Roland GO:Keys 3 & 5: What's Different?

[@cinepost]

Keep up the good work! Would be really nice if you showed Go:Keys use with a DAW.

Thanks so much, super appreciated and really helps the channel! And I do have that idea for a video on my (growing) list! Thanks again!

Tony, it is me again 😊 I am quite interested in GO:Keys - mostly because of WC-1 and one year Roland Cloud membership. Do you think that it makes sense though if I already have CK61 and PSR-EW320? I am also concerned about the action of GO-Keys. I am only interested in playing organ and synth sounds on it (I like the action of CK61). I heard that the keys are quite heavy close to the fulcrum. Thank you

[@PianoTone]

To be honest, unless there's something on the Roland Cloud you want REALLY badly, I'm not sure it would be worth bothering - most of the cost of the GO:Keys 3 is all the built in sounds, rhythms & accompaniment features including the chord sequencer, none of which it sounds like you would be interested in. The action is a bit unique and does feel heavier as you play further into the keys; and the action will feel very different from the CK61 or the PSR (the PSR probably feels like a lighter and less "heavy duty" action than your CK I assume?)

[@mfurman]

@@PianoToneI tried the action of PSR-E and it is quite similar to the action of CK61. Thank you again for your comprehensive response 😊

[@mfurman]

Are you planning a comparison between GO:Keys 3 and Yamaha PSR-E383, Tony? I am also wondering if you ever considered Roland Juno-D6. By the way, I currently use Roland ZENOLOGY Pro with my CK61 (in addition to Arturia V Collection X and Pigments). Michael

[@PianoTone]

Price wise the GO3 is more in line with the PSR-E473, and the GO5 with the PSR-EW425. Except the connectivity of the 3 is in line with the E383. I think I might do a general comparison of the PSR line with the GO line to try and cover it all.

[@mfurman]

@@PianoTone I am concerned about the clicking noise of the keys, you have mentioned about in the other video. Also, it does not have MIDI IN and OUT (to connect a pedalboard) so it is lacking some important connectivity. CK61 is much better in this respect

[@PianoTone]

@@mfurman It's not a clicking noise per se it's a snap (when key bounces back up) if you do a glissando. Not really comparable to the CK, that's a whole different league/class of instrument. I miss my CK :)

[@mfurman]

@ Thank you Tony 😊

Lots of keyboard for the money, regardless the model. A beginner would be more than satisfied with the 3. But I would of course get 5 for the connectivity and the extra cloud features, as I already have WC-1 and roland cloud.

I agree! And thanks for sharing that info & for checking out the channel, feel free to subscribe
