feature 88 keys, 64-voice polyphony, stereo-sampled piano sounds, dual

For beginners, or those seeking an affordable digital piano, Roland offers
the HP-137. With its 88-note weighted keyboard, maximum 64-voice polyphony, adjustable
reverb, MIDI compatibility, and stereo-sampled digital piano sounds.
The beautiful HP-147 model adds three pedals-damper, soft and sostenuto-a sliding
keyboard lid, a modesty panel, and Roland's acclaimed PA-4 hammer-action keyboard.
The HP-237 includes all of the features of the HP-147 and adds a metronome,
additional sounds, chorus and sympathetic resonance effects, and a built-in recorder.
This model's enhanced sound set includes electric pianos, harpsichord, vibraphone,
pipe organ, strings and acoustic bass (in Split mode). With its built-in metronome-including
the popular barking dogs sounds-and easy-to-use recorder, the HP-237 model makes
an exceptional choice for music learners.
The top-of-the-line HP-337 offers Roland's new PA-5 Progressive Hammer-Action
keyboard, stereo 64-voice polyphony, a three-track realtime recorder, newly developed
stereo-sampled piano sounds, and additional sounds via a rich GS/GM2-compatible
sound set. In total, the HP-337 offers over 270 sounds, including eight drum sets
and one sound effects set. Its innovative Pianist™ function supplies 22 auto-accompaniment
piano styles, while a built-in serial port makes it easy to connect the HP-337
directly to a computer.
