V-STAGE elevates the all-in-one gigging keyboard to a new dimension of creative power and control, fusing Roland’s premium sound technologies with a speedy workflow purpose-built for the needs of serious pro players. Experience a world of sonic expression with four advanced sound engines, elegantly intuitive interfaces, and exceptional playability for the best performance every time.
Roland has released the V-STAGE version 1.10 update, now available for download Roland's website. This update expands the instrument with a brand-new Vocoder Part, delivering everything from lush vocal layers to classic robotic textures, and increases the total parts from five to six for more expressive performance options. It also adds dedicated effect and reverb processing for the Mic Input, giving singers and keyboardists professional-grade vocal control for both live shows and studio recording.
V-STAGE keyboards offer four independent sound engines featuring the best of Roland’s behavior modeling and sound technologies. Discrete sections provide dedicated controls for seamless operation while performing.
Rich, dynamic pianos powered by V-Piano technology, including two concert grands, an upright piano, and a felt-treated model for a unique soft sound. High-speed DSP eliminates the roadblocks of systems based solely on samples, providing natural response, unlimited expression, and full polyphony.
This newly developed EP engine includes tine, reed, digital piano, and clavinet instruments crafted with the latest SuperNATURAL advancements. Split, octave, detune, and key touch controls are available, plus a Sound Lift knob for cutting through dense band mixes. Selectable MFX, a tremolo effect, and an amp sim are also within easy reach.
This section features a three-layer console organ powered by Roland’s renowned Virtual Tone Wheel tech, two classic transistor models, and a pipe organ. Harmonic bars and percussion controls provide an authentic organ experience, complemented by overdrive, vibrato/chorus, and a rotary speaker effect with variable speed and mic positioning.
Explore over 400 onboard ZEN-Core tones to cover every musical style. Two simultaneous parts are available with fast sound-shaping via attack, release, filter, and other controls. V-STAGE supports ZEN-Core patch and sound options on Roland Cloud, including Model Expansions based on the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and other vintage Roland analog synths (free downloads for registered owners).
The ergonomic V-STAGE interface is designed to make music in the moment. Adjust tones on the fly with the intuitive panel layout, sleek color LCD, and clearly labeled top-level controls. Enhance sounds with the Total Effects section and a large selection of effects from the Roland library. And use the Master section’s EQ and compressor to quickly fine-tune the overall output for every venue you play in.
Organize and recall sounds with 512 scenes, each containing an entire keyboard setup with up to five tones and all available effects. Build chains of up to 128 scenes for rapid-fire selection through your stage setlist, complete with smooth, uninterrupted sound during transitions. Four rear-panel jacks support numerous floor-control options, including hold/damper pedals, footswitches, and expression pedals. Two dedicated USB inputs are also available to connect external MIDI controllers such as the Roland A-49 or A-PRO series.
V-STAGE models feature supremely playable Roland keyboards that fully connect you to each instrument’s premium sounds. Dive into an authentic acoustic piano experience with V-STAGE 88 and its 88-note weighted keyboard with hammer action, escapement, and Ivory Feel keys. Or choose V-STAGE 76 and a newly developed 76-note semi-weighted waterfall keyboard for a traditional organ feel.
Get connected with the house PA and stage monitors via balanced XLR and 1/4-inch stereo main outputs and two balanced sub outputs that can be customized for discrete sound feeds. Integrate with laptops and mobile devices on stage with onboard USB-C class-compliant audio/MIDI. Plug in an XLR mic to sing along. Or use the stereo line input to mix in an external instrument such as a drum machine or keyboard.
