"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."

Brainwave Music with Buchla 200 at Western Front



The following was sent in by Anastasia Chernysheva, a Ph.D. student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

"On February 28, 1977, On Being Invisible (OBI) premiered in Vancouver, at the Western Front. Stills from the black and white video capture David Rosenboom playing a touch-sensitive keyboard of Buchla 200 “Electric Music Box” and improvising in real-time with his brainwaves. The EEG output (electrical activity in the brain) was sonified by a hybrid computer sound synthesis system. Having years of biofeedback practice behind him, in this piece the pioneer of brainwave music continued exploring ways to relate information processing in the human nervous system to aesthetic experience – thus, stretching the definition of music musical performance.

Invited by the Canadian electronic music pioneer Martin Bartlett, Rosenboom gave a concert in two parts. The part presented the live performance application of the EEG system described above. In the second part of the performance, the composer used his voice, finger cymbals, a monkey drum, and a reed instrument to activate the software. A recording of the concert has been released for the first time by Black Truffle Records on the double-vinyl called “Brainwave Music” (1975/2019).
Videos from the concert can be watched on Rosenboom’s YouTube channel (see Part 1 and Part 2). Courtesy of the Western Front.

On Being Invisible was originally planned to premier at the Music Gallery in Toronto in 1976. However, due to an electricity outage that led to computer failure, the concert had to be canceled, while the audience was already gathered at the front door. Since the organizers had prepared beer for attendees, those waiting were invited inside. Once in, people gathered around the nonfunctioning set of equipment, looking at it with sad faces, as if they had come for a funeral. (see the photo below)

After rebuilding the equipment, Rosenboom performed the piece at the Music Gallery in 1977. This performance was published as vinyl by Music Gallery Editions and later re-released on CD by Pogus Productions.

You wont get the sound quality of this machine from a software sampler, not remotely close. Granted software is easier to use and more memory but the low end and filters on this are killer.

I used a special RGB to Scart cable bought from ebay to allow use with an external monitor with a scart input. I can not post the link but the sellers are retrocomputershack

It has a unique sound quality that can not be found in modern digital samplers. Their excellent converters coupled with great sounding filters make a really warm and rich sounding instrument.

I love the heavy, three-dimensional sound they produce with those amazing filters."

Analogue Solutions COLOSSUS CLASSIC - (Limited Edition w/ Black Wood Sides)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via SYNTH CITY Reverb

Note auction links are affiliate links. See the site's privacy policy for more info.

"This demo unit was featured at Knobcon 2022, now on display here in our showroom. Can be freighted anywhere in the country, please contact us for more info!

Analogue Solutions is excited to introduce Colossus, an exciting new mega-synth with a design ethos truly from the dawn of analogue synths. It is more than a powerful analogue ‘workstation’ - it is also art, architecture, exquisite studio furniture.

Design inspiration is of course from the 1970’s EMS Synthi 100, however, no circuit from the Synthi has been cloned or copied. We prefer to make our own designs. We have chosen some of our favourite circuits from our own large back catalogue synths such as Polymath, Telemark and Vostok.

Colossus is not a Synthi 100 clone - all circuits are non-EMS, Analogue Solutions’ design.

The original Synthi was so large it wouldn’t fit through a standard doorway. We didn’t make that mistake but don’t underestimate it’s size. It will be prominent in your studio, or art gallery!

It is sized at 1585mm wide, 700mm deep and 655mm high and weighing in too big to fit on the scales. It’s not entirely practical, but to be impressive physically and in sound. It will be an awesome centre piece to your studio.

*diagonal dimension is a little less for those with tight door ways - about 620mm effective width.

Also we have found putting Colossus on its end, you can pivot it through narrow doorways (more details in the manual).

All the voice and modulation circuits are of course 100% analogue. We purposely steered away from digital, it doesn’t have MIDI or USB (there are plenty of MIDI converter boxes out there should you need that facility). This wasn’t designed to be the solution to your modern digital studio but rather a serious analogue power house of sound. There are of course digital elements to the sequencer control - that is unavoidable - even classic analogue sequencers like the ARP sequencer using digital logic chips. In fact the Synthi 100 features a digital sequencer.

This synth is purely for those who want it just as it was in the 1970s - but new with parts still in production.

Colossus is large scale, featuring large knobs that control metal shaft potentiometers. VCOs have multi-turn verniers. The two enormous pin matrix panels dominate the horizontal panels - these are incredibly expensive Swiss made broadcast quality signal routers - 1 for CV and 1 for Audio.

There are two spring reverbs, touch keyboards, step sequencers, moving coil meters, joysticks and so much more. An immense expanse of jack sockets for additional patching within or without the system.

There are no gimmicks - this is pure synthesiser. A huge sound enclosed in a solid metal case wrapped in solid hardwood. No expense has been spared to bring this incredible machine to life.

Synthesisers like this only come around once in a decade, or possibly a generation."
