Adjust the brightness, sound width, and key touch as you play. And go deeper with Piano Designer tools to unlock temperament, sympathetic resonance, and other detailed parameters.
Electric Piano
Bring the sound of classic electric pianos to your performances, including beautifully rich tine EPs, punchy reed models, Roland digital icons from the 1980s, and the soulful bite of a retro clavinet. This newly developed engine offers a wide range of sound options, complete with flexible tone-shaping and articulation controls. The powerful Sound Lift knob enhances softer articulations without compression, preserving subtle details while ensuring clarity in dense band mixes. Along with the dedicated tremolo, amp simulator, and curated MFX, you can easily craft vibrant EP sounds for any genre or mood.
Organ
Electrify audiences with a dynamic three-layer console organ powered by Roland's Virtual Tone Wheel technology. Our acclaimed system replicates the nuanced behaviors of actual tone wheel mechanisms, offering adjustable key click and leakage noise for a truly authentic experience. Two ’60s transistor combo models and a pipe organ are also on hand for additional versatility. Harmonic bars and percussion controls provide instant sound shaping, complemented by overdrive, vibrato/chorus, and a rotary speaker effect with mic positioning and fast-access buttons for speed and brake control.
Synthesizer
Explore over 400 onboard ZEN-Core tones to cover solo parts and create layered textures with the other engines. Two simultaneous sounds are available with hands-on controls for shaping attack, release, filter, and more. V-STAGE also supports ZEN-Core patch and sound options on Roland Cloud, providing an ever-expanding palette of inspiration. Included with V-STAGE are free downloads of Model Expansions titles based on the JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, and other vintage Roland analog synths.

Real-time sound design.
The four V-STAGE sound engines are always available, ready to craft the perfect tones for every song. Controls are intuitively organized for each engine, prioritizing the most important settings for shaping piano tones, dialing in organ textures, or layering synth sounds. You can also turn each engine on/off with a press, set and reset split points, and quickly balance levels with dynamic LED-equipped knobs that show status at a glance.
Expand your range.
Four rear-panel jacks support numerous floor-control options, including basic hold/damper pedals plus footswitches and expression pedals for customized control of various parameters. Two dedicated USB inputs are also available to connect external MIDI controllers such as the Roland A-49 or A-PRO series.

+SCENES AND POLYPHONY
Gig-ready tools.

Eight special EX Scenes automatically save changes as you go, perfect for building setups in rehearsals and addressing last-minute additions to the night’s setlist.
Seamless transitions.
The speedy V-STAGE DSP eliminates the sound roadblocks that plague less powerful keyboards. Scene Remain provides smooth and natural transitions with delay/reverb carryover and no chopped-off notes. And with abundant polyphony, you can take on the most complex musical pieces without worry.
Master your sound.
Using the Master section on the V-STAGE panel, you can easily shape your overall sound to suit the environment you’re playing in. Balance the entire output with a three-band EQ and variable midrange control. Then add tightness and punch with two sophisticated compressor options that let you tweak multiple internal parameters with a simple one-knob control.
Pro audio connectivity.
Get connected with the house PA and stage monitors via balanced XLR and 1/4-inch stereo main outputs and two balanced sub outputs that can be customized for discrete sound feeds. And use the stereo line input to mix in an external instrument such as a drum machine or keyboard. There’s even a convenient XLR mic input for singing, complete with a dedicated panel knob for level adjustment.
Rock-solid build.
V-STAGE delivers the road-ready reliability that Roland is famous for. With a robust metal chassis and time-tested hardware, each instrument is ready to support years of demanding performances.
