Full description
Unparalleled RD performance.
The RD-2000 EX represents the pinnacle of Roland's RD heritage, bringing together 50 years of piano development expertise into an uncompromising instrument tailored for today's players. Two independent engines put our very best sounds at your fingertips, backed by a refined hammer-action keyboard for unparalleled playability. Advanced controller features are also included, allowing you to manipulate sounds and integrate software and hardware synths through an intuitive, convenient workflow.
Premium V-Piano expression.
The RD-2000 EX features a sound engine powered by V-Piano technology, our acclaimed modeling method, which reproduces the complex sound and interactive feel of an acoustic piano in astonishing detail. High-speed DSP eliminates the limitations of purely sample-based systems, delivering natural response, unlimited expression, and full polyphony. There’s a wide selection of ready-made presets, and it’s possible to go much further if you want. With the built-in Piano Designer tools, you can adjust the tuning of individual notes, customize tonal details, and create unique instruments that aren’t possible in the physical world.
Pre-installed V-Piano extensions.
In addition to the core V-Piano instrument, the RD-2000 EX expands your creative possibilities with two V-Piano Expansion titles. The German Concert Expansion provides a versatile new voice inspired by famous concert-class grand pianos. The newly developed Essential Upright Expansion introduces an intimate sound flavor with the distinctive character and unique spatial quality of a high-end upright piano.
SuperNATURAL EPs.
The RD-2000 EX offers a wide range of iconic electric pianos powered by Roland's renowned SuperNATURAL engine. You also get an authentic recreation of the RD-1000 - the groundbreaking instrument that started the RD story in 1986 - along with the MKS-20, a classic sound module heard on countless hits from the mid-'80s onwards. Several vintage-style effects add distinctive color, including accurate reproductions of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal and the Roland SDD-320 Dimension D studio rack unit.
Sounds for every musical style.
The RD-2000 EX isn't just a piano - it also features over 1,100 SuperNATURAL-powered sounds for every genre. Call up VK-series Virtual ToneWheel organs, 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 pianos, harpsichords and other keyboard instruments, orchestral strings and brass, world sounds, and more.
Expand your options
On the Roland Axial website, you'll find genuine RD sound libraries ready to be loaded 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.
Take control on stage
Packed with extensive controller features, the RD-2000 EX is ideal for managing a large performance setup. The panel is packed with knobs and sliders for quick, hands-on control, and the knobs have LED indicators for instant status updates and precise parameter adjustments. Eight assignable zones let you map sounds to different tonal ranges or create combination sounds with up to eight layers. Scenes let you save 100 snapshots of all your keyboard settings and recall them with a single 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 frequencies up to 192 kHz, so you can bring your best sounds to every gig.
Flexible connection
With its versatile I/O, the RD-2000 EX is ready for any performance need. The main stereo outputs are on XLR and ¼-inch jacks, giving you a balanced house feed and a secondary output for stage monitoring. There's also an assignable sub output, allowing you to independently route internal sounds and USB audio to other destinations. Along with the USB audio/MIDI interface, there are traditional MIDI connectors for working with your favorite hardware.
Magnificent touch and feel.
Offering the finest playability available in a stage instrument, the RD-2000 EX delivers an inspiring experience that rivals our leading full-size grand pianos. With progressive hammer action, escapement, and advanced sensor detection, the PHA-50 keyboard is ready to unleash all the nuances of the deeply expressive acoustic and electric pianos. The innovative hybrid key construction combines wood and molded materials, providing both an authentic feel and robust durability that can withstand years of live playing.
Indispensable accessory.
The RD-2000 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 true grand piano experience. The optional KS-G8B stand features a sleek design, durable steel tubing, and rigid bracing for solid support and three-way height adjustment for sitting or standing.
Upgrade your original RD-2000.
The RD-2000 EX Upgrade, available on Roland Cloud, equips an original RD-2000 model with EX specifications, including the German Concert and Essential Upright V-Piano Expansion titles.
