Perfect Piano

The RD-700GX is anchored by Roland’s finest 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano engine including a brand-new super expressive piano sound, with every note captured using a generous amount of wave capacity. In addition to their super-expressive onboard piano sound-sets, other essential instruments are built into these new pianos, including EPs. You can even customise and save your sounds for instant recall.

Perfect Touch

Your fingers will love the RD-700GX’s top-of-the-line PHA II “Ivory Feel” keyboard with Escapement. This amazing keyboard technology reproduces the real surface feel of ivory acoustic piano keys providing a familiar stability and comfort to the pianist. The keys are designed to absorb moisture, ensuring a secure, slip-proof feel, even in the hottest stage environments where sweaty hands can spell disaster.

SuperNATURAL EP

Another distinguishing feature of the RD-700GX is its electric-piano sound bank derived from Roland’s unique SuperNATURAL technology. Enjoy realism, expression, and control like never before with this special selection of EPs that provide amazingly authentic and organic tonal response.

USB Audio Enhancement

Play audio through the RD-700GX directly from a USB memory key. Flexible file compatibility enables playback of Standard MIDI Files, WAV, AIFF and MP3s. The "Audio Key" feature lets you use the bottom 15 keys for controlling start song, song length, etc. In addition, you can connect directly to a PC via USB and tap into Cakewalk SONAR LE software, included in every RD-700GX package.

Custom Shop

For those who like to get inside an instrument and customize its sounds, the RD-700GX’s Piano Designer feature is your key to unlocking and personalising the sound-set, down to the smallest details such as Hammer Noise, Damper Resonance, Duplex Scale, and more. In the RD-700GX, sounds can be further customized with the 8 channels of powerful onboard multi-effects.

Sound Expansion, Master Control

Expand and personalise the internal sound-set by adding up to two optional Roland SRX expansion boards, then take your music to the stage. The RD-700GX makes a great master controller, thanks to multi-zone functionality and three MIDI outputs.

Roland RD-700GX 88-key stereo keyboard Reviews

Roland RD-700GX

— Daniel June 23, 2009

If you’re looking for a one word review on this product, I could simply say ‘Superb’, and we would be done, but somehow that doesn’t really seem to do this particular item justice. The RD-700GX is the latest in Roland’s Stage Piano range, and it really hits the spot on all levels.

The item arrived well packaged and protected via courier, and I couldn’t wait to play it. The first thing that stuck me was the quality of the keyboard. It feels like a Piano, and reacts like a Piano. Whilst there is some stiff competition in this instrument category, Roland have really made a great keyboard, which has a very similar feel to ivory keys, even down to the colour. Having read previous reviews, which warned not to use cheap headphones or monitors, I connected a pair of Grado Headphones to the unit initially to really get into the sound, where I was not disappointed.

The 3 main Piano sounds are beautifully sampled, and are a real joy to play. There are loads of parameters to play with to customise the PIanos, if that’s your thing, but as a performers tool, this Piano has raised the bar. Some of the other sounds are good too, especially a couple of the Electric Pianos, however, it is worth saying that this is a Stage Piano, and not a synth, so if you are looking for a large variety of high quality sounds, you should probably look elsewhere. This is not to say that the sounds here are not high quality, but to point out that the emphasis is on it being a Stage Piano.

One of the most powerful features is the ability to layer up to 4 layers of sounds and then control the relative mixes in real time using the sliders. This is so intuitive, that in no time at all, I was able to make a new patch, combining a Rock Piano, with one of the new Grand Pianos for the bottom end of the Piano, with a mixture of 2 string sections for the upper half of the piano, allowing me to play the instrumentation for Rose Royce’s supernal 70’s classic – ‘Car Wash’!

There are drawbacks which must be mentioned - Firstly, this item is heavy – so don’t be upset when 26kg of Piano arrives at your front door! Because of the weight it can be something of a challenge to transport, but it really is worth it once you’re setup. There is a smaller version available, which is the RD-300GX, and it weighs a lot less, but you miss out on some of the features and sounds of the larger model.

All in all I can highly recommend this product, if you are looking for something to faithfully replicate a Piano on stage, and are happy to deal with the weight.
