You can plug additional sources into GO:MIXER as well, such as a mic or another keyboard.

This is my very first keyboard and my husband got it for me as a gift. As a beginner, never had played a piano before, this is the best device for you
Thank you seller and Amazo
The sound libraries are vast with the most amazing mix of modern and retro sounds. The rhythms and auto generators are awesome. The in built speakers are pretty good. But hook up to headphones or through an amp and the Roland sounds are mind blowing good.
Physically the keyboard is sturdy and the individual touch sensitive keys have a piano like natural resistance that makes this a dream to play.
Bluetooth for jamming with your favourite songs is fab. The facility to record compositions is simply awesome.I
I am delighted.
My keyboard arrived quick from placing order,it looks amazing and love it being red,you feel the quality when playing and has a great sound,it looks great quality.I am well pleased with my purchase and would recommend this keyboard.Happy custome
ot tried the smartphone/tablet softwares, but i have used it with Fruity Loops and Ableton with no problems whilst also having a Akai MPD226 connected, worked perfect no conflicts or anything like you sometimes get with 2 USB Midi devices
For example, there is no dedicated metronome, when clearly the keyboard has that capability. You can get around this by using Loop Mix, selecting the least annoying and steady drums, and adjusting the tempo in settings.
Would it also kill them to implement a simple loop function? What it has is a recording function, but not way to loop that recording. Let’s say you want to record a simple four chord progression, loop it, and improvise over it. You can’t. You can record, yes, but you can’t loop it. It ends, and you have to press the play button again to make it play. Breaks immersion immediately.
The positives are that the keys and sounds are decent (thought I would have liked more piano sounds) and it is light and portable.
Lo tengo solo unos das.
Por ahora estoy contento con la respuesta del teclado y con los sonidos que incluye.
En cuanto a la aplicacin cuya suscripcin viene de regalo, lo que no me gusta es que muchas canciones vienen sin acompaamiento “para mejorar tu musicalidad”, lo cual me hace directamente pasar de gran nmero de canciones que podran estar genial con acompaamiento, como “Let it be” por decir una.
Para principiantes, y tambin para lis que ya saben est muy bien. Muy verstil
PROS:
1. This is a beautiful, sleekly designed instrument. It will really light up your room or band with its looks! There are no buttons and nobs sticking out, it is all one flat surface and this is really smooth. Like me, if you don’t want your instrument to look like a plane’s cockpit, but prefer something minimal, you will love this.
2. The sounds are great for the price range. It is not just a beginners keyboard, when you are ready to go out playing gigs you can surely take this along! BUT YOU WILL NOT HEAR THIS RICH SOUND OUT OF THE BOX. Due to the slim design, you get small 2.5W X2 speakers that cannot do full justice. The other reviews that say the sound is too low or poor have judged it this way. But that is not the way to go. The built in speakers are only to make things easy during travel and practice; use headphones, or an amp or good speakers to feel its full bang. Many great keyboards come with no speakers at all.
3. The lightweight and the small size make it easy to carry around. You can play this on your lap!
CONS:
1. Given the minimal approach, to change a setting or instrument, you need to press many keys. So if you like to change many things while performing you may not be able to do it in time. If you want to make a track by recording many parts one above the other it could get long-winding involving many keypresses. Even for this basic instrument, this could have been better.
2. The loop mix is fun to use, it has a large variety of rhythm patterns. But you cannot change the chords and the loop-mix patterns together. This could have lead to so many more possibilities.
3. Most of the loop mixes sound thumping and upbeat. The variety could have been more here. Say a swinging blues groove, a 6/8 and something light and acoustic.
MY OPINION: I feel keeping the minimal design Roland could have given more power to the user. For eg, the 10 touch pads could be switched to 10 digits while picking instruments. Or you might as well throw in a full touch screen, these days even cheap phones have them. Some control could be delegated to a connected mobile app.
CONCLUSION:
This is an extraordinary instrument and I look forward to playing it everyday. If you like to change a lot of settings and do detailed arrangements, this is not the instrument for you. If you want a simple and beautiful instrument that gives you rich sounds at an affordable price, then I don’t think you will find anything better.
Cannot connect MIDI.
If we record a track we cannot loop i
Esta es una opcin excelente cuando se tiene poco presupuesto. Merece mucho la pena, tanto para su uso como piano elctrico como para usarlo como teclado controlador con programas como Main Stage. Buena eleccin!
