General

Veteran keyboardists who want more than the standard options rejoice! Behold Roland's E-A7 arranger keyboard! It's clear Roland did not skimp on the physical controls for this instrument. Dozens of sliders, buttons and pads, as well as two displays, all serving one purpose: ease of use. With a little practice, the E-A7 will allow you to work faster than ever. That's great if you're a professional entertainer, as you'll have to be able to change settings and adjust your sound on the fly - you shouldn't keep your audience waiting!

Roland E-A7: Features

Of course, the most important aspect about any instrument is its sound, and it won't come as a surprise that this Roland keyboard doesn't disappoint! The E-A7 comes preloaded with over 1500 tones- and not just the typical western ones, but a wide variety of them, from all over the world! To keep track of all the different tones, you can use the right display, while the left one is used for the E-A7's 600 styles. Those styles are excellent in their own right, but they even have various intros, fills and endings to complement them. There are also plenty of effects you can apply to the tones, as well as to an external input. Basically that means you can plug in a microphone, sing along to what you're playing and even add some reverb or a subtle delay to your vocals.

Additional Possibilities

The Roland E-A7 has 128 MBs of memory for you to load samples for your own tones - ideal if you want a specific sound that Roland doesn't offer. Furthermore, the Style Composer allows you to create your own backing styles. However, doing so is quite labour-intensive, so don't underestimate the pre-programmed styles. Finally, if you've written a great song, you can record both your playing and your vocals and save the whole as a CD-quality WAV file! In short, the Roland E-A7 arranger keyboard allows you to be as creative as you want, and the results speak for themselves!

Roland E-A7 Arranger Keyboard

Je l'ai depuis 2 semaines, donc pas encore tt vu . Je cherchais un arrangeur différent de ce que font les "autres" qui se copient souvent ! Dépaysement garanti avec la catégorie World qui occupe plus de 50 % des styles ( C valable aussi pour les Tones ) . Les arrangement sont vraiment intéressants mais pour certain difficile à jouer si on est pas du pays concerné. Les sons sont correct mais sans plus. çà se ressent ds les styles . Donc, larges choix de style et de tones. Par contre, pas de mémoire de performances ! C'est vraiment dommage ! les "one touch" et les "pads" sont sauvegardés avec les styles...(ces derniers sont pratiquement absent ds les styles fournis !! ) dés que vs faites la moindre modif, il vs faudra créer un UPG ds une UPL si vs ne voulez rien perdre . Trés peu de memoire interne pr les styles et les pad ! ( clé USB obligatoire limitée à 32 Go , ce qui n'est mm pas préciser ds la doc papier qui d'ailleurs totalement incomplète : A voir celle téléchargeable ).

Pourkoi Roland a t-il renoncé à l'écran tactile ? G hésité à l'acheter à cause des 2 petits écran ... finalement on s'y fait mais le voyage entre les nombreuses pages est incessant !

Pour le moment Bilan mitigé...

Roland E-A7 Arranger Keyboard

He comprado este teclado por el precio que me lo habia rebajado aunque no era mi favorito ya que me gustaba el pa600 primero probe este en una tienda y me dio sensacion de teclas debiles un sonido muy bueno pero los altavoces no dan mucho de si, etc como digo al compararlo con este eran mas las ventajas que tenia como los 1500 tones, los estilos muy buenos y sobre todo un sampler verdadero entrada de micro con efectos a tiempo real etc etc el teclado sonaba mucho mejor que el pa600 ojo sonaba hay instrumentos mas conseguidos en realismo en el pa600 pero este tiene unos sonidos increibles y si te permite hacer los tuyos con archivos waw es un lujo, pero el problema real de este teclado no es todo lo bueno que tiene es que es bastante complejo de manejar no recomendable para cualquier aficionado ya que ni el manual que trae esta completo ya que tiene tantas posibilidades que hay que echarles horas y horas y eso si lo tiene el pa600 que es mas manejable ahora si el roland EA 7 es un pedazo de teclado bien construido con teclas muy buenas y los accesos directos de los botones si son mejores que los de la serie pa, todavia estoy en proceso de aprendizaje o de dominarlo pero las primeras impresiones son muy buenas o buenisimas.
