Have you ever played a digital piano in which the keys play poorly and loud? The PHA-4 key-bed is designed to do the opposite. Roland has truly nailed this on all of their digital pianos that I have played on. This is because the keys are individually weighted in the Roland FP-10. The lower notes feel heavier than the lighter keys do, just like on an acoustic piano. The PHA-4 standard is an 88 key full-weighted action which aims to capture the realism that you get when you press down an actual piano key.
If you enjoy running digital pianos as MIDI controllers, this is a great choice as it’s affordable and it plays extremely well. Overall, the Roland FP-10, in my opinion, has the best key-bed for around this price range. Some people get super into messing with the touch-sensitivity, but I’ve always just found that Roland does a great job in putting it where most people will like it. This setting makes it there’s no difference in the sound whether you hit the key hard or soft. I don’t think this is a great setting as you won’t be learning proper mechanics if you have this turned on. This makes it so you basically can’t have any dynamics. My least favorite setting is the fixed setting. The default is going to be the medium and in all honesty, this is how I play on it. You can switch between Super Heavy, Heavy, Medium, Light, Super Light, and Fixed. This means that you can adjust to how hard you hit the notes essentially. You can adjust the touch-sensitivity so it plays to the velocity of your keystrokes. This is their most affordable option that they make and it is also found on the FP-30 and FP-60. Roland used their PHA-4 standard key-action for the FP-10. Roland has a big win in this department because of this. The hammer-grade action keys are becoming an industry standard, yes, however, not for keyboards in this price range. This is because of a new technology they have tried out and I think this is great and you can definitely tell a difference in the feel here. When you play this keyboard, you will notice that it feels like real ivory keys. They have been hinting at the white keys being moisture absorbent. I think that this might be the best feeling keyboard near this price range and I believe because of this it’s going to attract a lot of pianists.
Key-Bedįor this price, I am honestly surprised at how good the keys feel. The Roland FP-10 is the top choice for my list of the best digital pianos under $500. You can always use it as a MIDI controller nowadays and find a better sound, but the keys a permanent. In a digital piano in today’s age, I think the most important thing is just how the instrument plays and feels. This isn’t the biggest deal as you can always get another one for a cheap price. The Roland FP-10 comes with the Roland DP-10 sustain pedal which is not the greatest pedal. In all of my years personally playing the piano, Roland has always been the company that sticks out for having realistic feeling keys. This is easily one of the slimmest digital pianos on the market currently with only the Casio PX S-1000 and the PX S3000 coming to mind. Slim, sleek, and relatively light in weight are how I would describe the Roland FP-10.
