"The Piano Alp"

Feature:
Anything can be changed to anything..you discover something new every time you play with it

Quality:
Its kinda heavy..the power cable came with a loose fitting..no probs till now..dont know if smthin happens in future..:)No problems till now..and its built truly solid :)

Value:
For its price its not worth..better take a Yamaha S90ES if you're looking for good pianos..also its cheaper ;)..

Desirability:
I'm not much impressed with the piano patch and on the overall performance of the board..besides i cant wait another 2-3 months ordering a ROLAND..so i may go for a Yamaha or Korg

Sound:
as far as the pianos r concerned..its too realistic..not idealistic tho..i guess Motif Pianos had a better idealistic sounding..

Ease of Use:
i never read the manual..and RD 700GX is my first Pro level board..i can do almost what all i wish for now on it :)..jus cant stop playin on it ;)

Support:
I had to wait like 1 month after paying almost half the money, booking and stuff like that..

Overall:
Its an 'ok' type board tats all..nottin SOO SPECIAL about it hehe

"Stage Piano Nirvana!!"

Feature:
The only feature I would have liked are the built in speakers which Yamaha provides with the CP300. I'm still learning all of the GX capabilities, but the initial features which really stand out include: - ivory-like keyboard (make playing a true joy) - expanded tones - multiple outputs - USB 2.0 interface... (really enjoying this) - sound tailoring capabilities

Value:
Expensive... but you get what you pay for.

Sound:
I recently upgrade from a RD-700 (which I expanded with the SRX-03, SRX-11 cards). I'll write the following review in layman's terms...rather than using the fancy industry terms like "escapement, polyphony, switching velocity...etc.). Secondly, I don't consider myself a keyboard aficionado in comparison to those who play keyboard for a living... however I believe I have reasonably distinguishing sense of sound quality. While the RD-700 was & is a great stage piano, the RD-700GX takes the sound quality to a whole new dimension. I've played the GX through both my PA system & my Yamaha/Klipsh home entertainment system. The sound quality on the grands & EP's is simply stunning. Playing it through my home entertainment system with stereo 5-1 turned gives it an amphitheater like sound. It sounds like you have a grand piano right in the room with you. With the GX,.. you now have more sound design capabilities. In comparison to the RD-700, the RD-700GX sound quality (realism), sustain, and tailoring capabilities make the RD-700GX a great investment for both studio and live performance. The GX sound engine produces very realistic sound samples. The electronic pianos are very nice as well. While I used two SRX expansion cards in my RD700... I have no near term intentions of buying any SRX cards for the GX... for my applications... they're not needed with the GX's base capabilities.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Ok... After buying/selling almost 10 guitars,... I recently purchased my Martin D-41 Special guitar... (done buying acoustic guitars)..... and now after buying the RD-700GX.... I'm done buying keyboards... (I've found the one I've always wanted).

Step onstage and step up to the world’s most impressive stage pianos, with amazing pianos and EPs onboard, plus audio-play and master control features. The RD700GX is powered by Roland’s latest sound engine for incredible sound quality. The flagship RD700GX leads the market with its SuperNATURAL instruments and a PHA II “Ivory Feel” keyboard with Escapement.

Features

Stunning 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano sounds

88-key weighted keyboards: PHA II “Ivory Feel” with Escapement

SuperNATURAL electric pianos for unprecedented realism

Audio playback of .WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files via USB memory; easy onstage control with Audio Key feature

Piano Designer function for creating the perfect custom instruments, plus eight multi-effects processors

Perfect Piano
The RD700GX is anchored by Roland’s finest 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano engine, including a brand-new expressive piano sound, with every note captured using a generous amount of wave capacity. In addition to its super-expressive onboard piano sound-sets, other essential instruments are built into this new piano, including EPs. You can even customize and save your sounds for instant recall.

Perfect Touch
Your fingers will love the RD700GX’s top-of-the-line PHA II “Ivory Feel” keyboard with Escapement. This amazing keyboard technology reproduces the real surface feel of ivory acoustic piano keys providing a familiar stability and comfort to the pianist. The keys are designed to absorb moisture, ensuring a secure, slip-proof feel, even in the hottest stage environments where sweaty hands can spell disaster.

SuperNATURAL EP
Another distinguishing feature of the RD700GX is its electric-piano sound bank derived from Roland’s unique SuperNATURAL technology. Enjoy realism, expression, and control like never before with this special selection of EPs that provide amazingly authentic and organic tonal response.

USB Audio Enhancement
Play audio through the RD-GX directly from a USB memory key. Flexible file compatibility enables playback of Standard MIDI Files, .WAV, AIFF and MP3s. The "Audio Key" feature lets you use the bottom 15 keys for controlling start song, song length, etc. In addition, you can connect directly to a PC via USB and tap into Cakewalk SONAR LE software, included in every RD-GX package.

Custom Shop
For those who like to get inside an instrument and customize its sounds, the RD-GX’s Piano Designer feature is your key to unlocking and personalizing the sound-set, down to the smallest details such as Hammer Noise, Damper Resonance, Duplex Scale and more. In the RD700GX, sounds can be further customized with the eight channels of powerful onboard multi-effects.

Sound Expansion, Master Control
Expand and personalize the internal sound-set by adding up to two optional Roland SRX expansion boards, then take your music to the stage. The RD-GX series make great master controllers, thanks to multi-zone functionality and multiple MIDI outputs (three MIDI outputs).
