The Roland E-A7 Arranger Keyboard is a versatile and advanced arranger keyboard designed for musicians needing a huge variety of professional tones with an easy-to-use interface. Weighing in at just 7.9kg, the Roland E-A7 is easy to carry to any gig or performance.
With over 1500 onboard tones, 61 velocity-sensitive keys, dedicated quick access controls, backing tracks from across the world, and two innovative LCD displays, the E-A7 allows you to perform and create music like never before.
The Roland E-A7 incorporates a massive 1500 sounds ranging from piano to organ, from strings to brass, and many more. The E-A7 is perfect for every genre, playing style, and performance environment, and includes authentic sounds from across the globe.
The huge selection of styles available onboard expands on the collection available in the BK-Series keyboards, and this is further expandable from the large library of historic Roland arranger patterns.
Not only does the E-A7 feature a huge library of sounds, but it also has the ability to import all your favorite sounds and samples via the WAV import option. Sample importing is made easy by simply connecting the E-A7 to your computer and transferring across your favorite sounds, or using the onboard sampling function to create your own custom sounds, drum beats, and even backing vocals. Everything you need to polish the sound, including applying effects, is already onboard.
Designed to optimize your performance, the E-A7 features a logical layout and design with two LCD screens providing real-time feedback. The default screen layout shows backing styles to the left, while the right screen shows which sound is currently selected. By separating this information and providing 156 fast access buttons, it is simpler to select and switch sounds and allows you to focus on your live performance instead of tweaking overly complicated controls.
When you’re at a gig, you just need things to work, so the E-A7 gives direct access to the most common functions needed when you play. Six phrase pads are available to trigger one-shot audio samples or MIDI phrases just where you need them. You can define and switch to alternate musical scales at the touch of a button. There are also six sliders that can adjust the volume of the various parts such as drums, bass, and the accompaniment. Finally, there are seven user-assignable buttons above the pitch bend lever for your own custom requirements.
If vocals are an important part of your repertoire, the E-A7 has a microphone input along with dedicated volume controls on the front panel. Just turn the knob to instantly adjust the vocal level with no menus in sight. You also get an array of pro-grade vocal effects to add polish to your performance, with a versatile selection of editable reverbs and delays onboard.
