To be fair, Roland has labeled the most popular functions on the keys so that they’re easier to find, but still, it takes some practice. This is a very popular keyboard from Yamaha’s Portable Grand line, which has been around for quite a while. This is a very capable and well-regarded action with triple sensor key detection, escapement and textured key tops- features generally not seen on actions available at this price point. The piano touch sensitivity is also adjustable to accommodate different playing styles. Piano Designer app from Roland: officially the FP-10 is NOT compatible with this app, BUT it does seem to work – allows you to modify piano voices for things like string and damper resonance, open and closed grand piano lid etc. If action is your top priority, you simply can’t beat the PHA-4 action at this price point, and this alone makes the FP-10 an extremely compelling option for many.

All of the basic tones that you’ll need in any basic professional setting or even to have some fun with at home are covered, such as electric pianos, organs, strings and synths. The keys are made of plastic and topped with moisture-absorbing Ivory Touch, which provides a better grip and enhances control.The GHS doesn’t have any textured material on top of the keys, and it uses 2-sensor key detection system. But of course, the famous name and an attractive price aren’t the only things the P-45 has to offer. There’s no strict standard, and touch is a highly subjective thing, so I cannot predict which action YOU will like better. I’ve talked to people who preferred every one of these actions over the others, so there’s no clear winner here. Which action do you prefer (if you want the most realistic action compared to an acoustic piano, the Roland wins easily)

The S1100 is using a dual downward-facing system with 16 watts of amplifier power and a pair of tone ports so your ear can get some direct sound. This is also undoubtedly an interesting comparison, especially since the focus of these two instruments is a little bit different. Where the Roland FP10 is very much offered as an inexpensive practice instrument with a great tone and action but stripped-down features, the PX-S1100 is a little bit more versatile, and with discreet line outputs plus battery operation and a super slim cabinet, the S1100 is more equipped to serve as a gigging piano.In total, the keyboard has 12 built-in sounds and a nice set of features that any beginner will appreciate.
