New Baby
Posted By Scott on November 18, 2011
After two years plus playing almost solely on the Roland Juno Stage I decided to try something else .. something hopefully better. Not that I don’t like the Stage, it’s more that I just wanted to expand my horizons and try a weighted realistic keybed again. I did have an older RD700 which I thought was pretty stiff feeling on the key presses. Of course the RD700 didn’t have any newish gizzmo features either .. thus it got sold a few months ago.
Roland FP-7F
My search for a next keyboard took several weeks but I finally decided on a Roland FP-7F that has the new PA III ivory feel escapement 88 key bed. I’m not going to do a review on it here but I do want to mention one of the big selling points for me. The built in song player on it will display lyrics. So that means I can record my Boss DR-880 patterns into Sonar, add chord notations and then play them on the FP-7F. This is something I really wanted to be able to do. I’ll be creating a detailed video slide show on Youtube about how I manage to port my DR-880 patterns over to the FP-7F.
