Sound test:
This is not a review, just a subjective experience. Since I already have a roland bk5, I consider getting an electric piano with a good feel and sound and simple functions. At the beginning, I have been wandering between fp30 , es100, and p115. Since the piano sound of BK5 is recognized to be a bit higher than that of the arranger keyboard of the same grade, I am worried that the sound of other electric pianos will not adapt, so I can only continue to use the roland electric piano. .
Some giveaways:
Show your true face:
The system is built!
The timbre that opens up is not as amazing or worth looking forward to at the beginning, but after playing for a while, the timbre becomes more and more charming. Yamaha electric piano P series and DGX series have been played for many years. The piano sound is the type that catches the eye, bright and aggressive, and will catch you as soon as it comes out; while the piano sound of roland SuperNatural will only show after 1 second of hearing. Her charm, the slightly close pickup method, makes the captured dynamics and details of a little string vibration slowly unfold with the sustaining process. There are indeed some software sound sources with high quality, such as the ivory series, that is, the sounds of the one or two brands, but the software sound sources are indeed more troublesome to play with. After carefully comparing the piano sounds of Roland BK5 and FP30, there is still a significant gap in the number of samples and dynamics.
A key factor in playback equipment, whether it's headphones or speakers. The built-in speakers of the FP30 have a thicker bass, but the overall sound field distribution is still relatively turbid. As shown in the figure, I use a multimedia speaker with a price of around 1700. I feel like maybe 75% of this tone is being played, and the other 25% of the details and dynamics are not shown due to the equipment. This multimedia entertainment-level speaker makes the bass heavier, with a good sense of space and layering. For example, the bass and drums of the BK5 accompaniment are very good, but the resolution of the mid-high frequency is not enough, but it is still better than that of the FP30 and BK5. The speakers are much better (BK5's built-in speakers have almost no low frequency). I feel that a monitor speaker with a price of around 2000~3000 is needed to basically fully display all the characteristics of this sound source. The merchant actually gave me a 50 yuan earphone of a different brand, and when I put it on, the tone of the FP30 was immediately the same as the tone of the electronic organ in the supermarket. The importance of visible playback equipment.
A useful feature is that the FP has a bluetooth interface that can transmit MIDI over bluetooth. The FP30 has no MIDI in/out interface, only USB to Host port, so if you use the FP30 as a MIDI keyboard to control the BK5, it is usually impossible to connect it without a computer. Bluetooth MIDI saved us. Use this IOS MIDI Routing application as shown in the figure below, and use FP30 as MIDI in and BK 5 as MIDI out device (BK5 is connected to the mobile phone through the USB port, and FP30 is connected to the mobile phone through Bluetooth), so that the BK5 becomes a Arranger keyboard with 88-weight PHA4 keyboard!
