I love this model. It's a relic and a lot of popular bands in the 80's had one of these (either that or the RD-200/250 or MKS-20 module). Even today people are using these keyboards, mostly in gospel groups. I've owned mine about 6 years now and won't give it up for anything. I think the sounds are very expressive and fit the style of music I play. Comments About the Sounds: It really depends on the "sound" you're looking for. A lot of folks are looking for keyboards that actually sound like a real piano. This is not the keyboard for you. We're talking 80's technology here. I don't think there were any keyboards in the market during that time that delivered acoustic piano sounds. The piano's sound very synthetic. Believe it or not though, a lot of people actually like that sound, including myself. I really think Roland started something when they released this model. It seemed like other keyboard companies tried to emulate or recreate "that sound". It is still quite popular in a lot of gospel music groups. |
