A premium piano experience for every player





While some keyboards present a steep learning curve, the beauty of the GO:KEYS is that using it is only as complicated as you need it to be. At first glance, its layout might seem rather utilitarian. But in reality, the GO:KEYS 3 is a powerful instrument capable of accommodating players at every stage of their career. Keep things simple by improvising over preset chord progressions, or connect the GO:KEYS 3 to production software like ZenBeats for maximum creative freedom. Regardless of your level of expertise, the GO:KEYS 3 sports everything you need to express yourself ? and more.





Lightweight build for top-tier portability





Weighing in at under 10 pounds, the Roland GO:KEYS is one of the lightest portable keyboards you’ll come across. But don’t let its size mislead you! The GO:KEYS is replete with high-end compositional features that meet your modern needs. A handy auto-accompaniment feature follows the chords you play to help you create original backing tracks, and a user-friendly chord sequencer offers preset progressions for times you’d rather focus on melodic lines. A simple Song function enables you to record those chords and melodies with the click of button ? a feature composers at Sweetwater can’t get enough of.





A world of instruments powered by ZEN-Core





The GO:KEYS 3 features the expandable ZEN-Core sound engine, the same cutting-edge sound generator that drives professional Roland synths like the FANTOM and JUPITER-X. Call up iconic Roland synthesizer sounds, orchestral voices, guitars and basses, drums and percussion, exotic world sounds, and many others. Using the GO:KEYS 3’s streamlined controls, you can freely layer piano and ZEN-Core tones, assign specific sounds to the left and right hands, and much more. Whatever the instrument, each note can be shaped to respond to your touch and dynamics with the tone and harmonic accuracy you desire.
