Flagship Model That Offers the Ultimate in Piano Tone and Expressivity

The look and sound are pure, natural, and timeless, but inside the wood cabinetry is the most advanced technology on the home-piano market. The new HP-307 takes a giant leap forward with the advent of Roland’s SuperNATURAL® Piano sound engine, a breakthrough technology that offers unprecedented sound, response, and feel. The piano tone changes seamlessly and naturally based on touch and key range, with perfectly smooth decay. The HP-307 is equipped with a PHA III keyboard, which delivers enhanced expression and superior rapid keystroke performance. The combination of PHA III and SuperNATURAL Piano faithfully translates every nuance into accurate, natural sound. The HP-307 is available in three colors: an elegant polished ebony finish, traditional rosewood finish, or cool satin black finish. The innovative Individual Twin Piano feature allows side-by-side practice or performance. The 3-track recorder enables you to record your performance and will also be a great help when practicing right or left hand parts individually.

SuperNATURAL Piano
The HP-307 is based on Roland’s new SuperNATURAL Piano engine — a breakthrough technology derived from the flagship V-Piano®, as well as 88-key stereo multisampling. SuperNATURAL Piano brings a new level of authentic sound and natural performance to the digital domain. Roland’s engineers relentlessly analyzed the complex, ever-changing characteristics of concert grand pianos, faithfully capturing and reproducing the tonal variations based on the velocity of each keystroke. Three key elements have been dramatically enhanced: velocity response, note decay and key-range behavior. The end result is an incredibly expressive and authentic sound that blurs the line between digital and acoustic.

True Touch into True Sound with PHA III
Inherited from Roland’s flagship V-Piano, the HP-307’s PHA III Keyboard with Escapement offers maximum comfort, playability, and response. PHA III improves key repetition. The combination of PHA III and SuperNATURAL piano faithfully translates the most subtle performance nuances into natural, accurate sound. The keyboard expresses the player’s articulation perfectly from delicate to full-impact, as well as each independent note in rapid succession ― including sustained tones. The escapement mechanism recreates the authentic “click feel” of a grand-piano keyboard, which particularly enhances expression when playing pianissimo. The keyboard also features Roland’s acclaimed Ivory Feel ― a comfortable and realistic moisture-absorbent material that prevents slipping from perspiration during performance.

Classic Cabinetry
The HP-307 is available in gorgeous wood cabinets with a traditional rosewood finish, cool satin black finish, or the beautiful, luxurious Polished Ebony finish. The HP-307 offers a Classic Position key lid that can be positioned to conceal the control panel, as well as elegant and solid front legs, classically shaped triple pedals and a convenient music score holder on music stopper.

“Piano Designer” Sound Customization
For those who wish to customize the piano sound to suit their personal taste, the Piano Designer feature allows friendly access to a variety of tone-shaping controls. Fine adjustments, with visual confirmation from Graphic LCD display, enable you to get the sound qualities you want, such as Cabinet Resonance or the effects of different positioning of the “virtual” grand piano lid. Create the perfect custom sound, and save it for instant recall.

Two Pianos in One!
For side-by-side practice or performance, you can divide the keyboard into left and right zones with Twin Piano mode, which allows two people to play the same range of pitches. It’s like having two independent pianos spread across one keyboard. You can choose to have the two zones blended or separated (Individual mode) so sound of the right-hand keyboard zone is heard only from the right speaker and the sound of the left-hand zone is heard only in the left speaker. Similarly, with headphones, you can blend the zones in both headphones or separate them with the two headphone outputs.

Extra Enjoyment with Play-Along Backing Tracks
The HP-307 is packed with a library of play-along songs, from classical to jazz. You can also play songs in a variety of formats, including commercially available SMF music files or audio files stored on your USB flash memory (sold separately), and audio CDs*. With built-in songs and SMF music files, you can designate which parts to play back. Play an orchestra backing part and play the piano part on top of it with your right hand to create a powerful ensemble performance. Since you can alter the key and tempo independently, you can slow down the playback of songs you are learning, or change the key of the song depending on the vocal range. The possibilities are endless. You can also use the Center Cancel function to minimize the melody part on an audio CD, and play along with one hand. You can also jam or sing with your favorite band.

*Optional CD-01A is required.

Assembly

The piano comes flat-packed and is very easy to assemble. The electronics and keyboard are fixed in - all you have to do is assemble the stand. There are only 4 screws that fix the stand to the keyboard and 4 more to fix the stand together.

I do advise two people to do the job though - purely because of the keyboard's weight - It is heavy and safer to have a helping hand when lifting it on to the stand.

Reviews

These last 3 weeks I’ve been playing my Roland HP307 a lot.

I’m not a pianist and never had piano lessons (apart from self-studying), so
I won’t be able to say whether the key touch is good or not. For me the keys
weight is very close to what I’ve experienced on acoustic pianos before and
dynamics are very easy to produce. However I studied classical music and
instruments (mainly the violin but also classic guitar among others), so I feel
comfortable saying that the sound is as natural as it gets which was, after all,
what I was looking for.

There’s a big backlit LCD display which I really don’t care about, hundreds of
great tones I only played once to see what was there, thousands of settings
inside the “Piano Designer” thingy which lets you configure your own grand
piano which is essentially BORING to me.

The marketing feature I like best is the key cover that you can slide half way
hiding all the 21st century buttons, LED lights and LCD displays when you’re
playing the default grand piano with default sound settings that is activated
by default when you press the on/off button.
