PHA-50 keyboard with High Precision Sensing
The Roland LX5 features the hybrid PHA-50 keyboard (Progressive Hammer Action), and is a combination of wood and plastic. Thanks to the new High Precision Sensing technology, you have even more control and a better response at the touch. This closely mimics the playing feel of an acoustic piano, but at the same time the use of plastic ensures good durability. The keyboard is equipped with an escapement (let-off) mechanism, as in a real acoustic piano. The keys have the look and feel of real ebony and ivory. The key pad is moisture-absorbent, which makes it harder for your fingers to slip off and will lower the error rate.
The LX5 is equipped with Progressive Damper Action Pedal technology, which means you experience limited resistance when you push the pedals in lightly and more resistance as you push the pedals in further, just like an acoustic piano. This makes half-pedal techniques easier and gives you as a pianist much more control over dynamics and musicality.
Piano Reality Modelling
When playing an acoustic grand piano, a lot of physical interactions take place, such as pressing the keys, hitting the hammers on the strings, vibrating the strings and sound box, which notes you play and how you use the pedals. All these interactions allow pianist to hear exactly what is going on inside the grand piano. The Piano Reality Modelling technology attempts to mimic a similar communication between pianist and piano, in real time. Thanks to unlimited polyphony, notes and resonance come into their own in the Roland LX5.
Powerful speaker system with Acoustic Projection
The Roland LX5 features four powerful speakers, optimally positioned so you can enjoy realistic sound reproduction. This Acoustic Projection technology uses a multi-channel amplifier and simulates the rich sound of a real grand piano. The four speakers are split into two pairs, with each pair optimized for superior and crystal clear sound reproduction.
Sampling
All models of the Roland LX-series are equipped with the sample of both a European and American concert grand piano. The European piano sound has a richer and deeper character, while the American piano sound offers more clarity. Through the Piano Designer you can also adjust the sound completely to your liking and save it in the piano's memory. In addition, the LX models offer a wide range of additional sounds, such as electric pianos, organs, strings and drum sounds.
Bluetooth connectivity and Roland Piano app
The Roland LX5 can be connected wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet via the Bluetooth Audio function. This way you can play along with your favorite songs yourself, improve your piano skills through online tutorials and even use the piano as a home entertainment audio system.
Via the Bluetooth MIDI function you can use the Roland Piano app, which allows you to download electronic scores, rehearse your favorite songs and track your daily progress in the app. This provides a fine learning experience and motivates you to keep learning new things.
Stylish and compact furniture
With the most compact furniture in the Roland LX-series, this model fits perfectly in your living room or apartment. The design is traditional and timeless. The Roland LX5 is available in black (satin and high gloss), dark rosewood and light oak.
