Roland V-Piano vs Keyscape (NO TALKING)
I played the V-Piano when it first appeared at the Frankfurter Musikmesse (back in 2015?). To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed when I played it at that time at the Musikmesse. Did it get updates in the meantime and sound / feel better today?
I believe the last update was in 2011. The instrument was released in 2009 if I’m not mistaken.
great song! great live performance as well! v-piano sounds muffled keyscapce way better.
you're rich
I'm a lover of synths and for me Roland is the best in the world along with Yamaha (with the last Montage/Montage M); But with the pianos I like more the Yamahas right now (CFX, Hamburg, C7, Nashville C3...) Roland has V-Piano but the Fantom and RD2000 doesn't sound like the original V-Piano for me... Until now! This update in insane! If the brand continues this line will be the #1 in the future🔥
It’s because of this update that I told my friend to keep his RD 2000.
That's A LOT of (kinda unnatural) reverb for a piano 😉. Regarding the which one is ''the best'' quest, that's almost impossible. But I do believe that the older Kurzweils (K2000/K2500/K2600 with additional piano rom installed) have some kind of authenticity and feel that's difficult to achieve with a digital and/or sample based piano.
There’s no such thing as the best
The original Roland V-Piano, Roland RD-2000 default V-Piano modules, Modartt Pianoteq and Arturia Piano-V 3 all have the same issue where the attack of the notes sound too soft, synthetic and not properly detailed. The German Grand Expansion is entirely different. The attack sounds nice and detailed, I can hear the thump of the hammer felt. The sound of the German Grand here isn’t just realistic, it’s beautiful. The other pianos sound like they were state-of-the-art back in their day. This sounds like state-of-the-art right now. Roland hasn’t been milking their V-Piano tech over and over expecting it to work and sell; it seems they’ve actually been refining it until it became better and better.
It feels nice to play it but it takes a toll on the overall polyphony of the instrument. Also it cuts off when switching to a different preset/scene.
What I will make note of is how both instruments sounds. Keyscape is softer, noisier so it sounds like it’s like I’m hearing a recording of it, but it also sounds more like a real piano. Keyscape is a sample-based instrument - it’s playing back multiple audio files to create its sound - maybe that’s why. V-Piano has no noise whatsoever and has a clearer, purer sound. It sounds slightly synthetic and artificial, but it still sounds beautiful. This is because V-Piano is modelled - the sound is generated on the fly by the computer using a bunch of mathematical algorithms - giving me the impression that I’m hearing the piano straight through my ears.
Keyscape has a denoise option which makes the sound darker but even with that on it’s still noisier than the V-Piano.
Question, what patch did you use on the Fantom?!?
It was something I tweaked myself but can’t remember because I filmed this 4 years ago.
Yeah, keyscape has the edge over VP. Sb: I can listen to you play all day…You have an AMAZING touch!!!
Thanks! I mostly use Keyscape nowadays but I like how the V-Piano feels when I play it.
nice playing 🎹
Thanks!
I would like to ask if you think the Roland German Concert is good enough or close enough to the sampled piano sound
@@sale6257 It’s bright and sometimes better than sampled instruments. I would used it for playing in a band or for solo where you need a lot of low end and you’re playing big chords. The way the notes ring together and interact with each other makes it a special instrument. I wouldn’t use it for soft, delicate playing that needs to sound warm. It’s simply too bright for that.
@@rolandv-piano Thank you for your detailed explanation
Did not like the tone on the low notes from the Keyscape
Yes, Keyscape is not the best for a robust low end tone.
as a natural piano I prefet Grand S (Kontakt) a thousand times over Keyscape, and always use PSP piano reverb (specially on Keyscape)
@@diegoalejo15 I’ve tried PSP piano reverb and it’s amazing.
@@rolandv-piano I forgot to say beautiful performance!
