :D
I forgot to ask you what you thought of them :D I did on your other FP-10 video but I'm trying my luck here :D I've got the casio CDP-S350 but I really dislike the speakers, very weak especially on the deep end so I'd like to know how it is for the Roland
I appreciate your presentation. Very clear and unbiased... just the facts. In this COVID quarantine, I am finding solace by retreating to playing. I find your reviews to be extremely helpful, since digital is all new to me. THANK YOU!
I believe that humanity will go through a very difficult period in the near future. During all this time with the COVID virus I found peace in my faith in God. My life changed for the better after, out of curiosity, I read the Bible to discover the truth about this world we live in and what the Creator wants from us. *Acts **17:30**/31* In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
@@RauBogdan What does it matter? We are talking about an instrument comparision (a great one, good job Chuck!). Go to the church if you want preach, don't bore us with your stuff...
Really nice overview, including size specs. Sometimes weight and size specs are buried on some obscure web page. I wish more reviewers would give this kind of detail especially on digital pianos where on an instrument this large, they demand decent sized footprints.
I just purchased my first digital piano, and my decision came down to one of these two very pianos. I basically had to flip a coin as to which one to get and after much deliberation I ultimately went with the Casio. What I liked about the FP 10 was the narrow width of 50.5”, the Bluetooth midi, and the heavy keybed. What I liked about the Casio was the AUX outputs, the quality of the sound, and the modern style of the piano itself. Before receiving the Casio I was somewhat concerned that the lighter action would not be suitable for a beginner player looking for authentic touch, however upon receiving the piano this morning I am pleasantly surprised with the weight of the action. It certainly feels like any real piano I’ve ever played - especially compared to the unweighted keyboard I was used to. In short, I think both of these pianos are fantastic, It’s a great time we live in for such quality, value, and sound.
i was in your same situation, i was using a yamaha psr with touch sensitive keys just to begin. i went to a local shop to try digital pianos and while i liked overall px-s1000 more (for design, features, size primarily) in the end i purchased fp10 (399 vs 529€ here in italy). PHA4 action feels very good, maybe it's the only thing that i like a bit more about fp10. and yes, it's a bit heavier than the one of the px-s1000. i think px-s1000 has a really good design and a lot more features. but as you said they are both fantastic choices. i hope i won't regret i haven't bought px-s1000 :)
Hi, I have an old Casio Privia (>10 years) and I can hear some mechanics noise while playing on keys , I can the same on some videos dedicated to FP10, is it the same with this new Casio Privia?
Hi I am planning to buy one of these two piano, do you have any memory bank or register memory system to easily switch between tones in px s1000 either through midi or digital piano?
Hi, these reviews are awesome. I learned a lot from you. Could you please comment on your thoughts about these keyboards against entry level Kawai keyboards in terms of keybeds? Also, did you like the keybed of Rd88 and A88 at NAMM? Thank you!
Nice job! I learned so much in this one video! I’m sitting here getting ready to push the “check cart out” button for my piano! You helped me decide! Roland ! 🤗 Thanks again!
I really love your youtube chanel, youre very good at comparations with a lot of objebtivity. Because of your videos I decided began with an FP 10. Very thank you!
Hi, Chuck. THIS question should be asked of you: For your typical live gig (and you should probably explain what your typical live gig is), what is or has been you favorite go-to keyboard or keyboards to play at them? You have access to so many keyboards and you have found each one to have its inherent strengths, HOWEVER which one(s) are YOUR go-to keyboards to play at live gig??? Would love to know, Chuck, and thanks for your cool videos; and, I also enjoy listening to your playing, too! Cheers!
Really great comparison! Thank you! For my purposes I guess the best thing is to buy a splitter for the Roland audio issue with only one jack. The midi Bluetooth and the extra sounds through the app are too much to give up with He Casio. Plus FP10 is $100 cheaper which can buy the stand.
