Product information

General

While production has stopped on the stage beast that is the Roland RD-88, Roland doesn't disappoint with the upgraded RD-88 EX. This is essentially the original RD-88 but with a mass of extras, including overall improved sound plus the addition of SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3, which means you're getting the even more realistic and natural response of piano sounds backed up by physical modelling.

The Roland RD-88 EX Stage Piano

While the SuperNATURAL piano is likely to be your go-to, this model also supplies a whole bank of other sounds powered by the multi-faceted ZEN-Core engine, which is the same engine that lies at the core of countless Roland synth and keyboard models. Roland has even built in a small set of speakers to support home rehearsals or smaller gigs while the handy display and set of encoders grant smooth and fast control. More than enough effects have also been piled on top and that's alongside the Apple Mainstage integration support and the fact that this instrument weighs less than 14 kilos. All in all, you're looking at any gigging key-head's best mate.

Roland RD-88 EX Stage Piano

Bought the RD88EX to replace a still-good RD700, but thanks heavens this one is not only lighter, but also has a vast array of onboard sounds. Plus the excellent Roland Progressive Hammer action keys are definitely an improvement in the 25 years since the RD700 came out. Personally I have great difficulty in detecting this is a digital piano the sounds are that good. We do have a real piano, but this one stays in tune, and sounds as good!
Bax as usual gave an excellent price and service, so highly recommended.

Roland RD-88 EX Stage Piano

After filling the room with synths and gear I decided to go back to basics and train skills with the Piano to get more out off playing music. The choice is personal, but I found the Roland RD series to good to be true. Had one in the late eighties RD200 which i loved (except the weight) . RD88EX is in my opinion the middle ground in price functionality and sound, and it does sound nice with or without monitors. Build in speakers are very usefull, quick startup and play without booting up the entire electronics division ; ) . The weight is also a plus, not to heavy and still sturdy enough to get the hammering going on that very enjoyable keybed. The build in daw control/MIDI capability are a plus if you want to take it a step further and worked flawless out of the box. Bax gave a good deal and resulted in me buying one brand new. Did i mention the split and layer, it sound ridicules good for the price.
Thx for reading, happy customer on gear and deal
