VR-760 specifications

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.

One of the standout features of the VR-760 is its extensive collection of sounds optimized for live performance. It comes equipped with a sophisticated organ section that offers a range of vintage and modern tones. Musicians can achieve classic rotary speaker effects, which are essential for creating an authentic organ sound. The keybed is designed for expressiveness, ensuring that all nuances are captured, making it ideal for dynamic playing.

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.

The synthesizer section of the VR-760 includes extensive waveform options and modulation capabilities. Users can explore a wide range of synthesis styles, allowing them to manipulate sounds in real-time during performances. The advanced sound engine ensures that the sounds generated remain rich and full, even when heavily modulated.
