"The Roland is terrific and in fact I just met with another musician who is considering purchasing a piano and while the Roland sells itself, I strongly recommended she buy it from your company." - Gregory, CT Hurry, as we have just a handful of these units available!

Roland's RD-series of Stage Pianos are legendary. And when Roland says they are updating the "standard," all of our ears perk up. After all, many of us here have owned RD-keyboards of the past! So in comes the RD700SX. After a long session of auditioning its features, let us talk about what really separates it from the others. Here are the highlights:
A "Superior Grand" piano sound..."Superior Grand," incidentally, is the name of the patch that greets you when you power on the RD-700SX. And it is decidedly "superior." It simply sounds terrific. It responds well, and brightens up as you play at heavier velocities. The 88-Key Progressive Hammer Action keyboard makes it easy to be expressive with this sound, and 128 voices of polyphony helps to make the piano experience even more realistic. Overall, the tone is very satisfying and we think that it will work well in nearly every musical genre.
Easily shape, control, and effect your performance...When it comes to real-time control, many of the available stage pianos out there make it easy to do some things, but difficult, if not impossible, to do other things. The RD-700SX gives you several sliders, on/off buttons, and knobs to make performing with this instrument easy. Here are just a few tasks made easy: turn reverb off or on (1 button push). Adjust the depth of reverb, chorus, AND multi-effects easily with their own knobs. EQ your piano tone (4 individual knobs). Adjust the individual volumes of piano and string sounds in a layer with dedicated faders. Even adjust the volume of MIDI tones you're controlling. Select your favorite piano tone with one button push! While this might all sound somewhat basic, show me another stage piano or keyboard that pays this much attention to real-time control! When you need to make changes in an instant, you'll appreciate the RD.
Sounds, sounds and more sounds...It's hard to call this a digital piano when you see that there are 208 tones built in (including an authentic Tonewheel Organ with simulated drawbars, strings, brass, basses, drums, guitars and more). There's also a complete General MIDI sound engine in there, which adds another 256 sounds. And you can expand the keyboard with even more...the RD-700SX will accept up to two of the popular SRX-series sound expansion boards. Let's just say that there is a very good chance that you'll find exactly the sound you're in need of right inside this sole keyboard. Plus, there are 185 built-in rhythm patterns and 128 arpeggio styles that are great to play and practice to. They say "digital piano," but we say "digital piano/organ/synthesizer."
Connect to your studio, stage, and computer...The RD is ready to connect to all sorts of things. A headphone jack is ready for silent rehearsing; stereo 1/4" AND XLR connectors make it easy to connect audio outputs to nearly anything you need to; and standard MIDI connectors and USB allow for computer connectivity. The USB feature is particularly neat as it enables the RD-700SX to act as a hard drive where you can export Standard MIDI Files to for playback. Need to play back some MIDI files on stage or at worship? Transfer the songs and leave your computer at home. The RD has approximately 1 megabyte of storage space, which we figure should be good enough for 10-20 songs. Handy!
It is very important that we tell you this: while the RD-700SX has a tremendous amount of features (that help to make it more of a Digital Piano-Organ-Synthesizer-MIDI File Player-Controller), the keyboard still operates as easily as, well, a digital piano. Its sounds are superb, and it's one of most versatile instruments available.
