Roland RD-88

RD pianos have been a favorite of professional keyboard players for over 30 years and can be seen on stages around the world. Now you can have the renowned RD sound and playability in a lighter, more accessible and affordable instrument.

World-class playability
RD pianos have been trusted by professionals every day on stages around the world for over 30 years. One of the reasons for this is their playability and the sense of connection they experience while playing. They owe this to the solid control and smooth, reliable and natural-feeling mechanics - neither rigid nor too flexible.

Authentic sounds
A great piano needs a sound that is authentic and full of character. The RD-88 draws on its rich history and boasts new SuperNATURAL acoustic and electric pianos, whose sound can be changed from sparkly to earthy with a few controls. And for added versatility, there's a carefully curated collection of acoustic and electronic sounds from our history, using the same sound processor as our best synthesizers.

Refreshing simplicity
Intuitive controls and a friendly layout make it easy to develop a relationship with the RD piano. The RD-88 is no different - it offers everything you need for a confident and expressive performance. The most important elements are clearly labelled and always to hand, so it's easy to find your favourite sounds, add effects or tailor the sound balance to the venue.

Integration with software synthesizers
Sometimes you need a very specific sound or the unique capabilities of a particular synthesizer or sample archive. The RD-88 has three zones that can be configured with internal sounds, and can also integrate and control software synthesizers via Apple MainStage. Live duplicating the sound of a song or mixing your favorite synth tones with the RD-88's palette of sounds is a breeze.

It fits into your life
The RD-88's clean and compact design fits perfectly with your lifestyle. Its lightweight and streamlined design is easy to take with you and quickly put to work, even on small stages and rehearsals in confined spaces. Plus, the immersive built-in speaker system is extremely practical, so you can play without the chaos and hassle.
