Using a Microphone with the Roland FP-90X

[@BridgerPlaysPiano]

Thank you for demonstrating the microphone functionality, the only video on KZbin that does so thoroughly! Great playing and great singing. I really think I'm gonna purchase an fp90x in the new year. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

[@marcosmusicstudio]

great video Chang! I assume that you can record singing and playing then at the same time directly in the Fp90x?

[@JoeLinux2000]

I appreciate you demonstrating the the microphone functions. I guess you are recording from your computer, not any direct line outs from the Roland. I think the FP-90x is a great piano. I considered it, but my Yamaha DGX-670 arrives today with the furniture style stand and three pedal unit, at approximately 1/2 the cost of the FP-90x with no stand or auxiliary pedals. Both keyboards weigh about the same. I'm sure the 90x acoustic piano sounds are probably more authentic with a more realistic feeling action; but the Yamaha may be good enough, and additionally has a lot of auto chording accompaniments with simplified fingering. Would you be willing to demonstrate any auto accompaniment features the fp-90x might have?

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Ohhh how exciting for you!! Guess you should already have the Yamaha DGX-670 by now!!! And yes, you're right. I'm recording from my external USB mic plugged into my mobile phone ... meaning all sounds you hear are closer to what you'd be hearing coming through the piano speakers if you were playing the Roland FP-90x. The thing about the FP-90x is that the piano slab itself does not have any auto accompaniment features although i could probably access them through a separate app. Problem is, I need my phone to record my videos so accessing the app is a problem .... for now, at least 🤣 Have fun with the DGX-670!! You can surely get crazy creative with all the arranger features it has.

Thank you Chang, yes I think so also, until every Roland instrument I've bought ( E 36 arranger and Jv 2080 expander) has been satisfied full for me and always well functioned.

[@antonioperillo1182]

Hallo Chang, I hope to see you in another video about Roland fp90x or 30x playing some classic or jazz pieces, as soon as possible!!! Many greetings from Italy👋

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Hi Antonio ... greetings to you as well, from Australia 👋 sorry that I haven't been putting in any content in this channel. Not too confident with my piano playing but I will put something up soon 😊

[@Khordmaster]

Helpful video thanks!! I’m highly considering this keyboard looks like it checks all the boxes!

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Thank you ... I'm glad you found the video helpful. Hope you can find THE ONE 👍👍

[@takeoc8078]

Is the mic input low? Compared to your normal voice? Because it sounds like that in the video

[@carlos2666]

wow mate

[@HienPham-tl5zh]

How did you record this clip? What phone ? And how do you connect to the phone?

[@Timatimati]

So funny ! Hhhhaahaa)) good job man 😄👍🏻

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Thanks mate 😁

[@Zoco101]

Thanks for the video. So few reviewers go into any of this stuff. As I mentioned elsewhere: why no (dedicated) EQ controls for the mic?

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Thanks for watching. Right??? That would've been nice to have...

[@nstarbaby]

Hi Cheng, can it be connect to an Audio Interface which have a condenser mic attached; and that set up instead?

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Honestly I am not sure ... the closest resource which i can find which I hope will be somewhat helpful for you is this: forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/3108351/3/roland-fp-90x-owners-club.html Based on the thread I think the answer is probably a yes.

[@nstarbaby]

@@cluelesscheng7527 thanks so much. I just owned 90x. ^^

[@justmaria]

Entertained 👍check ✔ haha I liked your almost laugh when you where trying to connect the microphone and when you sang your heart out 🔝

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Glad it ticked that box 🤣

[@antonioperillo1182]

Hallo Chang, I'm going to buy an fp30x, that is undoubtedly less sophisticated than its big brother fp90x, but for me is very good and light. Besides I love its acoustic gran piano voice for the nuance, realism and keyboard with escapement that we cannot find in other similar digital pianos in this range of price! Roland has made great digital pianos with this fpx series that will be a success in all the world!!!! I'm sure

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Great choice, Antonio ... i played the fp30x and it was really good so i'm sure you're gonna love it!!

[@antonioperillo1182]

Good evening Chang, when I'll receive my Fp30x I'll write to you for retell about my first impressions on playing this amazing piano. Both keyboard touching and sound quality.

[@VidarW]

You have a good singing voice mister :) Great video. Salutes from Norway🇳🇴

[@hypeddino1913]

Can you use piano to record your voice and place it back?

[@cluelesscheng7527]

Yes you can. With the record function, you can play and record your voice if you plug in the microphone.

[@hypeddino1913]

@@cluelesscheng7527 can record into a USB pen drive? What format will the recording be? Mp3 file?

[@cluelesscheng7527]

@@hypeddino1913 yes u can totally record all that u play and speak/sing into a plugged-in mic into usb drive. The resulting recording will be in wav format.

Hii Clueless Cheng! Thank you for the video, putting a mic into the piano results to be simpler than I imagined. And I'm considering to buy one for my FP90X. I have a doubt about your video: which mic have you bought for the piano? I'm looking for a mic with jack connection like yours but all the sets that I've found doesn't have that type of connection. It seems like exist a jack adaptor or something like that, but I would prefer to have the jack connection included in the mic cable rather than buying an adaptor. Could you recommend me any mics for this purpose? Thanks a lot! :D

[@cluelesscheng7527]

I suppose it would depend on the purpose for the mic. Mine is a very cheap $10 unidirectional dynamic mic that comes with a 6.35mm (or 1/4 inch) plug which I got just across the street where I live. If you're thinking of getting any of the Shure microphones, make sure you get the ones with a QTR cable (basically it has a 1/4 inch male plug at the end of the cable). Hope that helps, Eduardo.

[@Zoco101]

Eduardo, you buy those 1/4" (6.5mm) leads many places. They will fit any dynamic microphone with a detachable XLR type cable. I don't know why they didn't put an XLR female connector on the piano. This 1/4" connection gives it a cheesy kareoke aspect (as though you would prefer a really cheap mic with a non-detachable cable) but it will work fine with better mics too. What worries me is not seeing any mention of a separate EQ control for the mic in this video. Whose omission? Cheng's or Roland's.

[@cluelesscheng7527]

@@Zoco101 thanks for your insight ... unfortunately we could only adjust the volume and the effects for the mic on the FP90X

[@antonioperillo1182]

Excuse me, until now
