As an owner of this piano, I feel the need to provide this feedback: I think soundwise it is not bad, but not too particular good But most important issue is the clicking noises I start to get from some keys. Apparently I am not the one with this issue. Just wanted to provide this feedback to potential buyers.
@@benji040 The problem with click is that it's like an manufacture issue. It comes in some keys with time. It has something to do with the exclusive heavy hammering action System from Roland. It's notticeable in sound and also in fingers. The clicking keys sound way clickier than the normal "healthy" keys. It disturbed me a bit. After all I spent more money than I would in a Yamaha or a Casio. I returned it to the shop and Roland offered me to fix. But I chose a refund instead.
@@3xperiment8 It is not a problem with the manufacturing process. The keys use grease as a lubricant. Once the grease is consumed it starts clicking. It is a common issue with keyboards in this price range. However there's an easy fix: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nVaTDzB7q7I.html
Totally amazing at what you can get for such a low price. $499 from Sweetwater. Optional piano stand $89. I assume it has a head phones jack for practicing when everyone else is sleeping. Great Demo. Great job Roland.
Having less feature is actually a great thing. I have a dirt cheap keyboard from yamaha which has 61 keys and so many buttons above them that looks nothing less like a pilot cockpit
I like how the presenter doesn't even mention how great the action is on this piano - you have to spend 3000 on a Yamaha digital to get action as good. If you hold a key with thumb and second finger, bring it down a bit and jiggle it, you can feel hammers banging around inside the keys. That is fantastic and gives it an authentic grand piano feel, together with the textured keys. Fantastic piano for that price. The Yamaha P 145 is no where near as good, and the keys make a rattling sound. With the FP 10 the keys are fairly quiet when playing on low volume without headphones.
I have a sudden love with pianos, i play the guitar and drums and i never learned the piano but I’ll definitely get this Roland fp10 for my first piano learning. ☺️
This is the non bullshit begginer digital piano!! With this beast and proper teach you will mastered piano in half year or more! And when you switch to accoustic no problem or big adjustment because the weight of keys actually more heavier than common upright!
I agree it has just enough features required to learn. Bluetooth is a big +. Can record easily using midi or aux cables. Good enough action to not require an upgrade until a long long time. I can't say how long cause i spent a year learning and am yet to outgrow the piano.
It's not a good demo. He doesn't even mention how great the action is on this piano - you have to spend 3000 on a Yamaha digital to get action as good.

Thanks again forever another demo, and you showed a few other features that I don't think you covered last night. I am really considering it, I will be using it at home most of the time, but not all the time. Thanks again
How about the clicking noise of the keys? For some reason, none of the reviewers dont mentions this misunderstanding. After a week of using the FP-10, the keys start to click. This is due to the mechanics of the keyboard and the using of grease under the keys. The problem is very common, there are many discussions on Reddit about this. Owned FP10, the key click problem was confirmed. Loved this instrument, but this clicking issue is really disappointing. Roland needs fp10 quality control.
@@ophiuchusleiz7437 The sound is so soft and the size is compact. I’m very satisfied! And if you connect it to Garage band by bluetooth, there’s another world to play
i bought this piano few days ago, it's many years i play an upright piano, i have some difficult to adjust my piano technique on the roland in fast passages like in czerny etudes, rolands keys seems to be heavier but i didn't really understood what exactly makes more difficult to play on the roland, is it the same for you guys, how is your experience playing this roland compared with acustic pianos?
There is a noticeable shaking in every sound as if the pitch bend is slightly turned out causing a subtle flanger, chorus, etc. effect on every demonstrated patch. I'm not sure what it is.
Hi Jacob, I'm planning to buy one beginner portable digital piano and the top 2 important features I'm considering are key action and piano tone. Not bothered about other available tones or not interested in playing anything other than piano. Confused with options like FP10, P125 and ES110. Can you please help me choosing the suitable one among these 3 with respect to key action and piano tone?
Hi! Good day! I was about to purchase Roland FP 10 but when I am about to connect it to my macbook, it doesn't recognize the FP 10 as a midi controller/instrument for my Digital Audio Workstation (Garageband). It is supposed to automatically recognize the instrument like any other midi keyboards unless Roland FP 10 does not support Midi functions for DAW? Can anyone help? Thank you so much!
I had the same issue with my ipad, until I found the ipad is pairing with the roland as soon as I switch it on so other apps don't recognize it as a midi bt device. I must delete it everytime from BT devices, so other apps are able to connect to it. But I dunno if you're trying with bluetooth too or by usb.
I finally saved up enough money to get a ,cheap‘ digital piano for Christmas, but I‘m torn between the Yamaha P-45 and the Roland FP-10 :/ Which one do you think is better?
sorucha I would recommend the Roland FP-10 due to it having a more realistic feel but hey, that’s just me. I’ve also heard better things but for budget of the px is slightly better but if your budget isn’t more then 700$ then i would recommend the Roland FP-10.
@@Kevin-be9iy yeah thanks for the advice Actually now I'm somewhat torn between the FP-10 and the Kawai ES110 I'm going to try both of them and get the one that feels better for me
I’ve seen most say this is the best piano at this price range. I purchased this 3 weeks ago and I’m just waiting for it to ship. I keep coming back to this video because I’m so excited :D
Good morning. I have just tried to Shazam the piano piece at 0:05 without finding it. It was really lovely for me! Could you say me what’s the name of that music? Thank you 🙏!!
Not sure if this is the right place but Casio PX S3000 or Roland FP30? The store near me is having a sale and they are about the same price. Which one should I get? Any suggestions?
Both have very nice key action, great sounding piano sounds, the Casio has a slim, lightweight case and way more sounds. The Roland has Midi/Audio over Bluetooth, the Casio, AFAIK, has only Bluetooth audio. Tough choice, find a way to play them and see which feels better.
Sadly there is not 1 store in the US that has this in stock :( Every retailer says maybe FEB 2021 & I really don't want the more expensive older brother the FP-30
Hello, great question! Yes, this keyboard will work as a MIDI controller over USB. This is true for almost all keyboards with a USB output. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Hello! What will be more attractive, casio px-s1000 or roland fp-10? Alas, I could not appreciate the live sound of the instruments, I ordered fp-10 for myself, but later I found casio px-s1000, which was not very expensive in price with fp-10, but it seemed better to me, judging by its characteristics. Are these two tools very different? Already managed to get upset with my purchase :(
months late to answer this but there is some controversy regarding the key action on the new casios, and in that regard the roland appears to be superior
Hi, thanks for your interest! The FP-10 doesn’t have MIDI DIN connections, so you can’t connect it directly to hardware synths. However, it does have a USB-MIDI connection, so you can connect it to a computer and use it as a controller for virtual instruments. Hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to me directly with any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Does this keyboard have a "Transpose" button? In order to play along with my church I'm looking for a keyboard that I can quickly change the key from C to sharp or flats?
Hi, Linda! Thanks for your interest. The FP-10 does have a transpose feature, but it’s not a dedicated button. Holding down the Function button and pressing the A key above C6 will transpose the keyboard up one half step - doing the same with the G key will transpose it down one half step - and the G#/Ab key will return the instrument to its default pitch. You can transpose the keyboard up to 6 half steps down or 5 half steps up. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

