To compliment the SuperNATURAL Piano engine in the HP507 and HP505, Roland has recently developed the Acoustic Projection sound system. Derived from the impressive multi-channel sound technology found in the V-Piano® Grand, the Acoustic Projection system delivers a rich, multi-dimensional sound field that recreates the vibrant and enveloping experience of playing an acoustic grand piano.

The HP500 series includes many premium features that further enhance the playing experience, including Roland’s renowned Ivory Feel keyboard and a progressive damper action pedal. All models offer a LCD and intuitive panel layout for user-friendly operation, as well as onboard three-track recording and audio recording/playback with optional USB flash memory. Flexible audio playback controls such as Center Cancel, transpose, and tempo change are perfect for practice and playing along fun.
