Roland HP605 PE Polished Ebony digital piano

General

Take a quick look at the Roland HP605 Polished Ebony, and you're forgiven for thinking you're dealing with a genuine acoustic piano. Despite its classic looks, however, this Roland instrument is a high-grade digital piano. The HP605 PE is incredibly comfortable to play, which hugely benefits your performance. What really sets this Roland apart from similar models, though, is its SuperNATURAL engine. Thanks to physical modelling technology, it delivers authentic piano sound with unlimited polyphony. Additionally, the digital piano offers hundreds of other tones, which can all handle up to 384 simultaneous voices.

The magic of the HP605

These days, digital piano manufacturers are capable of creating high-quality samples for their instruments. Roland, however, has taken sound generation to the next level with their SuperNATURAL engine, which uses physical modelling technology. Instead of samples, this engine uses complex formulas that take factors like string, hammer and cabinet resonance into account while they calculate the right sound for each individual struck note. To please the eyes as well as the ears, the HP605 PE has a stylish design, and its high-grade pedals and keys feel great under your feet and fingers.

Additional possibilities

Who doesn't own a smartphone or a tablet these days? Set up a Bluetooth connection with the HP605, and you're able to stream music from your device. You'll be able to play along with your favourite tracks or with recorded four-hand piano parts. It's also worth looking into the available apps. There's an iOS app, for instance, which gives you access to over 70,000 sheet music files. Turning the virtual pages is easy - you can simply use your digital piano's pedals.
