Features of the Piano
“SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling Sound Engine Produces Living Piano Sound
This sound engine uses a computer to synthesize a virtualization of an acoustic piano’s sound-
producing mechanism, constructing the sound from scratch in a way that reproduces the rich sound
of a piano with its complex interactions.
It generates a living piano sound that cannot be produced by the conventional sampling (recorded)
sound engines of the past.
“PHA-50 keyboard” Delivers the Playing Feel and Touch of an Acoustic Piano
Hybrid structure made of wood and a polymer center frame.
The center frame structure resists warping or deformation, providing a stable playing feel.
Wood material improves the keyboard’s rigidity and density, and also enhances the playing feel.
This is a maintenance-free keyboard that gives you the playing feel and atmosphere of an acoustic
piano while also excelling in durability.
Bluetooth Technology (Audio/Page-Turning/MIDI Support)
Bluetooth audio functionality allows music or video sound from your smartphone or tablet to be
played back through the piano itself. Bluetooth page-turning and MIDI connection capability lets
you control music score apps such as piaScore.
By using Bluetooth audio functionality or a remote control app, you can enjoy sound from the
piano as background music.
Models with and without Bluetooth
The presence or absence of Bluetooth functionality is
indicated by the name of a button in the control panel at
the left of the keyboard.
On models equipped with Bluetooth, the second button
from the front is labeled the [
] button.
On models not equipped with Bluetooth, the second
button from the front is labeled the [Metronome] button.

    Why is there a high-pitched ringing sound from my Roland Musical Instrument?
    • J
      Justin RiggsJul 31, 2025
      If you hear a high-pitched ringing sound from your Roland Musical Instrument, it is likely due to the faithful reproduction of the characteristics of an actual piano and is not a malfunction. This ringing is more noticeable when a strong reverb effect is applied, so try minimizing it by decreasing the reverb. If the issue persists, it might be due to other reasons, such as internal resonances.

      If you're using headphones with your Roland Musical Instrument and still hear a thumping sound when playing the keyboard, and vibration transmitted to the floor or walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with pianos.

    Why is the pitch incorrect on my Roland KF-10 Musical Instrument?
    • M
      Micheal ButlerAug 11, 2025
      If the pitch of your Roland Musical Instrument keyboard or song is incorrect, it could be due to the Transpose settings. You can check and adjust these settings. Also, verify that the Master Tune setting is appropriate. It's worth noting that pianos use a unique tuning method called stretched tuning, where upper-range notes are slightly higher and lower-range notes are slightly lower.
