Sound engines:

• ZEN-Core: A synthesis engine that provides over 3,000 additional non-piano sounds, including organs, synths, strings, brass, and more, allowing for a wide range of musical styles.

Keyboard action:

• PHA-4 Standard Keyboard: An 88-note keyboard with progressive hammer action and Ivory Feel keys. This provides a realistic and responsive touch, mimicking the feel of a traditional acoustic grand piano.

Design and build:

• Portable and Lightweight: The RD-88 EX features a slim, rugged, and compact design, making it easy to transport to and from gigs.
• Built-in speakers: An onboard stereo speaker system provides room-filling sound, which is convenient for home practice, rehearsals, and small venues where an external amplifier is not needed.

Performance and connectivity:

• Zones and Scenes: The keyboard has three zones, allowing you to create complex layers and splits with internal and external sounds. You can save these custom settings in "Scenes" for quick recall during a performance.
• Audio/MIDI interface: A built-in USB audio/MIDI interface makes it easy to integrate with a computer and a digital audio workstation (DAW). It also includes a dedicated control mode for Apple MainStage.
• Inputs: A microphone input and a line input are available for singing or playing along with other audio sources.
• Onboard features: Other features include built-in rhythm patterns for jamming, assignable control knobs, and pitch/modulation wheels.

Upgrade from the RD-88:
The RD-88 EX is an upgraded version of the original RD-88. Owners of the original RD-88 can purchase the EX software upgrade through Roland Cloud to access the new SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion and the updated feature set.
