Pro Acoustic & Electric Pianos For Live Performance
The dedicated piano, organ and synth engines contain a huge
range of essential sounds, perfect for creative musicians. The
beautiful acoustic grand piano features 88-note stereo multi
sampling and delivers professional level piano sound that rivals
Roland's dedicated stage pianos. There are also a full host of
vintage E.Piano sounds with complementary effects including vintage
phaser and tremolo. An easy to reach knob activates the compressor
which boosts the sounds so it cuts through even the loudest
band.
World Class Organ Sounds
Roland's SuperNATURAL technology powers the VR-09-B's tonewheel
organs with nine harmonic bars providing instant performance
control. A newly developed transistor-type organ offers the unique
sound of combo instruments from the 1960s. The keyboard has an
extremely fast response perfect for 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 impressive realism and a
new Twin Rotary option delivers a unique, deep and aggressive
effect.
Vintage & Modern Synth Tones
The V-Combo VR-09-B is packed with 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 you to tweak the synth tones intuitively in real
time, including convenient ADSR and cutoff/resonance adjustment
with the harmonic bars from the organ block. Effects like Bit Crash
help you create modern sounds for current dance music genres
including Dubstep.
Intuitive Operation For Expressive Stage Performance
The V-Combo's layout is especially designed for live
performances. The sound engines are organised in three easy to
reach blocks on the front panel alongside a clear LCD screen,
allowing for easy access when performing, especially useful on dark
stages. You have full control over your sound with nine sliders and
an array of knobs and buttons for tweaking effects and parameters
such as rotary, delay, reverb, tone, overdrive, compressor, and a
customisable MFX section. The smart interface also makes it simple
to set up splits and layers on the fly, and to save all your
keyboard settings in the user memory for instant recall during
gigs.
Free VR-09-B iPad Editor For Editing Sounds
Roland's free VR-09-B iPad Editor app for iPad gives you extra
control of the organ and synth sounds using your iPad's
touchscreen. Edit, customise vintage tonewheel characteristics such
as leakage, click noise and rotary speed. Take your iPad to a gig
and use the app for real time controls on stage. Convenient,
cable-free communication between the V-Combo VR-09-B and iPad is
simple to set up with Roland Wireless Connect. You can also link up
with a USB cable via Apple's iPad Camera Connection Kit.