I have the RD-2000. I like it. Beats others in that same price point. Piano patches need the "piano designer" to level out a few soft or loud volume keys, and some voicing issues need to be adjusted. In my experience all digitals under $5000. have these issues. Some people don't mind or don't notice it especially if you're playing huge chords, you can't hear it. It annoys me "for example" to play a seventh key and it's too soft to hear it. But all the keys are adjustable.
The V-Piano has a special software where you can voice and adjust any key separately. The display on the RD is way to small for that and you can’t tweak every parameter.
Do you know how I can load this into keyscape? I can't find anywhere to load patches.
Yes, you need to first find the STEM folder and then the user folder to be able to paste the preset in there.
@@rolandv-piano How do I then open the patch in keyscape?
@@ProdTyBeats Above the list with sounds in Keyscape you have 3 tabs. Select the “User” tab and it should appear there.
@@rolandv-piano It's not letting me select the user tab for whatever reason
The German expansion is not the only modelled piano. There are other more or less 10 modelled pianos the come with the standard new RD2000. But they are not amazing as the German expansion is...
Yes, to me this one stood out.
@@rolandv-piano (this is my ohter YT account but I'm still @andreafieschi8318) My preferred variation is the bold version, which I modified a little bit to gain some more resonance and open lid condition. Pratically I only use this one when I'm live on the stage. It is also enough brightness to be used well when you're performing in a band. Previously, with the standard grand piano, I had to modify the equalisation to fit the on stage needs. The German expansion is more "ready to use" in comparison with the previous presets. Well done!
A lot of UK retailers have none of these antiques in stock right now. Might be a sign of things to come and Roland clearing the decks for a replacement - about time.
Hi, nice playing and taste 👌.SUBSCRIBED! Much earlier I blend sounds in Omnisphere, I often found that a lot of layering was unnecessary, they did not play a big role in the mix. Now I have a "Viscount Legend 70's" Stage Piano, and I like to blend sounds when appropriate and I approach this more practically. So that every sound is justified and readable. In this video I use 5 sounds simultaneously, PIANO+RHODES+DX+FM and the fifth sound appears at the 55th second PAD czcams.com/video/4jKVWIVZznY/video.html
Thank you! I prefer to layer only a few sounds too but I’m also limited by the polyphony of the instrument which is often disappointing.
Great playing and stuff! I remember those times, starting in 2010, when I followed and listened to every demo from VPiano, it was incredibly interesting. Now listening to the RD-2000 I have a little mixed feelings... the feeling that it doesn’t sound like the original V-Piano, but borrowed primary features.
Thanks! Fantom sounds in the past didn’t come close to the real V-Piano sounds despite the marketing Roland did. I’ve only tried the German Concert expansion on the RD 2000 and was actually impressed. I still own the V-Piano and I must say that the touch and integration of the sound engine is superior to any digital keyboard I’ve tried.
@@rolandv-piano Yes, I remember the release of the RD-2000 itself with its piano sound and the period when the update from German Grand came out, the difference is noticeable. Unfortunately I didn't try V-Piano live, only Scott Tibbs demos remaining in my head 🙂
@@rolandv-piano The action on the RD2000 is superior to that in the VPiano though, right? Longer fulcrum, basically a newer design?
@_trismegistus No, to the contrary it’s significantly worse and less predictable. It also feels heavier which might be something you like.
@@rolandv-piano Really? Wow that's surprising, and sucks. Can you feel any negative effects of the shorter keys/fulcrum in the vpiano?
sehr schönes Demo - findest du auch, dass die Tasten etwas zu laut klappern? Hammerschlag eben...
After all we will merely give our opinions on the sound. But both listening to this gorgeous playing and reading the comments are so much fun. So much learning in both. 😊
I had RD2000 and it wins in terms of keyboard responsiveness. I'm not talking about the hammer action, I'm talking about the combination of pressing a key and then playing the sound. Because it's synthesis, it's as natural as possible and without delay. When you play through sampler libraries, you hear the delay even at the smallest buffer size. It always feels like you're listening from the side, not playing yourself. And it's not just because of the buffer size. When playing on RD2000 on the physical modeling engine there is no such feeling. And the sound is much better than the Pianoteq. But I sold it because I'm not comfortable with its display and menus.
