The Roland VR-760 is a versatile stage keyboard designed to cater to the requirements of both live performers and studio musicians. With a blend of organ sounds, electric pianos, and synthesizer textures, the VR-760 stands out for its exceptional sound quality and user-friendly interface.

Additionally, the VR-760 features high-quality electric pianos that replicate the sounds of legendary models. With an expansive library of piano sounds, the keyboard allows for seamless transitions between soft ballads and powerful driving riffs, catering to various genres. The layered sound functionality enables users to combine multiple sounds for a richer audio experience.
