The ultimate RD experience. The RD-2000 EX delivers the ultimate RD experience, fusing Roland’s top piano technologies with a rich array of modern creative tools. This powerful and inspiring instrument is the most complete stage piano solution available, offering dual sound engines, two pre-installed V-Piano Expansions, premium playability, and advanced controller features for professional performers. More 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. Advanced controller features are also included, letting you manipulate sounds and integrate software and hardware synths via an intuitive, hands-on workflow. 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. Pre-installed V-Piano Expansions. In addition to the core V-Piano instrument, the RD-2000 EX extends your creative range with two V-Piano Expansion titles. Ideal for both solo work and ensemble performances, the German Concert expansion offers a versatile new voice inspired by famous concert-class grand pianos. The newly developed Essential Upright expansion brings a more intimate sonic flavor with the distinctive tones and unique spatial quality of a high-end upright piano. SuperNATURAL EPs. The RD-2000 EX offers a diverse selection of iconic electric pianos powered by Roland’s renowned SuperNATURAL engine. You also get an authentic recreation of the RD-1000—the breakthrough instrument that began the RD story in 1986—along with the MKS-20, a classic sound module heard on countless hits from the mid-’80s forward. Several vintage-style effects provide distinctive color, including spot-on recreations of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal and Roland SDD-320 Dimension D studio rack unit. Sounds for every musical style. The RD-2000 EX is not just a piano—it also includes over 1100 SuperNATURAL-driven sounds for any genre. Call up Virtual ToneWheel organs derived from the VK series, complete with a rotary effect and authentic drawbar control via the panel sliders. Cover electronic textures with modern and vintage synths. And explore even more styles with clavs, harpsichords, and other keyboard instruments, orchestral strings and brass, world sounds, and more. Expand your possibilities. On the Roland Axial site, you’ll find genuine RD sound libraries ready to load into the RD-2000’s two expansion slots. Install the actual sounds from previous RD instruments like the RD-500, RD-600, and RD-700 series. Or expand your creative palette with the RD-EXP05 Virtual ToneWheel Organ and RD-EXP06 Analog/Digital Vintage Synth collections. Command the stage. Loaded with extensive controller features, the RD-2000 EX is ideal for commanding a large-scale performance setup. The panel is filled with knobs and sliders for quick hands-on control, and the knobs feature LED indicators for instant status updates and precise parameter tweaks. Eight assignable zones allow you to map sounds to different key ranges or create combination sounds with up to eight layers. With Scenes, you can save 100 snapshots containing all your keyboard settings and recall them with a touch. Seamless software integration. The RD-2000 EX features a USB audio/MIDI interface and control support for Apple MainStage, allowing you to work with virtual instruments and studio tracks alongside the internal RD sounds. The interface supports 24-bit audio at rates up to 192 kHz, so you can use your best sounds on every gig. Flexible connectivity. With its versatile I/O, the RD-2000 EX is ready for any performance need. Main stereo outs are provided on XLR and ¼-inch jacks, giving you a balanced house feed and a secondary output for stage monitoring. An assignable sub output is also on hand to independently route internal sounds and USB audio to other destinations. Along with the USB audio/MIDI interface, there are traditional MIDI jacks to work with your favorite hardware. Magnificent touch and feel. The RD-2000 EX offers the finest playability available in a stage instrument, delivering an inspiring experience that rivals our premier full-size grand pianos. With progressive hammer action, escapement, and advanced sensor detection, the PHA-50 keyboard is ready to unlock all the nuances of the deeply expressive acoustic and electric pianos. Innovative hybrid key construction combines wood and molded materials, offering both an authentic feel and rugged durability that will support years of live playing. Essential accessories. The RD-2000 EX features multiple inputs for damper control and expression pedals. The DP-10 damper pedal is included, while the optional RPU-3 combines three pedals into one compact unit for a genuine grand piano experience. The optional KS-G8B stand features a sleek design, durable steel piping, and rigid bracing, providing solid support and three-way height adjustment for sitting or standing.
