The GP-9M gives you Roland's best piano experience, offering refined musical expression in a sophisticated and luxurious instrument that makes a majestic statement in any room. This impressive piano includes the same flagship sound and features as its sister model, the GP-9, but adds movable keys, professional audio outputs and a microphone input so you can sing along through the built-in speaker system. This makes the GP-9M ideal for venues, commercial establishments and homeowners looking for the ultimate showcase for piano entertainment.
Modern Elegance
The GP-9M expresses the characteristic elegance of the piano with flowing curves, solid lines and a striking high-gloss finish. Like an acoustic grand piano, the lid can be opened in various positions to adjust the sound character or closed to create a flat surface when not in use. Smart touch controls in the panel provide intuitive access to important functions as needed. And when you're ready to play, you can turn off their backlight to eliminate distractions and preserve the acoustic aesthetic.
Movable keys
The GP-9M has a function with movable keys for entertainment at home and in commercial places such as restaurants and hotels. Play songs from the piano's extensive built-in library or MIDI files via USB flash media, then watch and listen as the keys magically play themselves. Roland Cloud also offers a growing library of songs that you can access through the Roland Piano App.
Versatile connectivity options
Professional XLR outputs allow the piano to be connected directly to a sound system in a venue or commercial establishment for wider sound coverage and independent control from the built-in speakers. All GP-9M sounds go to the outputs by default, but you can assign the dry piano sound, ambience only or song playback to suit your needs. There's also a dedicated microphone input, so an artist can sing through the GP-9M's sound system without the use of an external preamplifier or audio mixer.
Piano Reality
The GP-9M is built around Roland's advanced Piano Reality approach, a sophisticated ecosystem of connected technologies that includes sound engine, keys, pedals, audio components and speakers. Each section is designed to work together flawlessly and transparently, allowing players to experience the purity of this wonderful instrument with unprecedented expression and realism.

And with unlimited polyphony, tones and resonances sound in every detail to translate every musical feeling.
Authentic playability from a concert grand piano
The Piano Reality Concert keyboard offers unlimited expression with progressive hammer action, escapement, hybrid wood/shaped key construction with Ivory Feel and advanced acceleration sensor technology to precisely detect the finest nuances in the game.

A sound experience you can immerse yourself in
The GP-9M is equipped with the Piano Reality Concert projection sound system, where multi-channel amplification, premium sound circuitry and advanced sound processing combine to provide the ultimate full-surround piano experience. The cabinet construction, speaker placement and lid angle are all carefully tuned to deliver the same bold and compelling sound presentation as a concert grand in a showroom.
