Roland V-COMBO VR-09-B Live Performance Keyboard

This is the secret Roland Stage Keyboard from 13 years ago that still sells today. Why? Because it is excellent value for money and sounds awesome! You are going to get sounds out of this that can only be found on much more expensive boards. The record modes and looper are awesome too. You can record entire songs as MIDI with motion control and then play them back changing the instruments in mid song. Amazing! The external input jack is great too. Very handy to jam along to songs or feed in external synths. The built in rhythm section is nice too. The entire package is very well thought out and out together. It is a central component to my live rig. It is light, portable and offers a full range of Roland SuperNatural sounds as well as the special Organ sim with rotary speaker emulation. If you are doing live work this thing is extremely fast to get around. I don't know of many other keyboards where everything is so easy to get to. Mostly everything is knob per function although there is an iPad app and a desktop app if you really want to get into very deep changes to the core engine. But honestly that is totally unnecessary for most use cases. The keyboard could be better. It is pretty noisy and I am not a huge fan of the short throw, but on the positive side it is extremely responsive. I would probably have got the 730 with the better keybed if I had the space, but I don't, and I prefer the 61 key version anyway. Apparently this keyboard was designed by Rolands Home Organ department or so I heard. This makes sense because the MIDI implementation is a little bit different to how their synths work. It is also a bit weird in its implementation to help it work better with more modern gear. Could be improved. Roland please update this amazing platform for 2025 with a new keybed and some additional toys and improvements, but keep the basic aesthetic and design. Either way it is really great.

I bought this keyboard as an update to my Roland Juno d and have not been disappointed. Great range of synth sounds, including piano, strings, organ etc. Easy to switch between sounds and pre-sets and the overall sound is impressive. Light and can be battery or PSU powered. A very good value synth for home, studio or stage.

This is a great keyboard for live performance, easy to access sounds and effects, and modulate them. Only gripe: all the drawbar slider buttons came off in transit within 2 days. Come on, Roland, finish your products properly.

manque la fonction bluetooth.

First of all , received on a Wednesday and gigged it on the Saturday . Simple controls . A mind blowing Leslie effect (in stereo hardly a difference to the original. ) I haven't had it long so i haven't gone in to all the technology. Strings and pads are a dream. I can recommend this to anyone. For the price , A great keyboard for allrounders, Especially if your gendre is rock and oldies .

De momento una maravilla. Es un teclado con mas de 10 años de fabricacion pero merece la pena. Esra actualizado con lo necesario para directos. Accesos rapidos sonido gran calidad.

j'en avais marre de trainer mon NORD STAGE aux pratiques .celui là fait très bien l'affaire il est léger et très performant. Et le prix est plus qu'intéressant puisqu'il est facile d'utilisation.

This thing does it all. Organ , pianos, synthesizer, user friendly for the stage. Love it, thank you.
