An LX Console Piano Designed for Serious Study, Without Compromising Realism
Designed as an accessible entry into the world of Roland's premium upright pianos, the LX-5 embodies the spirit of the LX range: an elegant and compact cabinet, precise playing response, and inspiring sound at both low and high volumes. Its "maintenance-free" approach and flexibility (headphone-friendly, wireless connectivity, detailed settings) make it a reliable instrument to support both early learning stages and piano resumption with higher musical demands.
Keyboard Design
At the heart of the LX-5, the 88-key hybrid PHA-50 keyboard combines wood structure and composite materials to deliver stability, consistency, and a natural feel. The hammer action with escapement reproduces touch progression and articulation, while the weighted touch helps develop solid technique (independence, dynamic control, repetition). The Ivory Feel surfaces enhance grip and comfort, and the high-precision velocity detection allows for nuanced phrasing from pianissimo to fortissimo, with consistent response across the entire range.
Sound Quality
The Piano Reality Modeling sound engine relies on physical modeling that recreates the real-time behavior of a piano, offering continuous dynamics and natural transitions between dynamics. The LX-5 features modeled grand and upright pianos as well as an extensive palette of tones, useful for varying styles and playing contexts. The high polyphony ensures smooth performance during dense passages, pedal use, and layering, while the Piano Reality Projection system with 4 stereo speakers enhances spatial sensation and detail clarity (attack, body, resonances) for a listening experience more akin to a "console piano" than a "simple keyboard."
Built-in Effects
To adapt the sound to your room and repertoire, the LX-5 includes Piano Reality Ambience with 4 environments (studio, living room, concert hall, cathedral), as well as reverb, equalizer, and brightness controls. For silent practice, the immersive headphone mode provides an enveloping and comfortable listening experience, ideal for long sessions without fatigue.
