Is it a piano or an instrument for entertainment? It's up to you.
VIMA RK-300 offers new styles of musical entertainment and enjoyment
with rich musical content and visual materials.
This is the debut of a new-concept digital keyboard that incorporates the highest quality digital
piano with music and visual enhancement. Let's connect the VIMA RK-300 with the big-screen TV
in your living room. Experience a new world of enjoyment with the fusion of music and visuals as
you sing and play. VIMA's entertainment world can include external data and devices, such as
audio CDs, digital cameras, or other electronic musical instruments.
VIMA piano sound — based on Roland’s decades
of world-leading research in acoustic-piano
analysis and digital-piano technology
The RK-300 incorporates Roland’s finest 88-note stereo sampled
grand piano sound, offering incredible realism from powerful
low-range notes to brilliant highs. Due to meticulous sampling of
all 88 notes of a world-famous acoustic grand piano, the RK-300
reproduces every sound and resonant characteristic with clarity,
detail, and authenticity. With the Piano Designer function, you can
adjust delicate sound characters such as the open / close degree
of the piano lid, string resonance, etc. Up to 128 voices can play
simultaneously, ensuring the natural resonance of strings when
using the damper pedal extensively.
The continuous pedals react your pedaling
techniques and emotional expressions
The RK-300’s damper and soft pedals can detect the slightest and
most delicate pedaling work. Piano-pedaling techniques such as
positional depth are authentically reproduced with the RK-300.
Natural-feeling key touch with
expressive control
The RK-300 is outfitted with Roland’s acclaimed PHAII keyboard,
which realizes the natural touch of a grand piano exclusively with
the weight of hammers (no springs are used). The keys sink
quietly and smoothly when pressed
lightly, and provide slight resistance
when pressed more forcefully. Even
the grand-piano keyboard's unique
“let off” feeling is faithfully
reproduced.
A variety of lesson-oriented
features are also onboard
RK-300's convenient lesson-assist features (metronome, recorder,
Twin Piano, etc…) can help students master the piano.

Let's play your favorite songs
backed by MP3 or audio CD
The RK-300 comes with a popular and widely varied song library on the
bundled CD-ROM (stored as music data). With music data, you can
change key and tempo, and you can mute or solo each part separately
(right hand, left hand, backing) for play-along practice. The RK-300 can
also play audio data such as MP3 files*1 from USB Flash Memory
and other media; audio CDs can be played via USB CD drive. With
audio data, you can change key and tempo,
while the Center Cancel feature lets you
minimize the melody part so you can play
along. You can be a soloist with your favorite
CD, for example.
