Roland E-X50 - What Shop "Reviews" Don't Dare Tell You

guys, bk3 vs ex50 witch better ?

I have been tuning to you for awhile and we all have our individual "brands" from expeirnce or desire for "what's the latesst" and what woould be for me. I am 81 yrs old perfoorming since age 4. I am primeraily Hammond C3 with a "secoondary digital keyboard or MIDI moodule) in public as small as in the front window of a local retaurant form "solo to 'whoever shows up' friend players/singers any night! Way back then it was TOO MUCH GEAR to NOT enough. aaaarrrrgh! One momnet I was doing smooth "dinner music" to crazy party for known "corporate-types". Affter "being -on-the-road-for too long", I hhid in the shadows for over 5 years. My favorite "trio players" ( drums-Hammond B3-guitar) have died, my lovely SUPERIOR (reading, versatile, funky, REAL jazz drummer)...just my 5-octave superior "wife and regionally loved" front-singer it is thaat we are back to a "coffee house" country, window front, duo! We can't invest into over $400 arranger keyboards for our "rhythm section". I have been seaching for affordable solutions for our dilemma. We still have: band truck, lights, PA, monitors, Haammond C3, but no rhythm section. Like a fool I sold my Ensoniq workstation on Reverb and all I have in the Digital world is 61 key MIDI controller, Proteus 1 module and confusion! Can you hellp please? We have 'potential' "siit-down" gigs (Holiday jobs) staring us in the face now!)

thanks, you showed me enough to know this is hard pass.

Ooh yeah Jeremy, about that 'redeeming quality' rhytm section: Don't know which keyboard was wrong, but I think I trust my Roland BK3 more then this thing. When I let them play together both on lets say 120 beats per minute, they start drifting away from eachother immediately. I'll take the wild guess that this thing does not run exactly on what is displayed. One of these days I'll check if my BK3 runs at the right speed with a metronome or click from my daw. Greeting from Jeroen. 🙂Peace! ✌

Can you please review Roland Ex 10, new entrant in the market. Also, if you could suggest between buying Yamaha psr 373 and Casio ct 3500 and Roland. Thanks❤

ketron Event 61, jeremy. Lets start anmoying them to make it less studio and more outdoor friendly !

Many thanks for the video, Jeremy. I downloaded the manual of the E-X50 and it's the spitting image of that of the Kurzweil KP-110. That instrument doesn't feature the Fingered on Bass function. What about the E-X50? Could you check it, please?

Roland E-X50 produces lively beats and natural voices other brands hardly can

This entry-level keyboard series is the worst product from Roland. They should not sell the Medeli keyboards. They don't sound like ‘Roland’ any more because some samples are based on Yamaha’s characteristic sounds. I am so disappointed.

hi Jeremy See how about comparasion roland ex50 with YAMAHA PSR-E473
about full size and tuts . also sound which better?
sound simmiliar with grand piano
thanks a lot
also have any recommend budget similiar price with both keyboard

Me recomiendas el Casio ctx 3000 para empezar a aprender ??

Hi everyone. I am looking for keyboard with speakers and few midi assignable knobs. Any ideas?

Hello Sir, Could you please let me know whether any professional arranger keyboard is coming up from Roland in NAMM 2024 or not? Your reply means a lot sir. Thank you

Hello sir. Roland Ex50 or Casio 9000IN which will be better?

I disagree just got one an sounds way better than psr e473 or casio ctx3000 had those two and ex50 sounds much better maybe because my ex50 is 2023 fabrication date I don't know

Hi how are things?
That good video :)
I have a question about this Roland E-X50 keyboard to a Yamaha psr e473, which one do you recommend the most and why?
I'm between buying one or the other😅

Hi, I just cancelled my order and am grateful for your review. The product as described was too good to be true, it has been on sale recently and I'm wondering if a newer version is coming, however your detective work about where it is from is telling. I already have a Novation Launchkey which I find very frustrating because of non user friendly design, coupled with the Ableton software which is again non user friendly and crippled, they want you to pay big bucks for the full version. I have made music with this set up but don't use it frequently enough and have literally forgotten how to use it. The instructional videos are very poor, not enough emphasis on now to use the basic controls. I think I would have been disappointed with this Roland product, I wanted to input my compositions and layer extra tracks.

Sir is this keyboard helpful for trinity music ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD till grade 8. Thank you

Roland e x50 better Yamaha, because psr e473 have a display problem

Roland's arrangers went down the toilet after the G series, especially with the quality of sounds they started using in their arrangers. They should just get out of the arranger industry and stick to their workstations. They can't hold a candle to Korg or Yamaha in this department. They use bs marketing tactics to sell their over-priced, terribly-made arrangers. And this is coming from a long time avid fan of Roland's older stuff. Very disappointing.

Saya tidak peduli dengan komentar negatif orang orang mengenai Roland E-X50 ini. Mau dianggap Medeli ya silahkan. Bagi saya, Roland tetap yang terbaik. Sudah terlanjur jatuh cinta dengan Roland. Saya sudah membandingkan sendiri antara suara piano dan string dari Yamaha PSR 473 dengan Roland E-50 dan bagi saya masih lebih bagus dan enak suara dari Roland dan akhirnya saya memutuskan membeli Roland E-X50 ini.

There's NOTHING on the Alesis Harmony 61 v. THREE. Can you explain why or would you do a video? Thanks.

What is this HINI50 cabinet? Looks like you store camera lenses in it? Why?

