No, no software... this is a crude, early 'electronic' piano... that is, there are no mechanical parts, just tiny chips. It's extremely easy to use, just plug it in and play.

This piano dates from 1973, and has four sounds: Piano I, Piano II, Harpsicord I, Harpsicord II, and a volume knob. There's a sustain pedal input.
Expressiveness/Sounds
:

Well, it's not very expressive... there's no touch sensitivity. But it does sound vaguely like a piano... Piano I and II are really similar, I is a little softer. The harpiscord sounds are sort of bogus, but could come in handy if you dig the Stranglers' "Golden Brown" kind of sound.

Mmmmm... I don't know. It seems solid, but it's 30 years old and it's the first electronic piano EVER. It might be best to use it for recording and such...

I don't think that Roland would be much help anymore, they've moved on to bigger fish.

This is obviously a very limited instrument, but the thing to do with a keyboard like this (or a Univox, Crumar, etc.) is to f*ck with it.... weird pedals, amp tremelo, chorus, distant miking... I've been able to get some good, ghostly Walkmenesque sounds. Am I the only guy in the world that owns this piano? I can't find anything on the web.
