Roland V-Combo VR-730 Live Performance Digital Piano

Waterfall Keyboard

Roland have incorporated a waterfall keyboard design for the VR-730. Waterfall keys feature a rounded edge that allows musicians to trill and glissando between notes with ease. The waterfall design is notable with organs, but due to subtle modern adjustments, the VR-730 is instantly familiar to all musician styles. The keys are semi weighted for achieving percussive passages, as well as performing smooth, subtle pieces. The keyboard modes include dual and split settings for students who want to play accompanied by a tutor.

Extensive Sound Range

The VR-730 is ideal for musicians who want extensive sound possibilities at every gig. The three generators include Virtual Tone Wheel, SuperNATURAL and PCM. Each generator has been tuned specifically to deliver the most organic sound possible. The VR-730 includes an extensive number of high-quality electric pianos in stereo quality. The 128 polyphony is combined with stereo multi sampling and results in tones full of depth, frequency balance and authentic response. This keyboard also benefits from a number of effects including tremolo, phasing and a realistic rotary.

Easy to Use Controls

The control panel is separated into organ, synths and effects sections for an organised look. The LCD backlit screen acts as a central hub for your tones, whilst the knobs and slides offer quick adjustments in any situation. The black background with white writing and lit indicators allow you to easily read the controls in low-lighting venues. The controls are robust and durable for lasting use time after time. The VR-730 also benefits from a DBEAM function for adding spontaneous, Theremin styled sounds.

Lightweight & Portable

The VR-730 is built to last on the road. By incorporating three instruments in one, musicians can save on the space, and travel lightly. The VR-730 features a durable steel frame with wooden sides, protecting it from impact. The knobs and sliders are tightly fastened underneath the frame to prevent them coming loose. Weighing just 9.9KG, this keyboard is easy to transport.
