I have a Roland and a StudioLogic. I prefer the action of the StudioLogic also. Mine are a cheaper price range but very similar price on each but the StudioLogic has Aftertouch and Roland does not. I found the StudioLogic to be much better and the form factor to be much better also. The joystick effects is a big bonus also. Haven’t done much of an in-depth analysis like this but I find the Roland has resistance all the way down where as the Studiologic is much more pliable as I force down on the keys. Roland makes me want to play hard while the Studiologic brings sensitivity consciousness into my playing. I noticed it right away.

These are fantastic pianos, i used to pick one over the other and change my mind after a day or two, but now i can safely say : all of synchron pianos are great, to the point that i say it's like choosing a real piano, you only have to worry about the type of sound you're looking for and not sampling/scripting nonesense cause all of them are excellent sampled/scripted virtual pianos❤ My all time favourite is the bosendorfer 280vc which has a very authentic and alive sound to it, it feels as real as it gets Thanks David for this video

Great video! For great players, like yourself, everything you talk about is vastly important. For most of us players, I don't know if it makes that much difference. I would love to have a relatively nice small grand piano or even an upright Yamaha, but I know my purchase budget and Maintenace budget will never all it. Therefore the best keyboard/piano for me is the one I use. I doubt if I will ever outgrow the limitations of my keyboard. I am thinking of getting the SL NUMA GT. I watched the KZread video of the tour of the manufacturing facility in Italy and it impressed me. By far the most important thing is to get out of KZread and get on the keyboard, whichever one you have.

Hi. When I did this video I had not yet taken the Numa apart, so I was unable to determine the pivot length. Having taken it apart since this video, I can say that the PHA50 has a longer pivot length. How much longer, I don't know because I don't have the Roland anymore and I never thought to measure the key length when I had it apart. I don't recall if playing at the back of the keys on the Roland was noticeable easier. It might have been slightly. Both actions send note off velocities.

Wow! Gutsy move, and only 4 hours. I really trust you on keyboard actions, so happy to have you around to test these keyboards for the professional pianists. I have to play whatever stage piano is there, most are excellent, but some are not, I have to adapt to the bad ones. I may have to practice 4 hours to adapt to the bad ones. The good ones mechanically perfect and classically tuned and voiced I just walk up a play, within minutes I'm done. The real greats, like the Steinway Concert D, play themselves, all I have to do is place the emotion into them transforming the instrument into language. Living in a small apartment with lots of neighbors forces me to practice a digital at home, a blessing actually to be able to practice with headphones at 4:00am :). I now have 3 all with different actions which really helps so I am not so shocked when playing the next acoustic stage piano.

Yeah, if I messed it up I wouldn't be able to replace it anytime soon. Thankfully, it turned out ok.
Thanks for sharing!. As a tinkerer, I love this kind of videos. My own experience fixing other keybeds is similar about key grease, they use plenty of it and tends to go everywhere
I inquired with StudioLogic what type of grease they use and they never replied. I actually thought I might need to buy some. I didn't realize there would be plenty of extra to go around.
Wow! Gutsy move, and only 4 hours. I really trust you on keyboard actions, so happy to have you around to test these keyboards for the professional pianists. I have to play whatever stage piano is there, most are excellent, but some are not, I have to adapt to the bad ones. I may have to practice 4 hours to adapt to the bad ones. The good ones mechanically perfect and classically tuned and voiced I just walk up a play, within minutes I'm done. The real greats, like the Steinway Concert D, play themselves, all I have to do is place the emotion into them transforming the instrument into language. Living in a small apartment with lots of neighbors forces me to practice a digital at home, a blessing actually to be able to practice with headphones at 4:00am :). I now have 3 all with different actions which really helps so I am not so shocked when playing the next acoustic stage piano.
Thank you for sharing. Love your music. It's very peaceful.👍
The answer? Get a Roland!
The action is too heavy for my taste
Precisely. You'd have to shoot me to keep me away from the PHA-4. And i tried them all!
@@scarsstitches636 It's great when you find something you like. 👍
@@amitev Too heavy? So you are a keyboard player and not a piano player.
@@WeAreAllDoomed-n5i I am a piano player and yes, it is heavy.
👍
I have this piano. I just would really love to figure out how to record audio directly from the piano onto my device. In order to make high quality piano videos
Very helpful. 🤓🤘
Amen! Beautiful. 👍✝
very beautiful
Thanks
🤗I'm Very Proud To Have A Keyboardist Family🤗
Great playing, thanks for sharing!. Ivory 3 seems to be a good match for that Numa XPIANO GT
Ivory 3 has a nice dynamic range and is very balanced throughout the registers.
thank you for the this video....i myself had issues with the treble when playing the VSL....the synchron is installed in my Mac Mini and never satisfied with the treble sound so i bought an external speakers....it sound much better now....i think the tweeters will not able to replicate the authentic sound of the piano treble....i listened to an acoustic 280VC from KZread and the treble is much lighter and higher on the treble and less heavy on the bass compared to the Imperial
Good speakers can make a big difference. You might also consider good headphones. I prefer open back when I do have to use them for piano.
Hi your VSL Bösendorfer what software and how did you connect to the Bösendorfer VSL and with what speakers in this video please 🙏🏻 inform me. Also are you able to change the weight of the keys on the Roland I thought I saw yes somewhere. I’m getting mine soon as a second Piano 🎹 bit like your needs. Mines same.
Hello. I was using VSL Synchron Piano software and the internal digital audio interface of the Roland. I'm not aware of changing the weight on the PHA 4 action in the Roland.
