Introducing the Roland DP603 digital upright piano The Roland DP603 is the ideal solution for those who want a high specification and high quality digital piano but don't necessarily have enough room. It's neat, folding cabinet design means that this could quite easily double up as a desk when closed, but still has the touch and sound of a high end digital piano. The piano sound engine produces a rich and expressive sound, which is fully editable via the Piano Designer menu and has unlimited polyphony on piano sounds too. A huge pallet of other instrument voices are available for recording, such as orchestral strings, brass, synth and drum sounds and you can record straight to a memory stick as a CD or upload ready audio file. The sound is produced by two 30W amplifiers paired with two 12cm speakers, which is more than enough for the domestic setting for which the DP603 is intended, and it will sound even better through headphones. Equipped with Bluetooth for audio streaming and wireless connectivity to your smart device, the Roland DP603 is a very capable instrument and can be a really helpful learning tool. Authentic touch and sounds This latest digital piano features the same sound engine as Roland’s flagship LX/HP models, and you’ll hear the benefits of our acclaimed SuperNATURAL Piano Modeling in performance that flawlessly recreates the rich, dynamic response of an acoustic instrument. You’ll also appreciate the new PHA-50 keyboard, whose blend of wood and molded material means it plays like traditional ivory, but without the associated maintenance and expense. A dynamic speaker to fill your home with music The DP603’s onboard speaker system projects warm, enveloping sound, with controllable volume that lets you play loudly or quietly to suit the scenario. This new piano goes even further to double as a wireless speaker system, so you won’t need to clutter your home with an additional hi-fi or stereo. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, simply connect the Roland DP603 with your smartphone or tablet, and then play back your favourite songs through the internal speakers. Or better still, jam along with them! Powerful tools for education With 300 onboard songs ready for you to jam over, you’ll be improving in no time. If you need it, the built-in metronome tightens up your timing before the onboard recorder assesses your development. USB playback/save functions enhance your practice sessions and let you archive performances, while Twin Piano mode enables a learner and teacher to sit side-by-side and play in the same key range. And don’t forget the teaching power of apps—by connecting with your iPad or Android tablet via Bluetooth MIDI or a USB cable, you can access a world of popular apps and online practice videos. A great first step is Roland’s Piano Partner 2, which displays the sheet music of the DP603’s internal songs on your tablet’s screen.
