"If you take a keyboard with you to a gig, this is the best thing you can get."

Feature:
Sustain Pedal is included and owners manual is very well written. I would have liked a built in power supply , but I purchased a spare for around $50, in case I forget to bring mine to a gig.

Quality:
Roland stuff is bullet proof, I dont expect any problems.

Value:
This keyboard is a bargain for what it does and especially for what it weighs. I would buy it again without hesitation.

Desirability:
Looks great

Sound:
Great Piano and Rhodes sounds and Bass for Key Bass split keyboard function. 128 Note Polyphony eliminates note dropouts when using sustain pedal. I use my RD300SX with a Yamaha Motif ES Rack and have an unlimited number of sounds with a great keyboard action.

Support:
I have used Roland support before and they are alwayws very good.

Overall:
I am going to use this for a long time. This is the best and lightest keyboard I have seen to date.

Description
Docs, Multimedia
From Our Catalog
Developed simultaneously with the flagship RD-700SX, the RD-300SX provides the same stunning 88-note multi-sampled piano found in the flagship, plus 128 voice polyphonic performance, and expanded soundsets. Its feature set is pure heavyweight, but physically the RD-300SX is one of the lightest 88-note pianos in its class -- a comfort to transport from gig to gig.

Features
New stage piano with 88-key grand piano multisamples

Compact Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard

Lightweight and portable

128-voice polyphony

Onboard multi-effects with 78 algorithms and 2-band EQ with dedicated knobs

32 programable setups allow instant recall of custom settings

USB MIDI for easy connection to a PC or Mac

Easy splits and dual; master keyboard control

GM2-compatible sound engine onboard

No-compromise sound & feel
With Roland's most powerful sound engine at its core, the RD-300SX delivers heavyweight specs in a lightweight body. Sharing much in common with its high-end sibling, the RD-700SX, the RD-300SX offers 128-voice polyphony, 88-note individually sampled grand piano waveforms, and hundreds of additional sounds and rhythms -- from jazz to techno.

Compact Progressive Hammer-Action
The RD-300SX features Roland's Compact Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard, which simulates a real grand piano by providing a heavier touch in the lower octaves that gets increasingly lighter in the upper range. This keyboard has many of the same design elements as Roland's acclaimed Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard, but its keyboard-action mechanism is much more compact and lightweight.

Simple Navigation
Players will appreciate the RD-300SX's ease of operation and convenient hands-on controls. Dedicated buttons and knobs are provided for instant access to the piano sound, EQ settings, and dual/split keyboard setups. No searching through menus or submenus to find the most common functions; everything you need is within quick reach. Thanks to the handy Setup mode, you can quickly store and recall parameter changes with the touch of a button. A pitch bend/modulation lever has been added for expressive control. Operation is clean and streamlined so you can focus on playing, not programming.

High-quality effects
For subtle sweetening or complete transformation, the RD-300SX offers a wide lineup of 78 multi-effect types to choose from, plus independent effects such as reverb, 2-band digital EQ, and Sound Control. Add sparkle to your grand piano sound, deep-fry an electric piano, add depth and spatial movement to strings -- the choices are vast.

Lightweight, compact
It has an impressive, heavy-duty body (with sophisticated black brushed metal finish) but the RD-300SX is actually one of the lightest 88-note piano in its class. At less than 35 pounds (15.5kg), it's ultra easy to transport -- yet built tough enough for the rigors of the road.

USB MIDI
Connect the RD-300SX to computers via USB port for one-cable MIDI communication. Standard MIDI in/out ports connectors are provided as well. Master, slave, or solo -- the RD-300SX can be played as a standalone instrument, driven from other MIDI gear, or used as the master controller for an entire MIDI setup.
