When it comes to MIDI controllers, playability often seems like a distant echo of the real feel. The A-88MKII brings our famous keyboard to your studio, cherished by professional musicians worldwide. Its robust wooden construction delivers a professional playing experience that you can feel under your fingertips. You can easily adjust the keyboard's sensitivity and response time to match your playing style.

Deep Expression

With three programmable zones on the A-88MKII, users can split the keyboard or layer different sounds. Our unique pitch bender/modulator and a set of RGB knobs and pads provide expressive control over your sound. The sustain pedal input and two fully configurable pedal jacks mean your feet can also join the action.

Creative Control

Contemporary music styles demand specialized production techniques. Some software synthesizers and modules don't always have the built-in tools you might need. The A-88MKII expands your creative arsenal with three configurable zones, an advanced arpeggiator, chord memory, and multifunctional pads that can trigger commands and enhance live performances in real-time.

MIDI 2.0 and USB-C

The A-88MKII leverages the latest technologies for universal compatibility and convenience. The USB-C port provides power and connectivity through a single cable to macOS, Windows, and iOS devices. The A-88MKII is ready to harness the extended capabilities of MIDI 2.0.

Personalized Control. Instant Recall.

Customize the A-88MKII with the control app for macOS and Windows. View all layers and control mappings quickly, assign unique colors to pads for visual feedback, and create personal settings for controlling software synthesizers or external hardware. You can instantly recall everything with the Snap Shot feature.

Less Is More

In today's personal studios, space is always at a premium. The A-88MKII is as slim and shallow as possible while maintaining the smooth, dynamic playability for which Roland instruments are known. The surfaces are flat, and the edges are square, ensuring that the instrument lies flat, fits snugly with other equipment, or integrates seamlessly with your studio desk.