@@88keys. If you search for "headphone jack splitter," amazon shows several. Yes it is an adapter. I don't know the size of the jack so just make sure to match that. Hope it works out for you!
I bumped into this review while looking for a comparison between the Casio PX-S1000 and the Roland FP30. Would you say in that case the Roland has an edge? Thank you
Truly appreciate this. I am trying to figure out my first beginner piano. I am leaning towards the Casio, however when I heard you play at the end for some reason it seemed as though the Roland sound was "better"? The Casio has seemingly better functions and outputs, which I appreciate.
From this comparison, clearly Roland sounds better to me. I just bought the FP-10 myself and I can tell the action is superb ! The ivory touch, it really reminds me the grand piano, old Bechstein I played some years ago. I dont know how the CASIO feels but if you are looking for good electronic piano on the budget, FP-10 will not disappoint. Keybed is actually superior to my Arturia Keylab 88, with the top Fatar action. Arturia's keys feel plastic and artificially heavy. Roland sounds great and feels great. Speakers are terrible, just forget them, connect to a stereo. Fantastic, acustic piano replacement.
I'm a beginner, looking forward to play classical pieces and into more of the classical side of things. Confused between the fp-10 and pxs 1000. Fp-10 is around 40-50 dollars more than the pxs-1000 in my country. Also, I'm an android user. What would you suggest? If I wanna become a classical pianist, is the action that big of a difference that I can't train on the pxs1000 at all?
Do you prefer these actions to a fatar tp-40 or tp-100? I'm also a pro pianist, but I'm looking for a lightweight controller solution for my Dexibell module at gigs. Bear in mind, I use a VPC-1 at home, so I'm pretty jaded about keyboard actions! ;)
Thank you so much for this video. It was a pleasure to watch it and really helpful. I think my heart is set on Casio (although I've always preferred Roland).
great comparison and review, but now I'm even more confused because I was going to buy the Roland but I've found an offer for the Casio at basically the same price (slightly under 500 for both the Roland and the Casio), so for that price which one would you buy? I especially like the possibility of the Casio to have two persons playing at the same time with two headphones.
@@holaholay Roland fp-30))) Got it for 660$ and couldn't refuse such price. Great instrument. Though after this video I thought of casio, but somehow roland appeared to be more reasonable choice. Actually Andertons' review was better for me
Many thanks for the review. I have a question though: if I use the Casio only as a MIDI-Controller for VSTs (i.e. Pianoteq), can I also connect the line-out of my PC to the audio-in of the Casio in order to hear the VST output through Casios built-in speakers?
Hard to compare pianos with such a price gap. PXS3000 sounds and other features are really good, I'd say that the sounds are on par... at least on par with the Korg Kross of a friend. And I'm not only talking about the piano sounds, but all others : electrics, chords, synth, etc...... And Chordana app is enhancing a lot an already good home interface. But imho, when it comes to stage, a Nord's or Kurzweil's buttons, sliders, touch screen etc .... will do a better job. Anyway, if stage is not your main use, you should seriously consider the Casio
I'm considering to buy either Casio Privia PX-S1000 or Korg D1 to use at home and also as midi controller. Can you give me some advise between these two piano?
thanks for this! was looking at both as well and was looking to buy whichever of these two was the cheapest. the casio pxs1000 came down to $750 canadian after tax so i went for it. whereas the fp10 was at least $800 before taxes
Thank you so much. I'm a long time Roland fan and made the mistake of selling my intelligent piano a few years ago. Been having a hard time finding something affordable to replace it with. I've been using the Maudio keystation for recording but I don't like the way the keys feel. Hard on the fingers and not weighted like it's advertised or like you get with a Roland.
That's only a problem for James Shawcross. In reality, the built-in firmware makes up for any weight differences - much like choosing a key velocity level does.
