Mnoho let jsem čekal a nakonec pořídil. Láska na první dotek - zkoušel jsem dříve menší, 4X model - a ten mne vůbec nenadchnul, s reálným hraním na akordeon se to nedalo srovnat. Ovšem tento, nejvyšší sehnatelný model (ano, protože teď jsou zdarma na Rolandu ke stažení i expansions, které byly dříve u Dalapé verze) je top. Stačí nastavit odpor měchu, jinak je hra dost obtížná a už to jede. Ihned jsem vyprodukoval a nahrál několik skladeb, možnost zahát si na francouzskou nebo italskou harmoniku je k nezaplacení. Bradové snímače fungují super, dlaňový je dokonalý a přepínaní je naprosto plynulé. Úlet jsou dynamické basové čudlíky - chce si to zvyknout, ze začátku různá hlasitost, v orchestrálním módu je pak bod bubnem při silním stisku činel, atd. Hmotnost je vyšší, odpovídá Welmaister Cantus 4, který nornálně hraji. Zpracování top, italská kvalita. A hlavně - integrovaný recorder na USB flash disk - nemá chybu. Přes MIDI jsem ještě nepřipojil - kvůli MIDI jsem mimochodem hlavně pořizoval - protože již více jak týden každý den hraji a jen hraji na nástroje uvitř - taková trubka nebo trombón ovládané měchem - nádhera.

I waited for many years and finally bought it. Love at first touch - I had previously tried the smaller, 4X model - and it didn't excite me at all, it couldn't be compared to real accordion playing. However, this, the highest model available (yes, because now Roland also offers free downloads of the expansions that were previously available for the Dalapé version) is top notch. You just need to set the resistance of the bellows, otherwise the game is quite difficult and it's ready to go. I immediately produced and recorded several songs, the ability to start playing the French or Italian accordion is priceless. The chin pickups work great, the palm pickup is perfect and the switching is absolutely smooth. The dynamic bass pickups are a letdown - it takes some getting used to, different volume at first, in orchestral mode the point is a drum when you press the cymbals hard, etc. The weight is higher, it matches the Welmaister Cantus 4, which I normally play. Top workmanship, Italian quality. And most importantly - the integrated recorder on a USB flash drive - is flawless. I haven't connected it via MIDI yet - by the way, I mainly bought it for MIDI - because I've been playing every day for more than a week and only playing instruments inside - such as a trumpet or trombone controlled by bellows - wonderful.

Velmi zajímavý nástroj, dokáže neuvěřitelné věci. Hned se ze mě stal houslista, basista, trumpetista nebo saxofonista, můžu si vybrat nástroj dle libosti a k tomu si můžu přidat bicí. Prostě paráda.
