Perfect sound and touch ... get addicted to piano playing with the RP301!
Tone, resonance, and expressiveness just like a grand piano
RP301
With Roland’s breakthrough SuperNATURAL Piano technology, the RP301 accurately recreates the subtle
differences of tone and resonance for each key. It also provides seamless tonal variation based on the strength
of your touch, as well as smooth, natural tonal decay. It’s an incredibly expressive and authentic sound that
blurs the line between digital and acoustic worlds.
The RP301 is outfitted with Roland’s Ivory Feel-G keyboard that features Progressive Hammer Action with escapement, plus advanced sensors. Subtle
differences in the player’s touch are reflected in the authentic tone of the internal SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine. The Ivory Feel-G keyboard’s white
key tops are made of a material that replicates the unique appearance and texture of real ivory keys, with a realistic moisture-absorbing key feel. In addition,
its damper and soft pedals continuously detect the positions at which they are depressed, thus supporting a full and natural range of pedal expression.
The RP301’s simple, clean, and uncluttered control panel lets you concentrate
on piano playing without distraction. The onboard metronome and recorder make
piano lessons more efficient; the internal song library includes classic etudes
such as Czerny 100 and Hanon (1—20) in addition to a variety of masterpieces,
convenient for daily practicing. The “Twin Piano” function lets you split the
keyboard left and right into two regions, each with its own middle “C” and
damper pedal –a great application for “partner” lessons or piano labs.
The RP301 consumes a low amount of power (12 W under average use*)
without spoiling its powerful sound. To further conserve energy, the power
can be programmed to automatically switch off after a specified duration of
non-activity.
*The figure was measured using Roland’s own technical standard. The actual figure may vary depending on
the position of volume knob and characteristics of the performance.
