Frequently Asked Questions
The synth action is light and fast, ideal for quick playing but lacks the resistance and expressive control of weighted keys. It's more like a traditional synth keyboard feel.
While the Roland Cloud offers a vast expansion of sounds, accessing them requires an internet connection. The onboard sounds are fully functional without a connection.
The MIDI Player/Recorder is more geared towards basic song arrangement and playback; complex, multi-track recordings would be better suited for a dedicated DAW.
