Roland FP-30X BK

I recently acquired the Roland FP-30X BK and I'm absolutely thrilled with this digital piano. It brings together everything I was looking for and exceeds my expectations in terms of sound quality, touch response, and overall playability.

Starting with the sound, the FP-30X BK truly shines. The piano tones are rich, full, and incredibly realistic, thanks to Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine. Whether I'm playing classical pieces or experimenting with modern music, it always provides just the right amount of depth and nuance. The onboard speakers deliver a satisfyingly loud and clear sound that fills the room, but it also sounds great through headphones for more private practice sessions.

A weighted keyboard, textured keyboard, so not plasticky and slippery, nice key action… and a piano sound that makes me happy.
Really pleased with this purchase, that came nicely packaged and has a heft to it, which gives the peaker sound a nice volume and richness. I have watched reviews of yamaha equivalents, and even the cheaper model of this Roland… but to be honest, and extra £200 is well worth it formthe extras I may need. And the footpedal is fine, despite reviews slatignit. There is ONE small niggle. The metronome sound is atrocious, and vague to use and set speeds. A real afterthought. Which is why I am online with thomann buying a £30 metronome, made for the job. So hopefully problem solved. Not sure what Rolands problem is, if they can nail a piano sound, and yet not a nice wooden sounding metronome… a childs voice for gods sake… what were they thinking?

I chose this instrument after a long analysis of reviews and YouTube videos.
At first glance I liked it, and even in the videos the sound seemed extremely pleasant. Quite deep, slightly cold, and majestic grand piano tone.
You can find many reviews where users complain about the slow “response” of the keys and, in general, about the difficulty of playing this instrument.
On the contrary, I find the keyboard extremely pleasant and easy to play. For example, the 3rd movement of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” can be played at a fast tempo without problems or finger fatigue.

Of course, it lacks a convenient display or control panel for switching functions. Control is done via the FUNCTION button and pressing certain keys, which is not very convenient. In addition, there were some difficulties connecting the mobile app.
However, for piano practice as well as for playing through VST plugins, this instrument is perfect. I can achieve very good dynamics, the keys are responsive and convey nuances perfectly.

It is also worth noting the good quality of the other sounds built into the digital piano. In particular, the harpsichord sounds wonderful, and the string orchestra is also impressive, deep and monumental.
Overall, great experience so far.

This is the best piano you can get under 1000 euros. The touch, feel, and key action are excellent, and the sound is rich and pleasant to hear. The only drawback is that the speakers are placed underneath the piano, and changing sounds requires using key combinations. Since I often play with split mode, I connect to the Roland app to access sounds. The app itself is fantastic—you can switch sounds instantly, play MIDI, learn songs, record, and even modify tones. I recommend this piano both for beginners and for advanced players who can’t afford higher-priced models. Overall, this is the best piano in its class!

Vine intr-o cutie bine ambalata, astfel ca nu prea are cum sa se zgarie.
Livrarea a fost ok, o mica intarziere, dar fara probleme.

Sunete de calitate.
Sunetul de pian e calitativ. Are niste pad-uri chiar faine. Boxele sunt suficiente sa faca fata intr-o incapere mare, de 45 de metri precum a mea. Nu am simtit bazaituri sau distortion in boxe nici cu volumul la maxim. De la un volum mediu in jos, suna putin infundat, cred ca din cauza ca are boxele indreptate in jos. In casti se aude foarte bine.
Din aplicatie poti accesa si mai multe tonuri care nu sunt accesibile din butoanele din clapa.

Clapele simuleaza foarte bine un pian acustic, Sunt grele si raspund destul de bine. E o placere sa canti pe ea.

Nu e cea mai intuitiva interfata. Unele functii, precum cele de metronom sunt greu de inteles. Dar cu ajutorul aplicatiei e foarte simplu.

Imi place ca are conexiune bluetooth. M-am conectat si la GarageBand prin bluetooth si a mers foarte bine.

Per total, sunt foarte multumit si o recomand.