Watch James' inital response to the pxs3000 th-cam.com/video/29HNflbq3Fw/w-d-xo.html .. what changed?? TH-camrs make videos for views, and you have to bear this in mind when watching content. Also remember that no professional musician complained about the issue before his review, pretty sure if it was a deal breaker that at least SOMEONE would have mentioned it. If you;ve played an sx-1000/3000 you'll realise that the weight difference is a moot point.
Have you tried using something like AOMAIS GO speaker, with an aux cable, with the FP-10. I would think something like that (it's 30 watts with good bass response) would be enough for room use, if the built-in speakers are a bit too tinny.
@@PianoManChuck Thanks. From what I can tell, the main objection to the FP-10 from you and other reviewers is that the built-in speakers are a little tinny. For those of us who just want to play at home, and don't need a lot of amplification but would like a nice sound, I'm thinking that a regular PA/amp would be overkill, but one of these Bluetooth speakers would be just fine. And I'd be fine connecting out from the headphone jack with an aux cable to avoid any BT lag. Personally, I neither need nor want the other bells and whistles of the Casio, so for me it's all about the sound.
In that case you may want to check out a pair of iLoud MicroMonitors. 50 watts RMS for the pair, bluetooth or direct connections, studio/reference monitors! These things are absolutely amazing. I did a video that compares those with the built-in speakers of the Kawai ES8 (built-in 30 watts, very good sounding... but close to $2k). Check it out at th-cam.com/video/1SDFLl6hI00/w-d-xo.html
Can someone once and for all tell me if the traditional MIDI connectors (in, out and thru) are superior to the USB connection MIDI. I notice that the newer keyboards do not have MIDI ports but I have heard that USB invites ground noise, etc. I want a keyboard for the studio that is PROFESSIONAL. Is USB the new norm? Thanks.
Hello! I understand that different prices, but I can not do anything. I really like two models: Yamaha p45 and Casio px-s1000. Tell me, what will suit a newbie who is not interested in playing the classics (Mozart, Beethoven (except that I like the 3rd part of the Moonlight Sonata), Chopin, etc.), but about the compositions of Hans Zimmer and jazz I’m still interested. And so, Yamaha P45 or Casio PX-S1000?
Can the casio send bluetooth audio, or only recieve? I would get why they wouldn't send bluetooth audio because of the latency, but it would be nice paired with some low latency bluetooth headphones.
@@PianoManChuck bummer. That would have been the feature that puller me over, but I think I'll go with the fp-10 then because of the Bluetooth midi, and pretty good voices.
Not sure if this is a fair comparison. Although both are the entry level pianos, cost of the Casio is closer to the Roland fp30Roland fp30, at least in my country, so I would have preferred this comparison.
Roland FP10 and FP30 are nearly identical. FP30 has more sounds, but you can get those for free on the FP10 by using their Piano Partner App as I pointed out in my FP10 review.
After much research on the subject, yesterday I’ve bought my PXS1000. Still gonna wait a few days to receive it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be more than happy with it.
I've just ordered the Casio PX-S1000. I prefer the overall features and portability of the Casio. In fairness I think the sound of both instruments is excellent, and unless you make immediate comparisons side by side I doubt that most people could tell the difference. Some are influenced by your final comparison using the built-in speakers, which is ok if you're depending upon the internal speakers. But for performance I'll be playing through external speakers. The Roland has a slight edge because of the higher wattage internal amplifier and speakers, but with external speakers I preferred the Casio as the piano sounded more authentic with a deep rounded resonance especially on the lower notes. The Casio App for this piano also has the ability to tweak the sound of the piano in different ways which makes it the overall winner for me. Also, it's USB MIDI connectivity for DAW and Sibelius is really important for me. Thank you so much for your excellent review.
I had the same idea but my girlfriend hates to hear the sound of the keybead and even prefers to hear what I play instead. So don’t be sure you will not disturb anyone in the same room...
