songs for the upcoming service? Running the song order, the sequence of verse, chorus and bridge and walking through the overall feel of each song in the set including song dynamics. I would like to get this flow video from my worship leader who leads on a keyboard. You can post this on a private YouTube channel and everyone on the team can freely access it.
But how does it feel you ask? This board has the same PHA-4 keyboard unit as the FP-30X had, but the FP-40 boasts newly optimized touch curves tailored to the updated sound engine for greater nuance. The triple sensor in the key action offers superior, faster note
repetition( including trills) and improved expression compared to the dual sensors used by competitors at the same price point. The keys themselves have a tactile feel like ivory. The beauty of these boards is that they have weighted action at an affordable price.
Many churches just need good“ mother boards” with good action and MIDI as they are using MainStage to capture their layered pads and digital effects. So, your board doesn’ t have to have all the huge libraries of heavy analog patches; they just play through it. Having your favorite pad patch dipped in atmospheric reverb and delay played through the nuanced responsiveness of the key bed is where this board will shine.
I like the straightforward clean interface, and the Roland Piano Sphere app adds another entire dimension to the playing experience.
Pound for pound, Roland has a winner with this expressive FP-40 keyboard.
