Elegant Expression
Discover rich, full sound with complex overtones and harmonics delivered by Roland’s advanced Piano Reality Modeling technology. From pianissimo to fortissimo, breathe life into your music with a wide dynamic range and nuanced playability. Add depth to specific notes through half-pedaling with the continuous sustain pedal. And personalize the sound by changing the timbre of the piano. 

A Symphony of Sounds
The versatile LX-9 provides an extensive spectrum of tonal nuances and expressive capabilities that intuitively adapt to your playing. Begin gently to evoke a dignified, soothing timbre, and when you crescendo, the tone dynamically brightens in response to your touch. As emotions and technique intertwine in your playing, the LX-9 faithfully mirrors your passion.

Responsive Touch
The LX-9 delivers an organic playing experience that naturally responds to your touch. From commanding fortissimo excerpts to half-touch and rapid trills, the sensitive keyboard translates unlimited tonal colors. Legato, staccato, and other articulations ring true with precision key release control. Haptic feedback and the escapement mechanism provide immediate acoustic interaction within expressive passages. Long hybrid keys allow for a consistent weighted feel regardless of the hand position on the keyboard, reducing the risk of strain during extended practice sessions or performances. 

Lose Yourself in Music
A space’s ambience is a crucial part of an acoustic piano sound. From a vast concert hall to an intimate studio space, Piano Reality Ambience puts six environments at your fingertips. Eight speakers independently deliver the sound of different instrument elements, including string and cabinet resonances, subtle hammer noise, and more. When you want to play silently, plug in headphones for an immersive solo experience. 

A Sound Investment
The LX-9’s classic upright design strikes a sophisticated pose in any environment. A movable lid and discreet blackout screen convey the same look as an acoustic piano. Second-floor installation woes are now a thing of the past—the LX-9 ships in two boxes for easy setup in any room. And thanks to its digital design, this fine instrument requires none of the regular tuning and other maintenance costs that come with owning an acoustic piano.

Piano Designer
Dive deeper into your piano’s sound and adjust the character of each note, including string tuning and temperament. Fine-tune the tone and resonance to your space for the optimal acoustic response. Then save your tuning adjustments as customized presets to summon if several pianists share the LX-9.

Make a Connection
Access deeper settings, play along with streamed music, find digital scores, and more when you pair with the Roland Piano App and other music apps via Bluetooth. Discover additional digital features like Twin Piano mode for same-range duets, an onboard recorder to evaluate progress, and a metronome to hone your timing skills.
