Roland Digital Grand Piano - GP-9M-PE

Description

The Ultimate Grand Piano for Entertainment and Stage Performance

The GP-9M brings you Roland's premier piano experience, offering refined musical expression in a sophisticated and luxurious instrument that makes a majestic statement in any space. This impressive piano includes the same flagship sound and features as its sister model, the GP-9, while adding moving keys, professional audio outputs, and a microphone input for singing along through the onboard speaker system. This makes the GP-9M ideal for performance venues, commercial establishments, and homeowners looking for the ultimate piano entertainment showcase.

*The GP-9M embodies elegance with striking high-gloss ebony and polished white finishes. Smart touch controls in the panel provide intuitive access to essential functions as needed, with togglable backlights for a more traditional look.

*The GP-9M features a moving key function; call up songs from the piano's extensive onboard library, MIDI files via USB flash media, or the Roland Piano App and watch as the keys magically play themselves.

*Professional XLR outputs let you connect the piano directly to a house audio system for broader sound coverage and independent control from the onboard speakers. There's a dedicated microphone input as well, allowing a performer to sing through the GP-9M's sound system without the need for an external preamp or audio mixer. All GP-9M sounds go to the outputs by default, but you can assign various sound settings to suit your needs.

*The GP-9M is able to recreate every sound-making element of an acoustic piano, putting concert-class quality under your fingers. With unlimited polyphony and modeled ambiance, notes and resonances ring in full detail to imitate playing in a grand hall or studio.

*The keyboard provides unbounded expression with progressive hammer action, escapement, hybrid wood/molded key construction with Ivory Feel, and advanced sensing technology for accurate detection of the subtlest playing nuances. High-performance sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals offer weighted feel, damper modeling, and support for traditional pedal techniques.

*Multi-channel amplification, premium audio circuitry, and advanced sonic processing come together for the ultimate full-surround piano experience. The cabinet construction, speaker placement, and lid angle have all been carefully tuned to deliver the same bold and immersive sound presentation as a concert grand in a performance hall.

*If you're an experienced player, you can dive into the onboard Piano Designer tools to further refine the tone and response for your personal touch. Adjust the string tuning and temperament, fine-tune keyboard sensitivity and duplex scaling, shape cabinet resonances, and much more.

*Stream songs from your music library through the piano's speaker system with onboard Bluetooth to play along or provide background music. Or, use Bluetooth MIDI with music production apps to wirelessly compose using the GP-9's responsive weighted keyboard. USB ports are also available for connecting with computers and flash storage devices, providing more ways to explore your creativity and share music performances.

*Greatly reduced weight (188.0 kg/414.5 lb.) makes the GP-9M far easier to move than any acoustic grand. It also enables you to use the instrument on temporary stages and in other situations where weight is a concern. And unlike that acoustic grand, there's no need for professional tuning or other maintenance after moving the GP-9M.

*Volume control is within easy reach, and you can connect headphones to play anytime. The onboard metronome and simple rhythms help develop your sense of timing during daily practice sessions. And with Twin Piano mode, you can split the keyboard into two independent sections and play alongside a family member, friend, or teacher.
