Roland EARTH Piano Software Instrument Debuts At 2025 NAMM Show
At the 2025 NAMM Show, held Jan 21–25 in Anaheim, CA, Roland is showcasing EARTH Piano, a powerful software-based musical instrument available on Roland Cloud.
EARTH Piano features multiple acoustic piano types and deep customization options, via an intuitive user interface. It’s based on detailed multi-sampling with proprietary modeling techniques.
The official intro video:
EARTH Piano includes seven distinctive instruments that can be modified to taste.
There are resonant concert grands for jazz and classical styles, polished and punchy pianos for studio tracks, and upright, felt, and toy pianos.
Players can control the temperament, stereo width, and dynamic range and tweak physical sounds like cabinet resonance, string resonance, pedal noise, and more. They can also adjust each key’s tuning, volume, and character to create the perfect tone and response for a performance or track.
EARTH Piano’s Venue effect leverages advanced convolution techniques to place a piano in nine different spaces derived from real locations, such as a spacious cathedral, a world-class concert hall, or an intimate studio or lounge setting. With a click on the visual display, the listening perspective can be changed to access a variety of aural experiences within every space. Algorithmic reverbs are also available for standard mixing applications.
EARTH Piano includes a wide selection of integrated studio-grade effects for enhancing sounds. Users can shape the overall tone with a three-band EQ and use the multi-mode compressor to create the ideal dynamic response. There are also 90 multi-effects combinations available to add subtle color or take conventional piano sounds into unexplored sonic territories.
The Roland EARTH Piano is now available with a Lifetime Key purchase or Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, which users can try for free with a 30-day all-access trial. To learn more, visit Roland.com.
