Unrivaled RD performance.
The RD-2000 EX stands as the crowning achievement of Roland’s RD series, encapsulating five decades of piano innovation in a high-end instrument designed for modern musicians. It boasts two separate sound engines that deliver top-tier audio quality, paired with an enhanced hammer-action keyboard for superior playability. Additionally, it features advanced controller capabilities that allow you to shape sounds and seamlessly integrate both software and hardware synthesizers through an intuitive, user-friendly interface.
Premium V-Piano expression.
The RD-2000 EX boasts a sound engine driven by V-Piano technology, our renowned modeling method that captures the intricate sound and responsive touch of an acoustic piano with remarkable precision. Its high-speed DSP overcomes the limitations of sample-based systems, delivering authentic response, boundless expression, and complete polyphony. A diverse range of ready-to-use presets is available, but you can customize even more. The built-in Piano Designer tools let you tweak the tuning of individual notes, personalize tonal characteristics, and create unique instruments that can’t exist in the physical world.
Pre-installed V-Piano Expansions.
Beyond the main V-Piano instrument, the RD-2000 EX enhances your creativity with two V-Piano Expansion packs. Perfect for solo and group performances, the German Concert expansion provides a flexible new sound inspired by renowned concert grand pianos. Meanwhile, the brand-new Essential Upright expansion introduces a more personal sound with the characteristic tones and special spatial quality of a high-end upright piano.
SuperNATURAL EPs.
The RD-2000 EX features a wide array of legendary electric pianos, all driven by Roland’s acclaimed SuperNATURAL engine. Additionally, it includes a faithful reproduction of the RD-1000, the pioneering instrument that kicked off the RD series in 1986, as well as the MKS-20, a classic sound module that has been integral to many hits since the mid-’80s. A variety of vintage-style effects add unique character, including precise replicas of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal and the Roland SDD-320 Dimension D studio rack unit.
Sounds for every musical style.
The RD-2000 EX goes beyond being a mere piano; it offers more than 1100 SuperNATURAL-powered sounds suitable for any musical genre. You can access Virtual ToneWheel organs inspired by the VK series, featuring a rotary effect and genuine drawbar control through the panel sliders. It also provides both contemporary and classic synths for electronic music textures. Additionally, you can experiment with a variety of other styles using clavs, harpsichords, and other keyboard instruments, as well as orchestral strings, brass, world sounds, and more.
Expand your possibilities.
On the Roland Axial website, you can access authentic RD sound libraries that can be loaded into the RD-2000’s two expansion slots. You have the option to install sounds from earlier RD models such as the RD-500, RD-600, and RD-700 series. Alternatively, you can broaden your creative options with the RD-EXP05 Virtual ToneWheel Organ and RD-EXP06 Analog/Digital Vintage Synth collections.
Command the stage.
Packed with a wide range of controller functionalities, the RD-2000 EX excels at managing a complex performance rig. The interface boasts numerous knobs and sliders for immediate manual adjustments, with LED indicators on the knobs providing real-time status feedback and fine-tuning. You can utilize eight assignable zones to allocate sounds across various key ranges or blend up to eight sound layers. Additionally, its Scenes feature lets you store 100 snapshots of your keyboard configurations, which can be easily accessed with a single touch.
Seamless software integration.
The RD-2000 EX comes equipped with a USB audio/MIDI interface and is compatible with Apple MainStage, enabling you to integrate virtual instruments and studio tracks with the RD’s internal sounds.

Besides the USB audio/MIDI interface, it also includes traditional MIDI jacks for use with your preferred hardware.
Magnificent touch and feel.
The RD-2000 EX provides exceptional playability for a stage instrument, offering an inspiring experience comparable to our top-tier grand pianos. Featuring progressive hammer action, escapement, and advanced sensor detection, the PHA-50 keyboard is designed to capture every subtlety of expressive acoustic and electric pianos. Its innovative hybrid key construction merges wood and molded materials, delivering an authentic touch and robust durability, ideal for years of live performances.
Essential accessories.
