Rhodes was dissatisfied with Roland's treatment of the marque, and had plans to reintroduce his iconic electric piano, but died before he was able to bring it to market. [ 45 ] V-MODA designs and develops "world‑class high‑fidelity headphones and audio devices" and became a part of the Roland family on 8 August 2016 also known as 808 Day.
The Roland MKS-20 is a digital piano–type sound module released by Roland Corporation in 1986, simultaneously with the Roland RD-1000 digital stage piano.The MKS-20 and RD-1000 share the same "Structured/Adaptive Synthesis" sound engine; the RD-1000 integrates that engine into a musical keyboard-type MIDI controller with size, weight, and features similar to the Roland MKB-1000.
Roland introduced digital pianos known as the Rhodes MK80 and MK60 in 1989, and were essentially re-engineered versions of Roland's own RD-1000 (which they closely resembled), but Harold Rhodes disapproved of the instruments, which were made without his consultation.

Pianist Roland Lamb founded ROLI in 2009 while a graduate student at London's Royal College of Art.His first prototype of the Seaboard was a response to the design limitations of the piano keyboard as a mechanical interface. [5]
The sounds of a high-end stage piano are usually created through sampling or complex digital signal processing-modelling, methods of higher quality compared to what is commonly found on digital keyboards, which use relatively simple synthesis methods to allow for more, different types of sounds, albeit in lower quality.

The U-20 is described by Roland as a 'RS-PCM keyboard', where RS stands for R e S ynthesized because the sound-engine can play back a modified version of stored PCM samples.
