Roland - FP-10

The Roland FP-10 88-key digital piano is the entry-level model in Roland's acclaimed FP series. Its realistic touch and Roland's SuperNATURAL sound engine deliver rich, dynamic piano sounds.

The FP-10 is the only keyboard in its price range to offer both string resonance simulation and natural piano resonance, making the sound even richer and more organic.

The Roland FP-10's expressive PHA-4 hammer action keyboard offers the responsiveness of an acoustic piano, whether you're playing with a hard or soft touch. With a heavier hammer weight in the lower registers and a lighter hammer weight in the upper registers, as well as high-resolution detection and escapement for rapid key repeat, the PHA-4 keyboard faithfully translates the most subtle differences in dynamics and tone. A revolutionary moisture-absorbing material recreates the natural texture and tactile feel of real ivory on the keys. Real fake!

The FP-10 lets you adjust the touch sensitivity of the keyboard to make the velocity of your keystrokes more or less sensitive. You can choose from 5 preset settings: super heavy, heavy, medium (default), light, super light and fixed. The fixed setting deactivates touch sensitivity, meaning that the piano produces the same volume regardless of how hard or soft you play.

The FP-10's built-in speakers provide expressive sound, while the headphone jack allows you to practice in silent keyboard mode at any time. Other features include a built-in Bluetooth and USB MIDI interface for connecting to Garage Band, computers or DAW software, and a double piano mode for lessons, allowing students and teachers to play side by side in the same octave ranges.

If you want an 88-note piano, but don't have the space (or the means) for a classical piano, the Roland FP-10 is the answer. One of the most compact 88-note digital pianos in its class, the FP-10, with its dimensions of 1284 x 258 mm (width x depth), allows you to place this instrument almost anywhere. For even more flexibility on the move, use the KS-12 Portable Keyboard Stand - or get that authentic piano look with the dedicated KSCFP-10 stand (both sold separately).

Overall, the Roland FP-10 is a very good keyboard, hard to beat in this price range. It also makes the FP-10 a good option for someone looking for a good, realistic MIDI keyboard.
