Outstanding New Sounds
The RS50 is the essence of RS70 being condensed and packed under the metal chassis. It is loaded with not just new Patches, but also with an entirely new set of CD-quality waveforms, such as new acoustic piano with delicate nuances. Bundled editor software makes it easy to dive in and program your own sounds.
Made for Performance
With the new Multi Chord Memory function, musicians can play a variety of complex chords using a single note. Or trigger phrases at the touch of a key using the Phrase/Arpeggio Generator. The RS-50 also features a Rhythm Guide function for jamming along with several preset rhythm patterns.
Loaded with Extras
The RS50 features Roland's popular D Beam Controller for controlling functions like pitch or filter cutoff using an infrared beam of light. The D Beam can also be used to control Roland's unique Active Expression feature, which makes it easy to fade in a second sound or change the volume and timbre.
