At Music Experience, we've found that the SuperNATURAL sound engine gives you an intimate and customizable connection with your keyboard. Each note can be shaped to respond to your touch and dynamics with the tone and harmonic accuracy you desire. Roland's PHA-4 Standard keyboard provides a playing experience that is perfect for beginners while satisfying even the most seasoned pianists.
PHA-4 Standard keyboard gives you satisfying, natural acoustic piano feel
No matter your skillset on the piano, Roland's PHA-4 Standard keyboard brings out the best in your playing. Authentic Hammer Action and Escapement helps communicate every nuance of expression and dynamics. With its high-resolution sensing and fast key repetition, this keyboard is built to satisfy even the most advanced pianists, so you won't need to upgrade your RP-701 as your technique improves. The keys even simulate the look and feel of real ebony and ivory, and their textured, moisture-absorbing properties deepen the feeling that you're playing a fine acoustic grand piano. And to enhance the superb expressiveness of the keyboard, the RP-701 is equipped with a progressive damper action pedal that mimics the feel and response of those found on the finest acoustic pianos.
Enhanced headphone experience with 3D Ambience
When you're practicing with headphones, you want a satisfying sonic experience, and that's precisely what you get with the RP-701. Roland's 3D Ambience technology is engineered to give you the sensation that you're playing in a real acoustical space, yielding a rich, natural piano sound.
Loaded with sounds, plus practice and performance features
The RP-701 is loaded with 324 great sounds that run the full gamut of musical instruments. There are onboard effects, too. Practice and performance features include Twin Piano, which effectively lets you split the keyboard into two parts, each with identical note range and its own sustain pedal (in this mode, the left and right pedals each have the damper function). Twin Piano is ideal for lessons and duets, but that's not the RP-701's only skill-building feature. The built-in metronome and SMF (standard MIDI file) recorder let you practice with a perfect time reference and also record and listen back to your performances — critical for polishing your chops.
Connect to your smart device via Bluetooth
The RP-701 supports Bluetooth streaming of audio from your smart device, so you can play along with songs from your music library. You can take advantage of any iOS/Android MIDI music apps and benefit from Roland's Piano Partner 2 app, which displays digital notation for the RP-701's internal songs and provides backing rhythms and other useful practice tools. You can also personalize and fine-tune the RP-701's sounds with the Piano Designer app via your device's touch display.

Just like playing a traditional acoustic grand.
If you're used to playing your piano teacher's acoustic, you'll find the RP701 a smooth transition. This digital piano feels instantly familiar, not only capturing the sound of each note in minute detail, but also reflecting your touch and dynamics. The powerful onboard SuperNATURAL sound engine means you'll hear all the subtle changes in tone and resonance, just as you would on an acoustic instrument. That lifelike tone is matched by the PHA-4 Standard keyboard, whose escapement and ivory-touch white keys feel just right, even down to the distinctive "click" when each one is played. Also included is a Progressive Damper Action pedal, so you can practice the same half-pedal techniques you've learned at music lessons.
