I own this keyboard and use it for church services each Sunday. We have it hooked up to the main amplifier @ church (approx 900 watts); and it's really quite an improvement over our older non-digital instrument. I use it with a Roland Pk-7 pedalboard. The sounds are amazing--both the organ stops & the orchestral solo instuments. It would have been nice if Roland included the ability to change the tempo @ playback, like Roland did on their digital pianos. Otherwise, very happy w/ the C-200.

è inguardabile st'organo

[Engineer9736]

Does anyone know what piece he's playing at 6:20?

[Fervorum]

@Engineer9736 Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Scene, Part 1

[specirt]

I hesitate between buying this instrument or the Cantorum VI which one has the best organ song ? can anyone answer me please ?

[ATLKapellmeister]

Don't like this instrument. It's TOO much "stuff" in a Organ. I don't like the samples.

[lemespbraganca]

Sou organista e regente de coral. Adquiri um orgão roland c-200 no mês de setembro de 2011. Estou muito satisfeito.

[richardus1985]

Can anyone give me some insight of this organ?

I was thinking of selling my piano and buying this baby but the stores near my home don't have it on their shelves.

Thanks in advance.

[resultant64]

The organ sounds are good but could have been better not quite like the Rodgers lower series..Its a bit mixed up..

Roland does not make a 30 note pedalboard.. which do you recommend?

[98Principal]

What is the 8th, 9th and 10th ( with the solotrumpet) piece?

[Fervorum]

@98Principal The last one: Händels Alla Hornpipe (watch?v=3Nvg8eQnjPs).

[hunterellison]

I heard nothing about indsependence of voices.  The sound was very tinny, the string souncs were awful! What about controlling the 16' sound. Can one tsurn it off? Does it cut off, say, at middle c?

[bobfrode]

At first view i thought this instrument looked lame, but wow..i have to get a new pair of socks :)

A truly impressive instrument and player

[felipepesu]

Excelent instrument , but even better Hector !!!

[AtelierUS]

No problem. I know because I was present at the video shoot.

I was first confused by your assertion that there was a harpsichord sound because, on a quality sound system, there is nothing between 10:28 and 10:31 that resembles a harpsichord.

I now realize that, on small computer speakers, the sharp mixtures and reeds used in the pedal passage at that point may sound somewhat percussive.

This would also explain why you didn't see the notes being played, as they were played on the pedals.

[spielor0815]

@AtelierUS

I only hear music with my Beyerdynamic T1 headphone. And it never fooled me :-)

I could swear, I can hear a harpsichord in the beginning of the song at 10:18 in the left hand...

And between 10:28-10:31 it is off without a program change.

I can't wait to play it by myself and see how the instrument works.

[AtelierUS]

I'm not sure what you're hearing at 10:28, but I can assure you that this performance is 100% "live and realtime".

There was no sequencing, over-dubbing, or any other kind of "cheating".

[spielor0815]

@AtelierUS

Thank you so much for your answer. If I may dare to ask: how do you know? I want to know, because I am very interested in the C-200 and C-230. But it takes a while till I can play them in store here in germany.

What irritates me also is from 10:28 to 10:31. In 3 seconds the sounds (left hand) changes from harpsichord to organ without harpsichord. But I have seen no program change.

[spielor0815]

At 10:28 I hear a trill (harpsichord sound in lefthand layer), but I don't see it being played.

Cheating????

Is it really all live and realtime?

I hope someone answers...

Thanky you!
