Roland on a Roll





I have always been a big fan of Roland keyboards. This is a world renown company known for producing some of the best and most popular keyboards on the market. They really took things to a new level with their Super Natural technology. Of course there are several keyboards that feature this technology but one in particular that I like is the Roland RD 700NX, this digital piano is top flight in my book. I first want to talk about the Super Natural technology this keyboard is equipped with since this brings such a new element to the world of digital sound. When we think about various acoustic instruments such as violins, and pianos, we recognize that they have unique performance characteristics. There are many different factors that can affect the sound of these instruments from the way it was made to its current condition. With the Super Natural you get more than just a single sound, effect, or operation. Since each type of instrument whether it’s a string, wind, or even keyboard all subtly shapes sound in its own unique way. As most audio professionals and musicians know, particular characteristics enable different forms of tonal expressiveness. Super Natural gives you the ability to shape the physical parameters of virtual instruments in organic and expressive ways. Now how about that for cutting edge technology. This technology is blazing a new path in a world of electronic musical expression. Now Roland came with the RD 700NX which raises the bar for on stage performance with its amazing sound. touch and control. Together with its advance Super Natural sound engine this keyboard can prove to be an important addition to your studio or live sound show.

  1. Hey Brian, I've always been a huge fan of Roland! I had a fantom x for years. The only problem was when I was younger, I never understood why the sounds never were natural. They came out like an instant puzzle piece and even applying velocity didn't do the trick. Now we know that when you physically record an instrument you capture a particular timbre from the room and how its made. Now that fantom is coming up with innovative ways to make it more natural, us as producers can save money and open up new doors for creativity.

  2. This is pretty interesting; I'm definitely going to have to check this keyboard out. I have a Micro Korg myself and have never really been technical savvy when it came to keyboards, but I'm interested in hearing how the RD 700NX sounds.
