Roland FP-E50

I already tested fp50e on the big festival stage and it was perfect and this is very good instrument but this is heavy so first advise if You are planning taking it for the show consider obtaining a bag with wheels
Playing it for 5 months I can mention lack of basic backing track they are quite specific, I'm not talking about auto accompaniment, another thing that I can't save my favourite tune in split mode in 1-2-3-4-5 favourite bank only in scene(special archive which is not one touch available)
And note that speakers underneath so putting on the table isn't solution you need to purchase keyboard stand or play with headphones
Overall this is a very interesting stage piano with lots of features something like plugging mic and sing with effects etc
And of course you can use it as a midi keyboard to record music (not using sound of piano but sounds of your DAW and plugins) but the piano sounds os great thanks to super-natural engine
By the way there are lots of interesting sound which can help create cinematic music and do the same on the stage
And this product is affordable considering high quality and features that offers this piano
I really like display showing chords name that I play in real time
Considering all of this and the fact that keys feels the same as on real Piano and Grand Piano and ability to play it with headphones I recommend it to people who wants to learn playing piano but wants to do that in interesting, exiting way
P.s you can lower key touch which means you don't need to play at the beginning as hard as on real acoustic instruments, very useful feature if you are beginner or have health issues of hands

It's been more than a year since I bought it, now I can write this review. I don't understand the bad rates... it's a great multi-purpose keyboard for the price. I'm not a piano pro, but I have (or had) a piano, several keyboards, hard & soft synths, etc. The keys are very good: slightly softer than my piano, but not too soft. I find the action is very nice for practicing in the evenings when I'm tired. The piano sound is not as good as a top model, but I find it good enough. I bought an expansion with nice pianos, but I wouldn't say they are better than the built-in ones, just different. Now let's compare it with a synth. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't like to be distracted with knobs and sliders when I want to practice chord progressions or improvise. Arpeggiators in synths are great, but I tend to lose the playing inspiration the moment I start tweaking them. That's why I wanted a simple interface and rhythms and this keyboard ticks all the boxes very well for the price. The rhythms that come with the FP-e50 are not good for electronic music, but you can download some nice ones for free from the Roland cloud. About the sounds: the factory sounds are nice and there is a bit of everything. Paying some money you can get interesting sounds with special effects, fixed arpeggiations and some filters controllable from the mod wheel. It doesn't turn the e50 into a synth but it's cool. I like some of them, they make this instrument more interesting. The user interface is not perfect, I understand the designers had to prioritize simplicity, but it's good that you can save your scenes, making it easier to access the sounds and rhythms. If you like sound editing, this is not your synth at all... but I find the FP-e50 to be a very good compromise. The speakers have good volume but not very good quality in sound detail. First thing I did was to connect good external speakers. I have thought many times if I should have bought something else and I don't think so. Well done Roland, I think you offer something with interesting sounds and expansion capabilities and a design that is encouraging for playing!
