manual abstract
With two 61-key manuals and Roland’s acclaimed “Virtual ToneWheel” modeling technology inside, the VK-77 gives organists a compact, lightweight version of the classic rock and jazz organs with every drop of tonal nuance—plus so much more. ¦ Powered By Virtual ToneWheel Technology By simulating 91 tone wheel voices in constant independent oscillation, the VK-77’s Virtual ToneWheel technology produces some of the most stellar organ sounds ever—bolstered by additional tonal variations including Wheel Type (Vintage 1, Vintage 2, Solid, and Clean) and Wheel Table (Mellow, Bright, and Low-Boost Mellow). ¦ Feels Like a Classic Made for performance, the VK-77 sports 21 independent harmonic bars, a new Bender/Modulation lever and convenient Registration buttons for quick changes between registration memories. An optional PK-7 20-Key Pedalboard allows for pedal bass control complete with Pedal Attack and Pedal Sustain functions. The VK-8 Combo Organ is the culmination of years of Roland research and design. This single-manual organ inherits the acclaimed Virtual ToneWheel sound generator of the flagship VK-77 while offering new enhancements like a waterfall keyboard, D-Beam controller and enhanced rotary speaker modeling. Quite simply, this is the most realistic and comfortable single-manual organ available today. Classic sound and classic looks: that’s the Roland VK-8. ¦ OPTIONS The Perfect Amp for VK-Series Organs! The KC-1000 Stereo Mixing Keyboard Amplifier uses a powerful 310-watt, seven-speaker system and DSP technology to accurately reproduce the Virtual ToneWheel sound of Roland’s VK-Series Combo Organs. A dedicated Organ input with proprietary RSS and COSM technology creates realistic tone cabinet reverberation, while a unique Ambient effect—plus split-frequency compression and 3-band EQ—makes getting the perfect tone easy.

The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, "virtually" reconstructs these objects. Roland's breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.

That’s why Roland gave the VK-8 a true waterfall-style keyboard. These smooth-edged keys practically invite playing and sliding while their ultra-fast triggering makes them great for performing glissandos from soft to heavy and quick. And just like the classic organs that used this type of keyboard, the VK-8’s 61 keys are ivory-colored for true authenticity. Organ aficionados will feel right at home with the VK-8’s panel layout as well. The familiar Vibrato/Chorus knob is located just as it was on the original. There’s even a dedicated Percussion button! In fact, the entire panel of the VK-8 is modeled after traditional combo organs, making it easy to navigate during performance or change tones using the nine harmonic bars, conveniently placed to the left of the keyboard. At the heart of the VK-8 is a sound generator with Virtual ToneWheel Technology identical to the popular VK-77. This gives the VK-8 rich, warm tones with a choice of three tone wheel types—Vintage 1, Vintage 2 and Clean—which can be further adjusted using nine harmonic bars. Best of all, each of the VK-8’s three parts (Upper, Lower and Pedal) are fully polyphonic. Authentic Playability But that’s only half the story, since everyone knows that a rotary speaker is equally important. Thankfully, the VK-8 excels in this area as well, using proprietary COSM® technology to “model” not only the unique sound of a rotary speaker, but the construction of its tube amp circuits, actual speaker cabinet characteristics and natural ambience. There’s also a killer overdrive effect for those down and dirty rock organ sounds, or when you simply want some incredibly deep tones. The VK-8’s impressive organ sounds are further complemented by a collection of high-quality instruments: everything from electric/acoustic pianos and strings to brass, choir, jazz scat voices a...
