Roland GO:KEYS - Jam Along with Your Favourite Music

A series of performance pads allow you to manipulate your songs by adjusting pitch, using filters and more.

Bluetooth Streaming

Another really great feature that sets this 61 key keyboard apart from the rest is its Bluetooth connectivity.

Simply connect your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth device to the Roland GO:KEYS keyboard, choose a song and play along!

When you’re ready to move on to more advanced music production you can use GO:KEYS  for MIDI recording with some great apps such as GarageBand and others.

What’s more; the speaker quality and power on the GO:KEYS far surpasses those found in most Bluetooth speakers so you can use it as a great way to just enjoy some of your favourite songs wirelessly.

Pro-Quality Keyboard Sounds

GO:KEYS has been designed to be immediately accessible to newcomers but provide professional quality sounds that players of all levels will enjoy and appreciate.

Over 500 ready-to-play sounds are built-in, derived from Roland’s acclaimed pro synthesizers.

Category buttons make it easy to navigate to the sounds you want, sorting them by pianos, synths, strings brass and many other types.

Play Where You Want, When You Want

Thanks to the compact, lightweight design and powerful built-in speakers, you can take GO:KEYS with you and enjoy performing and listening to music pretty much anywhere.

Of course, you can plug GO:KEYS into the mains with the included AC adaptor which is great when you want to play in your room or around the house.

When you want to go out on the road you can just put in six AA batteries and take it wherever you want – perfect for playing in the garden, at BBQs and on camping trips.
