Priced and designed for the serious gigging musician, the Roland RD-300GX 88-Key Digital Stage Piano is perfect for working keyboardists.

Priced and designed for the serious gigging musician, the Roland RD-300GX 88-Key Digital Stage Piano is manna from heaven for you working keyboardists. You say you want a full-range piano that doesn't weigh a ton or cost a fortune, but still sounds and plays up to your demanding professional standards? Some might call you "overly demanding," but we just call you "describing the Roland RD-300GX." Let's take a closer look.

Superior Grand: Not Just A Clever Name
It takes chutzpah to call the signature sound patch on your digital piano the "Superior Grand," but like the old saying goes, it ain't bragging if you can back it up. For their grand piano sound, Roland painstakingly crafted a new multi-sample instrument featuring deep dynamic range, stunning stereo brilliance, and a tone that's both warm and striking. Paired with the piano's 128-polyphony and PHA alpha II 88-key keyboard, the Superior Grand is one of the most expressive digital piano sounds on the market. For those who are never satisfied with the out-of-the-box sound, the RD-300GX lets you get deep into sound customization, offering control over parameters as esoteric as Hammer Noise and Damper Resonance. In addition to the acoustic piano sounds, this keyboard comes loaded with amazing electric piano sounds, organs, strings, drum kits, and a full MIDI sound set.

Semi-Weighted Action, Feather-Weighted Package
You'll fall in love with the action on the RD-300GX's 88-Key PHA alpha II keyboard, and then promptly cheat on… read more it with the piano's 36-pound overall weight. Don't you wish your other keyboards weighed as little? Here's an idea: ditch them all and get some sound modules instead. Because of its support for multi-zone MIDI output, the RD-300GX makes the perfect controller keyboard for multi-module rigs. There's no way to make 88 keys any shorter, but the Roland RD-300GX makes your entire setup lighter. Next step: fire your chiropractor!

More than any other instrument, the keyboard is made for solo performance. But that doesn't mean you have to sound like you're all by yourself, especially when you're gigging with the Roland RD-300GX. On the back of the unit you'll find a little USB port. Connect a USB thumb drive and you'll be able to play backing tracks directly from any MIDI, MP3, WAV, or AIFF files you've got. You can even assign basic transport controls (play, pause, FF, RW, stop, and more) to the lowest 15 keys for total performance control at your fingertips.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm satisfied. It has a great piano sound, an almost perfect action, great quality of construction, usb and midi connections, nice for midi controller and on the road keyboard, also for studio applications. I recommend it.
Sound
The "superior grand" piano sound is amazing. Really nice and expressive. It has lots of harmonics (open strings, duplex scale, resonance) that makes a more realistic experience and even not a grand (very far from it, as all digital pianos in my opinion), it's a very nice sounding and expressive instrument I really enjoy to play. Other sounds are weaker... some nice EP (nothing in the quality if the superior grand), some acceptable organ, poor strings, some funny choral and synts, all usable but any remarkable for me.
Features
Great keyboard, very nice action. Also it has many useful one touch controls that makes very easy and fast most basic operations. You can playback files from a usb pendrive, thats great. Has some rhythmic patterns (nothing special for me)
Ease of Use
The basic operations very easy, more advanced requires reading the manual, but wehn you get it, it's fast and easy.
Quality
All metal made in Japan. Looks very solid and hope it will be.
Value
It's a good value... not the best (a little overpriced) but has a really great piano sound, solid construction, lightweight.. I think I's ok.
Manufacturer Support
no experience..
The Wow Factor
Excellent design, very attractive.