Bè gli effetti midi che esistono da due decenni servono comunque, il galoppo del cavallo ad esempio se vuoi suonare My oh my degli Aqua è fondamentale per l'intro 😏

Bello il suono del sax, questo merita

Medeli? Really? Wow, wat a cheap trick. A good friend of mine bought this keyboard, and I've got it on loan from him. But we were both questioning why this Roland e-x50 did not sound better then my own Roland bk-3 from 10 years ago. Which we would expect, since this is a lot newer. But you explained very well why that is. Still love my bk-3. 👍 That still sounds amazing.

lol I can't watch this cause i just bought this keyboard and I'll get it in two days. Hope I'm not sophisticated enough to notice any of the weaknesses you are gonna mention. No offense, but I don't want any buyer's remorse. As I get better, I'll probably upgrade years from now.

Can I use my USB thumb drive saved MIDI files on the keyboard?

Where is conch shell sound, tell about that no.?

For some of us, 256 polyphony makes huge difference (prior keyboard dropping)- also mic input in this price range with a Good Grand Piano. UPDATE: So, I played for a week, the key action better than my prior Yamaha Piaggero, and Yamaha v80 (I think it was). Of course, to me- JS is right as need press harder and get used to that. Volume much greater than those both, but those were different category both with no MIC input UPDATE, 2 WK: keys action (used to it), vol & mic input good. Dunno other boards, much better for me, than prior ones.

Jeremy you are Christian ?

still no review Roland BK-3???

Not that good as Yamaha... Touch sensitivity is also not effective

What is your preference. Jeremy , the Roland E-X50 or the korg EK 50 I prefer the korg EK 50it sound better and you can add 3 layers voice

This yamaha or medeli sound.not roland :)

Piano, is rich tone👍

I already have Roland E09 IN keyboard and i want another keyboard for my another room. I just want to use Piano Sounds only. So should i go for EX 50 or Yamaha P45?

Can't figure out how to contact you, other than through a post on your videos. Have you had a chance to play the Roland FP-E50 . This keyboard looks awfully good. I have been leaning towards a Yamaha DGX 670 but this new Roland sounds really, REALLY good. I would love to hear your take on it.

Hey Jeremy!
The Yamaha PSR E473 would be a better choice for this price??

Thank you!!

Comprei e devolvi. Não tem nada de Roland nesse teclado.

I was just about to buy this to replace my Casio wk6600 after a few keys stopped working, but I turned it on and started playing it in the store and changed my mind.
I bought the Roland FP 10 instead. Disappoited, no line outs. So I put the Roland on the floor in my office and put the WK6600 back on the piano stand. I'll live with the lost keys for noww.

How to connect sound jeck ,,,

Ea7 vs ex50 which better

Nice video Jeremy. That's funny, I have 30 years old Roland E-70 and it sounds almost the same.😊😊

I wouldn't mind if Roland make a Medeli based version of the AKX10 with at least 1.5gb of user sample memory but even more importantly the roland cover tools such as make up tools and roland rhythms editing features. As an Arab I would also require it to have an Arabic scale 🎹

Jeremy, I just came back to view this video, and you describe this keyboard well, with your familiarity and expertise in many of the features such as auto accompaniment and all the programming and setting functions.

This keyboard, is apparently more popular around the world more than the US and such, is a mixed bag of good, bad, and in between. It looks great with the red trim on black, albeit not ideal visibility of control panel functions.

The glossy surface keys long used is now replaced with textured keys on most decent entry level and above keyboards. My expensive Roland Fantom X6 I had, along with most all keyboard synths/and workstations, including that then flagship model all had glossy keys, except for maybe some of the 88 key versions. My Yamaha PSS-A50 and my Roland JD-Xi has glossy keys, but the latter is a synth.

My Go:Keys and CT-S1 both have nice, textured keys and action that suits me, though the weighted keys of the Roland keyboards do feel nice to me.

As far as the sounds, they are medium/fair, with the General MIDI sound effects cheesy, but amusing. I've had them on even my old Roland XP-10 from the mid 1990s, a good entry level keyboard at the time, more cheaply made than the upper models in the series, but still more expensive than all the much better keyboards I have now, which are all great for their respective price range.

The General MIDI keyboard tones on my Go:Keys still sound good, along with all of the rest, have a good amount of the voice tones most people would need and want, to compliment the stellar acoustic and electric piano tones and speaker/surround sound of the CT-S1, though the Go:Keys has much more variations of tones.

My JD-Xi can cover all the other digital and analog sounds with so much effect variables and features, and the PSS-A50 sounds great for the price and playing, especially for its compact, portable format.

Being actually a rebadged Medelli, it is seriously lacking in sound by comparison to my keyboards and though the auto accompaniment and related features have their perks and shortcomings compared to less expensive Yamaha and Casio keyboard, particularly the recent PSR series Yamaha models and Casio CT series.

The Go:Keys unique phrase loop feature has much more variations than its auto accompliment functions on other keyboards, and sound much more realistic, as opposed to that auto accompliment genre audio fingerprint, i.e. cheesy.

For the most part, the E-X50 is not as easily found in the US, where I live, as opposed to the good supply of the decently affordable auto arranger keyboards from Casio, Yamaha and other brands.

Despite its redeeming features, including the solid build and 256 note polyphony, it would still be a popular and viable good choice for many international performing/gigging musicians, especially solo entertainment artists, the much more affordable Casio CT-S500/S100v, Yamaha PSR-473 and slightly less expensive PSR-EW425 isca much better choice, especially with battery power capability and portability.

But for a non auto accompaniment battery power bread and butter keyboard, at $200 USD, the Casio CT-S1 is hard to beat.

sangat di sayangkan roland tidak menciptakan generasi setelah roland ea7
