Only the V-Piano Offers the Expressive Capability
of an Acoustic Grand
By pressing a key on the V-Piano, you’ll instantly realize the beauty and authenticity of the sound.
The V-Piano replicates every detail of the acoustic piano’s sound-production process, starting from the
hammer hitting the strings. The result is seamless, transparent tonal change that corresponds to key
pressure, unlike sample-based pianos that change in a digital ‘‘step-like” manner. With the V-Piano,
decaying sounds linger and fade naturally, unlike sample-based pianos that employ waveform loops.
For the fi rst time in a digital instrument, the V-Piano provides truly accurate, authentic piano sounds
that meet high-level performance demands.
New PHA
III
Ivory Feel Keyboard with Escapement
The V-Piano’s keyboard was newly developed to achieve maximum comfort,
playability, and response. The PHA
III
Ivory Feel keyboard
with Escapement drastically improves key repetition while
perfectly conveying dynamic, velocity-based tonal changes.
The V-Piano also provides an escapement mechanism
for each key, which recreates the authentic ‘‘click feel”
of a grand-piano keyboard. This particularly improves
expression when playing pianissimo. The keyboard also
features Roland’s acclaimed ‘‘Ivory Feel” — a comfortable
and realistic moisture-absorbent material that prevents
slipping caused by perspiration during performance.
Advanced Sound-Generation System Based on
Acoustic-Piano Components
Sounds are produced on an acoustic piano by pressing a
key, which causes a hammer to hit metal strings that are
stretched across the piano’s frame. The resulting sound
causes other strings to resonate from the bridge
to the soundboard to the body and outward into
the surrounding space. This sound-production
process was fundamental in the development of the
V-Piano. The complex interaction of components
was recreated meticulously, resulting in
rich, realistic, organic grand-piano
sound and performance.
