Roland HP302 Digital Piano

Roland HP302 Digital Piano

The Roland HP302 digital piano delivers the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine. The SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine delivers natural and seamless changes in tone color in response to the player’s touch. Its expanded dynamic range supports the most advanced and subtle techniques, just as one would expect in an acoustic grand piano. The decaying sound of an acoustic piano not only decreases in volume, but also gradually changes in color to a softer tone. The SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine replicates this natural decay, just as in an acoustic grand.

The HP302 has a PHAII keyboard with Escapement, which reproduces the natural playing feel found in grand pianos, in a compact, high-quality cabinet. This amazing keyboard technology offers the same natural response as a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower range and lighter touch in the upper, and with lighter resistance on pianissimo passages and stronger resistance on fortissimo just like a well-maintained acoustic grand. It comes with a metronome function and 3-track recorder to help you make progress. The HP302 also supports the “Classic Position” which creates a piano-like appearance, and comes with 3 pedals with traditional designs, sturdy front legs and convenient music rest with music Holders. It has Centralized Control Panel with dedicated buttons assures intuitive operations. By connecting two headphones, two players can practice independently at the same time. The “Twin Piano” feature is convenient for one-on-one lessons. The maximum polyphony of 128 is more than enough for even the most complex pieces. The HP302 is available in gorgeous wood cabinets with Rosewood or Satin Black finishes.
