I have a FP60X and the sheet stand is awfully small. On this model it is much wider. Are stands compatible and is it possible to buy a better stand for the FP60X?
No because it isnt multitimberal midi, has only 1 midi channel in and out and doesnt have GM sounds. I have to use my 19 year old Casio keyboard for midi backing tracks. Want expecting that. Ruins an otherwise brilliant keyboard.
A POTENTIALLY HUGE ISSUE THAT IS OVERLOOKED IN MOST ONLINE REVIEWS ON THE ROLAND FP-E50 is the fact that MIDI implementation on the FP-E50 is crippled: it sends and receives on one MIDI channel only. So if you have created a dual sound that you love - say a piano-pad combination - and you send it to your DAW, you will only get ONE of those sounds when you play the performance back. That's right, that beloved dual voice that you painstakingly created on the FP-E50 and saved to a "scene" will only be played back through the FP-E50 by the DAW as a SINGLE VOICE. In other words, in this case, you can hear the piano, but not the pad. The FP-E50 can't play dual instruments AND it can't play split keyboard performances back through your DAW. This is a very basic maneuver for anyone using a DAW: record a performance from a piano, make changes on the DAW, play it back on the piano, and then record the perfected performance into audio. Nope. Not gonna do it on this with dual voices or keyboard splits. It also will not record anything to MIDI on the keyboard and export to the DAW. And you won't be able to play multiple FP-E50 instruments on multiple tracks on your instrument (on different MIDI channels) from your DAW. What instrument these days only sends and receives on one MIDI channel each? The FP-E50 is not a multi-timbral instrument with respect to MIDI. The RD-88 is. While the latter does not have a record or accompaniment function it SHOULD (I don't own one) perform these basic MIDI functions with dual sounds, keyboard splits and multiple instruments on multiple MIDI channels as is normally expected. For the home user, the lack of a recorder and accompaniment is easily compensated for by the simple purchase of something like Band-in-a-Box for a hundred bucks. None of the reviews I've seen online has addressed this "disability" and no one in the stores was able to explain this to me in advance (and I really tried to find out). WHAT WAS ROLAND THINKING (??) when they crippled the FP-E50 in this way??? I wish I had purchased the RD-88 or some other piano for my home use to connect to my DAW.
Regarding your last question, the answer is "reduce costs", since the piano had to be of a cost that did not exceed the cost of the fp-60x despite having many more functions.
do you understand how much time you spend writing the same comment under every video relevant to this digital stage piano? I don't want to sound rude or be aggressive but for god sake... you get so much value with this instrument, ok Roland didn't state it clearly. Do your self a favor, sell it and move on...❤
@@pamboscharalambous3770 Did that. It's unfortunate that Roland made an interesting keyboard but with odd deficits. It would be a good keyboard for some folks who are not interested in MIDI. Not for me. Not for others either who would reasonably assume the keyboard has a feature set that is normally expected. I wanted people to know what they were getting upfront so they wouldn't be unhappily surprised. Especially because very few, if any, reviews point out these deficits. I sold the keyboard and purchased a Yamaha MX 88 and am very pleased.
@@pamboscharalambous3770 Yes. I sold it and got a Yamaha MX88 that does the expected operations. I made the posts because I didn't want others to have the unhappy surprise I had. See @davidmulcahy4864 post below.

Hi - nicely done - who is artist for your soundcheck piece "improvisation"? And when will you have stock on the e50?
Midi input to control a roland boutique?
How much does it weight packed?
Box is 144 x 35 x 45 cm and weighs 26 kg. ☺️🎹👍🏻
Hay 👋

Price?
excellent
does this keyboard have the option to just play a drum accompaniment with not chordal accompaniment
Yes. That is possible. :-)
Does this keyboard play midi files with chord and lyric display
Like G70 and BK9

@@davidmulcahy4864 Yup. Exactly what I was talking about.
How much does it weigh?
17 kg

Is this guy happy to open the keyboard or not my goodness comeon bro this is dead.
Player looks cramped with that keyboard. Knee at the piano and big elbow bend. Way too thick a piano for tall people.
