Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland VA-76 V-Arranger Keyboard.

The VA-76 is the 76-key (weighted synthesizer action), professional version of the widely acclaimed VA-7. VariPhrase, brandnew and strikingly realistic sounds and Drum Sets, all-new Music Styles, an animated touch screen, an Audio In connector with separate effects, 2 programmable “Pad” buttons, a programmable Lyrics function, 4 assignable outputs

– and a sober, intuitive user interface are just the most exciting new features.

To get the most out of the VA-76 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this Owner’s Manual thoroughly.

•To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and only use “key” when refer- ring to the VA-76’s keyboard. Also, in order to avoid mixups between the “real” buttons on the front panel and the “soft- ware buttons” on the touch screen, we shall use the word “field” for the on-screen buttons.

•The contents of the illustrations appearing in this manual may differ slightly from what you see when you start using your instrument.

Before using this instrument, carefully read the sections entitled, “Using the unit safely”, and “Important notes”. These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the VA-76. Be sure to keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
