Shenandoah in D Major - Roland RD-08 

There are only a few differences between RD-08 and RD-88. Among the the number of scenes and physical controls (RD-08 has double or triple functions for one pots, for instance). The number of tones is the same (3000). There are all effects that may be needed. As far as PHA-4 action implementation is concerned, I think that RD-08 action is quieter that what I experienced in FP-10, A88 mkII and FP-30X. Here are the numbers illustrating the downweight of the action: Middle C (C4) - ~65g C7 - ~57.5g C6 - ~62g C3 - ~67g C2 - 67g 68g moves all the keys C4# - ~55g - ~68g (middle of black key) To get the sound C4 - ~ 86g C7 - 82g C6 - ~86g C2 - 86g C3 - ~89g I should also mention that I recently saw the price of RD-88 drop to the level of RD-08 (in Canada) Michael

@@mfurman Hi, thank you very much for the detailed answer Have you tried using it as a midi controller?

@@DL-kc2mw Yes, I did. It works well (I have a few piano VSTs). I did not buy Digital Audio Interface license (it is an option for RD-08 in contrast to RD-88 where it is included in basic configuration). I used my Focusrite Scarlett

@@mfurman I will explain my question I know there is a key called key touch, the question is whether it changes the tohch as a midi controller as well I had the fp30 and when I tried to play certain VSTs with it like noire piano it didn't do a good enough job The thing is that the fp30 doesn't have the option of the kye tohch like in the rd08, so I'm trying to understand if it's possible to change the level of sensitivity also in relation to midi sorry for the english

@@DL-kc2mw I have to admit that I did not test it specifically for key touch. I set it to light on RD-08 (general setting- not just for a specific scene) and did not check it very thoroughly. I used that rather really as a MIDI controller because I wanted to test all the RD-08 sounds. My piano VSTs have the option to change the curve for touch.
