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.

Convenient Master Keyboard
Functions

Whether taking advantage of the onboard Split and Layer
functions to play the internal sounds, or controlling a rack of
MIDI modules, you’ll love using the RD-170 as your master
keyboard. With controller functions built-in, you can play
and control external MIDI modules simultaneously—all with
minimal fuss. The RD-170’s 16 programmable setup memories
make it easy to save and recall custom settings—great for
performance.

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.

Built-In Song Recorder and More
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
