The Roland RMP-5 Advanced Rhythm Trainer with Built-In
Sounds.
The RolanD RMP-5. The RMP-3 made headlines when it
was announced in early 2005. Today Roland builds on its winning
rhythm line with the RMP-5. Sharing a few key features in common
with the popular RMP-3, the RMP-5 has a convenient one-piece molded
body with integrated pad and brain, along with a great-feeling,
tunable mesh drumhead. The RMP5 strides to the front of the class,
however, with its 40-plus onboard PCM sounds (including snare
drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments; the RMP-3 has no
built-in sampled sounds) plus an external dual trigger input so you
can add a kick and cymbal pad for drum kit practice. The RMP-5 also
features an advanced, expanded Rhythm Coach mode.
The main features of the Roland RMP-5 include:
- PCM sound engine with more than 40 sounds onboard

controllers e.g. CY-8 and KD-8
