The Roland RD-08 is a strong and affordable 88-key stage piano. From Roland's revered RD line of stage keyboards, the 08 gives users the power of immediate live performance features; effects, EQ, and layer adjustment are all just a knob adjustment away. However, these live performance features don't put the RD-08 in a box, this keyboard feels just as at home in a studio as it does on stage. With both 5-pin and USB MIDI capabilities, the RD-08 can control virtual and hardware instruments. Two internal speakers also allow for standalone play with no external speakers or cables required. Just plug it in and go! Packed with over 3000 presets including beautiful pianos, poppy EP's, and even textural synths, the RD-08 fits right into any studio, stage, or living room.
