Wow, I’m totally captivated! I run out of words to describe what I feel about the new Roland RD-700GX stage piano..

- Stunning 88-key stereo multi-sampled piano sounds
- 88-key weighted keyboards: PHA II “Ivory Feel” with Escapement
- SuperNATURAL electric pianos for unprecedented realism
- Audio playback of WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files via USB memory; easy on stage control with Audio Key feature
- Piano Designer function for creating the perfect custom instruments, plus eight multi-effects processors 
- Three MIDI outputs, multiple zones for master-control functionality

I love the grand piano sounds and hammer action! Sounds like a very viable alternative to a grand Steinway. I think if I get my hands on this baby I’d be locking myself away forever and not turn up to work :p

(pardon my geekiness )
