Just purchased Roland's WC-1 wifi thumb drive...so easy to load up new styles and sounds...this is so much easier than loading styles from either yamaha or korg arrangers.

[@phillc]

Ahhhh! That changes the game! Bananas! VERY SMART ADDITION Steve! GO KEYS! 💪💪💪

[@DTmaster]

aight thanks for making this video ❤ i requested more backing tracks and my wish was granted 😊 Tomorrow a buyer comes for the mx61 and when that's done i'm gonna buy the black Go keys 5 but it isn't actually 100% black but still looks good enough for me.

[@phillc]

Good deal Roderick! Congratulations on this new development! GO KEYS! Let's GO!

[@DTmaster]

@@phillc Thanks man

[@glennmeader626]

Tech note: Somehow the audio is not properly synced with the video on this. I hear the notes, then a few seconds later I see you play them on the keyboard.

[@JoeLinux2000]

He talked about that. It was to do with the camera.

[@tonylyons7711]

Be nice to hear what vocals sound like through it phil..👍

[@phillc]

I have a video somewhere. The harmony is 😑 but the mic is standard. 60%

[@phillc]

Hey Tony! I created a new video. I hope it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enO8Xqyin7Z_jNE

[@tonylyons7711]

A I coming closer! 😊..Their is so much in this if your a songwriter but a vocalist 1st..so many chord sequences to chose from . Nice review..👌

[@phillc]

Thank you Tony! Absolutely so much indeed. Great ideas for songwriters and fun for vocalists too.

[@jjacob25101]

Also, you can input your own chord changes.

[@Sinclairity]

Hello Phill, thanx for your review. Is it possible to change sounds and drumsets within the styles?

[@phillc]

Thank you Helmut! Let me check into this and I will get back to you.

[@phillc]

Unfortunately this does not appear possible Helmut. I tried some things to no avail.

[@Sinclairity]

@@phillc Thanks for your efforts.

[@8ypicals726]

Hey! I hope you can help me: Is it normal that while using a scene the sound you do on the keybed yourself is very low? I looked up the mixer and keybed is 127 tone and others too. Thank you.

[@phillc]

Yes. Without headphones on, it could sound low, but you need to keep the volume high in your mixer, amp or DAW. Remember there are some sounds that are so poor, you have to double them as a layer using DUAL. Or lower the style accompaniment to balance things out.

[@8ypicals726]

@@phillc Thank you so much! I tried Concert Piano with the first Style. I almost couldnt hear my play but the style is very loud! And on the same 127 volume in Mixer. I will try to minimize style Sound then, a bit inconvenient though.

[@phillc]

@@8ypicals726 There you go! That is the way to do it! It is all in the Mixer!

[@mugman100]

With the original gokeys you can layer by pressing record, then playing your recording while playing something over the top, and continue on making a full song. Kind of like looping but actually layering. I just bought a 5 and when I press the record button while a previous recording is playing, it doesn’t record over the top, it stops and starts a new recording. How to you record over the top on the new 5? Thanks much

[@JoeLinux2000]

Good question.

[@phillc]

Hey @mugman! There appears to be a bug. I experienced some inconsistencies too. I will reach out to Roland.

[@mugman100]

@@phillc thanks a lot!

[@Elazarko]

Do you get used to the 61 keys? How do you combat that when you want that full ~81 key range?

[@phillc]

@elazarkotkes, I grew up with the 61 keys for a very long time so i just shift into that mode and focus more on the music than what I am missing! I can cope ok. 88 keys works for me on piano more than anything else but the challenge of just having 61, makes me stretch my capability. A nice challenge. I have a 3 octave Micro Korg too so that helps me cope too.

[@igorkirilin7070]

Здравствуйте ,Фил ! Пожалуйста скажите , длина белой клавиши 13 или 14 см ?

[@phillc]

Привет, Игорь! Длина белой клавиши составляет 14 см. Привет, Игорь! У меня скоро будет видео на эту тему. Жди с нетерпением!

[@JoeLinux2000]

I'm torn between the 3 and the 5. $350.00 seems to be as much as I care to spend on a small undersized unweighted keyboard. I have had keyboards this same size going back 30 years ago. Of course this sounds much better. I know you feel the 5 is worth the extra $150.00. The problem is that' for $500.00 you are getting into the fully weighted 88 key instruments. The two allegedly sound about the same. The main thing I see is the expression pedal input in the 5 which is always nice if you are serious player. To me this thing sounds dynamite. I think there could be a 88 key version with a weighted action on the drawing boards at Roland. The advantage of these smaller one is their portability. There could still be very valid reasons for choosing the smaller ones so I guess the real question is 3 or 5?

[@phillc]

Hey George! Why do you think you need GO KEYS 5? Here is some sense-making: - Will you perform outside for the horses at the barn? Lol I know you love them, but you ain't playing outside! - Will you be singing? If no, you do not need 5 - Will you be playing live into an amplifier to split L/R? If not, you do not need 5 - If this is for home, personal use, 3 is sufficient, you can always buy a splitter constraint: Stereo 1/8 inch jack into L/R Let me know your thoughts. Cheers!

[@JoeLinux2000]

@@phillc I'm not a singer. The reason I would get the a GO Keys in addition to my DGX is for the Chord Sequencer. I always wanted the DGX for the automation, but as you know, I find the user interface too complex on the DGX. To me the Go Keys seems far more understandable. In the meantime my DGX works well as a concert grand when combined in tandem with Pianoteq. I use a total of 5 piano voices to create my grand piano tone which is extremely realistic. The DGX fattens up Pianoteq, and Pianoteq makes the DGX much more authentic in terms of the acoustic grand piano sound. I appreciate your videos and commentary. I consider you to be a technology genius. As for the Go Keys, it is the bet small most versatile little keyboard I've every heard. The sound is totally professional. It's going to sell more units than the DX7.

[@phillc]

@@JoeLinux2000 Thanks George for the huge compliments 🙏🙏🙏🙏 The GO KEYS 3 will serve you well. Thanks for inspiring me to check it out. You and my buddy Myron are the reason I own this bad little beast 👏👏👏😜👊🙏. Do post some videos one of these days 😉
