Dear Rivertone Piano Team. Thank you very very much for your great work and your energy you are putting into those videos. We all very much appreciate it. They help us all enormously to get a better overview of the instruments available on the market and their qualities. I decided on the LX-9 from Roland a few days ago because of this video. :-) Unfortunately, I have to say that my LX-9 doesn't sound good at all. Since I'm a beginner and can't play any pieces myself, I played the MIDI samples (or demo samples) available in the piano memory. The piano sounds absolutely terrible. The sounds are mixed, they boom and there is no clarity. The piano sounds dull, really muddy. I also played with the piano designer and turned down the resonance a lot, but the corrections don't have much of an effect. So my question here: Are the MIDI samples in the digital piano generally representative of the quality of the playback? Up until now I'm only used to good HIFI stereo sound, but even with headphones the saved pieces are almost unbearable. Many thanks in advance for your tips :-) Best wishes from Switzerland

Hello and thanks for your question. Fortunately, there are a couple of easy solutions to your problem. Firstly, pre-recorded MIDI files use General MIDI (or GM2) sounds. These are universal sounds that work on all piano brands, but they do not represent the true sound of any one brand. They never sound as good as the piano's main Grand Piano sound. If you have an LX-9, you have a LOVELY instrument. The General MIDI sounds are a VERY poor way of hearing what it can do. Have someone who plays play it for you using the built-in ROLAND Grand Piano sound. It's a big difference. Also, you can customize the Roland sound in the Piano Designer section of the Roland Piano App. With some simple tweaks, you can adjust the model to sound the way you want it. In my experience, this can make anybody - from the most inexperienced beginner to the most demanding professional - happy. ...so - in short - don't use MIDI sounds to test the quality of the piano's sound and customize the built-in sound until you're happy with it. Have the company you bought if from show you how to do this and you'll be VERY happy with your piano!

Roland page says the LX-5 also has the new amplification system with the full digital path. I got a little confused by this review. All the 3 models should have the same Piano Reality Projection.

Hi, Fabiano, and thank you for your comment! Because of you, we double-checked that information and you are correct. The Roland LX-5 DOES include the digital audio circuit. We've made that correction in the description and we'll leave it in the comments here. Thanks for pointing that out! As for all three models having the same Piano Reality Projection, I just want to mention that they all have different speaker systems and amplifiers... so I wouldn't make THAT claim, but they do all have the digital audio circuit. Phew! These specs can get confusing! Thanks for the help!

Struggling to decide between the HP704 or LX5, any advice?

Hi there! I would definitely take a close look at the LX-5. The new speaker system is fantastic! It sounds ALOT better than the 704 (though we love the 704 too)! Worth trying them both out in person!

great video. I'm hoping to buy a piano either later this year or early next and have been wondering about the differences between the LX and GP lines - this is the first video I've seen that compares the two ranges, rather than focussing on just a single range. Your Roland Owner's Club sounds interesting - but I'm in the UK, so in it's current offering can't use it. Have you considered doing a cut-down version for purchase by anyone/anywhere as some of the things look interesting? e.g. just the downloadable content without the support package?

Thanks, Jonathan! Thank you for your kind words! We wanted to demystify the two lines for folks since the terminology Roland uses is similar, but different for each line. Glad this helped! Also, we do have a "cut down" version of our Roland Owner's Club. It's $299 and it's available here: www.rivertonpiano.com/online/digital/roland/special-owners-club.php

U have a comparison between the Lx-6 and the Lx -708

@RivertonPianoCompany 4 ай бұрын

No because the LX-708 is discontinued and gone. I can tell you that the LX-6 has the new digital audio circuit, the new Piano Reality sound chip, the new touch-panel display, the new high-speed key sensors, and a new 5-speaker Piano Reality Projection sound system. The LX-708 uses the old Pure Acoustic sound chip, has the older push button display, features a key action with the slower sensors but with haptic feedback, and has a 8-speaker surround sound system. The LX-708 was replaced by the LX-9. Hope that helps!
