The integration with the Amazon’s voice assistant is designed to let you control your keyboard’s settings while playing.
It may feel like voice assistants are being built in to everything these days, but so far musical instruments have been somewhat overlooked by companies seeking to make traditional ‘dumb’ devices smart.
It looks like all that is about to change, as keyboard manufacturer Roland has announced that its new GO:PIANO will have Amazon Alexa built in, at CES 2019 in Las Vegas.
The inclusion of the smart voice assistant means that you will be able to change the keyboard’s sound and settings without ever taking your hands off the keys, via a new Roland Alexa skill.
