I have a Roland E86 which has been sitting idle for years. I am wondering if I can set it up as an additional sound module to use alongside other sound modules I currently have. Looking through the manual I can find no reference to the MSB and LSB numbers I would normally use. Can someone advise the following? 1) Is it possible to use the E86 as a sound module? 2) If so what are the MSB and LSB numbers? 3) Are there special settings I will need to enter on the E86 to access it as a sound module? Thanks Statistics: Posted by Mervc — Sun May 19, 2024 1:12 am ..read more

Yeah, must have been a glitch. They changed it to €385. Lucky me Meanwhile the 3 has arrived. Will check it out this week. Statistics: Posted by Fleer — Sun May 19, 2024 12:45 am ..read more

I actually ordered the Go Keys 3 from a new (to me) store in Leipzig, Germany, for €289 plus shipping. Should arrive tomorrow That sounds like a good deal! Here in the UK it would be £334/€384 for the same keyboard Statistics: Posted by Saul — Wed May 15, 2024 8:54 am ..read more

My Go Keys 5 still hasn’t arrived. Not did the SeqTrak. Just went ahead and ordered a (blue) Go Keys 3 from another store. We’ll see what gets here first I am guessing that next day delivery is not really a thing in the USA? Statistics: Posted by Saul — Tue May 14, 2024 8:59 am ..read more

I would imagine it is a bit like the inkjet printer sales model. Sell the hardware relatively cheap and make profit on the addons, which in this case would be sound packs and/or subscriptions. Sound packs are a modest $4.99 each. For Roland it is the gift that keeps on giving. GO:KEYS 3 and 5 owners can continually reinvent this keyboard to completely suit their own needs. That makes for a really good, forward thinking marketing strategy on Roland's part. The manufacturing cost would be a lot less than $175.00. That would be the price a retailer would normally buy at from the manufacturer ..read more

If it's as good as advertised for almost free I pose the same question I did with the SeqTrak Yamaha released. Why shoot yourself in the foot and undermine your high end gear and make available very affordable offerings that sound as good as a Fantom etc.? At least the SeqTrak doesn't have real keys. There has to be a logical catch to risk sales to your main line gear. OR we're getting ripped off on the main line gear that is realistically only worth half of what they are charging us. Something doesn't add up so where's any profit to be made? IF profit is in the $350 price and the dealer ge ..read more

From what I have heard so far the GO:KEYS 3 & 5 sound great. Better than anything else at this price point by quite some margin. But then having Zencore at it's heart, that is not so surprising. What I am a little puzzled by is the very low key announcement from Roland. I didn't even know these keyboards existed until two weeks after they were released! And even then, Andertons had only put out their video one day before I got the news. It seems odd because this is actually quite a game-changer in keyboards in this, I suppose we would call "entry level" but in reality it is a base version ..read more

Ordered the 5. We’ll see. Nice, we would be mostly interested to get a review. From YT and since it's using Zencore, I expect the sound to be pretty good. But I would be very interested in a review of the built in rhythms and arrangements and keybed. Statistics: Posted by sonic2000gr — Wed May 08, 2024 4:47 am ..read more
