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.

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.

A History…
In 1986, Roland transformed the music world with the RD-1000, a landmark stage piano with expressive capabilities far beyond other performance-class instruments of the era. Instantly embraced by leading artists around the world, the RD-1000 launched an evolving instrument line dedicated to the needs of modern stage pianists. Nearly 40 years on, the RD series continues to lead the way with three inspiring models that bring our advanced technologies to players of every level.
Decades of excellence: Throughout our history, we’ve continuously pushed the envelope of piano development through ongoing deep research and cutting-edge innovation. Each new RD generation carries on that mission, delivering our latest piano advancements in portable designs with exceptional sounds and player-friendly features.
1970s - Sowing the seeds: In 1973, we began our piano journey with the EP-10 and EP-20, two electronic piano models that generated sounds solely with analog circuitry. The EP-30, the first electronic piano with velocity sensitivity, was released the following year. These pioneering instruments set the blueprint for a legacy of Roland piano excellence that continues to this day.
1986 - The RD story begins: Driven by Roland’s Structured Adaptive (SA) system, the RD-1000 was the world’s first piano with a sound engine based on digital synthesis technology. SA was a significant breakthrough that elevated the electronic piano with tone and touch response previously only available with acoustic instruments. The powerfully expressive voice of the RD-1000—along with its sound module sibling, the MKS-20—became a staple of popular music throughout the late ’80s and ’90s.
1990s and 2000s - Continuing RD advancements: Through the mid-1990s and early 2000s, the RD-500, RD-600, and RD-700 refined the line with streamlined hardware and additional sounds for more versatility. In 2005, the RD-700SX firmly established the RD as the professional stage piano standard with important new advancements, including two ultra-detailed grand pianos built with newly developed 88-note stereo multi-sampling technology. These innovations paved the way for the acclaimed SuperNATURAL piano engine in the next-generation RD-700GX and every RD model since.
2017 - Stage revolution: Launched in 2017, the mighty RD-2000 introduced our most powerful stage piano to date. Designed for top professional performers, it offered the finest Roland sounds and playability, high-end controller features, and computer integration for modern workflows. Equipped with independent sound engines driven by V-Piano modeling and SuperNATURAL technologies, the creative possibilities were endless.
2024 - The RD world expands: The RD-2000 EX and RD-88 EX stage pianos build on the foundations of previous-generation models with newly developed piano expansions. And with upgrade packages on Roland Cloud, RD-2000 and RD-88 owners can easily update their instruments to complete EX specs. This year also saw the introduction of the RD-08, an affordable RD piano that can be expanded with additional features as creative needs evolve.

First unveiled in 2009, the V-Piano engine offers unlimited range through Roland’s extensive piano research, continual refinements, and the evolving capabilities of high-speed digital processing.
V-Piano delivers a piano experience with no compromises, erasing the limitations of standard piano sound engines based solely on sample playback. The complex sound and interactive feel of an acoustic piano are realized at every level, with rich and responsive tonal details and full keyboard polyphony. This powerful digital engine also provides deep customization options that enable ambitious players to craft the pianos of their dreams.
SuperNATURAL powers.
All current RD pianos include our acclaimed SuperNATURAL piano sound engine, a foundation of the RD lineup since 2007. This core Roland technology combines multi-sampling with advanced modeling, providing nuanced and responsive acoustic pianos with efficient use of DSP resources. The SuperNATURAL process also allows us to realize spot-on recreations of electronic pianos from the past, including iconic ’60 and ’70s instruments and our classic RD-1000 and MKS-20.
Sound expansion.
Recent RD models support expansion options on Roland Cloud and Axial. Along with the upgrade packages for the RD-2000, RD-88, and RD-08 models, you’ll find a wide range of V-Piano and SuperNATURAL Expansions, Wave Expansions, and other titles for various RD instruments.
