As Editor of Worship Musician, I like telling the stories of my past with Roland’ s keyboards. I was a Roland dealer in the music store I managed in the heyday of synths and stage pianos all through the 1980’ s. Juno 60’ s, Juno 106’ s, D-50’ s and more. I sold a lot of Roland keyboards to Christian musicians as well as mainstream players.
So now that I had an opportunity to do a“ Live” Zoom product review with Roland’ s Senior Product Specialist Ed Diaz and cover in-depth their versatile V-Stage 76 Stage Piano I was“ all-in”.
KEY FEATURES
If you listen to current modern worship music, you will hear quite a lot going on in the keys department. The worship keyboard player’ s needs are a full palette of sounds to present the music well … several different piano, electric piano and organ tones plus ambient pad swells on synth with strings, horns, voice patches and more all swirling around and ambient wash of delays and reverbs.
The Roland keyboard of choice today is the V-Stage 76 Stage Piano. It is chocked full of sound engines( four of them), performance features and an intuitive interface. The V-Stage is designed to keep you in the moment, empowering you to freely explore, shape, and refine your sound – unlocking a place where performance meets possibility.
