I think the BK5 can run with the big boys...

Piano and drums compete with anyone..

What do you think?

It looks like this video recorded the room with just the BK5 speakers..I see the sustain pedal plugged in and the power supply..

And of course, you are still not trying to sell yours are you Fran

D

Not for me. The piano sounded fine, but that's as far as I would go.

Good luck on selling yours, Fran,

Gary

Nice playing...BK5 is really a nice arranger KB.....
btw,..with a great apartment like that couldn't he afford a Kb stand lol....

Yes, I agree with you Fran. It does have great pianos, bass and drums. May be some of the other acoustic tones are better done on the other arranger boards. When played through good monitors, the Roland shines in these sound categories.

Drums, drums, drums... without the backbone of pop music as good as this, you can keep all your fancy RH sounds!

Dennis, no I am not trying to sell my BK5...I did a test market on Ebay, with a "make offer" giving me the option "not to sell"..

If I wanted to sell the BK5, I do have a couple friends interested in it...and they were not approached...

Honestly, the BK5 does so many things right, it is hard not to own one..
I know there is at least one SZ friend that thought his BK5 was "toyish" in sound compared to the BK7m...but he had something wrong...they are the same sound engine

Why test the market...you say....Rumors of a 76 key BK are in the works...

Fair enough m8, only teasing

Dennis

PS: with Roland there are always rumors, but it does usually seem to be the case that the reality is nowhere near as promising as the rumor.

Heck, that thing sounds great to me. That last song, which is using the arranger backing, is as good as I have heard other than Audya.

Styles sound better on the BK-5 than they do on G-70...more detail.

Right hand sounds are mediocre at best, although some of the pianos and e.pianos are pretty decent.