@@gszuhai I do not agree. The Casio keybed is incredibly silent. Chuck demo of it was done hammering heavily on the keys, and even like that, it already sounded way smoother than Roland FP10. And when played normally, PSX keys are really stealth, you can trust me
@@surfinbird4922 If your playing lullabies you would be right on. BUT in the real world I think if your playing Beethoven's 5th or can you imagine Bohemian Rhapsody without some heavy hammering? I would never be able to judge if he hit them softly. Any keyboard would sound stealth in that case. He did a great assessment. He knows exactly what he's doing.
I’ve had Roland rd200, rd600, fp3, Fp10. I like the bright attack and long sustain. Yamaha samples Yamaha acoustic piano Roland samples Steinway Casio ? I don’t know whose sound they’ve sampled. Fp 10 has good action at the price
What about their keys feeling? Someone has ever tried the Casio CDP s100 and the Roland FP-10? I mean, both of them. I have gone to a lot of music stores but I could only tried the Casio CDP s100 because it was the only available, so, it's my only reference. It feels good, and I read that the Casio keys feels like an ivory piano keys. I got an offer with the Roland FP-10, it's going to be the same price between the Casio CDP S100 and the Roland FP-10, but I don't know which one to buy, because I haven't tried the Roland and I'm afraid (if I buy the Roland) that I'm not going to like how the Roland feels compared to the Casio... What should I do? Which one should I buy?
I bought the S100, opened it, played it, then put it back in the box ( all in less than 20 minutes). Going to return it. It's a below average piano IMO and I was very disappointed. The feel is not bad, I kind of liked it more than my current digital piano, but the sounds is terrible. It sounds too digital and nowhere close to an actual piano. I couldn't play a full song because I kept getting distracted by how bad it sounds. The FP10 sounds more like my upright piano, from mellow to bright it sits exactly where I like. I guess what I am trying to say is that no matter how nice the S100 feels, the poor sound and sustain pedal experience kills it for you I am debating between PXS1000 and FP10. For now I am leaning towards FP10.
Honestly I'm having such a hard time deciding between these two pianos. I wish someone would just pick for me and I could trust them and look back in five years and be thankful.
This comparison is unfortunately moot now since as of 8/2020 the FP-10 is pretty much unavailable. The best estimates I could get were “early 2021. Maybe.”
I would personally go with the Casio, the Roland action is more authentic in terms of weight ( the casio is a bit too light) but both have excellent feel. In terms of sound i prefer the Casio by a wide margin.
@@IvanEDaza , The thing is my computer has never ever experienced crashes with Ravenscrof275. So your wishes of crash to my computer sound somewhat weird. And what would you do if all of a sudden you get diarrhea attack while playing live?
@@MSM5500 No computer is immune to crashing, comparing it to a diarrhea is not even possible cause at least you know and feel like you will sh*t yourself hours before, a computer just crashes tf out of nowhere, no matter if you have the most powerful one, there's always the possibility to have it crashing, be it for ambiental factors, moves that may make the hard drive jump, etc., several friends had this issue, and myself had this to happen to me live 2 times, they all have used different piano/synth softwares and some even used to make loops there, I decided to just save some money and buy a decent digital piano that does the job for live events, at least you know right there you won't deal with delay, crashing, low battery, extra cables, weird converters, etc., specially if you go from gig to gig and need something quick to set up. Not saying it's the only valid thing, but depending on a "third part" like a computer for your playing, to me is comparable to be walking on a thin plank bridge between two mountains far away from each other
@@floriangrasselt5350 No argument there - Roland's first and last sentences are quite accurate.... but I think you are interpreting "entry level piano" with "beginner" which is not accurate.
I have looked around china market before get my es110. I'm Just grab it from china to my country. fp30(stand version) 590$ es110(stand version) 570$ Px1000(stand version) is 680$

since both are value for money its hard to choose, so let coin to decide
Buy both.
thanks for this! was looking at both as well and was looking to buy whichever of these two was the cheapest. the casio pxs1000 came down to $750 canadian after tax so i went for it. whereas the fp10 was at least $800 before taxes
Thank you so much. I'm a long time Roland fan and made the mistake of selling my intelligent piano a few years ago. Been having a hard time finding something affordable to replace it with. I've been using the Maudio keystation for recording but I don't like the way the keys feel. Hard on the fingers and not weighted like it's advertised or like you get with a Roland.
