Unlike those, the SC piano is not of the each-note-sampled variety. "The main piano in SonicCell (Rich Grand) is based on the same waveforms as the SRX-11, RD700SX, FP7 and FP4. Question - Roland Sonic Cell piano - MusicPlayer Forums If the players don't push the manufacturers for better instruments, who will?" We are making gradual progress in this area. These things can bug one player and not the next. The advantage of the SC is that you can always upgrade to the full piano via the SRX expansion.Įach-note-sampled is just one of the many issues with digital pianos. After playing the SRX-11 each-note-sampled pianos for several years I really can't go back. Whether it bugs you or not is something you'll have to determine. In fact Roland is the only hardware manufacturer to provide each-not-sampling on their best acoustic and electric piano emulations. Yamaha, Kurzweil, actually everyone does it. To be fair, using the same waveform across multiple notes is a very common technique. The wood sound changes pitch chromatically within the grouping of notes where as it should stay the same "pitch" across the entire instrument. The piano can take on a uniformity/sameness that makes it sound unnatural. A slightly out of tune note will be out of tune across several notes. When played chromatically/scales, if your ear is sensitive to it, you can hear these groupings of the same waveforms (some can stand out more than others). Not sampling each note creates several artifacts. The SC Rich Grand will have the same overall tone as the SRX-11 based pianos, but a trained ear will be able to hear differences. In order to save on ROM space, Roland created the piano using less waveforms and employed a common technique where one waveform is shared among several adjacent notes. The main piano in SonicCell (Rich Grand) is based on the same waveforms as the SRX-11, RD700SX, FP7 and FP4. Did you see this on "Music Player Network?"
