ROLAND INTRODUCES LX-15e DIGITAL PIANO

Premium Performance and Luxurious Looks in a Compact Upright

Los Angeles, CA, January 15, 2014 — Roland is pleased to introduce the LX-15e Digital Piano, a compact upright-styled instrument with gorgeous looks and authentic grand piano sound and feel. Featuring Roland’s very best technologies, a stunning polished finish, and much more, the space-saving LX-15e brings premium piano luxury to any living space.

Available in a Polished Ebony or Polished White finish, the LX-15e is surprisingly compact, yet carries an impressive presence that’s both stately and elegant. The brilliant mirror-like sheen and graceful classic curves offer a majestic appearance, while Roland’s SuperNATURAL® Piano technology delivers the ultimate playing experience, with organic tonal variations, natural note decay, and unmatched dynamic response.

In addition to authentic grand piano tones, the LX-15e includes a newly developed upright tone that provides the unique up-close sound of a traditional upright instrument. Additional enhancements include a Dynamic Harmonic function for fortissimo playing and Individual Note Voicing to customize the piano’s sound to suit the user’s playing style or home environment.

Roland’s flagship PHA-4 Concert Keyboard with Escapement and Ebony/Ivory Feel includes the latest touch-detection technology, high-resolution sensing, and more, providing a sophisticated touch that will satisfy the most advanced players. The PHA-4’s hammer-action mechanism also produces less audible noise than previous designs, a welcome feature for not disturbing others while practicing with headphones.

Equipped with Roland’s innovative Acoustic Projection audio system, the LX-15e delivers a rich, multi-dimensional sound experience that recreates the authentic sound space of an acoustic grand piano with extraordinary accuracy. During private practice sessions, users can enjoy Headphones 3D Ambience, a unique new effect that makes it feel as though the sound is emanating from the instrument itself.

To support daily piano practice, the LX-15e includes a large onboard song library, as well as a built-in recorder that lets users capture their performances for self-evaluation and sharing. Parents can use the Volume Limit function to preset a maximum volume for the piano, providing a great way to prevent children from playing loud sounds unexpectedly. The headphones volume can be set independently from the main volume, and stereo 1/4-inch and stereo 1/8-inch miniature jacks are included to support a variety of headphones types.

The LX-15e is compatible with Roland’s free piano apps for Apple iOS devices, which offer a unique approach to motivate a child’s interest in playing and practice. With the Air Performer app, they can play along with favorite songs in the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch wirelessly through the piano’s sound system via Roland Wireless Connect (optional). The Piano Partner app for iPad includes Flash Card, an interactive music program that kids will love, plus an intuitive graphical interface for selecting tones and songs in the LX-15e. Piano Partner also features DigiScore Lite, which displays the piano’s built-in songs as sheet music on the iPad.
