Roland MKS-10 Planet-P
Mono timbral instument with 8 patches – piano 1 & 2, clavi 1 & 2, harpsichord 1 & 2, e.piano 1 & 2 with more variations of these basic sounds available using MIDI patch changes. An effects section provides simultanious chorus/flanger and tremolo.
The basic front panel controls are:
- tune, volume & brilliance
- chorus or flange toggle with rate & depth controls.
- square or sine tremelo mod toggle with rate & depth controls.
- 8 patch select buttons.
- MIDI channel up & down buttons with LED display.
The back panel features Mono/Stereo out and MIDI In & Thru only.
If you are looking for realistic piano sounds then this is not the unit for you. However, all the sounds are very playable, particularly the tremelo’d Electric Pianos (if thats your cup of tea). This unit was very quickly superceded by the sample-based MKS20.
