I never use the onboard speakers anyway,...I hooked it up to my little Mackie freeplay live and it sounded much better then the onboard speakersn....but then I ran it IN STEREO
thru my Big RCF Jmix8 speaker system and OMG it sounded sooooooo goood, Livvvvvvvve as if the band was right behind me ..it's all coming back to me with a bit of help from Fran & Don M....and yes Tootsie rolls came with this unit..just sayin'

OK, so we ride this wave for a bit ... good luck.

What can I say Dave ....
honestly it's a dam good arranger KB that keeps me busy
sounds terrific and is definitely fun to play..
If Roland decides to release a new TOTL arranger kb
I will pre-order sight unseen.
Good luck with your New SX900 use it well.

So....Let me understand this.. By adding the 300 watt sub woofer, you loved the sound

Did you get enough ooomph?


Dave everything I read says bring out the lows of your guitar etc.. Very vague specs. What is the frequency response specs.. I can't find anywhere.
It says 109db (typical low rate).
Is it really designed to compliment a guitar then a true sub?

Sub Gud.
Oh baby.

Hi Lee,
might be worth trying to find out if the styles would suit what you like to play,
or you might be back in the same situation as you were with the Korg.

I’m totally out of touch with styles on rolands , last one I had was va7, which goes back many years.

and then you'll .......... (just sayin?) 😇

LOLOLOL

Maybe with the sub, I might have liked the EA-7 a bit more. It's night and day on the SX ... but it outta be. Remember years ago at one of your parties ... I used my i5S with my Galleon Kruger bass amp as a sub ... totally made it usable and filled the area.

This Fishman sub has an extended low cut filter that widens the Q, and 3 settings - 80hz, 100hz, and 120hz. I prefer 100 in this situation. There's plenty of power, and it's a nice, tight sound. Makes the kb speakers sound 3 times as loud.

I found the specs

30-125 Hz Frequency Response

It kicks butt, and is plenty loud enough for my rooms. It's not just for guitar - they market it for whole band use.
