- Since 1986, Roland stage pianos have transformed live performances worldwide. The latest flagship evolution of the 40-year lineage, the RD-2000 EX, integrates expanded sound offerings with the pinnacle of RD technology to elevate every performance.
The RD-2000 EX boasts dual sound engines, one based on V-Piano modeling and the acclaimed SuperNATURAL sound engine that combines multi-sampling and advanced modeling for a nuanced, responsive piano.
Two expansions come pre-loaded- German Concert V-Piano Expansion 01 and Essential Upright V-Piano Expansion 02. The German Concert expansion provides the resonant sound of a famous concert grand piano. The Essential Upright expansion adds a more intimate sonic flavor with a high-end upright piano's distinctive tones and unique spatial quality.
In this video, you’ll hear examples of the expressive sounds within the RD-2000 EX stage piano.

As an owner of a lot of Roland gear and a big fan of the company, piano wise I'm happy enough with my RD600. Built like a tank and will still out last new tech.
For those wondering, this just has V-Piano sound upgrades, the rest you can probably find in Zenology (so no real change).
A midi controller and a smartphone cover the full gamut of all Synths in existence. If you want to be pedantic, there's no reason for anyone to buy hardware of any kind anymore.
And why so many musicians prefer hardware devices to software+controllers. Including me. @@ARCSYS4049
@@ARCSYS4049 I find it easier to pick up hardware and just play
@@ARCSYS4049 Unhinged statement. Is this satire?
Playing skills is much better than the piano itself
I have an original RD2000 expanded, there are hundreds of pianos included, and many of them sound excellent and can be modified to your taste. I've compared them to Kawai, Nord and Yamaha (I've had them all) and the RD offers the same (if not better) sound quality, unlimited polyphony, great keybed (built like a tank) and versatility. Price-wise I would say that this is still one of the best stage pianos available. The only con is its weight, because it's on the heavy side.
@@borispradel1037 you must work for Roland. Yes the RD2000 has hundreds of pianos included and they all sound basically the same with maybe a slight eq adjustment. Throwing thousands of sounds at you has been their game forever now and it's getting old. Their pianos can sound fine in a live mix but solo they are severely lacking.
@@blakeabernathy4051 Yeah, I wish I worked for Roland 😂. If you think they sound basically the same you must have issues with your ears. In any case, an instrument is only as good as the one who plays it.
@@borispradel1037if it’s built like a tank it shall be heavy
Im sure
@blakeabernathy4051 doesn’t have any hearing problems, many professional musicians share the same thoughts. It is clearly one modeled ac piano eq tweaked. The upright sounds different though, maybe Roland put a little effort on that
For anyone that has already purchased the German expansion like I did, I just received a coupon from Roland (on 7/24) to buy the EX upgrade for 75% off ($199 down to $49) effectively just the difference, which is nice to see.
How did you receive it?
@@robertpernett9860 I received an e-mail from Roland that came with a unique code for the 75% discount on the EX upgrade. I had bought the German expansion direct from Roland Cloud earlier this year.
I received an e-mail from Roland with a unique coupon code for 75% off the EX expansion. I had purchased the German expansion via Roland Cloud earlier in 2024.
Nice to Know, I would like to receive that cupón, but not sure how to, I purchased the the German Expansion 3 weeks ago.
As you already have the German expansion the only extra sounds you'll receive for $49 are the 14 SB sounds, the additional upright piano sounds.
When Roland wants to give us a nice sound for home or stage in a keyboard, then I always accept it for me like my favourite stage keyboard, for everything, for every stuff, forever.
You rock Roland, good job.
You can't go wrong with an RD!
Even the RD-88/RD-08 The more affordable versions.
Ya, even the RD 700 got the supernatural pianos already. It has the volume control for layers too, It's a great old stage piano.
Well just a superb instrument from Roland….the. Piano sounds,and others electric and organ…sounds GREAT
Beautiful sound!
5:05 SB03: GENTLE DREAM... Wonderfull! The best Piano sound of Roland RD2000!!! I love it!!
wtf! This board came out in 2017 and all you did was add a piano expansion. Did you at least lower the price?
🤣🤣🤣 welcome to the world of Roland! this company has become one big money pit. I made the mistake of buying one of their VSTs after owning an RD-88... not only do they recycle all of the sounds in all of the instruments, so there's an irritating amount of overlap, but with their vague marketing you never know what you're getting. A word to the wise, if you own ZenCore do not buy the XV-5080 nor the D-50 VSTs. then there's the matter of all of the SR-JV 80 expansions being sold a separate vsts for the same price, whereas Korg, intelligently, packaged the classic keyboard vsts with expansions included.... Again Roland=out of touch money pit
I think the main feature is a higher price compared to the regular RD 2000.
