V-STAGE: Roland's Vision of the All-in-One Stage Keyboard
With the V-STAGE 88, Roland targets keyboardists who need to cover everything on a single instrument: accompaniment, leads, modern textures, vintage sounds, and mix clarity. Its position in the lineup is clear: a premium stage keyboard focused on performance, emphasizing responsiveness, direct access to essential parameters, and a sound architecture capable of adapting to both contemporary and classic repertoires.Keyboard Design
The Roland V-STAGE 88 features an 88-key weighted keyboard with hammer action for natural response, ideal for working on dynamics, attacks, and releases. The presence of escapement enhances the feel during fast repetitions and controlled pianissimos, while the "Ivory Feel" coating promotes grip and precision-a real advantage under stage lights or during long performances.Sound Quality
The strength of the V-STAGE 88 lies in its 4 dedicated sound engines, each optimized for its role. The acoustic piano relies on V-Piano (advanced digital modeling) with two grand concert pianos, an upright piano, and a felt model to vary tone color without losing expressiveness. Electric pianos are based on SuperNATURAL, designed for dynamics, character, and play response of classic instruments, with settings that "fall naturally under the fingers." The organ section uses Virtual Tone Wheel (with vintage transistor models, pipe organ, and typical effects), while ZEN-Core completes the instrument with over 400 built-in sounds (strings, pads, textures, and electronic sounds), with expandability via Roland Cloud.Built-in Effects
- Multi-effects: 16 multi-effect systems to sculpt each part without cluttering the mix.
- Effect library: 93 types of multi-effects, 9 types of chorus, and 7 types of reverb.
- Output processing: Master section with compressor and equalizer to tailor the sound to the venue, PA system, or recording.
- Organ tone: overdrive and rotary speaker to recreate typical stage sensations and movements.
