With the ability to seamlessly mix, match, and adjust engines in real time, you'll always stay in the musical moment.
Acoustic PianoTap into four strikingly expressive instruments, including two grand pianos, an upright, and a new felt piano with a unique smooth sound. Supported by Roland's renowned V-Piano technology, every note showcases authentic acoustic detail and rich tonal depth, realized through an exquisitely modeled system of virtual string behaviors, soundboard materials, and hammer construction. Adjust the brightness, sound width, and key touch as you play. Dive deeper with Piano Designer tools to unlock temperament, sympathetic resonance, and other detailed parameters.
Electric PianoBring 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 provides 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.
OrganElectrify audiences with a dynamic three-layer console organ powered by Roland's Virtual Tone Wheel technology. Roland's acclaimed system replicates the detailed 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.
SynthesizerEnjoy 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 analogue synths.
