Roland GO:KEYS 5 Graphite

Creativity Begins Here

Learning music doesn't have to be difficult. The GO:KEYS 5 invites every exploration, encouraging your inner creative voice to emerge. The user-friendly, interactive interface encourages discovery and spontaneous musical moments, even if you've never played an instrument before.

Sound Motivation

As many top composers will tell you, playing one note with an inspiring sound is often enough to launch an entire idea. The GO:KEYS 5 contains more than 1,000 sounds from Roland's historic library, which has been motivating top artists in every genre for more than 50 years. Travel through a universe of possibilities with the 61-note keyboard: ranging from acoustic pianos and orchestral instruments to modern synthesizers, guitars, drums and much more.

Melodic Magic

Once you've found a sound that energizes you, experiment by creating melodies and arpeggios against an automatic musical backing. The GO:KEYS 5 is packed with ready-made chord progressions in a variety of styles, all with the immersive sound of a finished studio production like on a record. It's also possible to create your own chord sequences. And you can easily find the chord sequences of your favorite songs online or with dedicated apps.

Mix & Match

While a chord sequence is running, you can discover your own performance style by remixing sounds. Create change with four variations. Turn parts on and off, including the drums, bass and background chords. Swap instruments for a different vibe. And create dynamic energy by editing the entire sound with filtering, lo-fi tones, beat slicing and other striking performance effects.

Lead the Band

After you've mastered chord progressions, you can go one step further, and lead a band of virtual musicians. The GO:KEYS 5 offers a wide selection of dynamic accompaniments, controlled with one or two left hand fingers. Jam melodies and solos with your right hand while the band follows and supports every move. Then weave more sophisticated textures with full left-hand chords as your technique grows.

Use Your Voice

The GO:KEYS 5 also has a microphone input and a large selection of effects to enrich your voice. Sing along with your compositions, complete with studio-style reverb for a polished sound. Magically create real-time harmonies that automatically follow your chords and accompaniment. Or transform your voice with robotic tones that mimic the electronic sounds heard on current pop hits.

Record and Share

At any time, you can instantly record what you're doing with the GO:KEYS 5, and listen to it again. Analyze and refine your ideas. Show off your progress to family and friends. Or share your skills with the world via social media.

Compact Musical Compound

Thanks to its portable, all-in-one design, you can move the GO:KEYS 5 and enjoy music anywhere in your living space. The built-in stereo sound system and passive radiator deliver big sound and powerful bass response, while AA battery support makes setup quick and easy. And if you want to play privately, plug in headphones or earbuds to enjoy the GO:KEYS 5 without disturbing others.

Stream Songs and Create with Music Software

Listening to your favorite music is a great way to get inspired for your next creative session. Play songs from your music library via Bluetooth, USB memory or the analog audio inputs and jam along. Then use the center cancel function to remove the vocals and sing by yourself. The GO:KEYS 5 also supports Bluetooth MIDI and audio/MIDI via USB, opening the door to even more creative possibilities with music apps on a computer or mobile device.
