Design

At first glance, the Roland LX-9 has a recognisable design that we have often seen from the Japanese brand. Traditional on its Rolands, the LX-9 has a beautiful tall cabinet no less than 118cm high. The lid at the top can be opened, and the keyboard lid opens and closes on the outside. This makes it one of the few digital pianos that exactly resembles a real upright in size and feel! Still, when we start looking at the details, a lot has changed. For instance, the LX-9 has been given sharper lines for a more modern and fresh look. Also, the buttons are now incorporated under the lacquer, and only light up when you want to operate the piano. This makes the piano look even more real, and provides less distraction while playing. In short: we can definitely call the LX-9 modern and realistic!

Hybrid keyboard and sound

Roland has gone all out with this new LX-9. Perhaps the biggest achievement is the new "hybrid grand keyboard". This new keyboard has an unparalleled feel thanks to Roland's modern design techniques. Thanks to the progressive hammer action, hybrid wood/moulded keys with artificial ivory finish, long key length and unique haptic vibration, this is the most naturalistic keyboard Roland has ever made! In addition, the new high precision sensors provide an ultra-detailed touch that will pick up the smallest refinements of your playing.

For the audio, Roland has also looked at innovation. The new Piano Reality Projection sound system with no less than 8 speakers, is supported by powerful audio components and audio processing techniques that make the sound come across as true to life. Just like hearing a real soundboard! Of course, when it comes to true-to-life sound, the piano sample itself is also very important. That's why Roland has put a new sound generator in the LX-9: the Piano Reality Modelling sound engine. This engine contains a large number of varied grand pianos designed with the most advanced techniques. So you'll always have a piano sound that's right for the piano piece you're playing!

Connectivity and smartphone capabilities

The Roland LX-9 has state-of-the-art ways of connectivity. So of course it comes with 2 headphone jacks, a line-out and an input. But it also has access to USB and bluetooth 5.0! This allows you to very easily connect your phone or tablet to the piano, and enjoy the numerous different apps that can make playing the piano a bit more fun. Roland also has its own app with which you can control and set up the piano, as well as learn theory and play games which is an ideal way for children to learn notes!

In short: The Roland LX-9 is truly one of the most complete digital pianos on the market. With a realistic keyboard, excellent piano sounds, a high-quality design and the latest functions and features makes it the ideal living room/study piano for the discerning player!