Not true, I have a Mac M2 and you can achieve almost 0 latency with a quality audio interface. But I still prefer an acoustic instrument for playing.
@@rolandv-piano As I said, it has nothing to do with the latency that the audio interface gives you. This is only small factor. I'm talking about something a little different. V-piano has better feel under your fingers, better feedback. It's one of the driest sounds and hits you right in the face. All the libraries sound like it's a beautiful picture under glass, that's how it feels under your fingers. Too many factors for that and it's long to describe. Anyway this is just my opinion
Yes, I agree with you that the V-Piano is more responsive. It has to do with how everything is integrated (keybed, sensors, sounds, calibration, etc…). Sometimes I record my self on the V-Piano and send the MIDI data to a sample library afterwards. I personally like the feel of the V-Piano but the sound is for me not realistic enough in every register and the stereo image is too narrow compared to other plugins.
@@rolandv-piano "It has to do with how everything is integrated (keybed, sensors, sounds, calibration, etc…)" Yeah, that's absolutely right. That's what I was talking about. The V-Piano is good for playing, but for studio work there are many better options out there
It is very much possible to tweak the EQ of the German concert piano's [generated] sound in a way that it could come exceptionally close to a perfect replication of the keyscape's [sampled] sound - I would have made EQ adjustments with slight lowering on the high end and slightly bringing up the mid-range.
Yes it’s possible to EQ both sounds according to your preference. I believe I boosted the highs and lows of the German Concert by a few dB.
How can I open this on my daw? ( ableton) Windows
You need to find the STEM folder and the user folder and paste the preset in there.
Boa!!! O piano do Rd é um pouco mais brilhante, com menos graves e mais aberto.. mas ambos soaram lindos. Abraços
I downloaded to Mac but how do I open to see the curve settings
Go to the “SETTINGS” tab and then it’ll be under “VELOCITY”
@@rolandv-piano right I did that but still don't see your curve settings as a option
Awesome keyboardist ❤
Wow your playing Is absolutely beautiful!
Is it possible to get this on an akai mp live 2?
You can choose a different velocity curve in Keyscape but each midi controller sounds different.
But is it possible to load keyscape onto an mpc live 2?
@markmaw8 You can use Keyscape in a DAW or stand alone. The library is 80 GB and you need a computer for that. But you can trigger the sounds with any midi controller.
@@rolandv-piano I have a 2 tb hard drive in my mpc. Space is of no issue. I wouldn't want to spend money on keyscape for it not to work thought. I haven't seen any videos on CZcams of keyscape on mpc, I don't use daws or pc at all, tried before but I was getting latency issues constantly..
You need a good computer and a sound card that has very low latency. I use a M2 Mac and I’m upgrading now to an RME interface with almost 0 latency. But I need a keyboard because that’s how I write and play music. I think you need specific build in plugins for your Akai.
Keyscape
Leaning.... safe and secure - love the #vibe of this hymn
Yes, that is the song! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely, you got me considering the V-Piano… you are bringing the right flow to these pieces.. and I didn’t know the V piano had this capability!
@robertmorton4621 If you can find one I think the V-Piano is still worth it.
Wish I could make that sound on my PA5X... the board sounds great
@@markl6164 You technically can. I’m using Keyscape here. The V-Piano just sends midi data to my computer.
Keyscape is better but nothing beats the hardware keyboard
Debatable, anything can be replaced
Where does the RD 2000 fit in Rolands lineup of keyboards ? Is it the top model ? Is it above a 670 or 920 ? The Roland sounded great until you played the Keyscape. Does that keyscape sound come in a Yamaha keyboard ? And can all of todays keyboards be used as a controller for Keyscape. I want to replace my 15 year old Yamaha keyboard. And i want something allot nicer. But im not sure what to get. I will be using it in my living room. But moving into my bedroom home studeo when i want to record into a daw. And i want the most realistic piano sounds. I am not a great piano player. Just a song writer who wants to record songs that i write. I will not be gigging with the keyboard. I have been watching videos of the 525 and 680, 920, 88, 90 and others. But i still dont know whats best for me. Most videos seem like they dont want to give honest opinions because they are selling all the brands. I wish there was a video that laid out all the strong points and weak points of the top 10 keyboards in a honest way. From someone who isnt bias to one company or sponsered. Any smart advice would be appreciated.
