DESCRIPTION
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.
UNRIVALED RD PERFORMANCE
The RD-2000 EX represents the pinnacle of the Roland RD legacy, packing 50 years of piano development knowledge into a no-compromise instrument tailored for today’s performers. Two independent engines put our very best sounds at your fingertips, supported by a refined hammer-action keyboard for unmatched playability.
PREMIUM V-PIANO EXPRESSION
The RD-2000 EX features a sound engine powered by V-Piano technology, our acclaimed modeling approach that realizes 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.
SUPERNATURAL EPs
The RD-2000 EX offers a diverse selection of iconic electric pianos powered by Roland’s renowned SuperNATURAL engine. You also get an authentic recreation of the RD-1000—the breakthrough instrument that began the RD story in 1986—along with the MKS-20, a classic sound module heard on countless hits from the mid-’80s forward.
EXPAND YOUR POSSIBILITIES
On the Roland Axial site, you’ll find genuine RD sound libraries ready to load into the RD-2000’s two expansion slots. Install the actual sounds from previous RD instruments like the RD-500, RD-600, and RD-700 series. Or expand your creative palette with the RD-EXP05 Virtual ToneWheel Organ and RD-EXP06 Analog/Digital Vintage Synth collections.
COMMAND THE STAGE
Loaded with extensive controller features, the RD-2000 EX is ideal for commanding a large-scale performance setup. The panel is filled with knobs and sliders for quick hands-on control, and the knobs feature LED indicators for instant status updates and precise parameter tweaks. Eight assignable zones allow you to map sounds to different key ranges or create combination sounds with up to eight layers. With Scenes, you can save 100 snapshots containing all your keyboard settings and recall them with a touch.
MAGINIFICENT 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.
