Since 1986, musicians worldwide have relied on Roland's RD pianos - a tradition that accompanies both the hobby musician with weekend gigs and the traveling professional. With the newest member of this iconic family, the RD-08, Roland continues this tradition. The RD-08 combines the essential features of its predecessors in an affordable instrument that can be upgraded to meet the growing demands of talented musicians.
The sounds of the RD-08 are based on Roland's highly acclaimed SuperNATURAL technology, which delivers dynamic, characterful acoustic and electric pianos. This technology gives musicians unlimited expressive possibilities both on stage and in the studio. In addition to the breathtaking piano sounds, the RD-08 offers a wide range of organs, synthesizers, strings and other instrument sounds, ideal for any style of music, powered by the advanced ZEN-Core sound engine - known from Roland's current top synthesizers.
The RD-08 stands for outstanding playability, based on more than four decades of Roland experience in piano manufacturing. The PHA-4 keyboard with 88 weighted keys and ivory feel offers an authentic playing experience similar to that of a concert grand piano. Innovative design elements ensure that the instrument is lightweight without compromising on playability or performance.
The intuitive user interface of the RD-08 allows seamless control while playing. Quick access buttons and multifunctional controls make it easy to select sounds, transpose and apply layers, effects and EQ settings. All personal settings can be saved as scenes and recalled at any time at the touch of a button to give every performance the right sound.
The RD-08 is the ideal instrument for the active and mobile musician. Its lightweight and compact dimensions make it the perfect companion when traveling. In addition, its robust construction guarantees durability, even under the challenging conditions of everyday touring. The built-in stereo speakers deliver a powerful sound that makes carrying additional amplifiers unnecessary.
