I've been producing electronic music for 25 years and, although I've written a lot of my music on the piano, I never truly learned to play or sight read. I've had keyboards that cost upward of $2,000, but had sold the last one off long ago.When I started looking for keyboards, I didn't necessarily need something for my music production, this was purely to learn to play piano, but I did want to ensure I would have the option. Because of that, I wanted to find one with semi-weighted or fully weighted keys, I wanted it to be full size, have the option for pedals, and have as many types of outputs as possible, namely MIDI. While I didn't necessarily set out looking for one that didn't need external speakers, I was happy to see that this one would come with a set built-in.I started looking on Amazon and quickly rolled past the high-end options I had before, mainly because while those were great synthesizers, I wasn't looking for that this time. I wanted this thing to play and sound like a piano and I didn't need anything else. I found the RockJam digital piano and it seemed to fit the bill.The keys were semi-weighted, standard size, there were 88 of them, and they had a sufficient number of touch levels. There seemed to be enough voices, meaning I could press as many keys as I wanted to and it still work. While I listened to the promotional video, I also listened to customer videos to try and understand whether I would be happy with the tone and quality of the sound. While that's never a great way to gauge, I was happy enough with what I heard. It seemed realistic enough.It had a MIDI out, so I could connect it to either my other hardware or PC to use as a controller or record the notes and velocities for what I was playing. It had auxiliary inputs and outputs, a headphone jack, and could use two stand-alone pedals and/or a three-pedal unit. Although I wasn't looking for portability, it was able to use batteries if so needed.After reading about the company on the Amazon page, I went over to their website and read a little more. I had been impressed with the number of features, but was concerned it meant that while plenty, they would be low quality. The website and listing comforted me in that, though. They state to be passionate about music, have a strong background in it, like to see people learn and enjoy it, and want to delivery quality products.I'm happy to report that, after getting the keyboard, I completely buy the company line. This is a quality keyboard by any measure. The pedals I purchased, also made by the company, work great with it and come as close as you can get to using pedals with a standard piano. And, while I can't really quantify this, it feels great to play. I especially like the feel of the ebony keys (not real ebony of course, but they still feel nice and are a different texture than the others).The speakers, while not something you'd perform with, are perfectly acceptable for daily playing. They're a bit low on bass, but have a good clarity and certainly get loud enough. I've connected a subwoofer through the auxiliary out and it pairs really nicely. The auxiliary features are perfectly fine for anyone outside a studio, but just a note for those using it in that sort of setting: The auxiliary out volume is controlled by the main volume knob but, although the main speakers can be set to 0, the out never reaches true zero - there will be a very low signal output at 0 volume.Beyond the sound of the speakers, you of course have the sound it produces. I've noticed a lot of back-and-forth in the reviews over whether this truly sounds like a piano. Let me first say this: If you use the Grand Piano voice, turn on the reverb, and use pedals, this will sound like a true piano to the untrained ear. I can recreate realistic piano using my music production software via soundfounts, a lot of tedious arrangement of velocities, and a myriad of effects, but I get the same, if not better, quality of sound from this. The church organ seems to work the way you would expect, and sounds just like you'd expect, but I haven't used that terribly much. The other sounds are, honestly, lacking. Don't buy this for those.I'm not going to bother going through all the features, they're in the listing, but I will just note that the abilities to play music from a USB thumb drive and set the key and music volume separately create a really fun way to play along with your favorite songs. I'll also say that the level of control over the keyboard via its built-in configuration is exactly what you'd expect from any product like this, professional or not. The free stuff they include is amazing. Oh, and the software works for Android - not sure what problem the other reviewers had.I couldn't be happier with this purchase. It's way more than I expected for the price I was willing to invest and it gave me exactly what I wanted. I've been practing and playing daily and my family can sit around and listen. While they didn't enjoy it as much at first, I have a regular audience through the week now. The general comment from friends and family is, "Wow, that sounds just like a piano."I would recommend this quickly and readily if you want to learn to play piano or miss playing one. I think it's about as close as you can get at this price point. I've enjoyed it immensely.
