An oriental-themed keyboard capable of micro-tonal play and sounds.

The Roland EXR-46 OR Interactive Arranger Keyboard comes with features and sounds vital to achieving the exotic micro-tonal scale sounds from traditional Middle Eastern, Indian, and Asian music. It retains many of the popular design characteristics of its predecessor (the beloved EXR-40 OR) with user-requested improvements to the fundamental elements: sounds, styles, and Music Assistant features.

The EXR-46 OR has a PCM sound source that provides 650 panel sounds (107 oriental), 33 drum kits (13 oriental), phrase samples, and preprogrammed patterns from Turkey and various Middle Eastern and Arabic regions. There are plucked-instrument patches with multiple articulations based on key touch and 17 types of unique Arabic vocal phrases and one-shot drum phrases, great for reproducing Arabic dance music. The Automatic Drum-Pad keyboard-mapping feature for easy percussion performance and programming. The large backlit LCD and dedicated front-panel controls provide fast navigation through sounds, patterns, transposition, tempo adjust, and song arrangement. It also has USB/MIDI connections, high-quality stereo speaker system, effects, 149 styles, and 200 user programs.

Expanded Sound Bank
The EXR-46 OR is pre-installed with so many excellent sounds and patterns, there's no need for additional expansion boards, sound libraries, or other costly upgrades. With over 30% more wave ROM than its EXR-40 OR predecessor, the EXR-46 OR offers dozens of authentic sounds, drum kits, and phrase samples from a wide range of Arabian Gulf-region countries.

One-Touch Song Creation
With dozens of authentic Music Styles preprogrammed into the EXR-46 OR, song arrangements can be created quickly and easily in real time. Thanks to the level of care and quality that went into the sound design and pattern creation, the EXR-46 OR perfectly captures the musical spirit of Turkey, Syria, Iran, and other colorful locales.

On-Location Creation
In order to realize the highest level of authenticity, the EXR-46 OR was designed in collaboration with musical masters from each stylistic region. Combined with the EXR-46 OR's high-resolution sound engine, these custom-made waveforms and patterns are amazingly realistic to the ear.

New Drum-Pad Function
Performing and programming drum/percussion parts is made easy on the EXR-46 OR thanks to its automatic Drum-Pad mapping capabilities. This handy feature instantly reassigns the highest range of keyboard (F6-C7) to function as dedicated drum pads.
