Product Description

The Roland V-Stage 76 is a truly next-generation and state-of-the-art stage instrument offering a ton of features that will impress even the most high-level gigging musicians and studio pros. The V-Stage 76 features exceptional creative control options, incredible playability and professional-grade sounds. Many other instruments may claim to be the ultimate all-in-one stage solution, but the Roland V-Stage 76 (along with the V-Stage 88) may be the closest yet to earning this title. This instrument packs in four of Roland’s most advanced sound engines paired with a super intuitive workflow for a seemingly endless number of tonal options – all in a durable lightweight and easy to carry package. The V-Stage series will certainly be a game changer in the world of both stage and studio musicians offering the perfect balance of portability, power and reliability for the road. With instant access to studio-grade sounds and an intuitive control surface, the V-Stage 76 will surely be an inspirational addition to any serious musician’s stage or studio arsenal.

Roland has introduced a newly designed 76 note semi-weighted keyboard for the V-Stage 76. It features advanced note velocity detection as well as a waterfall feel – which will certainly be comfortable for a wide range of players including pianists, organists, and synth players. The use of waterfall-keys will make organ techniques and glissandos quite comfortable to perform. Although the V-Stage 76 does not feature weighted keys that a pianist would be most comfortable with, it will still offer control and nuance for any piano playing requirements.

With improved note velocity detection, responsiveness and expressive playing dynamics will be well maintained throughout any performance. Keeping pianists in mind, Roland has designed this action to be both light to the touch with just the right amount of resistance for either delicate or fortissimo style playing. Organists and synth players will be right at home with this action, as it is more than light enough to support high-tempo synth solos and organ slides alike.

The Roland V-Stage 76 boasts a total of four amazing tone engines on board, delivering a seemingly endless combination of studio grade sounds for any application.

• Acoustic Piano Engine – Roland has developed a dynamic acoustic piano engine using their V-Piano technology which offers an array of customizable upright and grand pianos, as well as a felt piano. All the subtle nuances of each piano can be totally tweaked and customized using Roland’s Piano Designer tool. All the tonal complexity of an acoustic instrument is captured accurately and can be fine tuned to each player’s specifications and preferences.
• Electric Piano Engine – Roland has included the latest version of their SuperNATURAL engine to faithfully reproduce authentic tones of all the most beloved vintage and modern electric pianos. Some included advancements offered are adjustable key response, dedicated classic effects (chorus, phaser, tremolo) as well as advanced amp modeling to truly capture the vintage vibes.
• Organ Engine – Roland offers some impressive organ features utilizing their Virtual Tone Wheel technology. It features three-part console models, vintage transistor organs, and a pipe organ mode. Roland has also faithfully reproduced both rotary speaker effects and overdrive for the most authentic and gritty organ tones possible. To add to this authenticity, one of the coolest features is having the hands-on experience of dedicated drawbar-style controls for on-the-go tone adjustments.
• ZEN-Core Synth Engine – A favourite among Roland enthusiasts, the ZEN-Core engine is also included on the V-Stage models offering over 400 onboard sounds, which can be further expanded using Roland’s Cloud SDZ Sound Packs and Model Expansions (including Jupiter-8, Juno-106, JX-8P and SH-101 models). All of these sounds can be layered and customized in real-time providing an endless array of sound textures for the discerning electronic music producer/musician.

Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the Roland V-Stage 76 has you covered with all of the required professional input/output configurations you will need.

• Balanced XLR and ¼” Stereo outputs for high-quality stage and studio performance.
• Two balanced sub outputs for customizable monitor routing.
• XLR microphone input with panel volume control for direct vocal integration.
• Stereo line inputs for connecting external sound sources.
• USB-C audio/MIDI interface for DAW and mobile device compatibility.
• USB memory port for easy setlist and sound backup.
