Thanks for the great instrument presentation. I have a question: can I record my own song directly onto a USB drive in MIDI format on this Roland? I’d like to insert a USB drive into the USB port, play a piece in MIDI recording mode, then remove the USB drive and insert it into my computer (which is in another room) to import it into Logic Pro as MIDI. Best regards.
No you can't. It would be much easier to just connect the RD to your computer and record your midi performance in real time while using the RD internal sounds. Just mute the vst while you're recording. The default ON setting in TxMode is useful for exactly that.
@@RabihRihana Many thanks for answer ! May You know if is possible to use RD internal sounds sending MIDI files from DAW to RD and record waves back to DAW in same time ?
Tough to compete with a 20+ velocity layers deeply sampled piano library. I would say the Roland pianos fall below something like the Modern D. But what's really still special about having a decent sounding piano inside your digital piano is the immediacy and hardware/software integration. There is no middle man, no latency (no matter how low it can be set) to interfere with the connection to the instrument :)
Gorgeous ! May I ask if the keyboard is connected to speakers and if so, what model of your speakers are? Because I have the Roland RD88 and as soon as I connect it with my BOSE SP1 speaker I am quite bothered by the aggressive sound and not rounded enough for me. I find your sound very good, I would like to try to improve that. Thank you for your help.
Thank you! I use both speakers and headphones, depends on my mood to what to play on. I have a pair of HS80M studio monitors and I have 3 headphones. I suggest you get some quality monitors like Yamaha HS5 and position close to your playing position, not very far from you. That should help. The sound you're hearing in the video has nothing to do with speakers or headphones I'm using though. I recorded the audio from the RD into my digital audio workstation (Studio One).
Depends if you really want those new pianos or not. In my opinion, they are more suitable for solo recording work as opposed to live gigs, due to the "warm" nature on the majority of them. They're pretty convincing, dynamic and full sounding. Really up to you. The Rd-88 Concert grand patches are pretty nice too, i like the Mellow Grand 2 a lot!
@@omarg7702 Not a Nord fan. Some of the patches are quite fine, but the action is not the equal of Roland IMO. You can tweak sound; you can't tweak action. And I don't care for Nord's build quality. Just me.

That sounds GREAT. The RD-88 and the playing that is. 👍👍
Incredible performance.
Thanks 🙏🏻
it kinda sounds like the piano of kyle landry used on his "howls moving castle" piano cover video.

Nice work!! How do you compare these hardware pianos on Roland, with, for example, VST plugins like VI Labs Modern D?

@@RabihRihana so audio in the video is from studio one? audio from monitors could be similar to the video?
RD-88 ---> Studio One ---> OBS ---> TH-cam
Lovely as always! How do you like the key action on the Roland? Cheers!
Thanks. I love it. It's the main reason i got the board actually. It's a bit on the heavy side but that's how i like them!
thank you very much for playing
Do you think Supernatural Acoustic Pianos 3 has improved a lot compared to the past?
Hey thanks no problem. Last time i owned a Roland was in 1990 so i don't know.
@@RabihRihana thank you for your explanation
Does the RD-88 EX have the same keybed as the FP30X?
Yes :)
@@RabihRihana More reason for me to get one.
I have a Fantom 07, can i install these sounds on? where can i find?
Yes if you install the Fantom EX upgrade.
In Fantom 0 no Ex upgrade
Ah I see. You can't then.
So, I've played the RD88 for almost 4 years. In your opinion, is it worth it to "upgrade" to the EX?

@@RabihRihana Thank you, sir. I really do like my RD88. Have not found anything I like better--including the Nords.
@@selftrue670wow really? Even sound quality wise?

Good lows, inconsistent mids, unnatural hight.
Pianos don’t have height
suona un po' piu' brillante ... tipo yamaha ...
