A thrilling upgrade within the LX6’s action is the integration of Roland’s cutting-edge Dynamic Sensor Acceleration, representing a noteworthy leap beyond conventional sensor designs. This inventive element consistently captures the subtleties and dynamic nuances of your performance with enhanced precision, spotlighting Roland’s steadfast dedication to pushing the limits of performance capabilities. Advanced players will instantly notice the difference given the system’s impressive ability to capture and render the most subtle of performance nuances.

The Roland LX6 showcases the groundbreaking new Piano Reality Projection sound system, representing the epitome of audio excellence with a dynamic fusion of four 2-way speakers and a newly added woofer. In a substantial refinement from its forerunner, Roland has intricately reimagined the speaker setup, optimizing placement to elevate sonic clarity and amplify sound projection, underscored by an upgraded speaker grill design. The integration of the built-in woofer speaker box takes the sound field to new heights, creating a more direct, authentic, and immersive auditory experience.

The heartbeat of this extraordinary sound system lies in Roland’s state-of-the-art Piano Reality Modeling tone engine, a notable evolution from its predecessor, the LX706, featuring refined modeling for richer and more intricate tonal expressions. Departing from traditional sound samples, this tone engine grants musicians unparalleled control, allowing them to tailor various facets of the piano tone to their unique preferences.

Distinguished by its limitless polyphony, the Roland LX6 empowers musicians with unparalleled expression and nuance, facilitating an extraordinary level of customization and tone sculpting. Beyond the realm of piano tones, the LX6 boasts a repertoire of over 300 top-tier instrument sounds, encompassing stellar electric piano, organ, string, and an array of other instrument patches, providing musicians with a versatile sonic palette to explore and harness in their creative endeavors.

Designed to cater to diverse connectivity requirements, the Roland LX6 provides comprehensive solutions tailored for various settings, be it at home as a digital piano or within institutional environments like churches or music schools. Featuring Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, users can seamlessly link their tablets or smartphones to the LX6, facilitating integration with applications such as Roland’s Piano App for an enhanced musical experience.

The addition of Bluetooth Audio further amplifies the LX6’s adaptability, enabling direct music streaming to harness its exceptional speaker system fully. Equipped with dual headphone jacks enhanced by the newly introduced Piano Reality Headphone Ambience Technology, the LX6 ensures unparalleled audio fidelity and an immersive playing experience for users.

Completing its connectivity suite are a DC in jack, stereo mini line in, twin ¼” outs, as well as USB type A and B ports, offering a comprehensive range of options for both conventional and contemporary musical setups, thus solidifying the LX6 as a versatile digital piano suited for a variety of different musical configurations.

Inheriting the legacy of its forerunners, the latest LX iterations showcase meticulously crafted cabinetry that blends eye-catching aesthetics with a nostalgic homage to the traditional upright piano, along with notable design enhancements. Taking a leap forward, the newly introduced LX6 introduces silver pedals, infusing a touch of contemporary elegance into its timeless charm. Furthermore, it includes an upgraded music rest for heightened stability and a modern Smart Panel featuring touch controls reminiscent of the GP series.
