Performance Powerhouse
The RD-2000 is a dream come true for the performing keyboardist. It features dual sound engines that power our best acoustic and electric pianos ever, plus the finest action we’ve ever put in a stage piano. There’s a massive selection of top-quality ensemble sounds to cover any musical task, as well as two wave expansion slots for adding even more sounds. And with its innovative modern interface, the RD-2000 is the perfect master controller for working with today’s software-based instruments on stage.
Unlimited Expression with V-Piano Modeling Technology
The RD-2000 brings you magnificent acoustic pianos powered by Roland’s evolving V-Piano technology. Our proprietary modeling approach realizes the complex sound and interactive feel of an acoustic piano down to the finest details, backed by a speedy engine DSP that eliminates the tonal limitations, memory issues, and polyphony roadblocks of purely sample-based systems. Every note is incredibly rich, natural, and responsive, while full-keyboard polyphony lets you play and create without compromise. And with a range of intuitive tools, you can customize deep parameters to shape your perfect piano voice—or craft instruments never heard before.
Historic Electric Pianos
The RD-2000’s dedicated SuperNATURAL sound engine puts an impressive selection of classic electric pianos at your fingertips. Create using the authentic sounds of go-to icons from the ’60s and ’70s. Or explore spot-on recreations of the RD-1000—the very first RD stage piano—and MKS-20 sound module, whose unique musical voices are instantly recognizable from 1980s hits and beyond. Vintage effects are also on hand to bring classic color to EPs, including the famous BOSS CE-1 Chorus and Roland SDD-320 Dimension D.
Ensemble Sounds for Every Genre
Along with its world-class acoustic and electric pianos, the RD-2000 includes over 1100 premium sounds for covering any style of music with just one keyboard. The versatile SuperNATURAL engine delivers signature Roland expression for everything from Virtual Tone Wheel organs, modern and vintage synths, and other keyboard instruments to orchestral strings and brass, world instruments, and more.
Superb Playability
The PHA-50 progressive hammer-action keyboard with escapement is the ideal platform for playing the RD-2000’s responsive acoustic and electric pianos. This innovative keyboard features hybrid keys constructed of wood and molded materials, combining classic feel with rugged durability. Together with Roland’s advanced sensor mechanism and hammer-action design, the PHA-50 delivers authentic grand piano touch that’s right at home under your fingers.
