It allows you to record and evaluate your performances via your phone or smart device. Piano Everyday is an app that accompanies your daily practice routines. MetronomeĪnother very common feature on digital pianos, but one that any aspiring pianist would be lost without. You can record one full song internally with the option of a USB flash drive for additional storage. The F701 has a built-in 3-track recorder that captures 16-bit/44.1 kHz audio. What it does is it gives you more room to play expressively without putting such a harsh cap on dynamics. The Roland F701 has a volume limit feature that sets a limit that you won’t exceed regardless of other settings and how heavy-handed you are. Sometimes playing with headphones is the answer, but you don’t hear the sound naturally that way. Volume limitĭigital pianos are used at home more than anywhere else, which means the volume can be an issue. The Roland F701 offers equal, just major, just minor, Arabic, and much more. If you are a theory buff or a hardcore muso, the chance to explore various temperaments should excite you. The reason for equal temperament is that it allows you to play with fewer flaws or inconsistencies across the entire keyboard. We are used to playing with equal temperament in Western music, which is actually out of tune if you compare it to just temperament. In music theory, temperament refers to a tuning system that alters the size of intervals between notes. So, it might be small, but it’s clear, and it keeps everything nice and simple. However, you’d be surprised how many digital pianos with limited functions become irritating to use because they don’t have a display of any sort. It’s not a large screen like you’d get on a stage piano. The first thing we should say is that we are talking about a very small OLED display. Roland has leaned heavily on composers like Burgmuller and Czerny, who are well-known for their technical exercises. The thing we like most about the F701’s internal songs is that they have been carefully selected to do just that – help you develop your technique. Most digital pianos have some internal songs, whether it’s just a couple of demos or tracks that actually help you develop technique.
