Roland GP-6: The "Grand Piano" Spirit at the Heart of the GP Range, in Baby Grand Version

The Roland GP-6 is positioned as a pivotal model in the GP series: it takes the DNA of the premium versions and places it in a Baby Grand cabinet with a sleek design, conceived for modern interiors. The goal is clear: to offer a credible "grand piano" experience in terms of touch, nuance, and projection, while retaining the advantages of digital such as zero maintenance, volume control, headphone play, and always-available practice tools.

Keyboard Design

The Piano Reality Premium keyboard emphasizes the acoustic sensation: progressive hammer action with escapement, combined with accelerated detection that precisely follows dynamics and micro-variations in attack. The hybrid wood and plastic keys provide stability and consistency, while the Ivory Feel finish enhances grip and comfort, especially appreciated during long sessions.
To complete expressive control, the GP-6 includes three pedals (damper, soft, sostenuto) with weighted feel, featuring mute modeling and support for traditional pedal techniques. The result: a more natural playing experience, equally suitable for classical repertoire as well as modern and pop music with delicate touch.

Sound Quality

The Piano Reality Premium modeling reconstructs the behavior of an acoustic piano in its essential elements to produce an organic response, rich in color and nuance. The GP-6 offers various high-end grand piano sounds, with a sense of continuity enhanced by unlimited polyphony, ideal for resonances, sustained pedals, and dense passages.
The Piano Reality Premium sound projection system relies on five speakers, discreet amplification, a high-quality audio circuit, and advanced sound processing to deliver a broad and enveloping sound. The openable top lid allows increased projection, recreating a familiar gesture from grand pianos.

Built-in Effects

Shape your sound with piano-focused tools: advanced processing for immersive diffusion through built-in speakers; Piano Designer to customize response and timbre (string-by-string tuning, temperament, keyboard sensitivity, duplex scale settings, cabinet resonances, and other parameters); mute modeling paired with the soft pedal for more authentic expressiveness.
