Rated 5/5

Fun and Portable . . .

I'm loving my 2-year old Go-Keys!
A keyboard I can carry anywhere and play for fun.

I've never even gotten into any of the auto stuff,
got a lot to learn yet.

One problem : I finally wanted to hook up to an amp, and it didn't seem to work. I think I had the wrong cable. Can I ask what cable do you need ????

Also ... the biggest disappointment is in the organ selection. They've got so many synth sounds, many more than you'd ever want to use, but ZERO "Hammond" sounds! Now, you'd think Rolland would have a Hammond sound they could have included ... along with a decent rotary sound.

Overall, it's a sweet little machine! Once I can figure out how to get it hooked up to my Bose L1, I could (theoretically) use it with a Neo Ventilator Leslie speaker simulator and it would be a killer!

Sweetwater is the best and I am a customer for life.
Music background: Professional keyboard,mostly piano music from 30s a d 40s

This is the PERFECT Busking Keyboard

I've been playing keys for over 30 years. I recently started busking, for fun and as a way to get out of the house and share some music and smiles. This keyboard has now gone with me to NYC and performed in front of Central Park. It has traveled with me to a gig in Indiana. It's the perfect keyboard to travel by plane with, because it is extremely lightweight and even with a hardshell PVC case it is only around 25 lbs total. The feel of the keys is adjustable, and although it does not feel like a piano, you can be very expressive with it and play piano parts on it with ease. It has built in speakers. It has an aux in that is perfect for running vocals through without a mixer. It has some great onboard sounds on it, and it is battery powered!

This board is my go-to board now for any travel I do. I can take it with me and play just about anywhere. If you're looking for a serious keyboard with piano feel and lots of features, this probably isn't the keyboard for you. But if you are a keyboardist who wants a very lightweight and portable keyboard that has good sounds and a good feel to it that you can literally take anywhere, this is the perfect keyboard for you! Combine it with an iLoud speaker or a Roland Cube and you've got a perfect busking rig.
Music background: Playing for 30+ years and counting

great buy

Girlfriend loves this keyboard....enough said
Rated 5/5

Awsome especially for the price

I love this thing, I take it with me when traveling to do my piano lessons on and absolutely love it.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