Great review! Did you feel black keys lighter than the white ones? I'm about to buy the pxs1000 but that difference would be a problem for me.
That's only a problem for James Shawcross. In reality, the built-in firmware makes up for any weight differences - much like choosing a key velocity level does.
Watch James' inital response to the pxs3000 th-cam.com/video/29HNflbq3Fw/w-d-xo.html .. what changed?? TH-camrs make videos for views, and you have to bear this in mind when watching content. Also remember that no professional musician complained about the issue before his review, pretty sure if it was a deal breaker that at least SOMEONE would have mentioned it. If you;ve played an sx-1000/3000 you'll realise that the weight difference is a moot point.
How is the action of the Casio??
Have you tried using something like AOMAIS GO speaker, with an aux cable, with the FP-10. I would think something like that (it's 30 watts with good bass response) would be enough for room use, if the built-in speakers are a bit too tinny.
No I haven't... but there's a newer 2020 version out now with 40 watts, a larger capacity battery. and Bluetooth 5.0
@@PianoManChuck Thanks. From what I can tell, the main objection to the FP-10 from you and other reviewers is that the built-in speakers are a little tinny. For those of us who just want to play at home, and don't need a lot of amplification but would like a nice sound, I'm thinking that a regular PA/amp would be overkill, but one of these Bluetooth speakers would be just fine. And I'd be fine connecting out from the headphone jack with an aux cable to avoid any BT lag. Personally, I neither need nor want the other bells and whistles of the Casio, so for me it's all about the sound.
In that case you may want to check out a pair of iLoud MicroMonitors. 50 watts RMS for the pair, bluetooth or direct connections, studio/reference monitors! These things are absolutely amazing. I did a video that compares those with the built-in speakers of the Kawai ES8 (built-in 30 watts, very good sounding... but close to $2k). Check it out at th-cam.com/video/1SDFLl6hI00/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
Which is best for gigging?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Can someone once and for all tell me if the traditional MIDI connectors (in, out and thru) are superior to the USB connection MIDI. I notice that the newer keyboards do not have MIDI ports but I have heard that USB invites ground noise, etc. I want a keyboard for the studio that is PROFESSIONAL. Is USB the new norm? Thanks.
USB is perfectly fine for midi, most new high-grade synthesizers have usb midi out.
Amazing job!!! Thanks! Gonna get the Casio😁
Hello! I understand that different prices, but I can not do anything. I really like two models: Yamaha p45 and Casio px-s1000. Tell me, what will suit a newbie who is not interested in playing the classics (Mozart, Beethoven (except that I like the 3rd part of the Moonlight Sonata), Chopin, etc.), but about the compositions of Hans Zimmer and jazz I’m still interested. And so, Yamaha P45 or Casio PX-S1000?
So what did you choose ? I want to take a piano me too but im a noob
@@tagadone casio px-s1000
Can the casio send bluetooth audio, or only recieve? I would get why they wouldn't send bluetooth audio because of the latency, but it would be nice paired with some low latency bluetooth headphones.
Receive
@@PianoManChuck bummer. That would have been the feature that puller me over, but I think I'll go with the fp-10 then because of the Bluetooth midi, and pretty good voices.
Not sure if this is a fair comparison. Although both are the entry level pianos, cost of the Casio is closer to the Roland fp30Roland fp30, at least in my country, so I would have preferred this comparison.
Roland FP10 and FP30 are nearly identical. FP30 has more sounds, but you can get those for free on the FP10 by using their Piano Partner App as I pointed out in my FP10 review.
After much research on the subject, yesterday I’ve bought my PXS1000. Still gonna wait a few days to receive it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be more than happy with it.
