Roland RD-88 EX 88-Key Stage Piano with PHA-4 Hammer Action

The Roland RD-88 EX is a professional-grade stage piano designed for musicians who require both authentic piano feel and extensive sound versatility in a portable format. It combines Roland's acclaimed technologies in a streamlined instrument suitable for live performances, studio work, and practice sessions. The piano features an 88-note PHA-4 hammer-action keyboard with weighted keys and escapement, providing an authentic grand piano touch. Sound generation comes from two powerful engines: SuperNATURAL technology delivers expressive acoustic and electric pianos, while the ZEN-Core engine provides access to over 3000 additional sounds including organs, synths, strings, and brass from Roland's historic library. The instrument includes 400 scene memories for storing complete setups, three zones for creating layers and splits, and comprehensive effects including reverb, chorus, and delay. Built for the working musician, the RD-88 EX includes practical features like a built-in stereo speaker system with two 4.72-inch full-range speakers and two 0.78-inch tweeters powered by 6W amplifiers. Connectivity is extensive with USB audio/MIDI interface for computer integration, dedicated control profile for Apple MainStage, audio inputs for microphones and line sources, and multiple pedal inputs. The compact design and relatively light weight make it easily transportable for gigs while maintaining professional performance capabilities.
