Roland’s most affordable RD to date delivers sound and playability for professional gigging, along with versatile sounds, an intuitive interface, and onboard stereo speakers. Users can add even more sounds and features as needs evolve.
Backed by Roland’s SuperNATURAL technology, the RD-08 is filled with dynamic, acoustic and electric pianos for stage and in the studio. The instrument also includes a vast selection of organs, synths, strings, and other sounds to tackle any musical style, driven by the same ZEN-Core sound engine found in flagship synthesizers like FANTOM and JUPITER-X.
The RD-08 offers the PHA-4 88-note keyboard features weighted hammer action and Ivory Feel keys for an authentic grand feel.
Top-level buttons provide fast access to sound selection, transpose, and other functions, while four multi-function knobs offer hands-on control of layers, effects, EQ, and more. All keyboard tweaks can be saved within Scene memories.#
