Roland V-Combo VR-730 Performance Keyboard
Roland V-Combo VR-730 Performance Keyboard Product Overview by GAK
The Roland VR-730 73-note waterfall keyboard combines desirable classic sounds with a vintage look at a portable weight of just 21lbs, perfect for the travelling performer. The VR730's onboard organs respond intuitively to classic techniques while acoustic/electric piano and synth engines offer further tones seamlessly.
Seven simultaneous effects include rotary, delay, reverb, tone, overdrive, compressor, and MFX, and the dedicated knobs tweak multiple parameters for powerful sound shaping with minimal effort. Each of these settings can be accessed via three distinct panel sections, meaning the ability to navigate and adapt your sound live is right at your fingertips. With its versatile, flexible operation and portable build, the VR-730 will certainly become a new favourite among on-the-move keyboardists seeking classic sounds.

Phenomenal; sound, easy to use. Was considering a Nord but found the build quality poor and the waterfall keyboard was distinctly 'loose'. We all have our preferences but although the pro-Nordies will dispute it, I simply couldn't justify the extra cost when this product delivered outstanding build quality and a brilliant sound package.