+700$ Crazy.
@@Tutnese lol!! Seriously!! I bought a Nord and never looked back. I had this board before but thank God i sold it.
Antique furniture gets increasingly up-cycled these days. Rather than replace the 2017 vintage RD2000 with a new product (minus the silly left hand end section) it looks like Roland are wringing out as much as they can from this slab (and its little cousins) as part of their jumble sale.
yeah! and the acoustic sounds feels like the same thing of older gigs
Nailed some points there. Was hoping for a new EP, Wurly, Clav and various organ engines and an update to the UI. Instead we get the same hardware with just two preinstalled expansions. 🤦♂️
Amazing playing man great artist 👏🏼👏🏼🔆
Korg did the same thing with the Kronos from 2012 thru 2022 and nobody complained (Kronos, Kronos X, Kronos 2, Kronos LS...) Korg owners had the option to buy the upgraded sounds without buying the new board. Yamaha has done something similar with the MODX+ and the Montage M and I don’t see anyone complaining even though you cannot upgrade the old model and will need to buy the new keyboard if you want to have the new additional features. Yamaha doesn’t give the consumer any software upgrade options 😢 This is just the way the industry works nowadays. We have seen it from Microsoft and Sony with their mid upgraded consoles. At least original owners from the RD2000 can upgrade just like Korg have donde since 2012.
Wonderful playing!
Thats not technic, Thats not an art, but its sheer divinity , Salute to you Sir 🙏
Tbh keeping the hardware the same makes perfect sense, it's already spot on, and upgrading the software is far more eco than pointlessly remodeling the packaging every couple of years 💪🌍 and these new VPiano sounds are outstanding.
Hoping to see them on lighter boards though as the 2000 is SO big it's really not a practical choice for solo regular gigging pianists who aren't famous enough to have roadies to help / have a spare Arnold Schwarzenegger hanging around, and these piano patches should absolutely be the standard from Roland now 👌
Yeah it’s cool to see the expansion added to the older boards. You sometimes feel slighted when you get a new board then two years later something better comes out that makes you wish you waited. 😀
Still got my MKS 20 (RD1000)
@@MarinSubasic Same here. Have you heard the RD2000 built in version? Looks like the RD88 ex has it now as well. Doubt if it’s as good as the original (especially with chorus) but if it comes close I might pension off the MKS.
Thank you for sharing very nice musical sounds here...I love specially the demo (too much short!:) with decay choir pad : 0388💞😊
That's really lovely music.
If you made a weighted 73 key version and add the organ engine from the Fantom then you'd get my money
Nord and Yamaha are way ahead in this game. I don't understand why Roland insists on not having a smaller stage piano and with an organ section. I mean, it's time they update the VR730
Magnífico...!!!
Awesome
MY DREAM 😍
Wooooow this is good!
when Roland decides to remove 10 cm from the length, the Stage will become an absolutely competitive instrument
Its been 9 years since Roland made a good arranger keyboard, is their a new one going to be released in the near future ?
What’s the fuss? Yamaha did the same essentially with the Modx and ppl barely made fuss. This is a stage keyboard that’s made to work with your software and hardware. You’re paying for the technology and connectivity moreso than the sounds. Great board to run a rig off of. This with purchased Roland cloud plugins or any other software equals a Fantom. I have a RD88 and definitely going to grab this soon. Also, Roland makes sounds that are meant to be tweaked. The presets be ok but it’s definitely a patch programmer’s brand.
You guys at Roland really need to step it up and make something innovative, like the guys that made Polaro piano. With the right software its uses and musical abilities would be limitless, an all-in-one instrument/studio.
Excellent…❤
All the piano sounds in these new keyboards just get cleaner and also sound more artificial. I believe that even the best tuned pianos are still a little out of tune and we can hear the vibration from out-of-tune pianos when we're playing them. This is what makes a piano sound "real".
So true, there’s no wood elements heard in the sound. Just a simple triad played on a real piano sounds so rich. Seems like every keyboard company wants to invent the most clean sounding piano
It sounds great but it has just 128 polyphony, a 3000 dollar board i feel should have 256 and the cost is just way too much. I’m waiting for a board like this to come out in the 1500 dollar range then i may be interested. Great playing and demo!
