General

Seat yourself at the contemporary black Roland HP-506 CB and you'll feel like you are playing an acoustic instrument. This high-quality digital piano offers the same key features as the older HP models, but adds a number of attractive new functions. The most distinctive new feature is the PHA-4 concert keyboard, which is equipped with keys that feel just like genuine ebony and ivory, responds more accurately than ever to your strokes, and is able to process rapid note repetitions. In combination with the exceptionally realistic grand and upright piano sounds of the SuperNATURAL sound generator, it offers the ultimate piano experience.

The acoustic simulations of the HP-506 CB

The HP-506 CB makes your thundering fortissimo passages sound just as powerful as a genuine acoustic piano would. The Dynamic Harmonic functionality ensures that the timbre also changes in accordance with the force of your strokes. The tried Acoustic Projection System, which simulates the spacious effect of an acoustic piano by means of several speakers, takes this digital piano to a different level than the HP-504. Like the HP-504, the HP-506 enables you to adjust the volume, characteristics and tone of each separate note, which means you can fully adapt the sound of the piano to the acoustics of the room. Unlike the HP-504, the HP-506 can also store these settings on a USB stick.

The USB connector

Connect your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch to the Roland HP-506 by means of the optional Roland Wireless USB Adapter, and you can make use of two practical, free apps. The Free Piano Partner app allows you to quickly select the sounds and songs of the HP-506 and enables children to develop their playing skills in a fun way. The Air Performer app can be used to play along with the songs on your playlist. The USB port of the HP-506 enables you to record your playing session as a WAV or MIDI file on a USB stick, and also allows for the playback of the MIDI and WAV files on your USB memory device, so you can play along.
