RP Series

Roland’s RP series of digital pianos brings professional performance at an attractive price. The compact design makes this piano series ideal for bedrooms or flats where space is at a premium. The integrated music stand and retractable lid allow the RP501R to become even more compact, whilst still looking smart. The RP series focuses on easy playability ideal for developing students who want to excel as a musician. The three pedal system, ivory feel keys and wooden construction gives an authentic acoustic piano look, touch and sound. For musicians who require a compact digital piano to take them to the next level, the RP series is an ideal choice.

SuperNATURAL Sound Engine

SuperNATURAL Piano technology powers the onboard grand piano sounds, delivering a world-class performance. The RP501R reacts seamlessly with your touch for a responsive and realistic performance. The intuitive Piano Designer feature makes it easy for you to personalise the RP501R's tone and response to suit your taste. Parameters such as hammer noise, cabinet resonance and even single note character are all able to be edited for your specific requirements, giving each musician their own signature sound.

Connectivity

Despite having the sound and feel of a traditional piano, the RP501R takes advantage of modern features to make it more accessible than ever. The integrated Bluetooth can be used to stream music from your phone or tablet, so you can play along to your favourite tracks. The USB memory slot can store your recorded performances as either a WAV or MP3 file. As well as this, your music production software can be connected via USB, making the RP501R a functional controller. Thanks to the Bluetooth/MIDI technology owners can use the Piano Partner 2 app. This free app follows the chords as you play and adds a full ensemble orchestra for an impressive performance. This technology can also be used for sheet music page turning and the piaScore apps.
