Legendary RD Piano Sounds and More
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As one might expect, the RD-170’s piano sounds are nothing less than phenomenal. The acoustic grand piano is a real standout; thanks to stereo sampling, every nuance can be faithfully captured. Of course, there’s also a selection of fine instrument Tones ranging from electric piano and strings to organs, mallets and more—64 Tones in all.

New Half-Damper Capabilities
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With new half-pedal recognition, the RD-170 takes on all the expressiveness of an acoustic grand piano. When used with the supplied Damper Pedal, this technology allows the RD- 170 to sense pedal positions other than just “On” and “Off.” The result is more natural sustained playing that captures the true spirit of an acoustic piano.

The RD-170’s onboard 2-track recorder makes capturing a performance ultra-intuitive. Or if you don’t feel like playing, simply listen to one of 16 outstanding demo songs. A built-in metronome makes it easy for students to stay on beat while practicing. Whether for home use or on stage, the RD-170 has the features you need most at a price you can afford.
