SuperNATURAL
Piano Modeling Sound
Tone is a priority for any serious pianist, but it’s also where many digital pianos fall flat. The sound of an acoustic piano is the result of endless physical interactions. The key is pressed, the hammer strikes the string, the string resonates within the cabinet – before a thousand further elements shape the final sound. Roland’s SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling technology recreates all these factors, so for the first time, a digital piano truly sounds and behaves like an acoustic instrument.

PHA-50 Keyboard
Traditionalists will immediately feel at home with the GP609’s keyboard. The keys recreate the look and feel of real ebony and ivory, complete with moisture-absorbing properties that ensure your fingers won’t slide off. But while each key has sophisticated wooden sides, the internal frame is made from modern molded materials, connected to high-resolution sensors that will endure for years to come. The benefit is not only authentic playability, but also a consistent feel during temperature and humidity changes, saving you the maintenance costs associated with a traditional keyboard.
Progressive Damper Pedal
Featuring Roland’s Progressive Damper Action pedal mechanism, which closely replicates the pedal response of an acoustic piano, the GP609 can support the most expressive and nuanced techniques. Just as you’d expect from an acoustic piano, when you start to depress the damper pedal, it offers lighter resistance, but as you depress it further, the resistance increases. Meanwhile, when a musical piece demands a lighter touch, you’ll also benefit from the more accurate ‘half-pedaling’ response, with the depth of the damper pedal allowing subtle control of tone decay.
