Roland RPU-3 Piano Pedal Unit for FP/RD Portable Pianos

Quick Product Summary

The Roland RPU-3 is a compact three-pedal unit designed to bring traditional grand-piano pedal control to compatible Roland portable digital pianos and stage pianos. It combines damper, sostenuto and soft pedals into one convenient floor unit, making it ideal for players who want a full piano-style pedal setup without using a furniture-style stand.

Each pedal has its own 1/4-inch output, allowing direct connection to compatible Roland instruments equipped with separate pedal inputs.

What Makes the Roland RPU-3 Special?

The RPU-3 gives portable Roland piano players access to the same three-pedal configuration found on an acoustic grand piano, while retaining the flexibility of a freestanding pedal unit. Its weighted, substantial design helps it remain stable during expressive playing.

On compatible instruments, pedal functions may also be assignable to additional controls such as registration switching or other performance functions, expanding the RPU-3 beyond conventional piano pedalling.

Who Is It For?

The Roland RPU-3 is ideal for:

• Pianists using compatible Roland FP-series digital pianos

• Roland RD stage piano players

• Players wanting damper, sostenuto and soft pedals

• Gigging musicians who need a portable three-pedal solution

• Classical and advanced piano players

• Home players not using a dedicated furniture-style pedal board

• Performers wanting assignable pedal control on compatible instruments
