You don’t just get many variations and types, you also get a rotary speaker effect with a modifiable speed (though only between a ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ preset). Behind the authentic feel and playability is Roland’s powerful SuperNATURAL sound engine, picking up all the nuances of experienced pianists and helping newer players develop more character and dynamics. I’ll just quickly show you a couple more sections of the app so that you can see what kind of additional functionality it adds to your experience with the FP-30X.

Roland's Piano Every Day app lets you control advanced parameters of the piano from your device, as well as giving you the ability to create layered sounds, access sheet music, record your performances and keep a personal practice diary.Just like the FP-30, the FP-30X does NOT give you the ability to save your custom setups as a registration; given that the user interface is so minimal, this is really a shame. However, extra options are nice, and I’m glad that Roland still allows you to access these features, albeit requiring jumping through hoops. This app allows you to really dig into tweaking your piano sounds by adjusting various resonances, custom tunings, all sorts of stuff. Took a bit of doing to figure out the Blutooth Midi to get it working with my learn piano app - but now that I've figured out how, it's nice and simple.

Because I’m used to a lighter action, I’m using a touch sensitivity setting that is one lighter than the default of medium; this does help me hit my desired level of dynamic control, but … it doesn’t change the actual weight of the keys.It should be noted that certain people dislike the bright sound produced by Roland’s SuperNATURAL engine. Well the next piano in their FP line is the Roland FP-60X; that piano actually has a fantastic user interface with lots of quick access buttons, an LCD screen, and it even has a mic in port; but . That being said though, action is a very personal thing; some people prefer lighter actions, some people prefer heavier actions; neither one is right or wrong, it just comes down to personal preference. And given that there are only 5 lit volume indicators, you actually have no idea looking at the display what your volume IS – there are actually 100 volume increments on the FP-30X. I’m personally a fan of darker colors because it hides dirt, but the white model does look striking, especially when it’s paired up with the matching furniture stand.
