Roland VR-700 Playing Ensemble Sounds, Selecting an Ensemble Sound, Octave Shift

Playing Ensemble Sounds

The VR-700 provides ensemble sounds such as piano and strings.

You can play two ensemble sounds simultaneously, and assign them to the desired parts (p. 28). You can also play ensemble sounds layered with organ sounds (p. 29).

By combining these sounds with the organ you can make your performances even more expressive.