By the way , at @9:51 the RD piano 1 sounds like a harpsichord to me
Hmmm...I find the pianos don't have enough sustain and kind of sound like ice picks. It is typical for Roland though. I find the Montage and MODX pianos to be smoother and the Nautilus pianos to sound more real. If you want to use a laptop or ipad on stage I find Pianoteq to be a little more realistic with a lot of sustain. But to each their own.
Yes, large banks of piano samples in Nautilus, no secret.
Juno Ds Next Please 😊
I’ve been back and forth on selling my Juno DS and getting something else. 😀 It’s a great board looking back I wished the audio interface was class compliant so I could use with my iPad and record to computer without using the 3.5. I was tempted to get the fantom 07 a few times but held off as it is a lighter weight keyboard and I can play drawbar organ on it. Still looking for that one board that completes it for me. The Juno has plenty of sounds and expansions. Would be cool to run all the axial expansions from usb on it live. That would be enough of an upgrade in itself.
sounds great....what's the price on this thing?
HELP QUESTION for whoever can answer !!!
I literally just bought a used RD2000 a day ago 7/23/24.
Are these all new sounds for it in this video ?
Reading the comments, it sounds like there's only 2 new sounds.
A German one and an Essential piano ?
Why would Roland add this video of all these other sounds if not to showcase them off as all new ???
And I only spent an hour so far on the RD2000, (busy till the weekend) but for all the players who say that the sounds are terrible.... Isn't the fact that you can layer 8 sounds and EQ etc etc etc to thinkin up the final sound and pretty much make any possible sound to your liking, a really good aspect of this keyboard ?
If anyone can help me feel justified in my purchase, please do.
All I see is very negative feedback on here and how terrible the sounds are...
Thanks !!!
Have a great day !!!
:-)
The EX version only adds two new expansions, the German Concert expansion and the Essential Upright V-Piano Expansion. All the other sounds are available on the RD-2000, and the two new expansions can be purchased and added to the RD-2000 for ~$200USD.
The negative feedback is largely due to Roland releasing the same piano with two expansions included and bumping the price up an extra $100 dollars.
Hope this clears things up.
IMHO, It would have been nice if Roland had put metal ends like on the XV88, Jupiter 80, etc. Also four new distinct V Piano models. The hardware/controllers are good enough.
Where can I purchase this? Can it be delivered to Kenya, Africa? And how much does it cost?
10:45 watch out: Enzo Messina and Marco Ballarin are watching this video attentively..you dont joke around with organs ;3
I ordered it today...let see if it is worth the money. 🤞
If it isnt worth 2,5k I send it back an buy the Korg Grandstage X asap
I would love this in a lightweight version with semi weighted keys around 7 kgs.
The RD-88EX might be for you
I only use the rd2000 as a controller. So the built-in sound source is not important. So I don't feel the need to upgrade.
Is there no keyboard more advanced than the pha50?😅
❤
I'll just keep my RD 2000 it sounds just as good.
Its identical lol. Teh only difference is the german grand is loaded at factory (which I have already) and the new essential upright which WILL be available for download (paid) for the original RD2000. Everything else is identical.
Wow, doesn't sound bad at all. I wonder what else has been added....🤔
@@luthandoheshu984 Tickets to the cruise ship cocktail bar judging by the demo.
not much. The german grand is installed at factory (but thats been a paid update for the RD2000 for over 2 years), and theres a new essential upright V-Piano, which will be available for the original RD2000 as a paid download. Everything else is identical
My favorite Keybiard
Untuk keyboard seri Profesional Arranger, apakah Roland sudah mentok di E-A7?? Adakah penerusnya lagi??
Next Colaboration Roland & Dolby.
Re-eq a piano. Call it a new piano.
Sounds so artificial. With each update the piano sounds are sounding too synthetic. Just another trick up their sleeve to fool customers. Same old sounds packaged with new name EX. Nowadays all of them are going back to 80's and 90's. But the keyboards in that era were fanstastic even their hardware, the features like aftertouch and keybed feel and etc etc. Korg even forgot to put AT on their Nautilus at first...hahaha
Good sound, but the Fantom V-Piano has more potential.
Not really. Apart from the better GUI on the FANTOM, the RD2K's keyboard is better calibrated for the V.Piano than the ones on FANTOM.
Also, with this new upright model, the RD shines out against the FANTOM by having an extra piano model (an Upright to be exact).
@ablesam ,
You probably never owned Fantom.. Anyways, it's your opinion. My opinion is different.
A smartphone with a midi controller has more potential than any synth on the market. What's your point?
@ARCSYS4049 ,
Smartphone?... That definitely isn't my point. We're talking between RD or Fantom.
