Roland RD 300SX

Description

The Roland RD300SX provides the same stunning 88-note multi-sampled piano found in the higher model, plus 128 voice polyphonic performance, and expanded soundsets. The RD300SX’s feature set is pure heavyweight, but physically the RD300 is one of the lightest 88-note pianos in its class — easy to transport to any gig.

The Roland RD300SX is discontinued. Check out the new model RD300GX

No-Compromise Sound & Feel

With Roland’s most powerful sound engine at its core, the RD-00SX delivers heavyweight specs in lightweight body. Sharing much in common with its high-end sibling, the RD-700SX. The RD300SX offers 128-voice polyphony, 88-note individually sampled grand piano waveforms, and hundreds of additional sounds and rhythms — from jazz to techno.

Compact Progressive Hammer-Action

The RD300SX features Roland’s Compact Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard, which simulates a real grand piano by providing a heavier touch in the lower octaves that gets increasingly lighter in the upper range. This keyboard has many of the same design elements as Roland’s acclaimed Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard, but its keyboard-action mechanism is much more compact and lightweight.

Simple Navigation

Players will appreciate the RD300SX’s ease of operation and convenient hands-on controls. Dedicated buttons and knobs are provided for instant access to the piano sound, EQ settings, and dual/split keyboard setups. No searching through menus or submenus to find the most common functions; everything you need is within quick reach. Thanks to the handy Setup mode, you can quickly store and recall parameter changes with the touch of a button. A pitch bend/modulation lever has been added for expressive control. Operation is clean and streamlined so you can focus on playing, not programming.

High-Quality Effects

For subtle sweetening or complete transformation, the RD-300SX offers a wide lineup of 78 multi-effect types to choose from, plus independent effects such as reverb, 2-band digital EQ, and Sound Control. Add sparkle to your grand piano sound, deep-fry an electric piano, add depth and spatial movement to strings — the choices are vast.

Lightweight, Compact

It has an impressive, heavy-duty body (with sophisticated black brushed metal finish) but the RD300SX is actually one of the lightest 88-note piano in its class. At less than 35 pounds (15.5kg), it’s ultra easy to transport — yet built tough enough for the rigors of the road.

USB MIDI

Connect the RD300SX to computers via USB port for one-cable MIDI communication. Standard MIDI in/out ports connectors are provided as well. Master, slave, or solo — the RD300SX can be played as a standalone instrument, driven from other MIDI gear, or used as the master controller for an entire MIDI setup.
