How to Choose the Best Digital Piano or Keyboard for Your Sound


Roland’s acclaimed PureAcoustic Piano Modeling sound engine





Not many digital pianos get as close to sounding and feeling like an acoustic instrument as Roland’s FP-90X. With its PureAcoustic Piano Modeling sound engine, you get 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. The PureAcoustic Piano Modeling engine features limitless polyphony; the FP-90X is equipped with a robust 256-note polyphony for non-piano voices. Drawing upon Roland’s rich sonic legacy, the FP-90X’s PureAcoustic Piano Modeling sound engine gives you authentic pianos and electric pianos that can take you from pristine sparkle to funky grit ? plus a curated selection of premium acoustic and electronic sounds from Roland’s historic legacy.





PHA-50 keyboard with Escapement





Roland’s premium 88-note PHA-50 keyboard combines wood and molded materials for superior feel and durability, enhancing the sensation that you’re playing a fine acoustic grand piano. With authentic hammer action and Escapement, the FP-90X keyboard communicates every nuance of expression in your playing. Whether you’re playing hard or barely tickling the keys, you’re in control on a responsive keyboard that reacts to every nuance of your touch and technique. Roland’s top-of-the-line action, the PHA-50 incorporates Escapement (also called let-off), which provides the subtle “notch” you feel when you press the keys of a grand piano very softly. A feature of grand pianos not found on uprights, Escapement allows you to quickly repeat notes without fully releasing the key. Lastly, simulated Ebony and Ivory Feel key surfaces wick away moisture from your fingers for a supremely comfortable and authentic acoustic grand piano playing experience.





Powerful built-in speaker system fills the room with full, rich sound





You don’t need to worry about carting around or hooking up an external sound system when you’re playing your Roland FP-90X. That’s because Roland outfitted this instrument with a powerful multi-amped stereo speaker system. The speakers are strategically integrated into the FP-90X chassis, so you and your listeners are enveloped in the lush soundscape of your performance. Small touches matter, and at Sweetwater, we particularly appreciate how the FP-90X’s onboard 3-band equalizer easily adjusts its sound to fit the venue.