So how is it? do the keys click over time?
Sooo... What happened
Yeah what happened
@@BatfinkUno i don't know if Henrique will reply but i bought it too a few days after my comment and i love it.
@@Blostblue Glad to hear that and congrats! 👍👍👍
Thanks for great review. Though wondering if the Casio has Bluetooth output (to listen wirelessly with Bluetooth headphones)?
no , no dp even those who have Bluetooth do not support audio to Bluetooth headphones , its called Bluetooth Midi.
@@Ous_Sama Thanks
I've just ordered the Casio PX-S1000. I prefer the overall features and portability of the Casio. In fairness I think the sound of both instruments is excellent, and unless you make immediate comparisons side by side I doubt that most people could tell the difference.
Some are influenced by your final comparison using the built-in speakers, which is ok if you're depending upon the internal speakers. But for performance I'll be playing through external speakers.
The Roland has a slight edge because of the higher wattage internal amplifier and speakers, but with external speakers I preferred the Casio as the piano sounded more authentic with a deep rounded resonance especially on the lower notes. The Casio App for this piano also has the ability to tweak the sound of the piano in different ways which makes it the overall winner for me. Also, it's USB MIDI connectivity for DAW and Sibelius is really important for me.
Thank you so much for your excellent review.
Thanks for watching!
Question, can you put headphones on the Both piano’s to play with out disturbing someone else in the room?
yep
I had the same idea but my girlfriend hates to hear the sound of the keybead and even prefers to hear what I play instead. So don’t be sure you will not disturb anyone in the same room...
@@gszuhai I do not agree. The Casio keybed is incredibly silent. Chuck demo of it was done hammering heavily on the keys, and even like that, it already sounded way smoother than Roland FP10. And when played normally, PSX keys are really stealth, you can trust me
@@surfinbird4922 If your playing lullabies you would be right on. BUT in the real world I think if your playing Beethoven's 5th or can you imagine Bohemian Rhapsody without some heavy hammering? I would never be able to judge if he hit them softly. Any keyboard would sound stealth in that case. He did a great assessment. He knows exactly what he's doing.
CASIO pianos are getting better and better :)

What about their keys feeling? Someone has ever tried the Casio CDP s100 and the Roland FP-10? I mean, both of them.
I have gone to a lot of music stores but I could only tried the Casio CDP s100 because it was the only available, so, it's my only reference. It feels good, and I read that the Casio keys feels like an ivory piano keys. I got an offer with the Roland FP-10, it's going to be the same price between the Casio CDP S100 and the Roland FP-10, but I don't know which one to buy, because I haven't tried the Roland and I'm afraid (if I buy the Roland) that I'm not going to like how the Roland feels compared to the Casio... What should I do? Which one should I buy?
I bought the S100, opened it, played it, then put it back in the box ( all in less than 20 minutes). Going to return it.
It's a below average piano IMO and I was very disappointed. The feel is not bad, I kind of liked it more than my current digital piano, but the sounds is terrible. It sounds too digital and nowhere close to an actual piano. I couldn't play a full song because I kept getting distracted by how bad it sounds. The FP10 sounds more like my upright piano, from mellow to bright it sits exactly where I like.
I guess what I am trying to say is that no matter how nice the S100 feels, the poor sound and sustain pedal experience kills it for you
I am debating between PXS1000 and FP10. For now I am leaning towards FP10.
Can the PX-S1000 be used as a controller for Garageband on IOS through the cable connection?
Honestly I'm having such a hard time deciding between these two pianos. I wish someone would just pick for me and I could trust them and look back in five years and be thankful.
@@DudleyHunt Wut did you get?
@@DudleyHunt spend the $200 extra and get the Casio PX-s3000 same keyboards ton more sounds and effects
This comparison is unfortunately moot now since as of 8/2020 the FP-10 is pretty much unavailable. The best estimates I could get were “early 2021. Maybe.”
