Premium RD stage piano with two independent sound engines and modern controller features.
The RD-2000 EX delivers the ultimate RD experience, fusing Roland’s top piano technologies with a rich array of modern creative tools.
This powerful and inspiring instrument is the most complete stage piano solution available, offering dual sound engines, two pre-installed V-Piano Expansions, premium playability, and advanced controller features for professional performers.
Premium V-Piano expression
The RD-2000 EX features a sound engine powered by V-Piano technology, our acclaimed modelling approach that realises the complex sound and interactive feel of an acoustic piano in astonishing detail. High-speed DSP eliminates the roadblocks of systems based solely on samples, providing natural response, unlimited expression, and full polyphony. There’s a wide selection of ready-to-play presets, and it’s possible to go much further if you want. With the onboard Piano Designer tools, you can adjust the tuning of individual notes, personalise tonal details, and craft unique instruments not possible in the physical world.
Sounds for every musical style
The RD-2000 EX is not just a piano—it also includes over 1100 SuperNATURAL-driven sounds for any genre. Call up Virtual ToneWheel organs derived from the VK series, complete with a rotary effect and authentic drawbar control via the panel sliders. Cover electronic textures with modern and vintage synths. And explore even more styles with clavs, harpsichords, and other keyboard instruments, orchestral strings and brass, world sounds, and more.
Seamless software integration
The RD-2000 EX features a USB audio/MIDI interface and control support for Apple MainStage, allowing you to work with virtual instruments and studio tracks alongside the internal RD sounds. The interface supports 24-bit audio at rates up to 192 kHz, so you can use your best sounds on every gig.
Magnificent touch and feel
The RD-2000 EX offers the finest playability available in a stage instrument, delivering an inspiring experience that rivals our premier full-size grand pianos. With progressive hammer action, escapement, and advanced sensor detection, the PHA-50 keyboard is ready to unlock all the nuances of the deeply expressive acoustic and electric pianos. Innovative hybrid key construction combines wood and molded materials, offering both an authentic feel and rugged durability that will support years of live playing.
