Playing the VR-700
About the VR-700’s Parts
The VR-700 has three parts: Upper part, Lower part, and Pedal part.
You can play a different sound in each of the three parts.
Upper Part
When using an external MIDI keyboard
If you connect an external MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN connector
on the rear panel, you can use your external MIDI keyboard to play
the upper part while using the VR-700’s keyboard to play the lower
part (or vice versa).
