Roland V-STAGE 88 88 Key Keyboard Synthesizer

Always in the Moment.

V-STAGE is the ultimate player’s instrument, elevating the all-in-one gigging keyboard to another dimension of creative control. Fusing Roland’s premium sound technologies with a fluid, purpose-built workflow, it delivers the versatility and responsiveness professional musicians demand. Experience unrivaled sonic expression with four advanced sound engines, elegantly intuitive interfaces, and exceptional playability for the best performance every time. The V-STAGE 88 model is equipped with an 88-note weighted keyboard with hammer action, escapement, and Ivory Feel keys, offering superior expression for the piano-focused player.

Featuring a hammer-action keybed with aftertouch, the V-Stage 88 is perfect for players who play mainly piano and electric piano. The smaller V-Stage 76 offers semi-weighted waterfall keys (also with aftertouch), making this keyboard the right choice if your main focus is on organ and synth sounds. Apart from the keyboard size and action, the two V-Stage models are identical. The V-Stage offers four independent sections for organ, acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and synths. Each section has its own dedicated set of hands-on controls and can be assigned to the left and/or right keyboard zones at the push of a button, a concept that may have been ever so slightly inspired by a certain Swedish manufacturer.
