RD-88

World-class playability.

For over three decades, RD pianos have been trusted by professionals, night after night, on stages the world over. One key reason is how playable they are, and how connected you feel when you play one. You get sturdy controls and smooth, reliable keyboard action that feels natural—never stiff, never spongy.

RD-88

Authentic sounds.

A great stage piano needs sounds that are authentic and have character. The RD-88 draws upon its rich heritage and features newly developed SuperNATURAL pianos and electric pianos that can go from sparkle to grit with a few knob twists. And for extra versatility, there's a curated selection of acoustic and electronic sounds from our historic legacy using the ZEN-Core Synthesis System found in our flagship synthesizers.

RD-88

Refreshingly simple.

RD pianos are easy to connect with, thanks to their intuitive controls and friendly layout. The RD-88 is no different, giving you just what you need for confident and expressive performances. Vital controls are clearly marked and always in reach, so you can quickly find your favorite sounds, add effects, or shape the tonal balance to suit the venue.

RD-88

Integrate virtual instruments.

Sometimes you need a very specific sound or the unique capabilities of a virtual instrument or sample library. The RD-88 has three zones that can be configured with internal tones or set up to control sounds in Apple MainStage. This makes it simple to duplicate the sound of a track live or mix your favorite computer-based instruments with the RD-88's own palette of sounds.

RD-88

Fits your life.

The RD-88's clean and compact design fits neatly into your lifestyle. Its lightweight and sturdy build makes it easy to take with you and quick to set up, even on small stages or in cramped rehearsal spaces. And the room-filling integrated speaker system is ultra-convenient and lets you play with less clutter and less fuss.

RD-88

EX sound expansion.

Available on Roland Cloud, the RD-88 EX Upgrade equips an original RD-88 with the SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion included in the RD-88 EX.
