Roland GO:KEYS Music Creation Keyboard’s brings their powerful synth platform to the home keyboard market with smart colours & cool features!
Do you remember the days when the only keyboard you could afford was a home keyboard? You know the thing… a Yamaha PSS or PSR, maybe a Casiotone or something cheaper. They never really looked the part. And then there were the sounds. Drastically cut-back versions of the sounds of their pro-synth counterparts.
Roland GO:KEYS – 21st Century Home Keyboards
Well, if modern synth technology has done anything in the last 10-15 years, it is closing that gap to the point where it almost doesn’t exist. May I present to you the Roland GO:KEYS Music Creation Keyboard!
Available in a range of colours and with the Roland ZEN-Core engine at their heart, the GO:KEYS deliver sounds that are equitable with Roland’s top-of-the-line synths that use that same engine. You no longer have to settle for weak sounds and features.
GO:KEYS 3 and 5
The Roland GO:KEYS range comes in two models; the 3 and the 5. The GO:KEYS 5 gives you a more powerful onboard sound system than the 3, albeit fully compatible. There is also a microphone input with vocal effects and more connectivity than its smaller sibling.
The GO:KEYS 5 has over 1000 sounds built in, all drawn from Roland’s classic back catalogue of synth patches. There’s an auto-accompaniment feature with more than 200 musical styles to choose from. A chord sequencer that is editable by the user is included with 300 presets to get you started.
Connect
The keyboard comes with built in speakers so you can play anywhere, and there is support for both Bluetooth audio and MIDI as well as USB audio and MIDI. There is also support for USB memory storage. That same USB port is also be used for Roland’s WC-1 Roland Cloud Connect adapter for fuss-free connection to the Roland Cloud.
Connect your GO:KEYS to the Roland Cloud and you can wirelessly browse, audition and download more content to your keyboard via your mobile device!
The GO:KEYS 5 also features a microphone input so you can sing along to your compositions, complete with built-in vocal effects.
