Roland VR 09 V-Combo

Professional, travel-ready live performance keyboard with instant-access operation for performing musicians that is the ideal all-in-one solution for performing keyboard players and was designed from the ground up with the needs of live players in mind. An intuitive front-panel layout and clear LCD screen offers quick access to Roland’s top piano, organ, and synth sound engines, along with plenty of real-time controls for expressive tone manipulation. Seven simultaneous effects include rotary, delay, reverb, tone, overdrive, compressor, and customizable MFX, with dedicated knobs that tweak multiple parameters with a single twist for powerful sound shaping with minimal effort. The smart interface makes it simple to set up splits and layers on the fly, and to save all ythe keyboard settings in user memory locations for instant recall on stage. The keyboard is filled with a wide selection of piano sounds for covering all musical styles. The gorgeous acoustic grand piano features 88-note stereo multi-sampling, delivering pro-level tone that rivals Roland’s dedicated stage pianos. Many popular vintage E. Piano sounds are onboard as well, along with complimentary effects such as vintage phaser and tremolo. The compressor – accessible via a dedicated, easy-to-reach knob – transparently boosts the level of the piano sounds, ensuring that the playing always cuts through when performing in loud bands. Roland’s renowned SuperNATURAL technology powers the keyboard’s classic tonewheel organs, while nine harmonic bars provide authentic real-time performance control. A newly developed transistor-type organ is also included, offering the unique sound of combo instruments from the 1960s. The 61-note keyboard has an extremely fast response, perfect for essential organ techniques such as trill, sputter, glissando, and percussive hits. Rotary speaker and amp simulators reproduce the characteristics of vintage organ speaker cabinets and overdriven tube circuits with astounding realism, while a new “Twin Rotary” option delivers a deep, aggressive effect never before heard. The keyboard is also packed with a ton of ready-to-play synthesizer sounds, from vintage analogue classics like JUNO strings and ‘80s synth brass to textured, modern-era digital tones and beyond. Front-panel controllers allow user to tweak the synth tones intuitively in real time, including convenient ADR and cut-off/resonance adjustment with the harmonic bars in the ORGAN block. Onboard effects like “Bit Crash” provide the ability to create modern synth voices for current dance music, including dubstep. Free Editor app for iPad provides powerful, intuitive control of the organ and synth sound engines via the tablet’s full-colour touchscreen interface. Convenient, cable-free communication between the keyboard and iPad is simple to set up with Roland Wireless Connect. Alternately, user can link up the devices with a USB cable via Apple’s iPad Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, depending on the iPad model. An AC adaptor, power cord and a USB memory protector are all included. Dimensions: 1008 x 300 x 106 mm. Weight: 5.5 kg.