No keyboard or software is the best. You’ll probably need to have multiple options for different types of music. Keyscape is an affordable sampled sounds selection. Modelled instruments are sometimes more realistic in terms of sound. You could probably start with the SL 88 Grand and a M2 Mac to avoid latency and other issues.
Lovely sound and playing. Thanks for sharing the patch . . . I have downloaded and will check it out. A warmer sound is always welcome!
Thank you! Enjoy!
@@rolandv-piano Can't figure out how to load the prt_key file into Keyscape, though . . .
@@lawrencelougheed If you’re on Mac you’ll need to find the STEM folder and then paste the preset in the user folder.
@@rolandv-piano Thanks! That worked 🙂

The real winner? Everyone who listened to your playing!
Thanks a lot!
Can this be Used in FL Studio?
It can be used in any DAW or standalone
Hold up.. why, of course. Any DAW..😊
Can the sound be loaded into Nord Piano 5?
No, not enough space for this kind of libraries on keyboards.
That was beautiful ma guy👊🏽!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great playing
Thank you!
Why now no korg pa 5x videos? 😢
I like that German Grand, use it all the time on my RD-2000. Lots of variations of it included plus very customizable if you wanna tweak. Something I don't think I've heard others talk about is how this German Grand compares to the newest Pianoteq piano sounds.
Wow thats beautiful 😮
Roland RD300GX/700GX and Fantom had an Ultimate Grand that sound pretty similatlr to Keyscape piano, I may be wrong. The RD2000 sounds completely different to those pianos. I like both piano sounds though.
So you shell out for the RD2000, then to get a decent piano sound you then have to add on another £145 to get this dated keyboard up to spec with a quality piano sample?? Dont think so, not when Nord offer free lifetime updates of all their piano sounds on their keyboards. You should be offering this free to rd2000 customers.
Nords have inferior keybeds and are prone to parts breaking
@@watcher9987 The grand doesnt. It has a Kawai keybed action.
You can get the same action on a Kawai with excellent piano sounds in my opinion for a 1/4 of the price.
@@bobaasmr9347Thats very true. I think the nord high cost is because of the Kawai keybed and the access to their instrument samples online, that you can download into the keyboard itself. As you say, tge Nord is prone to keybed problems, but so is the Kawai which makes sence as thats whats in the Nord grand. Seems to be a common problem with many makes. Roland seem to be the only ones with less problems imo.
I don’t like the Kawai keybeds. The action doesn’t feel natural to me.
I would love to know the EQ/compressor settings you used for Keyscape. It sounded great. But your playing is fantastic! The way you play, you could make a Casio from 1980 sound great.
If I remember correctly I just used the “Classical” preset in Keyscape, boosted the lows by 25% and chose the “warm” character. This Yamaha C7 has a warmer/closer sound and is less metalic compared to the default preset in Keyscape. I agree, the playing is the most important thing. Thanks for watching!
@@rolandv-piano Thank you. I will try that!
Not saying Korg piano is bad, actually pretty decent for an arranger piano, very nice work. But compared to Keyscape, come on... the layering, the harmonics, the size of the samples, even the quality of the audio interface, you cannot compare them, is like comparing a slingshot to a hunting rifle. But, as i said, good work with the preset.
I agree, I would never buy an arranger. I don’t own this Korg. I just made a few presets for a friend who bought the Pa5X and thought it was cool to show the difference between VST’s and hardware sounds.
No one can beat Korg.
Says who???
Yamaha Montage pianos... easily beat it
@danielojeda9220 All these brands making money from the fact that you guys are arguing who’s the best. They all lack something and need to improve a ton of things.
