			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>I would like to share my setup to play Pianoteq virtual instruments with Roland FP-30X. This probably applies as well to other digital pianos.</p><p>Although Roland FP-30x has a USB sound interface that allows you to play the sound coming from midi-out of the computer software (Pianoteq, etc), I have tested it and the sound is not as realistic as when using headphones so I decided to try out an alternative.</p><p>I happened to have a couple of Presonus Eris 3.5 speakers that are white so they look harmonius in the setup.</p><p>I have put them facing up. The internal speakers of FP-30X face down, so this is a major change. I believe acoustic pianos project sound in all directions, but projecting the sound upwards I think is the main output.</p><p>Covering the wall I have a wooden piece of furniture, initially designed to be at the head of the bed, as a bed headboard. It has double purpose, on one hand it protects the speakers from touching the wall directly and very importantly the act as a wooden soundboard quite effectively.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://musicaljourneynotes.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/roland-fp30x-presonus.jpg" alt="PunBB bbcode test" title="PunBB bbcode test"/></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://musicaljourneynotes.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/roland-fp30x-presonus-2.jpg" alt="PunBB bbcode test" title="PunBB bbcode test"/></span></p><p>Hope it helps more people.</p>]]></content>