Conforme mes attentes. Touches aspect piano mat, semi lestes. Bonne ergonomie globale, prise en main facile mme sans tutoriel. Fonctions et touches intuitives. Manuel d’utilisation clair. Varit de sons intressante avec modulation. La puissance du son sur secteur est suffisante pour jouer ou rpter.
La qualit du son est meilleure si on branch le clavier sur un ampli ou je suppose un autre appareil disposant de bons haut-parleurs.
Trs satisfait de mon achat.
es mi sexto piano en mi vida y estoy absolutamente flipando. suena estupendo.
Lovely keyboard but I paid full Amazon price but the delivered product had a Amazon warehouse sticker on it no reduction was given.
We bought this for our son as a birthday present. As an aspiring musician he loves this.
It has great sound quality and so many extra functions perfect for a music GSCE student. Delivered very quickly and packaged well, it was easy to set up and instructions were very clear.
Ottima tastiera,molto versatile,da sottolineare a funzione loop mix che permette di creare musica,maneggevole nel trasporto
Les sons sont vraiment pas mal pourvu qu on les amplifie ou qu on mette un casque.
Ct negatif aprs quelques semaines je dirais :
– menu droulant pas trs pratique (oblige de tout drouler… en concert c est assez pnible)
– pas de support partition… alors l je ne comprends pas… de mon point de vue c est un minimum…
Sinon le toucher est top, la fonction bluetooth assez agrable. Le loop mix est sympa mais plutot gadget.
En conclusion : bon rapport qualit/prix !!
Soy estudiante de piano y me viene bien cuando salgo a pasar unos das fuera, por su cmoda portabilidad. Hay que acostumbrarse al tacto.
Worth every price you pay. A must have for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Top keyboard kann ich jeden weiterempfehlen.
Lieferung war auch pnktlich.
Believe it, or not I have most of the top keyboards ever made, yet I bought this cheap one. That is because I wanted to practice by my PC, and a big, expensive keyboard is not easy to move around in your living room. So this fits under my desk, and can be pulled out to practice with. What is also surprising about this keyboard is the quality of the keys which have been made to look, and feel like ivory keys. Even my top keyboards don’t have this quality keys.
Molto intuitivo nell’uso, suoni davvero belli e veri, estremamente versatile.
Facile da usare, bei suoni, possibilit di registrare e riprodurre una base musicale attraverso il Bluetooth.
Certains rifs d’accompagnement manquent, principalement avec du swing, et un mtronome normal, mais sinon cela fonctionne trs bien. En mode batterie, Bluetooth ne peut pas grer le volume au maximum…
Ich bin eigentlich ein Yamaha typ (Motif, Typors, Montage) aber immer wieder brauche ich was Kleines aber mit gutem Sound und key touch. Als Profi Synth muss ich sagen das Ding kann einiges, wenn man die spiel Technik beherrscht 😀 sonst fr Urlaub oder einfach so ist auch sehr gut und die Speakers sind auch schn laut.
Branch sur des haut parleur de monitoring studio, le son est excellent.
Clavier avec un toucher agrable ( voir avec le temps…)
Trs bonne dynamique du toucher.
Large banque de sons (plus qu’il m’en faut). 61 touches c’est suffisant. Je l’ai descendu direct d’un octave.
Je ne me suis pas encore servi des fonctions “loop mix”
Il est super bien en “clavier maitre” branch en USB sur le PC.
Seul point ngatif : il a un composant Bluetooth qui gre le transfert de son, mais uniquement dans le sens source de son (smartphone) vers le clavier (ou alors je n’ai pas trouv comment faire). J’aurais prfr pouvoir diffuser le son du clavier sur un casque Bluetooth.
Bon, et le mieux et le plus important, c’est qu’il est rouge ! trop la classe 😉
Bien au dessus en son qu’un casio ctk 4400, ce clavier n’est pas un arranger.
+ le son
+ la taille
+ l’enregistrement
+ bluetooth
– pas de coupe du clavier entre basse et piano ou autre c’est dommage.
– Bruit de slection des touches
– Certains choix de rythmes tranges…pas trop jouable dessus
Il reste le meilleur choix en qualit et prix nanmoins, parce qu’il est de bonne quali
El peso tambien es un punto a favor: el teclado es de plastico (duro) y no pesa nada, se puede levantar con un brazo y muy facil de transportar.
En resumen, es Roland ha hecho un teclado barato de plastico para que sea accessible a ms mercado, pero no ha creado una tarjeta de sonidos especifica para este modelo, y aprovecha la de otros modelos superiores mucho mas caros. Tanto para principiantes como para experimentados este teclado te ofrecer mucha diversin.
