Roland HP704 Digital Piano (White)

Descrizione

The Roland HP704 is a combination of clean design and a meticulous sound and playability you would expect of models from a higher price range. Specially developed by Roland, the piano sounds are generated by the SuperNATURAL modulator and controlled by the PHA-50 keyboard and three pedals to produce all of the expression, dynamics and speed of an acoustic upright piano. When compared to its smaller sibling, the HP702, the Roland HP704 comes with a refined keyboard and broader sound system.

Roland HP704: Powerful Speaker System

The sound of the HP704 is delivered by four speakers divided into two pairs that use Roland's very own Acoustic Projection. This reproduces the lower and higher registers with the same tonality and character as that of an acoustic piano. The headphone output operates with the same system so that, whether silently rehearsing with headphones or performing using the speaker system, you get the same faithful level of acoustic emulation.

Bluetooth Pairing and Other Connections

You can play along with music by simply pairing a Bluetooth device with the HP704 or connecting via the aux-input and playing back using the built-in speakers. The Bluetooth connection is also useful when following online tutorials but also when using the various apps available directly from Roland including Piano Every Day. If you want a little more volume than the on board speakers allow, a line output is fitted for direct connection to a mixer or amplifier. To make recordings or playback MIDI and audio files, just slot your USB stick into the USB Memory port or connect directly to your computer and use the HP704 as a MIDI controller for virtual instruments.

For the Parents

In designing the HP704, Roland have spared a lot of thought for the parents whose children will be moulding their craft on this instrument. As such, the volume of both the headphone output and speakers on this digital piano can be set at a specific limit while the opening and closing of the piano lid has been cleverly connected to the on/off switch. Also, the TwinPiano function splits the keyboard into two sounds to make practicing exercises a little more fun while specially developed Roland apps enable study, not just by teaching demo songs, but also an understanding of the accompanying sheet music as the songs are played.
