When a Single Manual Isnt Enough
With the Roland VK-77, discriminating rock and jazz organ players now have a stunning, full-featured dual-manual combo organ at the ready. With two 61-key manuals and Rolands 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 nuanceplus so much more.
Powered By Virtual ToneWheel Technology
By simulating 91 tone wheel voices in constant independent oscillation, the VK-77s Virtual ToneWheel technology produces some of the most stellar organ sounds everbolstered 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: thats the Roland VK-8.

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 Rolands VK-Series Combo Organs. A dedicated Organ input with proprietary RSS and COSM technology creates realistic tone cabinet reverberation, while a unique Ambient effectplus split-frequency compression and 3-band EQmakes getting the perfect tone easy.

Mixing Keyboard Amplifier
Once a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, it reaches the human ear through various mediating objects, each of which significantly affects the sound. 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.

Authentic Playability

It doesnt matter how good an organ sounds if playing it doesnt feel right. Thats 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-8s 61 keys are ivory-colored for true authenticity. Organ aficionados will feel right at home with the VK-8s panel layout as well. The familiar Vibrato/Chorus knob is located just as it was on the original. Theres 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.

Real Rotary Speaker Sounds!
But thats 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. Theres also a killer overdrive effect for those down and dirty rock organ sounds, or when you simply want some incredibly deep tones.
starting with the higher harmonic bars and moving towards the lower bars. Alternatively, Active Expression can be used to slowly fade in an instrument tone while using an organ tone creating a full, rich sound, hands-free.
