Roland F-130R-CB digital piano Contemporary Black

General

If you're looking for a digital piano, you can choose from a range of models in various colours, but the size of such an instrument is usually considerable. For people who only have limited space, Roland offers the F-130R-CB digital piano Contemporary Black. The F-130R-CB is David and Goliath rolled into one: small on the outside, with functionality of giant proportions. Eleven excellent piano sounds supplemented by 72 styles (rhythms with backing), and an additional 305 sounds including horns and strings are at your disposal. The sound quality is of the high level you may expect from an acclaimed market leader such as Roland.

The piano aspect of the Roland F-130R-CB digital piano Contemporary Black

For decades, Roland used high-grade samples for its digital pianos. Some years ago, however, the manufacturer switched to physical modelling technology with the SuperNATURAL engine. This fancy term means that the engine calculates the right piano sound for each note you play in real-time. The benefits are audible: you'll no longer hear the awkward transitions between individual notes that were typical for samples. As a result, the digital piano produces a tone that sounds just as expressive and authentic as that of an acoustic model. If you're playing with your headphones on, your piano experience is enhanced even more by Roland's 3D Ambience effect. You'll imagine yourself playing a high-grade piano in a room with outstanding acoustics!

More options with the i of Apple

If you own an Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, you'll be able to wirelessly connect that device to the F-130R-CB. All you need to set up a link is the optional Roland Wireless USB Adapter. The Air Performer and Piano Partner apps add some great functionality. Air Performer allows you to wirelessly stream music from your device to the speakers of the digital piano, for you to play along with. Pitch and tempo can be adjusted, so music pieces that are originally in C sharp can be performed in C, for instance - a great feature for beginning players. The Piano Partner app is a fun interactive way of improving your piano skills. Both apps are available free of charge!
