Roland HP605 WH White digital piano

General

With its convincing cabinet, music stand, keys and pedals, the Roland HP605 WH could easily trick you into believing you're dealing with a real acoustic piano, while in fact you're playing a high-quality digital instrument. Whether you prefer Rachmaninov's masterpieces or Philip Glass' minimal music, this comfortable piano delivers outstanding results. What really makes the HP605 WH stand out from other digital pianos in the same price range, however, is its SuperNATURAL engine. Thanks to this sound generator, you're able to enjoy an unlimited polyphony for your piano sound, as well as hundreds of other tones that support no fewer than 384 simultaneous voices.

The real sound and feel

These days, many modern digital pianos use high-quality samples to great effect, but Roland takes sound reproduction to the next level. Their SuperNATURAL engine uses physical modelling technology, which means it applies complex formulas instead of samples. Factors like string, hammer and cabinet resonance are all taken into account, ensuring an incredibly life-like sound. Additionally, the HP605 boasts an attractive design, and is equipped with comfortable keys and high-grade pedals.

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.
