Roland’s High-performance, Do-it-all Stage Keyboard
Professional keyboardists need a stage- and studio-ready instrument that provides immediate access to a premium soundset. Enter the Roland V-Stage. With your core categories — Organ, Acoustic Piano, Electric Piano, and Synthesizer — cleanly and logically laid out across its control panel, the V-Stage makes quick work of finding the right sound. Straddling a Master section with an LCD status screen plus compression and EQ for shaping the output for different venues, each section contains essential hands-on controls — knobs, buttons, and drawbars (in the Organ section) — to quickly nail the sounds you need. In addition, there’s a Total Effects section to tweak them to perfection. To suit a range of keyboardist preferences, Roland offers the V-Stage with your choice of keybeds. The V-Stage88 is fitted with Roland’s flagship 88-key Ivory Feel weighted hammer-action keyboard with escapement, whereas the V-Stage76 features a semi-weighted waterfall-action keyboard with aftertouch. Whichever V-Stage model you select, you can be assured of flawless Roland-caliber playability.

Four beastly sound engines — no waiting
For instant gratification, Roland equipped the V-Stage76 with four independent sound engines powered by its cutting-edge tech. Audiences will be delighted, and producers will be impressed by stunning grand pianos driven by the V-Piano engine; the chimey, growling electric pianos, courtesy of SuperNATURAL modeling; the searing synth leads powered by the ZEN-Core synthesizer engine; and the vintage transistor and pipe organs (complete with overdrive and rotary speaker FX) propelled by three-layer Virtual Tone Wheel technology. Packed with Roland's advanced technology, the V-Stage76 is a high-performance do-it-all keyboard designed to ace hectic live gigs and demanding studio sessions. Pro keyboardists would be well advised to give this superb stage piano a serious audition.
Powered by leading-edge technology
Leveraging Roland’s leading-edge technology, the V-Stage76 is yet another innovative musical instrument from this trend-setting Japanese company. With a rich history that extends back to 1972, Roland is responsible for many industry firsts, including the world’s first touch-sensitive electronic piano, the first microprocessor-controlled drum machine, the first guitar synthesizer, USB audio interface, wireless guitar amp, and physical modeling systems for guitar, bass, and accordion. In 1983, Roland produced the world's first MIDI sequencer and its first MIDI-equipped synth — two products that would contribute to the establishment of the protocol as an industry standard. Today, the company’s proprietary V-Piano, SuperNATURAL, ZEN-Core, Virtual Tone Wheel, and V-Drums technologies continue to advance the state of the art in modern digital pianos, synthesizers, organs, and electronic drums.
Roland: defining the future of music
Over the decades, Roland has released a cavalcade of groundbreaking, highly influential, and genre-defining products such as the SH-1000 (its first synthesizer), the RE-201 Space Echo, the JC series guitar amps, the TR-808 rhythm machine, the TB-303 bass line, the GR-500 guitar synth, the Jupiter-8 polyphonic synth, the Aerophone digital wind instrument, and its Boss-branded effects pedals, to name but a few. With the launch of the world’s first digital piano (the RD-1000) in 1986, Roland cemented its status as an innovator working to usher in the modern era of digital music production. Over the last half-century, Roland has altered the course of music production and live performance. And with its vast product portfolio and prolific R&D program, the company is poised to continue doing so well into the future. Sweetwater is excited to offer you Roland’s abundant range of advanced musical instruments.
