Roland RD-2000 EX Digital Stage Piano

Full Description

Unmatched sound versatility

The RD-2000 EX features dual sound engines, giving you a vast array of sounds at your fingertips. With the inclusion of SuperNATURAL and V-Piano technologies, you get both the nuanced response of an acoustic piano and the rich, versatile tones of iconic electric pianos. This combination ensures that you have the right sound for any performance scenario. Whether you're playing jazz, pop, classical, or electronic music, the RD-2000 EX delivers with precision and depth.

Premium V-Piano expression

The V-Piano engine in the RD-2000 EX offers a highly detailed and expressive playing experience. Unlike traditional sample-based systems, the V-Piano uses advanced modeling to recreate the complex interactions of acoustic piano strings and hammers. This results in a more natural response and unlimited polyphony. The onboard Piano Designer tools allow you to fine-tune your sound, adjusting individual note tunings and tonal characteristics to create your perfect piano voice. This level of customization ensures that your instrument sounds uniquely yours.

Comprehensive sound library

With over 1100 SuperNATURAL-driven sounds, the RD-2000 EX is equipped for any musical style. It includes everything from classic electric pianos and clavs to orchestral strings and brass. The Virtual ToneWheel organs, complete with rotary effects and authentic drawbar controls, provide rich, textured sounds for organ enthusiasts. The RD-2000 EX also supports sound expansions via the Roland Axial website, allowing you to load additional sound libraries and keep your performances fresh and exciting.

Advanced performance control

Designed for the stage, the RD-2000 EX offers extensive controller features that put you in command of your entire setup. The panel is equipped with numerous knobs and sliders, providing quick, hands-on access to sound parameters. LED indicators offer clear, real-time feedback. The eight assignable zones enable you to layer sounds or split the keyboard for complex arrangements. With the Scene function, you can save and recall up to 100 snapshots of your settings, ensuring seamless transitions during your performance. This level of control makes the RD-2000 EX an indispensable tool for live musicians.

Seamless integration and connectivity

The RD-2000 EX includes a USB audio/MIDI interface, facilitating smooth integration with your digital audio workstation (DAW) or virtual instruments. It supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz, ensuring top-quality sound in any setup. Traditional MIDI jacks are also available for connecting to your favourite hardware synths. The versatile I/O options include balanced XLR and ¼-inch outputs, an assignable sub output, and multiple pedal inputs. This flexibility ensures the RD-2000 EX can adapt to any performance environment, from small gigs to large stages.

Exceptional playability

The PHA-50 keyboard on the RD-2000 EX combines the best of both worlds: the authentic feel of a wooden keyboard and the durability of moulded materials. Its progressive hammer action, escapement, and advanced sensor detection provide an expressive and responsive playing experience that rivals high-end grand pianos. This makes the RD-2000 EX not only a pleasure to play but also a reliable instrument that will stand up to the demands of professional use. The included DP-10 damper pedal and optional RPU-3 pedal unit further enhance its performance capabilities.
