Shape your sound with extensive effects including zone multi-effects (90 types), scene IFX, sympathetic resonance, chorus/delay, reverb, master compressor, and EQ. The intuitive panel layout offers quick access to favorite sounds, 400 editable scenes, rhythm patterns, song player, and full MIDI master keyboard/DAW control capabilities. Connect a microphone for vocals with dedicated input reverb and EQ, stream audio via line input, and integrate seamlessly with computers or mobile devices using the built-in USB audio/MIDI interface.

Compact and road-ready at just under 30 lbs, the RD-88 EX is easy to transport yet feels solid and professional on stage. The clear graphic LCD, assignable controls (two wheels, eight knobs), and versatile connectivity make it perfect for performing musicians who demand authentic piano response combined with modern synth, organ, and world sounds.
