Los Angeles, CA, August 31, 2012 — Roland is pleased to announce that the popular RP301R Digital Piano is now available in a striking white finish along with the previously available Satin Black and Simulated Rosewood finish options. Attractive, fun, and affordable, the RP301R features the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, Ivory Feel-G keyboard, and built-in rhythm accompaniments, and is perfect for beginning piano students, families, and anyone that wants to have fun playing the piano.

The RP301R has 60 fun onboard rhythm accompaniments designed for pianists to enrich their musical repertoire and enjoyment. Players can make incredible music with the newly developed full-keyboard chord recognition engine, which reacts to the pressing level of the damper pedal. They can play along with sophisticated rhythm accompaniments without changing their playing style, and rhythm accompaniment selections can be expanded through USB memory.

At the heart of the RP301R is Roland’s acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, which delivers an authentic grand piano playing experience with seamless variations in tone from pianissimo to fortissimo, notes that fade naturally without looping.

The 88-note Ivory Feel-G keyboard provides world-class touch to match the RP301R’s SuperNATURAL Piano tone. Featuring a progressive hammer action design with escapement, it inherits the functions, appearance, and texture of keyboards found on Roland’s flagship pianos. Thanks to the combination of top-level sound and playing feel, theRP301R offers expressivity and performance that rivals that of high-end instruments.

The RP301R supports USB MIDI, so users can connect to computers and use the instrument with music recording software. With the USB Memory function, users can stream music directly from a convenient USB memory, allowing them to play along with their favorite WAV audio and SMF (Standard MIDI File) songs.

Equipped with a built-in stereo speaker system, the RP301R delivers rich and full sound with an easy-to-adjust volume control. The onboard LCD helps you find a song, tone or rhythm accompaniment quickly by name. It also features an environment-conscious design with an Auto Off function and low power consumption. The instrument is outfitted with a smooth-sliding keyboard cover, three integrated pedals, and headphone jacks for silent practice. The compact and beautiful upright cabinet fits in nearly any space and decor.
