Does Roland have something better than the V-Piano in 2024?

This is the German Concert piano expansion that resembles the legendary Roland V-Piano. It is the only piano sound that has full polyphony in the RD 2000 and it is not based on samples. This expansion uses physical modeling and is very impressive in my opinion.

Great playing and stuff! I remember those times, starting in 2010, when I followed and listened to every demo from VPiano, it was incredibly interesting. Now listening to the RD-2000 I have a little mixed feelings... the feeling that it doesn’t sound like the original V-Piano, but borrowed primary features.

Come on Roland! Update the RD-2000 stage piano, it’s been looooooong over due.

Have you updated the firmware? It has version 2 now. If you haven’t please visit Roland website

it's not the only piano sound in the 2000 that has full polyphony. There are 17 modeled pianos with full piano. And, yes, I have the german grand, and it's amazing.

Just got my Fantom updated to EX, which includes this V-Piano. Couldn’t stop playing for about 2 hours. I think it is awesome. 🎉

Fantom already had the V piano sound engine before the EX came out.

And you think it sounded like the real V-Piano?

@@rolandv-piano I have no idea, as I did not play the real V-Piano yet. To be honest, sometimes it sounds great, but than after I play for some time it sounds really wired... even if I did not change anything in the sound settings. I should build a new house and get some space for a Steinway grand piano ;-)

Assessing acoustic piano sounds can be so subjective. Sometimes I think others are more “ear candy”, but the V-Piano models are (to me) the most consistently responsive and satisfying to play.

V-piano reacts better to what you play. It feels like a real instrument.

I like that German Grand, use it all the time on my RD-2000. Lots of variations of it included plus very customizable if you wanna tweak. Something I don't think I've heard others talk about is how this German Grand compares to the newest Pianoteq piano sounds.

I own an RD2000 digital piano, and while using headphones provides a great sound experience, connecting Yamaha HS7 speakers, which are widely regarded as top-tier studio monitors, yields disappointing results. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve the sound quality?

@rolandv-piano 2 ай бұрын

You might have to pan the left and right channels of your instrument otherwise you’re listening in mono.

I was looking at Fp-90x and thought about how limited it was for 2k. Then I looked at Rd 2000 and thought wow this expansion is too amazing, but for 2.5k I'm not I'm not impressed with any of the other sounds. Now.. I'm going to just pull the trigger on the Roland fantom 8. For 4k and the expansion that gives you so many iconic awesome synths and this amazing v piano. I don't see why I should limit myself since I work in a studio setting.

You can find Roland RD-2000s for less than 2k if you buy used.

@cremersalex 2 ай бұрын

Nice but the piano sounds too bright (probably for stage use). Their LX line has a new modelling engine and I'm hoping it will find its way into their next stage piano (RD-3000?)

That would be cool. LX models sound great!

So you shell out for the RD2000, then to get a decent piano sound you then have to add on another £145 to get this dated keyboard up to spec with a quality piano sample?? Dont think so, not when Nord offer free lifetime updates of all their piano sounds on their keyboards. You should be offering this free to rd2000 customers.

You can get the same action on a Kawai with excellent piano sounds in my opinion for a 1/4 of the price.

@jonos138 4 күн бұрын

@@bobaasmr9347Thats very true. I think the nord high cost is because of the Kawai keybed and the access to their instrument samples online, that you can download into the keyboard itself. As you say, tge Nord is prone to keybed problems, but so is the Kawai which makes sence as thats whats in the Nord grand. Seems to be a common problem with many makes. Roland seem to be the only ones with less problems imo.

I don’t like the Kawai keybeds. The action doesn’t feel natural to me.