On the Sweetwater site it says the effects are...Effects Types: 10 x Ambience, 21 x Brilliance. What does this mean? Would that interpret ...10 different Reverb types? 21 EQ Types?
Hello! Effect "types" is perhaps the incorrect way to describe these. There is one type of reverb, or ambience, with 10 incremental adjustment settings from minimum to maximum. The "brilliance" setting is a treble tonal control with 21 increments from dark to bright. Page 6 of the manual below goes into more detail: static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/FP-10_Reference_eng01_W.pdf If you'd like to go into more detail, please call my number below.

Hi. Nice video. I've heard that it doesn't have stereo out to connect speakers. Is that right? I mean can I connect speakers and have a nice sound From it? Thanks!
Hi, Marcos! Thanks for your interest. The FP-10 only has a headphone output. You could use this to connect to a sound system, though. For more fully featured outputs, check out the Yamaha P-125: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/P125BK--yamaha-p-125-88-key-weighted-action-digital-piano-black Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

Supplier here in the netherlands said the same: March 2021. I asked about the clicking noise, they are aware of it. They sold many fp10's and a handful came back with clicking noises, which are fixed/ replaced under warranty. And it's a 3 year warranty. I do know they now only sell a new version of the fp30, (since they use the same keyaction) not sure if this batch has the clicking issue fixed)
Hey, Siri! Josh here at Sweetwater… Thanks for the inquiry! Great question. It really depends on what you're wanting out of the keyboard. Both are great options, and it's hard to choose and say personally. Give me a call and we can figure out together which one would be the best fit. Josh Kattner, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1689, Josh_Kattner@Sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Hi, I bought the FP-10. Could you tell me which of the 5 key actions (super light to super heavy) is the most similar to real acoustic piano key action? Thanks.
@@Kevin-be9iy totally amazing! It feels very nice and you couldn't be wrong at this price point....really good digital piano and even better feel.... you should give it a try before you buy it but it's really good let me know what your thoughts are if you do get it
I was watching another video about the Roland FP series of keyboards and the guy must hadn't known that the headphone jack could be plugged into a set of speakers, which I see can be done.
Hey, GreenLittleRobot. Thanks for asking about the Piano sounds in the Roland FP-10! Piano 1-4 are just variations of different Grand Pianos with slight tonal differences, and that’s really about it. Another word for it would be the Timbre of each sound varies as you select each option. If you have any other questions please let me know! You can always Google the Owners Manual as well, but they don’t give a description of the sound, so hopefully this helped in some way. If you need anything else feel free to reach out! Thanks and take care. Jack Wellington, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3240, jack_wellington@sweetwater.com
