Comparison
Casio CDP-S160 vs Roland FP-10
Choose by touch and practice workflow before comparing the sound counts. The Casio has a built-in one-song recorder, optional three-pedal support and battery operation. The Roland uses PHA-4 Standard and supports an optional half-damper pedal. Published Casio reviewers disagree about which action they prefer, so the higher price or heavier feel should not decide for you. Try quiet chords, repeated notes and reaches toward the rear of the keys on both instruments. Neither provides USB audio or dedicated line outputs. Both can send MIDI to software, but capturing their own sound requires a separate audio route. Compare current complete-package prices; the dated observations in these reviews are not simultaneous sale offers.
