KR-103

Digital Intelligent Piano

KR-103
Discontinued

The KR-103 provides a cost-effective way for entry-level piano students and hobbyists to experience Roland’s acclaimed KR series. With hundreds of great sounds onboard (including grand piano), plus friendly auto-accompaniment features, the KR-103 can deliver the sound of an entire ensemble through its built-in stereo speaker system. It’s a virtual band (or orchestra) in one instrument!

Compact Progressive Hammer Action

The KR-103 is outfitted with Roland’s Compact Progressive Hammer-Action keyboard, which simulates a real grand piano by providing a heavier touch in the lower octaves that gets increasingly lighter in the upper range. It has many of the same design elements as Roland’s acclaimed Progressive Hammer-Action Keyboard.

Great Sounds

The KR-103’s sounds are vibrant and realistic. Many of the sounds have been refined and processed to provide added color and impact. Combined with the new amplification system, the KR-103’s sounds will inspire and impress, from crystal clear high end to powerful low frequencies.

LCD

Navigating a state-of-the-art instrument has never been friendlier, thanks to the KR-103’s attractive LCD with accompanying front-panel buttons. No more fumbling to find the right menu or button.

Music Styles

The KR-103 comes with 170 all-new Music Styles prepared by Roland’s legendary Style creators. Each pattern contains an Intro, Original, Variation, Fill-In, and Ending element, with additional options via the Style Orchestrator buttons.

Music Assistant

Over 150 Music Assistant songs are onboard the KR-103 to accompany you as you perform. Just play a chord, and the accompaniment intelligently follows your lead!
