Expressive Sound, Natural Feel

The HPi-6 offers an impressive lineup of performance features: Gorgeous stereo piano samples, 128-voice polyphony, and a Progressive Hammer Action Keyboard that simulates a real piano feel, with a heavier touch in lower octaves and a lighter in upper register. The Piano Resonance feature causes subtle sound variations when lifting fingers from keys, striking chords, and pressing the damper pedal.

DigiScore

With a colour flat-screen display built into the music rest, players and students can enjoy interactive instruction and notation display onscreen. Roland’s famous DigiScore provides a variety of songs, both pre-installed and loadable from USB memory. (The song that you just played can be shown on the DigiScore display too!) Just touch a button and the internal music starts playing on the screen, which displays the score in an easy-to-follow format — complete with an onscreen bouncing ball that bounces across the notes as they are played. The music comes alive right before your eyes.

DoReMi & Wonderland

Also built into the HPi-6 is the DoReMi Course, which teaches the fundamentals of pitch, rhythm, note reading, fingering, and the "thumb under" technique. Wonderland is included as well — offering a fun, friendly graphical approach to teaching children about sound and rhythm.

Two Pianos in One

With the Twin Piano function (HPi-6) you can split the keyboard so two players can play simultaneously in the same register. It’s an innovative, entertaining way for a teacher and student, parent and child, or a pair of friends to practice and perform together.
