Greetings and welcome to the Merriam Pianos KZitem channel! Whether you’re a regular or it's your first time here, we’re happy to have you with us!
Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into Roland’s popular HP702 upper mid-range home digital piano.
Overview
Roland’s HP line has been with us for several decades now as a staple of their home digital piano lineup. The HP702 has been out for a couple of years, but it occurred to us recently that we hadn’t yet gotten around to an individual review of the HP702 despite featuring it in some comparison reviews.
The HP line is targeted at folks seeking a long-term instrument as an alternative to an acoustic piano, and the superb quality of the cabinetry here is very emblematic of that.
While build quality and intended length of use aren’t things that will show up on a specs sheet, we can say confidently that the HP series is built to be a long-term option.
Piano Sound
The HP702 is the home digital entry point into full-scale piano modeling courtesy of its SuperNATURAL Modeling engine, meaning the tone is generated in real-time via algorithms as opposed to replaying a triggered sample.
The default piano tone here is highly immersive, and undoubtedly very complex. It also happens to be very dynamic, and because an algorithm is generating everything here, the user is given access to the various algorithmic parameters which can be modified.
The editing capabilities are available to the user via the onboard Piano Designer function, and whether you want to just dabble or go super deep, this function is super impressive.
The polyphony also happens to be limitless with acoustic piano tones, and a killer 384 notes on all non-acoustic piano tones. There are 324 total onboard sounds here, and beyond the acoustic piano tones, the electric pianos are a definite highlight.
The core sounds are all pro quality, and the remaining sounds are from the GMII sound bank.
Piano Action
The HP702 is equipped with the tried and true PHA4 Standard Keyboard Action. This action has been around for several years now and is well-regarded within the industry. Anyone familiar with our channel will know we’re huge fans of the PHA4 action here at Merriam Pianos.
The PHA4 boasts a triple sensor, escapement and a good texture on the keytops. It’s going to be a great action for jazz, pop and contemporary styles, and even some classical players, though more advanced players will prefer the longer pivot length and wooden parts featured in the PHA50, which becomes available in the model up - the HP704.
The MIDI output is extremely reliable so for studio use, there are no concerns there.
Features/Connectivity
The control interface on the HP702 is one of our favorites in the entire piano industry. Even within Roland’s lineup, we think the HP line stands out for its clarity and ease of use.
Staples like metronome, split, dual, transpose and registration are all covered so no worries there.
For connectivity, the HP702 has both Bluetooth MIDI and Audio, ¼” line outputs, a stereo mini line in, USB Type A and B and dual headphone jacks.
Roland’s new app simply titled the Roland Piano App is compatible with the HP702, which is very good and worth checking out.
The HP702 also comes preloaded with tons of classical music, and you have the ability to turn off the right or left-hand parts for practicing.
With such a big focus on cabinetry, the HP702 is available in a variety of finishes - Charcoal Black, Dark Rosewood, Light Oak and White.
Thanks for watching!
