Description
The Roland KPD-70 is a dedicated triple pedal unit for the FP-30 digital piano, ideal for players who want an authentic acoustic feel at home. Whether you are building classical repertoire, preparing exam pieces or simply seeking finer control, it gives you the full set of damper, sostenuto and soft pedals found on a traditional upright. Paired with the matching KSC-70 stand, it creates a compact, furniture style setup that looks smart in any room. If you are moving on from a basic footswitch, this is the straightforward way to unlock greater expression and develop proper pedalling technique with your FP-30.
Built to Roland’s reliable standard, the KPD-70 uses a rigid, full width frame that stays put during energetic passages, with smooth, quiet pedal action that feels natural underfoot. Each pedal is weighted for confident control, and the damper supports half pedalling for nuanced, graded sustain that mirrors an acoustic piano. It is a clear step up from entry level switch pedals, offering the complete palette of three pedal functions for advanced repertoire and realistic pedalling practice. Integration with the FP-30 and KSC-70 keeps cable runs tidy for a clean, cohesive look.
For students following UK tuition, the KPD-70 supports the demands of graded study where confident pedalling becomes essential from intermediate levels upward. Access to soft, sostenuto and continuous damper control encourages correct technique, so pieces can be prepared at home exactly as they are assessed. Teachers value the stable, furniture style setup, which promotes consistent posture and makes it easier to demonstrate nuanced pedalling. The understated black finish blends well into practice rooms and living spaces, while the robust mechanism stands up to daily use by families or shared practice in schools.
If you already own an FP-30, this is the most direct route to a more piano like experience without taking extra space. Installation onto the KSC-70 stand is straightforward, creating a tidy, integrated instrument that invites longer practice sessions. The dependable feel and half damper response make expressive playing natural, helping learners progress and allowing experienced players to shape tone and texture with confidence. It is a practical, great value upgrade that transforms the FP-30 into a convincing home piano for daily practice, teaching and small performances.
