About the VR-700’s Parts

The VR-700 has three parts: Upper part, Lower part, and Pedal part.

You can play a different sound in each of the three parts.

Upper Part

When using an external MIDI keyboard

If you connect an external MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN connector on the rear panel, you can use your external MIDI keyboard to play the upper part while using the VR-700’s keyboard to play the lower part (or vice versa).
