NAMM 2010 Preview: Roland RP-201 Digital Piano

Affordable elegance the new RP-201 digital piano brings Rolands superb piano sound and hammer-action keyboard into a compact, classy, and affordable instrument. The gorgeous, grand sound is made all the more realistic by resonance-behaviour modelling for string, damper, and key-off. A variety of skill-building features are onboard this digital piano, including metronome, recorder, and Twin Piano mode for side-by-side teacher/student sessions. The friendly panel features dedicated buttons for ease of use and fast navigation, while the instruments low power consumption makes it more environmentally friendly without sacrificing output level. Two beautiful cabinet finishes, Satin Black and Rosewood, are offered.
Gorgeous Grand Piano
The RP201 is based on Rolands acclaimed 88-key stereo multi-sampling,
in which the distinctive acoustic properties of each grand-piano key
have been faithfully captured. Together with its 128 polyphonic voices,
the RP201s piano engine performs like a true grand. No matter how fast
you play or how much sustain pedal you apply, you neednt worry about
note drop-outs.
Resonance Modelling
Resonance-behaviour modelling for string, damper, and key-off makes the
RP201 all the more natural and realistic. Your pedal positions are
detected smoothly, letting you constantly vary the tone by changing
pedal depth just like an acoustic grand piano.
Progressive Hammer Action
With its Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard (PHA alpha II), the RP201
has a natural key touch that reproduces the feel and response of an
acoustic grand piano. Lower keys are more heavily weighted; as you move
up the keyboard, the key weight becomes progressively lighter.
Skill Builders
Onboard the RP201 are useful features for improving your piano skills.
The Twin Piano mode splits the keyboard into two identical zones,
letting two people sit side by side and play in the same range great
for student/teacher sessions. The onboard metronome and recorder are
also great tools for practice.
Friendly to Use, Friendly for the Environment
With the RP201, nothing gets in the way of creativity. The dedicated,
easy-to-access front-panel buttons and music holder enhance ease of
use. The low power consumption of the instrument is environmentally
friendly without sacrificing output level.
