ROLAND VK-7 TURBO FACTS
The VK-7 is a totally new combo organ that utilizes Rolands new Virtual ToneWheel modeling technology to simulate the principles behind tonewheel sound generation used in classic organs. Here are just a few of the features that make the VK-7 a modern day equivalent of the Hammond B3: Full keyboard polyphony with 91 voices in constant, independent oscillation High speed sound generation, allowing the VK-7 to respond to the rigorous demands of classic organ playing styles 9 Harmonic bars for realtime manipulation of organ sounds Sophisticated rotary speaker and tube amp simulation based on Rolands COSM technology 39 orchestral voices built-in 11-pin Rotary Tone Cabinet connector for use with Leslie speaker cabinet Real wood finish and portable cabinet design 2 MIDI IN connectors allow for a dual manual configuration with pedals MIDI information, including harmonic bar messages, is sent and received in realtime Initializing Use the following procedure to restore the factory settings: 1) Press EDIT. 2) Press UTILITY [7]. 3) Press the RIGHT CURSOR [>] button until E7: Factory Setup is displayed. 4) Press the [+] button. 5) Press EXIT to return to the previous display.
