Amazing Features
SuperNATURAL magicThe RD-88 EX comes loaded with rich, characterful pianos powered by the acclaimed SuperNATURAL technology. Multiple expressive grand pianos are at reach, including the recently developed SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion. Classic EPs are also on hand, with stunningly accurate recreations of vintage icons from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.
ZEN-Core versatilityThe RD-88 EX also includes over 3000 non-piano sounds, so you can handle all types of gigs with just one keyboard. Tap into organs, synths, strings, brass, world sounds, and more from the historic Roland library, fueled by the same ZEN-Core engine found in our flagship synthesizers.
Smooth workflowWith the efficient RD panel layout, you can quickly call up sound categories, save setups in Scenes, and jump to your main piano voice with a single touch. Multi-function controls provide hands-on access to volume levels and many other parameters. A large effect selection is also available, ready to enhance sounds with everything from basic studio color to intense over-the-top processing.
Creative zonesThe RD-88 EX features three zones for creating layers and splits with internal or external sounds—or both together. With the built-in USB audio/MIDI interface and dedicated control profile for Apple MainStage, it’s easy to weave virtual instruments and studio tracks into your stage performances.
Magnificent touchThe RD-88 EX provides supreme playability honed with five decades of Roland piano development. The PHA-4 88-note keyboard features weighted hammer action and Ivory Feel keys for an authentic grand feel, realized with an innovative design that reduces the instrument’s weight without compromising the feel or performance.
Grab and goWith its light and rugged build, the RD-88 EX is easy to carry wherever you want to play. Built-in stereo speakers project rich, room-filling sound, eliminating the need for an external amplifier for home practice, rehearsals, and performances in small venues.
