Roland’s new GO:PIANO 88 has more sounds and a sleeker look than its predecessor - just don’t mention the reduced polyphony and battery life

Roland GO:PIANO 88PX.

Roland has announced a new, “refreshed” version of its GO:PIANO 88. As you might expect, this improves on the previous model in a number of ways. However, somewhat strangely, its specs actually appear to be slightly worse in a couple of others.

We’ll get to that shortly, but what we can confirm right away is that the GO:PIANO 88PX (to give it its official title) is a lightweight, portable (you can run it on batteries) 88-note portable keyboard with ‘box-shape’ velocity-sensitive keys (no hammer-action here). There are five types of touch sensitivity - up from three on its predecessor, the GO:PIANO 88P - and a huge number of extra tones.