Very good!!! But why not a simple digital piano with only these great piano and e piano sounds, light, 73 keys and portable? No wheels, no organs, some RealTime controls for sounds, eq and effects, Little display and this good keybed
Numa x Piano 73
@@ablesamkeybed of numax73 is not so good

@@ablesam of course, personal preferences. I dislike keybed of all instruments mounting fatar tp100. I feel It fatiguing, muddy and hard to play. So also crumar Seven and dexibell (that both sound very good). Cp73 is a good instruments but nothing that can make me sell my cp4. I Have to try sv2.
@@andrealentullo6661 all the best in search of the better.
Is roland even seeing what nord is doing?
Yes, but the Roland is better than the Nord at what it does anyway so ????
@paulmapp8306 yeah talking about sound, either could win since sound is subjective. My comment is mostly referring to innovation. Clavia is really working to innovate, whilst roland seems to be happy with just extending the product life cycle. Cheers
@@josephmbiri9731 interesting. I havent seen any innovation from clavia since the first boards really. Everything else is slight changes. Thev'e been "basically" the same for 20 years from what I can see. There are certainly other brands that ARE truly innovative. Arturia, Expressive E, Waldorf for 3. Interested in how your are seeing things - different viewpoints are always usefull.
Sooooooo the same board.....😒 roland should be ashamed to put this on the market

Last 2 minutes - WOW it has NON-Piano sounds? Really?
Ok, but who's playing actually?
I bet it‘s Mr Tibbs or what his name was…the blonde Senior….he always presented the nuggets brilliantly in the past…

@@MartinSc76 thanks mate.
After some very convincing reviews I bought the RD2000 EX to test it for myself and I'm returning as it doesn't come close to my Steinway model D
Are serious?! Why even compare the two? One is an acoustic instrument that makes sound through the vibration of strings struck by hammers, which resonate within its large, meticulously crafted soundboard, creating a rich and dynamic tone. The other is designed to be small, compact and convenient to transport while attempting to imitate the acoustic original with extra features appealing for gig-musicians and studio enthusiasts that need to control other devices.
La verdad yo no veo ninguna diferencia importante en este nuevo piano de roland RD 2000 EX en comparación con el anterior RD 2000, lo que si es muy diferente es el precio excesivo y desmesurado que tiene este último, la verdad no lo compraría a no ser que lo vendan al mismo precio que el anterior.
New lunch keyboard please update
After seven years, this “update” must feel embarrasing even for Roland. Pathetic.
Nord better. I can freely download new grand pianos, organs, pads and synths and install them in the keyboard so quickly and easy. With more sound quality than this sounds.
Put a new price tag, make it 600 euros more expansive and ad two letters to the name. Pathetic.
Sorry ,
Nothing here is new !!!!
I have the rd 2000 and was expecting from Roland more then this bullshit ????
This has got to be Rolands laziest update, zero hardware difference. Didn't change the outdated screen, didn't make it compatible with zenology sounds, didn't update the mostly horrible 1100 sounds it's comes with. Literally just an ad for their latest v piano sounds.
let's be honest... since rd700nx Roland made just trash. I owned several of them (rd800,rd1000,rd2000- all of them after few weeks i sold). Mechanic since rd700nx sucks. im pianist and that old machine was nearest to the real piano play feel. I think was last one made in Japan.
Your electric pianos are a joke. cmon roland you can do better! You cant get away with always rehashing rom sounds from the 90-2k's. Update synth structure to more than 4 layers.
more velocity layered expressivity and key off's - this is now the minimum standard.
This keyboard is way too expensive bunch of ripp offs
Same standard muffled Roland piano sound.The guy is playing very nice, and the RD produces only this girlie playing sound. The rhodes sound are still very very good.....but all araound, there is no development anymore in Roland products, and this is now for many years. In short: YAWN
UNETHICAL!!! I have owned several Roland keys throughout my career. RD500. RD600, several of RD700 series, and I currently owe 2 RD 2000s; several Fantoms, a Jupiter X, several VKs and a VR. I specifically leave one RD2000 in south america so I dont have to carry it back and forth to the US. Before Christmas, I've paid for the German Concert Expansion, and I was very pleased with it! The problem, in my case, is that you cannot upgrade your RD 2000 that had already been upgraded with the German EXP unless you pay for another 200 dollars upgrade that includes the same German Piano EXP but not the Upright EXP. With that, Roland, abandons old faithfull customers like me, by devalueing their own products in an enethical way! Not cool!!!
