Excellent bread-and-butter sounds. Even better with the SRX expansion boards, but they're a bit too pricey. Certainly not the best sounds on the market; but, for my money, the best balance of sounds and action I could find. I prefer the Roland piano sounds to those of Yamaha and Korg. Kurzweil has some fantastic piano sounds ... but also has some incredible horror stories aobut support. GEM is also really nice. Yamaha's Motif has some nice articulations on some of their sound set that the Roland is sadly lacking (double-tonguing flutes, slaps and slides on acoustic bass, etc).

This is a stage piano and part-time synth. No more, no less. The rhythm kits are nice, but some other Roland and Yamaha keyboards have better accompaniment features for those that like to jam along with their keyboard. No sequencer ... didn't want one. No sampler ... didn't want one. Extra independent outputs would be a great addition.

Good. My power cord seems to fit a bit loosely, but it's never fallen out. That said, my keyboard never moves ... The bottom of the keyboard is particle board. Not a problem for me, but it's pretty heavy and I would expect it to be a bit more sensitive to humidity changes.

I bought mine about a year ago. I haven't seen much volatility in the price. (Actually, it's gone up by a few dollars). This is still a great value for the money.

Not the best ... not the worst. Your mileage may vary.

One of the more gorgeous keyboards out there, IMO.

Jazz

high quality sounds. best meat & potatoes unit for gigging keyboardist ever made. it covers needed sounds & lots of styles w/ very low cheese factor. i've used it live, on recording sessions & for multitibral MIDI stuff w/ no problems. it does what you need it to do. tweaking factory patches yields the best results. i sometimes wish Roland would concentrate more on quality than quantity....

tonewheel organ simulator is great. use sliders as drawbars. level sliders, assignable knobs, EQ knobs, control of effects right where you need it. best weighted kybd action ever - balanced like a real piano. it needs: a data entry wheel, slider or knob for live parameter changes instead of using increment buttons - ability to edit & store single sounds instead of just multisound setups - another set of assignable stereo outputs - more than 1 effect besides chorus & reverb (the effects are awesome) per setup - more SRX expansion, like 4 or 6 instead of 2. all of this would make it perfect.

i've dropped mine several times - it's solid as a rock.

totally professional sound out of just 1 keyboard. decent control features.

the roland guys on the phone are nice, but they usually can't help me because i knnow more about their stuff than they do.

i've convinced a few of my friends to get them already... it's nice looking.

anything

For an electric piano, this is one of the best sounding instruments I've heard. I've had a lot of experience with other brands of Elctric Pianos and the RD700 just blew me away with the sound it could produce. I look forward to seeing where Roland go after this!

Each individual instrument sound was very realistic. Swapping from one voice to another proved no hassles, and it was very easy to get a good balance between 2 voices at the same time.

The finish product is of a very high quality. I am unable to comment on how reliable it is because I have not used it myself for a long period of time, but I'm sure that like the other RD series it will prove to be very reliable, for a very long time.

To even find a keyboard with the same amount of features for the same price would be almost impossible. The RD700's price beats all other brands of keyboards and electric pianos and is priced at a reasonably good price for what it is.

Roland were very helpful when I needed my RD600 keyboard looked at. They were able to come out within a couple of days, and they also explained to me what the problem was, and how it was caused and what to do to stop it from happening in the future.

This is an electric piano that since I've seen it have been looking to get for myself. I don't have an eletric piano at the moment (but have had some in the past) and this is one that I simply want! The ability to be able to pack it up and take it elsewhere is a feature that I've been looking for.

Rock, Jazz, Classical etc.

I mostly use it for its piano/rhodes/wurly/clav sounds. The action is great, exellent response, quality sounds, and a wah sounds awesome with it. The keyboard is user friendly, though I dislike the configuration of a couple function I never use anyway. I've been gigging with it for a year and a half and couldn't be happier. Now the only thing Roland has to do is make it weigh about 5 pounds.

Rock, blues, jazz, funk
