I'm getting a new DP very soon. Problem is which one? Only one I can demo is the Roland FP 30. No screen or 1/4" outs puts me off that one. Casio 360 is just a small upgrade from my current 350. Touch screen and improved sounds are nice but the keyboard and basic piano sounds are the same. So now I'm leaning toward the Roland FP90. Can link it to an app for lots of extras and supposedly has a whole new sound source and keybed. But heavy ! Really not planning to gig with it so that's a minor problem.
Please tell me more about your impressions of the FP90. Hard to buy sight unseen.
Had a chance this morning tonsit behind the fp90 again, it was standing next to a kronos 88, which i own and an fp50 and a kawai mp7
The touch of the pha-50 keybed is incredible, for piano it was better suited then all 3 others, it even made the RH3 which i am used to dor piano parts feel like a 2nd rate keybed (but then the rh3 is a trade off, its also suited to play fast syth and organ parts to some extend) but for comfort, controll and touch, the fp90(and so will the rd2000) is a perfect instrument..
About the piano sounds (and the many other sounds) i can be clear, they are typically Roland sounds, if you like Roland sounds, they are perfect... i personally like them better for piano and organ than any other Dp..
The fp90 is quite easy to operate, straightforward, you can add a2nd sound and kayer or split it... nice direct controll over the volume of both layers and the totall eq..indeed more then enough for most piano players...
Sound trough the onboard speakers is also quite okay, for build in speakers its actually very good, its kind of unfair to compare them to my studio monitors or some kind of high end pa
