An Arranger Keyboard with World-class Piano Sounds!

Here's a keyboard that has it all - great sounds, fresh musical accompaniment styles, USB computer connectivity, and flash memory to store songs and styles! The Roland EXR-5s includes features drawn from the higher-end EXR-7 to provide a playing experience and value that can't be beat.

  • Roland's best piano sound, plus hundreds of additional instruments
  • Piano mode chord recognition and user program storage from EXR-7
  • 164 music styles created by pro musicians
  • Flash memory and USB-ready

Keyboard with features found on more expensive units
The Roland EXR-5s arranger keyboard uses a powerful 64-voice sound engine filled with a variety of sounds sure to satisfy the most demanding player. The 510 onboard tones use high-quality waveforms from Roland's acclaimed sound library to achieve a realism not yet found in this price range. These include beautiful stereo-sampled Piano tones drawn from the legendary RD-Series stage pianos. The EXR-5s sound is further enhanced by a superior speaker system with cutting-edge DSP technology (called Digital Bass Enhancer) for powerful, clean sound.

Piano mode chord recognition and user program storage from EXR-7
The EXR-5s includes features previously only available on more expensive Roland arranger keyboards. The Piano Mode Chord Recognition feature recognizes chords in the full 61-key range, eliminating the need to adapt your playing style to a split keyboard, freeing your left and right hand to play naturally for piano type performance across the EXR-5s keys, with accompaniment. In addition, the EXR-5s provides 100 user program locations for storing favorite settings, including tones, styles and tempo. Any of the 100 user programs can be quickly and easily accessed from the front panel.

With the built-in USB port, you can quickly exchange song and style data between the EXR-5s internal Flash memory and your PC. It's easy - just connect, drag, and drop! The USB connection also gives you the possibility to interface with various computer software programs. Plus, the EXR-5s USB port also provides a convenient MIDI connection between the keyboard and your computer.

One of the best in the price range

I am an intermidiate player and was looking for a nice keyboard. My main decision making point was the build quality and Sound quality.

Did a lot of research and almost decided on E-09 ... read more [+]but after seeing this model in a local store, I was blown away with the sound quality. Decided on this model mainly because of the USB connectivity Floppy drive. While many other keyboards offer other media, Floppy is easier for me keep them organized - and a lot cheaper!

The sound is just wonderful. Sax and Flutes sound so real. The built in speakers delivers an excellent sound with a 10W per channel amp behind it.

The keys are also great and some of the tones like the pano flute, the velocity keys just rocks.

I have never tried it with stage amps - but I am sure it will be just awsome.

I could not find a lot of arranger/keyboards in this price range from other vendors - but if you want to stay within a reasonable budget, this will not disappoint you.

Now for the bad thing: Not much but the manual could be more detailed - especially on how to manage user programs. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