Hello, if you were to make a choice would it be Casio PX S1000 or Roland FP30
Personally, I would choose the Roland. Better sound and better action. That's my opinion.
I would personally go with the Casio, the Roland action is more authentic in terms of weight ( the casio is a bit too light) but both have excellent feel. In terms of sound i prefer the Casio by a wide margin.
Both are good products!!
BTW, Can I use PX-S1000 as a MIDI Controller through USB Type-B port??
yes
fp10 is only 3.5mm jack for amp output
Roland period!!
Casio time .
@@user-xy8ec9nw3uhi ! i want to start the piano should i'll take the casio ?
@@tagadone
Casio s1000 and Yamaha p125 .
Good choice.
for me casio is better than fp10, but i prefer 30.
Just garb one of these then plug it to Vlabs Ravenscroft245 via MIDI and you'll get a HUGE piano setup. Forget that built-in sound generator.
Good luck when your computer crashes while playing live lol
VTS are good for studio and recording, awful idea for live playing
@@IvanEDaza , The thing is my computer has never ever experienced crashes with Ravenscrof275. So your wishes of crash to my computer sound somewhat weird. And what would you do if all of a sudden you get diarrhea attack while playing live?
@@MSM5500 No computer is immune to crashing, comparing it to a diarrhea is not even possible cause at least you know and feel like you will sh*t yourself hours before, a computer just crashes tf out of nowhere, no matter if you have the most powerful one, there's always the possibility to have it crashing, be it for ambiental factors, moves that may make the hard drive jump, etc., several friends had this issue, and myself had this to happen to me live 2 times, they all have used different piano/synth softwares and some even used to make loops there, I decided to just save some money and buy a decent digital piano that does the job for live events, at least you know right there you won't deal with delay, crashing, low battery, extra cables, weird converters, etc., specially if you go from gig to gig and need something quick to set up. Not saying it's the only valid thing, but depending on a "third part" like a computer for your playing, to me is comparable to be walking on a thin plank bridge between two mountains far away from each other
Casio brighter sound, Rolando mellow sound, i guess, subjective.
I might ask him what triple sensors do.

You say entry level Pianos? I play the Piano for about 10 years now and I just got the Fp-10 and I think it's not a entry level Piano!?
Read the very first sentence on the Roland website for the FP10 at www.roland.com/global/products/fp_series/fp-10/
No is entry level also
@@PianoManChuck read the Last sentence! It's a perfect Piano for experienced players.
@@floriangrasselt5350 No argument there - Roland's first and last sentences are quite accurate.... but I think you are interpreting "entry level piano" with "beginner" which is not accurate.
Roland has a better sound
Now compare them to a Kawai ES110 for a real competitor haha
That's an extra $200 which is a lot for people in this budget range
@@Kougeru Since when?? I find it at exactly the same price where I live
@@Kougeru The FP10 and ES110 are both £400 digitals
@@Kougeru and the PXS1000 is actually more expensive than all of them at £500.
I have looked around china market before get my es110. I'm Just grab it from china to my country.
fp30(stand version) 590$
es110(stand version) 570$
Px1000(stand version) is 680$
If you want to fool around, use px1000 if you want practice especially classical song use fp10
FP10 doesn't support 3 pedals AFAIK. How important are they in playing classical music?
@@barefacedquestions im sorry i rarely see classical piece with sostenu pedal. Even my teacher say the two other pedal was rarely used because people will hardly hear the difference / no big impact for the sound you made...
CMIIW 😄 I am not expert im still learning too... so in my opinion if you not play or practice spesific piece that using the other pedal they just made the most importance pedal wich is sustain pedal
@@harkerroland9750 Thanks for the reply. My beginner ears can't hear it either 😅.
@@barefacedquestions glad i can help u my friend
Fp 30 is the best!
Fp 10 is only for home use.
But both sound musch better than casio ;))
And the touch are much heavier
