Roland GO:Piano 88 Digital Piano Overview
Here’s What Roland Say:
"The GO:Piano 88 is the most portable and lightweight 88 note semi-weighted keyboard in the Roland GO Series. It will suit travelling musicians, students and buskers, as it can also be battery powered. The inbuilt speakers mean you can instantly turn the keyboard on and get straight into playing. The is an ideal practice tool for the bedroom or places where space is at a premium. The Bluetooth technology means that you can connect to your favourite Smart Device and play along to music and MIDI tracks or use it as a Bluetooth Speaker. The GO:Piano 88 comes with a 3-year warranty when registering your product with Roland Backstage."
The GO:Piano 88 has semi-weighted ivory feel keys, inbuilt speakers and is able to be powered by batteries (comes with a power supply).
The Roland GO:Piano 88 is the first keyboard in the Roland Digital Piano range to feature 88 keys, which is the same amount you will find on an Acoustic Grand Piano. This is important for pianists, as it means they have the same amount note play as an Acoustic, meaning it isn’t overwhelming when sitting down at one. The GO:Piano 88 dispenses the many distractions that can typically be found on a Digital Piano, focusing on 4 sounds to make it as simple to use as possible. With 1 Piano, 1 Electric Piano, 1 String Ensemble and 1 organ, this is the choice for pianists that need something light-weight and without unnecessary bell and whistles.
As the flagship Digital Piano in the Roland GO Series, the GO:Piano 88 boasts the most powerful speakers in the range. With x2 10w speakers, there’s more than enough power to play with other musicians and perform at small gigs.
The GO-88P is the only keyboard in the Roland GO Series to come with both a Roland DP-2 Damper Pedal and a Music Rest.
It has Bluetooth MIDI and Audio connectivity, allowing you to play along to your favourite songs directly from your Smart Device. You can use the Piano Partner 2 app to play along to accompaniments, play games, score the built-in songs and keep a diary of your practice. PP2 also opens the door to third-party apps, such as Piano Dustbuster 2, PiaScore, Sheet Music Direct, Skoove and Animoog.
Bluetooth Audio could possibly be the most useful feature in the GO:Piano 88, as it allows you to wirelessly connect your favourite Smart Device and stream the audio through the speakers of the Piano. This means you can play along to your favourite artists as if you were in the band.
It’s never too late to learn a musical instrument and the GO:Piano 88 is the most simple solution for those that are self-confessed technophobes!
It is lightweight, slim and ready for the road.
