Because I could not find a comparison between the new Roland GoKeys 3 and GoKeys 5 I decided to make one myself. It's pretty basic, but maybe it'll give a idea of the difference in sound. To my ears, the 5 sounds fuller, especially when playing music with a lot of bass. Taking into account the extra connection possibilities, I decided to keep the 5.
UPDATE
The 5 (3 also?) has 50 available style slots, 256 patch/sound slots and 64 drumkit slots. I don't know how to check how much Wave memory there is.
No MIDI recording overdub (as the OG has), only on audio so a USB stick is needed in that case.
Differences as on 5 may and firmware 1.04 (what the 5 has and the 3 hasn't):
- Stereo out jacks, the speakers can stay on while connected (menu item). The headphones jack mutes the speakers no matter what (as on the 3)
- Better speaker system. Smaller in size (the round grill closer to center are the actual speakers) but the "boxed" system and the passive radiators make a ton of difference in the low-end and overal quality.
- Mic in and mic-on-headset combined with headphones jack in. Both sensitivities individually set in the menu system.
- Voice effects.
- Line in (mini jack)
- Expression pedal in
- 2nd USB host jack for Roland cloud dongle only. Able to power something through this port, who dares to try this?
- Somewhat different button layout (5 has no dedicated BT and metrome buttons, these are voice related).
- Wave expansions available on Roland cloud (3 has only Style - and Sound packs). Why?
- Am I missing something else?
