The sound of the RP201 was created by painstakingly sampling world-class grand pianos, key by key, resulting in a
stunning 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano engine. Its keyboard responds to the subtlest pressure and nuance — from
the deepest, most powerful bass to the most delicate high notes.
The RP201 is equipped with Roland’s PHA alpha II (Progressive Hammer Action alpha II), a true hammer action keyboard
with excellent response and sensitivity. As you play from the low end of the keyboard to the high end, you’ll feel a subtle
change in resistance, just as you would on an acoustic piano.
•128-voice polyphony for unlimited musical expression •Damper Resonance replicates the "free vibration" sound in the
strings with the damper pedal pressed, like an acoustic piano •String Resonance accurately replicates the same sympathetic
string vibration as on an acoustic piano when a key is pressed with other keys already depressed •Key Off Resonance
replicates the delicate sound of the damper touching the strings upon key release, as well as other subtle changes in
sound when the pedal is gradually depressed or released
•A display and convenient buttons allow easy access to features •Helpful learning features such as built-in Metronome
and Recorder make practicing more fun • Twin Piano mode splits the keyboard into two zones, allowing two people on
headphones to play independently without hearing each other •A variety of 65 classical and jazz pieces are built into the
RP201 for your enjoyment and study • You can practice the right-hand part and left-hand part separately • Over 300
onboard tones let you expand your musical expression •Sturdy Music Rest with Music Holders helps you manage your
music scores and books •Lowered power consumption saves energy without sacrificing powerful sound output
