The most realistic piano sound and touch available
The KR-5 incorporates the best of Roland’s sound technology, and offers the world’s finest and most realistic piano tones; it sounds just like a full concert acoustic grand. It feels like one too. Its authentic touch comes from Roland’s unique Progressive Hammer Action Keyboard, which employs real hammers rather than springs. The keyboard has a realistic touch resistance, with a lighter response when playing soft pianissimo passages and a stronger response on fortissimo passages. It also provides a lighter touch in the upper range and a heavier touch in the lower range. The KR-5 delivers each delicate nuance of your fingers perfectly and naturally, just like an acoustic grand.
Authentic instrument tones and exciting auto-accompaniment
In addition to its realistic piano tones the KR-5 offers more than 600 other lifelike instrument sounds. Whatever sort of instrument you’d like to play—stringed, wind, synth or percussion from anywhere in the world—you can. Do you need piano accompaniment? A symphony? Or a rock band backing you? It’s simple with the KR-5. Special expressive tones, backing styles and auto-accompaniment features make you feel like you’re playing right in the middle of a real live band. Best of all, you can quickly and easily access all these features through the large LCD touchscreen.
Enhanced, easy-to-use lesson features
The KR-5 comes loaded with fun new features to back up your piano practice sessions. The main attraction is the “DigiScore”function, which displays the score for the song right on its large screen. The KR-5 also offers an improved “Rhythm Partner” metronome function. Displayed with a “Bouncing LED” on the panel, this function lets you choose the KR-5’s percussion and drum backup rhythms, providing the right beat and more realism for the piece you are playing, and helping you develop a natural sense of rhythm and timing.
“Wonderland:” Fun, interactive practice for children
The KR-5 contains an “edu-tainment” feature called “Wonderland” designed specifically for children. With large, animated onscreen graphics—and a variety of instruments and voices such as guitar, trumpet, drums, barking dog and locomotive—children can enjoy fun interactive lessons, and six exciting musical and note-guessing games to help them develop their ear for music and their sense of rhythm.
