FEATURES
-
Superior Expression
The LX-5 combines the rich, resonant sound of a premium grand piano with the immediate expression of an upright. In contrast with sampled pianos that just trigger pre-recorded sounds, Roland’s Piano Reality Modeling approach recreates every aspect of an acoustic piano’s voice for a truly immersive musical experience. -
Limitless Inspiration
Enjoy endless tonal possibilities and expressive qualities that seamlessly adapt to your playing. Gentle keystrokes produce a dignified, mellow resonance while escalating intensity results in a bright tone that mirrors your dynamic touch. There’s no limit to the performance at your command. -
True to Your Touch
To develop proper techniques, there’s no room for compromise regarding the keyboard action. An authentic weighted response allows more nuanced control during your most demanding technical pieces. The innovative PHA-50 hybrid keyboard puts the feel of premium acoustic piano keys under your fingers, combined with durability that will not let you down. -
Shape Your Environment
Want to hear your performance from a studio, lounge, concert hall, or cathedral? Instantly transport yourself to four immersive environments with Piano Reality Ambience projected from the Piano Reality Projection four-speaker sound system. Or use headphones to envelop yourself in beautiful music without disturbing others around you. -
Design Forte
Whether it’s the star of the room or neatly tucked into a corner, the LX-5’s compact design blends with nearly any space. Classic upright styling makes a striking addition to a range of home décor styles. Want your piano on an upper floor or in a basement? The LX-5 arrives in two boxes for easy installation on any level. -
Personalize the Sound
If you want to tweak the LX-5’s tone, there’s no need to call a piano technician. Easily adjust the tonal character through elements like string tuning and temperament, resonance, keyboard sensitivity, and more. -
Digital Repertoire
Spark creativity and sharpen skills with enhanced features only available with a Roland digital piano. Access digital scores, play with your favorite tunes, and dive deeper into settings by pairing the piano with the Roland Piano App and other music apps via Bluetooth.
