Roland Go Keys

This small, light, pretty keyboard has far exceeded my expectations! I've had a Nord Electro 3 with a semi-weighted keyboard in my setup for nearly 10 years now and since it's my "main piano", I'm used to light or spring keyboards. I wanted an easy-to-transport, easy-to-use, robust keyboard for location-independent playing without stress and time-consuming setup and dragging. That's how I came to GO-KEYS. Please always see the following in terms of price and weight (only about 4kg), of course it can not sound like devices that cost 5 times (or is it?). What's so great about little Roland that I can not give it away anymore?

positive:
+ The sound of the 2 small speakers (only 2.6W) is surprisingly excellent, no distorting and beautiful spatial representation of the sounds for the player sitting in front of them, they give enough volume, that the instrument also "feels" and not only thinly (important for me to get into a certain flow).
+ The sound in the headphones or via Mackie studio monitors is even better.
+ The keyboard is excellent in the size of the keys, pressure point and possible dynamics in the game and it rattles nothing. All buttons arranged neatly, nothing wobbles, no "dead" button on GO-KEYS, immaculate thing, well made.
+ Battery operation for several hours (at least 3 hours at least) and power supply is included (in the Styrofoam of the OVP).
+ The sound of the pianos is (in terms of price and weight) really very good, the e-pianos sound like they should sound, so certainly as well as a Waldorf Zarenbourg, which plays in a completely different league price (if I think the pianos should be even better on the GO piano, I would almost like to buy that right away), you can really play nicely accented with the piano sounds.
+ The usability is intuitive, the manual Roland typical very well and clearly written, I hardly needed it.
+ The patterns are modern, no polkas, they have a good groove and each pattern has many variations.
+ Also with the organs there are nice playable, partly even "fiery" sounds, here you can also find the "Jazz Scat" and other vocal sounds that are interesting to play
+ Synthesizer - all "bread and butter" sounds and beyond, broad, overall good and wide range of sounds, whose parameters can not be changed (is not synonymous explicit synthesizer).
+ Strings and pads - impeccable, wide, fat, tender and fine, everything that is needed to play beautiful songs for the soloists.
+ Transport friendly, just as big as necessary for 61 normal sized keys, very light, no buttons or knobs that could survive and break.
+ The clacking noise of the control knobs can be turned off fortunately under "Settings".
+ Overall processing - despite plastic pur - very good, surface and buttons feel good, especially the finish of the buttons.
+ Optical design absolutely top. Almost as chic as the beautiful reds from Sweden. (Taste)

neutral:
* The mini jack output for headphones or amplifiers (yes, some wonder how long that will last), but the small plug sits well and the target audience are not professionals or stage saunas. With a little mindfulness, I'm not worried.
* Bluetooth function: connected with iPhone7 straight away, everything works as promised.
* PC or Mac connection (not yet tested).
* There is no note holder like the GO PIANO. But that would rot with me anyway in the box ;-)

Conclusion:
For this narrow price a top keyboard, the beginners and also advanced "Sofasurfern", which do not need or want sheet music, guarantees a lot of fun and never comes along stuffy. Pretty cool for the "Campfire Keith-Emerson" (please insert your idol here). Robust, very good sound, beautiful workmanship, easy to transport. I'm happy with that! Thanks to the Roland engineers for this casual part!
