For me personally, it's a disappointment and in many ways a step backwards compared to older models (e.g. RD700NX). 1. The flagship model has one of the worst piano sounds in Roland's entire history. Those who have the Rd2000 as their first Roland instrument don't have much to compare it to, so they might be fine with it. But I owned the 700nx and I would really find more things to complain about. 2. Split - I used the function of switching the double bass to the left hand a lot when playing live. On the RD700nx, the SPLIT key was located at hand, roughly in the middle of the instrument. On the RD2000, it's on the top right and quite inaccessible if you have to switch it around. I don't understand why they placed it where they placed it. 3. I knew how to connect the pedal and cables on the RD700nx when I was sitting behind the instrument and it was clear where I had to plug in what. On the rd2000 you can't see almost anything and you have to either bend forward a lot or not do it from behind the keyboard. You'll say "the gentleman is a detailer" but if you have to deal with it on every edge...annoying and impractical solution. 4. on the rd700nx, even in complete darkness, the LEDs were placed so that it was visible on all parts of the control and I was able to switch instruments even in a dark bar. - the rd2000 has a switch on the side almost completely in the dark, which means you risk losing the place of the Pad section to some other ... 5. I had to download the piano sound from the 700 NX from the Roland library. The rd2000 pianos are, to put it mildly, average. 6. Suitable Electric piano sounds are scattered around 20 places in El.pianos. It may be a matter of opinion, however, I recommend putting it in the presets, BUT when you create a program or scene, you have to turn off the old sound with one button and turn on the new one. On the RD700nx it was one button, again a step back for LIVE playing. 7. The overall volume is quite low and the keyboard settings are on medium, you get a lot of work out of it, or you can dig out the sound. You can switch the sensitivity to soft and very soft, but then it plays as if you were hitting FORTE. The nuances are lost and it's not just volume up. Speaking of which, the gain wheel is missing - which on the 700nx was a suitable addition to amplify the overall sound (for solos in a band and the like). Even when the volume was almost max, the gain could still significantly amplify the signal. I didn't find this function on the RD2000. 8. The keyboard also feels worse than the pha III ivory feel of the 700nx. It's a bit heavier and has sharp edges. I've played literally 1000 or more instruments, I was looking for Roland mainly because of the keyboard, because on others I felt like I was playing some kind of toy.. but the rd2000 disappointed me on this side too. I remember when I played the new 700nx I was so enchanted by the quality of the keyboard that I played only classical music of relatively high difficulty all evening. I mean, I don't have fidgety fingers and I'm not looking for light mechanics, since I'm a pianist, but the development of this new mechanics disappointed me.. and another detail that the feet from the bottom of the instrument are not flat like the previous models were, but are at an oblique angle.. this means that no matter how you put it on a stand, only one foot will always sit on the stand and the other will not.. by the way, you will either have the instrument crooked or you will have to disassemble them.. So in summary, disappointment for 2 liters I would expect at least better control and not to mention the main sound of the piano. The sound is like from a barrel. + it is a little lighter by about two kilos compared to the 700nx. that's one of the small advantages. So that I don't completely dismiss it, it may be suitable for someone in the studio and has a lot of samples, someone who likes to play with the settings. It doesn't suit me much for live playing. Real value 1500e max. and I'm a Roland fan. What's worse is that there is currently nothing better on the market for the customer of my requirements.. if you have a different opinion, write to me at michaldirer@gmail.com, I'd like to be wiser :) Greetings from Zilina.
