Re: RD700NX.....Just starting it folks, let's go!!!! in RD-700 / 800 series · 2 Sep 2010

After seeing Roland's web and reading about the "new" NX, it seems to me that it's mostly pure marketing from Roland. In sum, this is a GX with the supernatural piano card, the PHA III keyboard and WITHOUT expansion slot...

Re: question about RD700GX with no sound from bottom octave? in RD-700 / 800 series · 1 Jul 2010

Could it be the "audio key" button? If it's activated, you get no sounds on the lower octave (the keys are used to play samples). Hope it helps.

Re: RD-700GX(F) Owners: SRX-06 Experiences? in RD-700 / 800 series · 3 Jun 2010

Actually, most digital pianos and even flagship synths haven't got a great amount of pipe organs; it seems that it's not one of the "highest priority" sounds that people are looking for... Regarding the SRX-06, there are...

Re: Mobile Sound Canvas versus Sonic Cell? in SonicCell · 3 Jun 2010

Yesterday I put an order to acquire a SD-50, and probably it will arrive next monday. When I'll test it I'll be able to compare the sound quality with my Fantom XR (I also used to have a Sonic Cell). Certainly, I take fo...

Re: Mobile Sound Canvas versus Sonic Cell? in SonicCell · 30 May 2010

I have or used to have different Roland models such as The Fantom XR, Sonic Cell, XV-5080 and several models of the "sound canvas" line, such as the SC-55, the SC-880 or the SD-20, among others. Now I'm planning to get a...

Re: RD-700GX(F) Owners: SRX-06 Experiences? in RD-700 / 800 series · 28 May 2010

Hey dewster, in fact, they're not 32Mb, but 64Mb... anyway, yes, the SRX cards are expensive. As long as you can, look at the second hand market. Prices are not much lower than new because contray to keyboards and pianos...

Re: RD-700GX(F) Owners: SRX-06 Experiences? in RD-700 / 800 series · 27 May 2010

Well, here I disagree. I think that the SRX-06 is one of the best SRX cards available despite its age, if you're looking for acoustic/orchestral sounds. You've got an enormous variety and overall the sound quality is ver...

Re: Opinions CP1 vs. RD700GX w/SN expansion in RD-700 / 800 series · 25 May 2010

Interesting discussion... I've not been lucky enough to play a V-Piano or a CP1 yet, but as I've got a RD-700GX w/SN piano card and also a Fantom XR and a Motif XS Rack, I think I can make some comments knowing what I'm...

Re: Which pianos are in the RD-700GX? in RD-700 / 800 series · 2 May 2010

>>>>> EDIT: Your studio must rock! RD & XS together: dream combo! Actually, there's virtually nothing more than the RD and the XS in my studio :P But yes, they complement very well each other, though.

Re: Which pianos are in the RD-700GX? in RD-700 / 800 series · 1 May 2010

AFAIK, Roland has never made public the maker and models of the pianos sampled for the RD. I recall though having read somewhere that the "Expressive" were sampled from an European piano (maybe a Bosendorfer?), the "Supe...
