Roland RD88
Premium-Class Keyboard
For over 30 years, professionals have consistently chosen RD pianos for performances on stages worldwide. The primary reason for this is the experience that musicians undergo while playing this instrument. You gain complete control over performance, a reliable keyboard that closely resembles an acoustic piano keyboard, and will never feel either rigid or sticky to you.
Authentic Sounds
A top-notch stage piano should come equipped with authentic sounds. The RD-88 sound collection includes tones from a rich heritage, as well as new SuperNATURAL piano tones and electric piano tones, allowing for quick adjustments using various controls. For even greater versatility, we offer an extensive selection of acoustic and electronic instrument sounds from our vast tone collection, utilizing the same sound engine found in flagship synthesizer models.
Genuine Simplicity
RD pianos are easy to adjust, thanks to intuitive controls and ergonomic knob placement. RD-88 is no exception; this instrument is equipped with everything necessary for confident and expressive performances. The most important controls are clearly marked and always within reach, allowing you to quickly find your preferred sounds, process them with effects, or adjust the tonal balance according to the acoustics of a specific venue.
Integration with Software Synthesizers
Sometimes there's a need to use specific tones or unique features from a software synthesizer or sample library. RD-88 supports three zones that can be assigned with built-in sounds or controlled by software synthesizers through Apple MainStage. This allows for seamlessly duplicating the sound of a live track or mixing software synthesizer sounds with the built-in tones of RD-88.
Maximum Convenience
RD-88 stands out for its simplicity and compact design, aimed at making your life easier. Its lightweight and durability make it easy to transport, allowing you to quickly set up even when working on small stages or in tight rehearsal spaces. Add to that the built-in acoustic system, enabling the use of the instrument without any difficulties.
