Hi
I recently purchased a Roland FP E50. I was unable to try one because stores in my area carry limited in store test units. I went online and it seemed to get good reviews as well as having a good sound on YouTube. However, after playing it for a few months I was very disappointed. The sound of the Keyboard is dead. It sounds like there is a thick blanket over it. There is no depth to the sound particularly in the lower range and the black keys sound awful. I've tried numerous settings to no avail. I also tried tuning each individual key with a digital tuner with no luck. The Yamaha 660 I traded in was lightyears ahead in sound.
I was wondering if anyone else with the FP E50 has had the same experience. Or if someone can offer some suggestions with the settings that I may have missed.
Thank you
Tony
