Amazing Grand Piano Sound and 474 More!

The Roland RD-700SX is the next step in digital piano technology! Equipped with the most authentic and expressive multisampled grands to ever adorn a stage piano, the RD-700SX represents the pinnacle of digital stage-piano design and performance. Driven by Roland's most powerful sound engine, the RD-700SX enables the ultimate in sound and performance with two world-class grand piano waveforms at its core, and featuring 128-voice polyphonic performance, a Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard, and an expanded sound set (which includes brilliant electric pianos, authentic virtual tonewheel organs, and more). The RD-700SX is an unrivaled new breed of stage piano.

Roland RD-700SX Digital Piano at a Glance:
  • Two complete grand pianos, multi-sampled
  • Outstanding keyboard feel with Progressive Hammer Action
  • Large buttons and LCD display are easy to use onstage
  • Twin multi-effects processors
  • Professional I/O, including three foot pedal inputs
  • 474 internal sounds with expansion capability

Stunning Sounds
With Roland's most powerful processing engine at its core, the RD-700SX provides two complete 88-note world-class concert grand pianos, each with individual multisamples for every key, and recorded at a variety of velocity levels. The RD-700SX also contains authentic electric piano and virtual tonewheel organ instruments, as well as an entire GM2-compatible sound set. Load and Play Standard MIDI files with the built-in MIDI File player. Onboard Rhythm and Arpeggiator functions are provided as well.

Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard
The RD-700SX is equipped with Roland's top-of-the-line Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard, which provides heavy-to-light response as you climb from low to high octaves, just like a real piano. Combined with a true hammer-action mechanism, the keyboard offers an incredibly natural response that feels and plays like a true grand.

Instant Access
With its front-panel sliders, large buttons, and backlit LCD, the RD-700SX is a fast and friendly instrument to pilot, especially for live performers who need instant, fumble-free access to sounds. The one-touch PIANO and E.PIANO buttons let you recall your favorite instrument sounds and edits - such as changes to the piano's String Resonance and Key Touch, or the E.Piano's Amp type. You can also switch entire groups of settings during a performance by selecting a Setup that you've edited and stored in advance; up to 100 Setups can be stored and instantly recalled.

Onboard Effects
Transform your sound with the RD-700SX's powerful twin multi-effects engines onboard. Among the many high-quality effects types are reverb, chorus, Sound Control (3-band compressor), and dedicated 3-band parametric EQ with adjustable frequency, Q, and gain for achieving the perfect custom-tailored sound. Dedicated knobs, buttons, and the large graphical display allow intuitive sound control.

Well Connected
The RD-700SX is fully equipped for the gigging professional. Both 1/4" and XLR outputs provide compatibility with all popular types of mixers and amplification systems. And for the utmost in performance expression, the RD-700SX offers inputs for damper pedals and two-function assignable foot pedals. Use the tandem MIDI outs and USB I/O for MIDI control and data backup/exchange. The RD-700SX's customizable Master Control features allow it to serve as the master for other MIDI instruments. And for audio/visual-minded musicians who want to "play" graphics (via Edirol video equipment), the RD-700SX is V-LINK compatible.

Sound Expansion
The RD-700SX offers an impressive 474 internal tones and 14 rhythm types, which can be expanded by adding two optional Roland SRX boards. Choose from an impressive lineup of SRX titles, including Complete Orchestra, Big Brass Ensemble, World Collection, Platinum Trax, and more.

Unmatched Piano Sounds

Music Background:
Undoubtedly these are the finest piano sounds I've heard in any keyboard, ever. None of the notes sound tinny or boxy in any way--the multi-sampling really brings out the richness and power in every ... read more [+]note. Add to that the ease with which you can split and layer parts, choose sounds and rhythms, add effects, and do graphic EQ, and you have a great keyboard. I think that the piano sounds on this keyboard are also used in some of the other newer Roland keyboards, particularly the stage pianos, so you should give those a look as well. close [-]

This is Roland's finest piano so far!

The XLR outs put sound quality at an altime high when your are recording and gigging but the 1/4 inches are still there for greater flexibility.The two Multi-sampled pianos will blow you away and are like nothing ever heard when it comes to that harmonic expression level.But you don't have to take my word pick one up from Sweetwater today and be prepared to be mesmerised when playing this awesome board. close [-]

Roland RD700SX - A King of Stage Pianos

by happy fingers from Columbus, Ohio
March 17, 2007
Music Background: Contemporary jazz, Pop, R&B, composer and arranger
Wow....this thing is unreal!!!!! I recently checked out the Roland RD700sx stage keyboard and was simply blown away. The weighted action is perfect....all the qualities of an acoustic piano.
<... read more [+]br /> What's great about the RD700sx is the simplicity of the instrument. Splitting and layering sounds on it is a piece of cake with the large buttons. You can adjust the weighting of the keys with a feature called 'touch control' . This is very cool. This way, you can adjust the resistence to match your own playing style. If I recall, there's about 5 different settings. The piano sounds, rhodes and others are superb. Also, this piano has a bunch of preset beats which can inspire song ideas. If you're just jamming by yourself, these sound very nice.

There's really only two things I dislike about the Roland RD700sx. For one thing, it's heavy which makes it harder to transport especially if you gig pretty regularly. I'd suggest a good, hardshell case for sure. Secondly, as far as I know, you can't speed up or slow down the leslie effect on organ patches since it has a pitch/modulation lever. The Yamaha S90es (in comparison) has the wheels which gives you that control. Other than that, I can't say enough about this keyboard. I would highly recommend the RD700sx to any hobbyist or keyboardist who is serious about what they do. I'm really considering saving up for one . close [-]

Best stage piano ever! Just here to pop in some advise. Try out the SRX-7 card. Best B-3, electric pno, Clav's, and synths. About 500 patches so it beats all the other SRX cards I tried.
