Overview

Great sound in a compact cabinet.

The RP501R digital upright home piano is an ideal first piano, and yet it's ready to support you as you get more serious. It offers a wealth of practice-friendly features to suit developing players, with onboard rhythm accompaniment and Bluetooth connectivity to iPad/Android piano apps. The Roland RP501R also satisfies discerning players with its dynamic keyboard feel and authentic, responsive sounds. Combining premium features, a competitive price and a compact-yet-robust cabinet, the Roland RP501R is ready to join your family.

Stay Inspired With Authentic Piano Sound and Expressive Feel
A sound engine powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL technology delivers the tone you expect from a premium acoustic grand piano, while an array of built-in speakers fills the room. As your style develops, the Ivory Feel PHA-4 keyboard responds to the nuances of your touch, while the Progressive Damper Action pedal lets you perform traditional techniques with all the feel of an acoustic pianist.

305 Tones, 72 Backing Styles and Educational Features
While the RP501R upright captures the authentic sound of a traditional acoustic piano, it also offers over 300 additional sounds to help you get creative. Practice sessions are even more appealing with the onboard Rhythm feature, which lets you play along with your choice of 72 ensemble backing styles as the band follows your changes. Plus, Bluetooth MIDI and USB connectivity to your tablet or smartphone gives access to a world of great piano apps, such as Roland's Piano Partner 2, which displays internal songs as sheet music and gets your notation reading up to speed.

Travels Light and Allows Practice When It Suits You
Acoustic pianos can be heavy and costly to maintain, and if you want to play at night, you may be bothering other people close by. The Roland RP501R digital console home piano is the solution to all these problems. Weighing just 90 lb., it’s easily moved by two adults, while a space-saving cabinet depth of just 17" won’t swamp your home. The advanced digital sound engine will never need tuning either, saving you time and money. And if inspiration strikes at midnight, controllable volume and a headphones option will keep the neighbors happy as you lose yourself in the rich, immersive sound of Roland's Headphones 3D Ambience effect.

Kick-Start Your Piano Journey With Practice-Friendly Features
The Roland RP501R is full of additional features that make practice a pleasure. An onboard metronome improves your sense of timing before you assess your progress with the onboard recorder. Audio and MIDI playback (from USB memory) lets you jam along with your favorite songs as they play through the piano’s speakers, while Twin Piano mode avoids the grind of solitary practice, allowing you to play in the same key range side by side with a duet partner or teacher.
