Switching the Damper Pedal’s Polarity

Damper Polarity (STANDARD/REVERSE)

Switch the polarity of damper pedals connected to the VR- 760.

On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE.

If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.

Although you can connect either a switch-type pedal or half damper-type pedal to the DAMPER PEDAL jack, if you are using a half damper pedal, be sure to use only the specified pedal (DP-8, sold separately). Connecting pedals from other manufacturers may damage the instrument.

Settings Affecting the Overall VR-760 (SYSTEM BASIC)

Tuning to Other Instruments’ Pitches

Master Tune (415.3Hz-466.2Hz)

This is a fine adjustment to the pitch of the VR-760. You can adjust the pitch of the entire instrument in 1 cent steps, relative to the pitch of A4 (middle A) = 440.0 Hz.

Transposing the Keyboard

Key Transpose (-6+5)

This transposes the keyboard. The value is in semitone steps over a range of -6-0-+5. With a setting of 0, there will be no transposition.

Changing the Key Touch

Key Touch (LIGHT/MEDIUM/HEAVY)

The setting below allows you to adjust the response you get from the keyboard when you finger the keys.

Value

Explanation

 

 

LIGHT

This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can

 

achieve fortissimo play with a less forceful

 

touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter.

 

This setting makes it easy to play, even for

 

children.

 

 

MEDIUM

This sets the keyboard to the standard touch.

 

You can play with the most natural touch. This

 

is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

HEAVY

This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You

 

have to finger the keyboard more forcefully

 

than usual in order to play fortissimo, so the

 

keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic

 

fingering adds even more feeling to what you

 

play.

 

 

Applying Damper Effect to the Organ Part

Organ Damper SW (ON/OFF)

With the factory settings, the damper pedal is not applied to the organ part. You can set the VR-760 so that the damper pedal is effect applied to the organ part by setting Organ Damper SW to ON.

Applying Damper Effect to the Synth Part

Synth Damper SW (ON/OFF)

You can set the synth part’s damper pedal effect on or off. Setting this to OFF, the damper pedal is not applied to the synth part.

Applying Expression Effect to the Piano Part

Piano Exp SW (ON/OFF)

With the factory settings, the Expression pedal is not applied to the piano part. You can set the VR-760 so that the Expression pedal is effect applied to the piano part by setting Piano Exp SW to ON.

Switching the Control Pedal’s Polarity

Control Polarity (STANDARD/REVERSE)

Switch the polarity of control pedals connected to the VR- 760.

On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE.

If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.
