Roland HP704 Digital Piano
Piano Sound
SuperNatural Modeling
Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling digitally recreates the complex interactions within an acoustic piano, going beyond static samples to produce sound. This technology simulates dynamic harmonic behavior, various resonances, and key-off characteristics in real-time, resulting in a highly expressive and realistic piano sound that responds naturally to your playing. Unlike sample-based instruments, it continuously generates sound based on your touch, offering a nuanced and authentic playing experience.

Featuring 7 dedicated instrument Categories: Piano, Electric Piano, Strings, Organ, Upright Piano, Classical Piano, and Do Re Mi with a total of 59 sounds. Nine different drum sets (drum machines), and 256 general midi 2 instruments featuring a wide range of instruments from: Piano, electric piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Orchestra, pad synth sounds, sound effects and more!

Registration Button

Split/Dual Button
Split Play
The “Split Play” button enables you to assign different sounds to the left and right sides of the keyboard, with the division occurring at a designated “split point” of your choosing. You can also change the volume balance between the two tones and the octave at which the tone is being played. This option can be selected on the piano or through the Roland Piano App.
Dual Play
You can play two tones simultaneously from a single key. This function is called “Dual Play” or Layering. Further customization of the layering feature can be achieved by adjusting the individual volume of the 2 tones and changing the Octave at which the tone is played at.
Transpose Button
Transpose the keyboard in Semitones so you can play in different keys with out changing your fingering!
Piano Keyboard
The Roland 88-note PHA-50 keyboard with Escapement and Ivory Feel provides a responsive acoustic piano touch, replicating the subtle “click” of hammer action and the tactile sensation of ivory keys for enhanced playability. This weighted and graded piano action is a great replacement for a traditional smaller acoustic upright piano.
The Pedals
The Roland Progressive Damper Action Pedal offers continuous and nuanced sustain control, responding like an acoustic piano pedal with lighter resistance initially and heavier resistance as it’s pressed further.
