"Updated RD Models with Expanded Sounds, Plus EX Upgrade Packages on Roland Cloud for Current RD-2000 and RD-88 Owners
Los Angeles, CA, July 23, 2024 — Roland announces the RD-2000 EX and RD-88 EX, the latest members of the historic RD family of stage pianos for professional performers. Building on the foundations of previous generation models, these powerful instruments offer players expanded creative capabilities with new world-class piano sounds. In addition to the RD-2000 EX and RD-88 EX models for first-time purchasers, RD-2000 and RD-88 owners can expand their instruments with EX sounds through upgrade packages available for purchase on Roland Cloud.
RD-2000 EX Stage Piano
Launched in 2017, the RD-2000 introduced the most advanced RD stage piano to date. The RD-2000 EX elevates this successful platform with two pre-installed V-Piano Expansion titles. Designed for the needs of top-level stage performers, the RD-2000 EX features independent sound engines driven by V-Piano and SuperNATURAL technologies, premium hammer-action playability with the PHA-50 keyboard, high-end controller features, and computer integration for modern workflows.
First released in 2022 as an option for RD-2000 owners, the German Concert V-Piano Expansion 01 provides a versatile new voice inspired by famous concert-class grand pianos. Enhanced modeling features offer new sonic possibilities highlighted with 17 ready-to-play Tones. The sound is organic and responsive for solo work while also delivering muscle and presence for cutting through dense band mixes on stage.
The newly developed Essential Upright V-Piano Expansion 02 introduces an intimate sonic flavor with the distinctive character and unique spatial quality of a high-end upright piano. The 14 preset Tones include classic sounds for pop and rock styles, along with a variety of colorful non-standard sounds.
With the sophisticated Piano Designer tools in the RD-2000 EX, users can customize the V-Piano sounds for their style and touch. When combined with the instrument’s powerful sound layering and effect processing options, the creative possibilities are endless.
RD-88 EX Stage Piano
Unveiled in early 2020, the RD-88 brought players acclaimed RD sound and playability in a lightweight and affordable instrument. The RD-88 EX retains every core feature from the previous model, including SuperNATURAL and ZEN-Core sound engines, the expressive PHA-4 hammer-action keyboard, intuitive controller tools, and a room-filling onboard stereo speaker system.
The newly developed SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion comes pre-installed in the RD-88 EX, adding a premium concert piano option that complements the SuperNATURAL acoustic and electric pianos already included. The expansion offers 15 distinctive Tones and 20 Scenes, from bright, dynamic sounds for live band performances to darker textures for solo work and ambient explorations.
RD-2000 EX Upgrade and RD-88 EX Upgrade
RD-2000 and RD-88 owners can expand their instruments with the new EX sounds via the RD-2000 EX Upgrade and RD-88 EX Upgrade on Roland Cloud. Each user-installable upgrade package is available with a Lifetime Key purchase in Roland Cloud Manager, the software portal for Roland Cloud content.
Availability & Pricing
The Roland RD-88 EX and RD-2000 EX are available in July in the U.S. for $1,299.99 and $2,599.99 respectively. The RD-88 EX Upgrade and the RD-2000 EX Upgrade are available in July for $99.99 and $199.99 respectively."

Note the best pics, but this appears to be the first one featured on the site.
All I could find on it was the following:
"It plays back songs off memory cards and has a Rompler sound engine on board, but sadly, no midi ports."
Curious what that 5 pin din on the back is.
If anyone knows anything about these feel free to leave a comment.

Serge Inori meet a RE-150 Space Echo
video upload by Stazma
"Yesterday I received my new Inori Serge panel, mounted together with the Mantra I had for years AND I found a second hand Space Echo at a 20 minutes drive from my house.
This was clearly destiny and I had to make a proper Analordish jam with these two (880 by System 80 on the beat and syncing the Serge).
Have fun!"

Roland System 8 Jupiter 4 plugout soundscape - Waking into nothing
video upload by MIDERA
"I finally got around to recording something with the System 8 Jupiter-4 plug out. I'm quite torn to be honest, in what to keep in this machine. I think the Jupiter 4 plug out is a little more interesting than the Juno 60 plug out, but I like them both. I don't want to give up either the Jupiter 8 or JX-3P (although I own an actual JX-3P that I am trying to sell).
The Jupiter 4 has a more interesting sound to it in my opinion. Plus I love the random ARP it has. The Ensemble effect is way too noisy. I realize that's 'how it was' but they fixed this in the Juno plug out to tone the noise levels down if you wanted. Here you have no choice. Also, you can't adjust the volume of all the different oscillators on the Jupiter 4, which isn't ideal.
Anyway, it's a good sounding engine and I'm thinking this is the one to keep in there (despite enjoying the Juno 60 plugout as well).

Roland JUNIOR 106 Mini Juno 106 w/ KIWI 106 Mod
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"This is all kinds of Juno! Its a Juno 106 at heart, upgraded to a totally pro level with the KIWI 106 mod.. done professionally. AND its been modified to be a JUNIOR 106.. cropped and so cool. Very portable and very amazing.
I bought this recently and fell in love with it. I have not had time to dive into all the KIWI parameters but so far the Arpeggiator, Sequencer, MONO / POLY modes are fantastic! It can sync its LFO's, SEQ and ARP to internal and external clock which is a game changer for sure!
It should be noted that the voice chips were pro repaired from the usual issues they can have. ALL voices, filters, KEYS, buttons and slider work great.
BUT, there are a couple things to note.. The headphone jack does not work and while the bender works great with pitch and filter, i could not get the 'push' mod to work.. might be a KIWI programming thing? I dunno, like i said, i bought this recently and have not truly gotten into ALL the Kiwi possibilities.
SO.. why am i selling the best Juno i have ever played? I just picked up a restored Sequential PROPHET 10.. no, not the new one, the O.G.!!!!!! Its massive in every way and quenches my analog thirst."
