The Roland RP107 digital piano brings the glorious sound and playing feel of the world’s finest acoustic grand pianos into your home. Boasting an elegant, compact traditional upright design, the RP107 will harmonize with any decor and add a fashionable accent to any room. But the RP107 is not all about style. Under the hood, Roland’s state-of-the-art engineering is hard at work. The RP107’s SuperNATURAL sound engine and onboard speaker system delivers rich, room filling tone, while its PHA-4 Standard keyboard and triple-pedal assembly support proper playing technique with the authentic feel of an acoustic grand piano. That Roland has managed to bring this truly superior instrument to market at such an affordable price is testimony to the company’s decades-long leadership in music technology.
We get our hands on some of the finest digital and acoustic pianos on the planet, and the Roland RP107 has impressed many of the fastidious pianists here with the authenticity of its sound and playing feel. Much of that has to do with Roland’s renowned SuperNATURAL sound engine, which incorporates sophisticated sampling and modeling technologies to give you an intimate and customizable connection with your keyboard that puts the complex nuances of an acoustic grand piano at your fingertips. Drawing upon Roland’s rich sonic legacy, the SuperNATURAL piano engine — the same technology that drives the company’s higher-end models — allows for stunningly realistic acoustic pianos and electric pianos that can take you from pristine sparkle to funky grit, plus a curated selection of premium acoustic and electronic instruments. As for the playing feel; again, Roland’s advanced PHA-4 keybed, working in concert with their SuperNATURAL engine and triple-pedal system, nails the experience of playing a world-class concert grand.
In the RP107, advanced sensor technologies work together with the SuperNATURAL Piano engine to provide performance and playing expressiveness that rivals the finest acoustic grand pianos. The RP107 sports Roland’s PHA-4 Standard keyboard, which features the fourth generation of the company’s acclaimed Progressive Hammer Action with Escapement. The escapement mechanism in a grand piano moves the hammers away from the strings quickly after they strike them, in order to prevent any interference with string vibration. This mechanism creates a slight but discernible “nudge” when the keys are pressed gently, and the PHA-4 Standard keyboard replicates this sensation near the bottom of the key dip. The RP107 also includes a triple-pedal assembly with damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals. The damper and soft pedals support continuous detection for advanced pedaling techniques.
The RP107 may be technologically sophisticated under the hood, but it’s designed to be so easy to use that even young children can dive right in and start playing. With its collection of 377 onboard songs, practice-supportive metronome, recording functionality, and app connectivity, the RP107 provides instant creative enjoyment for the entire family. It has built-in Bluetooth wireless for streaming music from your smartphone and accessing a world of apps, so everyone stays motivated with exciting new musical challenges. Dual headphone jacks and Twin Piano mode are perfect for duets with a friend or teacher. Enjoy rich, room-filling stereo from its built-in speaker system or indulge in late-night practice as you thrill to the sound of your playing, enhanced with Roland’s immersive Headphones 3D Ambience.
Aside from their not needing costly maintenance and regular tuning, one of the benefits of digital pianos over their acoustic counterparts is the inclusion of high-tech features that engage the whole family and foster the sense of excitement in musical exploration. The Roland RP107 is very well-equipped in this regard. You can use Bluetooth audio to connect to your smartphone or tablet, stream music through the RP107’s speakers or headphone outputs, and then play along with your favorite songs. Control RP107 functions, explore lessons, and more with the companion Roland Piano App, which automatically records your performances for self-assessment and challenges you to learn new pieces with its One Week Master program. The RP107’s USB computer port lets you connect up with DAW software, while its USB memory port makes it quick and easy to record your performances to a flash drive. With its superior sound and playability, advanced features, elegant styling, and gentle price tag, the Roland RP107 is an inspiring choice for your family piano.
