The Roland GO:KEYS 5 is a compact, all-in-one music creation keyboard with 61 touch-sensitive notes. It uses the ZEN-Core engine and includes over 1000 Roland sounds, from acoustic pianos and orchestral instruments to synthesizers, guitars and drums. It is designed for players with no previous experience, with deeper features for more advanced use.
It includes over 200 onboard music styles for auto-accompaniment and a chord sequencer with over 300 ready-to-play presets. You can edit the chord sequences or create your own. While a progression loops, you can change between four variations, drop drums, bass and backing chords in and out, swap instruments, and apply performance effects such as filtering, lo-fi tones and beat slicing. The accompaniments can also be controlled with one or two left-hand fingers or with full left-hand chords.
A microphone input and onboard vocal effects add reverb, real-time harmonies that follow your chords, and robotic voice tones. You can record your performance and play it back at any time. Songs can be played via Bluetooth, USB memory or the analog audio inputs, and a center cancel function removes vocals from them. Built-in stereo speakers with a passive radiator provide the sound, and the keyboard can run on AA batteries. A headphone connection allows private playing.
