Roland GO:Keys 61 Key Music Creation Keyboard Overview
The GO:Keys has semi-weighted ivory feel keys, inbuilt speakers and is able to be powered by batteries (comes with power supply).
The Roland GO:Keys boasts the widest variety of onboard sounds in the GO Series, with a whopping 500 instruments and 128 note polyphony. Derived from Roland’s acclaimed pro synthesizers, the GO:Keys has a sound library that caters for everyone.
It has Bluetooth MIDI and Audio connectivity, allowing you to play along to your favourite songs directly from your Smart Device. You can use many apps to play along to accompaniments, play games and control software instruments wirelessly on your Smart Device. Bluetooth also opens the door to third-party apps, such as Piano Dustbuster 2, PiaScore, Sheet Music Direct, Skoove and Animoog.
The Loop Mix is a unique take on producing a modern backing on a keyboard. You can easily control 5 different instruments (3 Main, 1 Bass and Drums) within a song, and play on the top. You can create tension and release, by having complete control of all the different parts. There are 990 accompaniment patterns, including Rhythm Patterns, Bass Lines, Melodic Patterns and you can perform the Lead Line over the top. The GO:61K is built to make playing the keyboard fun.
The Go:Keys is lightweight, slim and ready for the road.
If you are looking for a keyboard that is more geared towards traditional piano/classical sounds, check out the GO:Piano 61.
The GO:Keys 61 fits perfectly into the Roland CB-B49 Black 49-Note Keyboard Bag and onto the Roland KS-10X Single Braced Keyboard Stand.
