The Roland HP503 Rosewood 88-Note Digital Piano brings the SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine, and an Ivory Feel-S keyboard with Escapement, which reproduces the natural playing feel found in grand pianos. The HP503 achieves low power consumption while delivering a dynamic piano sound that is above its class.
The HP503 incorporates Roland's SuperNATURAL Piano technology for seamless velocity response, natural note decay, and authentic key-range behaviour to reproduce perfect piano sound and expression. In addition to the selection of onboard grand-piano sounds, the HP503 features a newly added Early Piano category containing four fortepiano variations and two harpsichord variations. Masterpieces composed by maestros such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin can be played with the original sounds from the period.
The HP503 features new Ivory Feel-S Keyboard with Escapement. With the same progressive hammer action and escapement as the top-line PHA III, it offers unmatched expression and performance authenticity. It also provides incredibly fast key-repetition action. The surface of each white key replicates the unique appearance and comfortable feel of real ivory keys. The keys are constructed of a one-piece proprietary material that provides excellent moisture absorbency.
The built-in recorder lets you capture your performances as audio and/or MIDI data — a convenient feature for pianists as well as students who want to evaluate their playing. Connect an external digital music player to the input jacks, play a song file, and the HP503 can transpose it in real time. You can even minimise the melody of an audio song using Centre Cancel function. Play along and capture your performance as audio data. Recorded audio data can be saved onto USB Memory, and copied to an external computer for making audio CDs or for uploading to the Internet.
The simple and intuitive control panel affords quick and easy access to the HP503's numerous features and applications. LCD panel provides the ideal visual interface with the instrument.
