Roland F701 Light Oak Digital Piano

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Roland F701 is a cutting edge piano aimed at players looking for an authentic acoustic piano experience in a compact size.

The sleek slimmed-down design will suit those with limited space or even those who prefer a modern design. However, F701 is slimmed down in appearance only, as it is full of quality features and innovative design.

With a stunning graded hammer action PHA-4 keyboard that interacts with the realistic SuperNATURAL sound engine, F701 will feel natural to experienced players. Plus with the Headphones 3D Ambience technology that brings playing with headphones to life and the Piano Every Day and Piano Designer apps, the F701 is an excellent platform for beginners to learn on.

Features We Love:

SuperNATURAL

With acoustic instruments sampled in high-quality audio, SuperNATURAL gives you a full and rich tone that only acoustic instruments possess. However, while most manufacturers settle for giving you purely sample-based sounds, Roland recognised that there is still something lacking from an acoustic instrument sampled at different velocities.

The subtle characteristics created from moving parts, and by strings and notes that resonate even when not being struck, create a much bigger picture than what's captured with audio sampling. These intricate characteristics have been synthetically recreated to enhance the character of each voice and the result is a rich and organic tone that's full of character and charm.

Piano Every Day

The Piano Every Day app is available for iOS and Android and is designed to be engaging for young, new and experienced players. The app encourages daily playing and is host to simple training games, sheet music and other features that help you learn, record and review your playing. It's an excellent way to learn and improve your technique, and because your piano can wirelessly connect to your device via Bluetooth, it's easy to set up and get started.

Piano Designer

Roland's Piano Designer app for iOS and Android can also connect to your piano via Bluetooth. The app allows you to dive into the SuperNATURAL sound engine to tweak its characteristics to suit your taste. Elements like opening up the lid, hammer noise and damper resonance can be changed to your preference and you'll find they can really bring your piano to life in your home. This can also be an excellent educational tool for kids.

3D Ambience

The FP-30X also features Roland's 3D Ambience technology taken from their flagship home piano models. This technology realistically emulates the acoustic response of an acoustic piano inside your headphones, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the sterile playing experience some digital pianos offer when using headphones. This is an excellent feature for both learners and experienced players looking to practice without bothering the household.
