Roland's flagship digital stage piano from 1986, with a lovely natural feeling weighted wooden keyboard with velocity sensitivity and a sound that's become a classic in its own right. Rather than samples, the RD-1000 uses Roland's early Structured Adaptive Synthesis (SAS) to produce eight distinctive sounds, from warm, rounded grand pianos and bright electric grands to clavinets and bell-like electric pianos. The built-in chorus and tremolo are particularly nice, adding plenty of movement and unmistakable mid-'80s Roland character. Elton John certainly had plenty of help setting this up for his live rig during the 80s because this board is heavy (around 45kg).
