Also wondering how similar this is the DM 520? My husband recently lost his after using it since 2009! He's a blind musician and he loved his DM520

This is an improved version. Better recording quality especially for music. Also has 3 mics to improve versatility. It bought mine refurbished. Works perfectly. Dr Ron.

It's quite similar. The controls are moved a little bit-record, play, and stop are now on the front. I think the built-in microphones might be better. The color's different and the profile of the top is a little different.

I havent used it without the computer so im not sure if it works independently but I know there is a battery port. What number of keys are you thinking about getting? I had a 49 and it definitely was portable on the road but on a plane im not sure depending on what size keys you get. the smaller one is def. A good size. The keys are for sure fun to play with and has great feedback when you play. I would recommend this midi keyboard for the price

I was the one that posted the comparison of sound between the 400 and the 210. The 210 is easily superior in sound. I am quite surprised no one else has brought this up. Doesn't anyone care about good stereo sound quality through their ear plugs?

Somebody has to be kidding. Discontinued or not! The replacement is the M570 (I think it is still available) for about a 10% of that price. I have both and they both work very, very well.

I owned a 510 for a couple months before it accidentally went through the laundry. Loved it. Very clear audio, great volume, very comfortable. Recently decided to buy another, but went with the 520 instead, for something different. Really like the new one, but must admit it is slightly less comfortable (but still comfortable) and audio is slightly lower and lesser quality (but still quite good), based on my experience. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. But if I had to choose between the two again, I'd still choose the 510 over the 520, but just barely. My rating: 510 = 9.5 out of 10 stars 520 = 8.5 out of 10 stars

Yes, it is excellent! Lighted keys only enhance the learning experience. The sound however, is much better with headphones, especially the bass.

Hi Clint, Thanks tons for your insight. I believe I'll look at the DP-03 after considering your comments. Does the DP-03 have a built in drum machine? It's not overly important, just a 'nice to have'.

I would contact the manufacturer. They have amazing customer service. I did some quick research and found compatibility issues with certain configurations. Changing the dsp setting to 32 bit helped solve some issues with asio. From my personal edxperience a dedicated digital converter such as this far outperforms any sound card. Email the manufacturer. If you are serious about the quality of your music this is for you. Seriously brought my system to life.

Having played on both kits (I have both), I prefer the DM6 for right out of the box performance. The SD5x has more on-board voices. however, it requires more in the way of set-up and I think the sound quality of the DM6 is superior. The pads are similar in construction and quality. Adjusting the sound parameters is much simpler on the DM6. ALSO and most important, the bottom line! The SD5X is at least 2x the cost of the DM6 while not offering any real appreciable extra value. I used both the SD5x and the DM6 for teaching drum lessons. I have owned the DM6 for well over a year and my drum students have varying degrees of skill. I have never had a single problem with the DM6 and purchased it at Costco for $199.99. I have had to replace a cymbal on the SD5x.

I have 6 of these and record jazz with them. Here is an example of a piano solo recorded with the H4n. Jeff Barnhart is playing Fats Waller's stride piano composition...Handful of keys. The sound quality is far better than the Tascam DR50 that I used to ownhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dg_gZJpQZU

What Dlrwilliams said seems right. Anyways i lost this and replaced it with an "MRBT200" from Boss. This thing is AMAZING. Pyle unit didn't even go half as loud as this one, i feel like Pyle ripped me off and everyone that buys that other piece. I guess this MRBT200 will actually hit the market for the same price in about a month or two. Right now i have a sample from a friend who got it

i would have to agree with the previous review.i used 510 for a year and i began having some problems with static. this turned out to be a device issue and not a problem with the 510. however, i changed to the 520 thinking it would be an upgrade. the 520 has some issues with static when the paired device moves around, and in general i noticed a drop in the audio quality. i'm selling the 520 and moving back to the 510.

This is one ot he best items for historic tuning and temperaments, The LCD Text needs no light, by itself you can see better, if not try with reading glasses like me, else I couldn't read it too! More on this subject: Have you tuned your keyboard or instrument in A = 428 Hz? It is much better for your voice and health!

Ernesto, The Aug MB100B is at our cottage so I can't check it for you. However, I also bought a Meloson M7 Rechargeable AM/FM DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Radio, MP3 Player & Portable Speaker with Built-in Micro SD/TF Card Reader and it is well worth the extra money. Sound and operation are much better, and it works great with headphones.....you will be glad you paid extra and got a much better Player.

Not sure, however go to DMdrummer.com and search the forum, or better yet, join and ask. Good luck.

Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!

My advice is to avoid this unit if you use Windows. It is 2014, and it still glitches in non-ASIO apps, and toggling ASIO in Ableton toggles the glitches. I am 99% confident it is driver related. I'll be switching to Scarlett for music production in Windows. Not sure about the Roland, but Ive heard a lot of MAC users complain about Maudio driver issues in OSX, but that was years ago.
