New Flagship RD Series Digital Piano from Roland

The Roland RD-700NX Digital Piano sets a new RD-series milestone, delivering Roland's superb superNATURAL piano sound and its PHA III keyboard action. The RD700NX raises the bar to entirely a new level for onstage performance, featuring incredible sound quality, touch, and control. The Roland RD-700NX is the flagship RD-series digital stage piano and boasts an advanced SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, electric piano sounds based on SuperNATURAL technology, a deluxe PHA III Ivory Feel keyboard with escapement, a unique Sound Focus feature, and a newly-improved user interface with a large, high-resolution LCD. Whether your performances focus strictly on piano or a world of sound via master MIDI control, the RD-700NX is a complete instrument for the stage.

E. Piano
For EP, or electric piano lovers, the Roland RD-700NX contains a SuperNATURAL-based electric piano that meticulously models vintage electric pianos from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Beyond standard EP modelling, SuperNATURAL technology enables completely new types of EP sounds to be created. You can change the position of the virtual pickups, for example, or exchange components of the sound generating system entirely.

PHA III keyboard
The superb PHA III keyboard with escapement, as featured on V-Piano, is incorporated within the RD-700NX and offers maximum comfort, playability, and response. PHA III improves key repetition and perfectly conveys dynamic, velocity-based tonal changes. The escapement mechanism recreates the authentic “click feel” of a grand-piano keyboard, which particularly enhances expression when playing pianissimo. The keyboard also features Roland’s acclaimed Ivory Feel, a comfortable and realistic moisture-absorbent material that prevents slipping from perspiration during performance. The authentic colouration of grand-piano keys can also been seen on the sides of the white keys.

Sound Focus
The innovative Sound Focus feature ensures that every note will be heard, even subtle pianissimo passages. Based on SuperNATURAL phase-correction technology, this essential feature ensures the RD-700NX won’t get lost in the mix, penetrating through walls of sound without compressing or colouring the tone. Players can relax and play naturally, achieving presence onstage without sacrificing dynamics and sound quality.

One-Touch access
The popular One Touch Piano feature from previous RD-series pianos has been enhanced in the RD-700NX. It provides instant access to standard piano sounds and setups with the touch of a button. Three types of acoustic pianos and three types of electric pianos are now available for instant One Touch recall.

Sight & sound
Along with the gorgeous grand and electric pianos, hundreds of additional sounds are built into the RD-700NX. For example, you get 242 tones, 10 Tone Wheel (Modelled) organs, 256 GM2 tones, 5 rhythm sets, and 9 GM2 rhythm sets in all. Sifting through the sound library is fast and convenient with the new, high-resolution LCD, which provides clearer visibility and a beautiful graphical user interface.
