For CHARACTERISTICS, see the opinion of Frog is full rev.
In fact, I had a lot hsit between the Roland VR-760 and NordElectro, the equivalent of at keyboard. It's a bit on this THEME I build that opinion:

CHARACTERISTICS: the harmonic bars, COSM amp modlisation, big yellow buttons such as "organ", 4 synths indpendants (organ, piano, synth rhythm box) in one. What are the advantages over the keyboard.

Weight, price and size are ral problem does not take the lgre. You can not dplacer this monster only over long distances. Therefore a car into rptitions, and a large car. On the contrary, the keyboard is smaller and more lightweight.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple: if you know how a tone wheel organ, no need to open the manual! All parameters are accessible IMMEDIATE important on the dashboard. Only a few rglages purposes (leslie speed, volume of the "click", volume of "leakage") must go through the menu.

For use, and Roland keyboards are identical, with thanks to Roland preferences for real drawbars.

SOUNDS

The organ sounds are amazing. Clavia those are good too, but most of Roland is the modlisation amp. If you rock, it is indispensable: the saturations are hot, there may be sound trs aggressive ...

I find the piano trs good, Rhodes as well. In fact, I find them much better than a keyboard. But it is true that, oddly, they go wrong when playing with a group on an amp. Try to play on and on qualiseur SETTING THE modlisation the micro cosm out a clear and not too pteux. Whereas in the headphone, was going well ... trs

The synth part is trsdcevante. The strings are drinking, but that's all. There is a funny lead (lead vintage). You can add expansion cards, but it is expensive and trs on this machine, I can not see the Intrets given the impossibility to combine postage and make changes shoots.
The factory presets are not great, but it does not matter, with as many buttons, you can do all rglages almost instantly. I do not use it so never the "memory"

OVERALL OPINION

I use a lot the last two years. The part of the organ has never. The pianos are fun, excellent keyboard. I do not regret my choice.

Sometimes when you have to dplacer, I'm wondering: should I not to take the VK-8 (the equivalent to the organ)? Or even the keyboard, more lightweight?

However, I think that's what REALLY is the best. If you are jazz or electro, take plutt keyboard, more lightweight, less expensive. The VR-760, however, is more versatile, with better quality sound and a good keyboard trs.

I would do my choice, if necessary. We can, however hsiter with other organs of Roland lighter: the VK-8 or even the rack version, even buy an expander ct for synth sounds and a keyboard controlled the. However, you see that finally, in terms of price / size, has returned to the same!
