Features of the VR-700
Ensemble section offers high-quality piano and synth sounds
Comes with a stringently selected collection of sounds geared for ensembles. Thanks to the adoption of “88-key multisampling,”
which results in very realistic sounds, you’ll be able to richly express every nuance of your music. Moreover, a wide variety of acoustic
sounds, including analog synthesizers and other electronic musical instruments, and realistic string sounds have also been included,
making it easy for you to contribute a wealth of sounds when playing in a band.

Easy operation—geared for live performances
We’ve placed buttons or knobs right there on the panel for most of functions that a performer needs access to when playing live. And,
since everything has been grouped together according to function, the VR-700 can be controlled simply and logically. Additionally,
we’ve made the buttons self-illuminating, so you don’t need to worry about finding things when you’re on a dark stage. Together, this
means that even the first-time user should experience no problems when using the VR-700, since it’s operation is intuitive.
And, once you have a certain combination of sounds you like, and have made a whole range of detailed settings, you can store your
efforts as a “Favorite,” and have instant access to it later simply by pressing a button.

Equipped with player feature
The instrument comes stocked with a variety of rhythm patterns, which can be used as a “rhythm guide.” Thanks to this, you can gain
practice along more musical lines, when compared to simply using a metronome.
In addition, the inclusion of a USB memory connector allows you to make use of SMF, WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files stored on USB flash
drives. Such files can be played back when practicing or be used as backing while performing.

Beautifully refined design
The VR-700’s metallic-colored body presents a striking image on stage. And, the distinctive quality of it’s real wood side panels can
only get better with age.
* Like all fine products made of wood, the wooden side panels can be easily scratched. Please treat them with the care they deserve.
