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. 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, personalize tonal details, and craft unique instruments not possible in the physical world.