The Roland Go:Keys is such a superb keyboard for the price. It has a lot of sounds, and they sound great. The piano sounds are amazingly good – even through the small speakers – amazing! Only a couple of years ago, piano sounds of this quality would have cost twice as much. The keys are very nice. They are full-size keys, but not piano weighted. They are halfway between synth action keys and piano weighted keys. The Go:Keys comes with only half its sounds enabled – you have to turn on the GM sounds in the menu to hear all the sounds. There is also a black version called Go:Piano. Apparently that has fewer sounds, and the piano sounds it has are exactly the same as the piano sounds in the Go:Keys. So I am not quite sure why anyone would buy the Go:Piano instead of the Go:Keys. For the money, the Roland Go:Keys is very hard to beat.
I toyed with the idea of getting to GO PIANO as well, but I am glad I went for the KEYS in the end as it’s piano sounds are pretty good and it offers quite a bit more with the onboard sounds (over 500 including the GM bank).
The Casio CT S300 was the other contender for me – but the Roland has a slightly smaller footprint and the sounds are just a little better.
Great. Love it. Ended up going way over budget but don’t regret it at all
One small point to note is that the iPad remembers the bt audio connection but you have to go in and click connect on the Bluetooth midi connection in settings when starting your daily practise session.
Great for home use. Good amount of sounds. Good quality for such little speakers.
I like Roland keyboards, and liked this one. The sounds are pretty decent, and you get a huge variety of them to suit all styles. It runs on batteries and has built in speakers so is great if you want something to noodle around with on your lap, or to take easily to practices etc.. However, I ended up sending my one back for a refund – I’ve probably been spoiled by playing more high end keyboards and found the GO-61k just didn’t feel right for me.
Very good wee keyboard but it’s lacking in styles and if I need a certain chord on the mix it’s giving me cm instead of c but cool sounds very handy to carry around
I am trying to learn guitar and my teacher said to get a keyboard to be able to visualise the chords and notes, as they are easier to see on a piano keyboard.
I didn’t want to spend a lot so I looked at loads of different makes and they all had a few iffy reviews.
This Roland got positives all round.
I use Boss pedals and amps, which is part of the Roland Brand, and they have always been excellent so I was attracted because of the name anyway.
When I tried it I could see why. If I was learning piano this is the one I would want, and now I have one I think I will take up learning the piano because this such a joy to play and listen too.
My Android phone connected immediately, but wouldn’t work. A scour through the very poorly written instructions showed that the keyboard has two bluetooth identities. One called Go:Midi, and another called Go:Audio. Go:Midi is for transferring Midi files to a computer, Go:Audio is for playing music from a phone or pad. You can only connect one identity at a time.
Once that was sorted I was soon playing some chords along to Ava Maria from my mobile phone.
The little speakers are adequate for the narrow range of sounds typical from a portable keyboard, but once I plugged it into my guitar amp with double twelves, wow.
You could gig with this without any doubt, and it would look professional on a stage as well. The range of sounds and options can cover any type of music, and they all sounded great to my ears.
My daughter plays piano and she likes the key weights on light. I didn’t know what she was talking about but went through the settings, and sure enough there are key weight settings so that a soft press gives soft notes and a hard press gives loud notes, brilliant.
There was also a setting so that a single note played with one hand would turn of the notes played by the other so that chords wouldn’t swamp single notes. I have no idea what that setting is called, but found it very useful.
As a complete novice I found this keyboard intuitive, fully loaded, and I learned more about music and keyboards in one day than I ever imagined I could.
The value for money I found astonishing.
Delivery from Amazon was the usual swiftness, in fact, two days early, so I got to indulge ahead of time. Lovely.
Go this as a present for my daughter and she loves it. The Bluetooth connection, the portability and the array of sounds and things you can do with it.
You can create so much music on this quality Roland keyboard. I’m impressed at how versatile it is. It works off mains power or batteries and has a headphone jack that can mute the sound. I use it with Apple’s Garage Band via Bluetooth and as a stand alone music creator. The keys are weighted really well and look just like a standard keyboard. It has also been a great hit with the family, I think I need another one!
Haven’t had any other keyboard in the past and the period my son and my wife are using it is around one month or so but I find it to be sturdy, easy to use and with plenty of features.
UPDATE:
Gets better the more you explore
Aber sonst top!
This is a really nice keyboard. The on-board sounds are great.
The only issue is that the Bluetooth only works with iPhones, so I can’t connect it to my mac nor my phone. Still 5 stars as that isn’t why I bought it, though.
