Press a button, then scroll through all the Tones in that category by turning the <strong>Dial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Other<\/strong> category has a huge selection of tones: organs, other keyboard instruments, guitars, solo and ensemble brass, all sorts of orchestral instruments, vocal samples and choirs, sound effects, drum kits, and drum machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Synthesizer<\/strong> sounds use the same Roland ZEN-Core Synthesis System from Roland\u2019s professional synthesizers, and there are many parameters you can program and edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>GO:KEYS 3 \/ GO:KEYS 5 Tone List<\/strong> owner\u2019s manual provides charts of all the tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Home<\/strong>. Returns you to the Home Screen on the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Display and Function buttons<\/strong>. In each mode on the display, there are four tabs at the bottom that lead to submenus. Each tab is accessed by one of the four Function buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dial and Navigation<\/strong>. Scroll through different settings on the display screen using the dial. Using the <strong>Enter<\/strong> button, enter a menu, where there are parameters you can select using the left and right buttons. The <strong>Exit<\/strong> button exits a screen or cancels an operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Menu<\/strong>. Select parameters within a tone.

The GO:KEYS can play two tones at once, and you can split the keyboard or layer the sounds. This button toggles between modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microphone<\/strong>. On the GO:KEYS 5, these two buttons turn on the input when you plug in a microphone, and they also engage the microphone effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the GO:KEYS 3, these buttons are labeled differently; they are dedicated to turning on the <strong>Metronome<\/strong> and bringing up the <strong>Bluetooth<\/strong> connection screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arranger functions<\/strong>. This is where you access the chord sequencer, recording, and auto-accompaniment functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Octave and Transpose<\/strong>. Transpose the keyboard in semitones and raise or lower the keyboard by octaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wheel<\/strong>.

When you connect headphones, the built-in speakers automatically shut off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you plug in headphones, turn the volume slider on the front panel all the way down. Then turn the volume up to a moderate level. Don\u2019t play through headphones for a long period of time or at a high volume; you can experience ringing in your ears and even damage your hearing if you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to play for other people or play in a band, the built-in speakers will not be loud enough. In that case, you can connect cables from your GO:KEYS to an external amplifier and speakers or to a mixer with a PA system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"Cables-and-Connections\">Cables and Connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go down the list of the connections and their functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels-1024x438.jpg\" alt=\"Roland GO KEYS back panels\" class=\"wp-image-1781462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels-1024x438.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels-1536x658.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2024\/05\/Roland-GO-KEYS-back-panels.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Roland GO:KEYS 3 and GO:KEYS 5 back panel connections<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>DC in<\/strong>.
