Music production manufacturer Roland has launched two new specialist performance keyboards.

Created with professional stage musicians in mind, the V-STAGE range aims to turn all-in-one show keyboards up a notch “fusing premium sound technologies with a speedy workflow purpose-built for serious players.”

The range is made up of two models: the V-STAGE88, an 88-note keyboard designed to mimic classic piano sounds, and the V-STAGE76 – an organ-like, semi-weighted waterfall keyboard with the ability to create crystal clear synths.

Both models feature four independent sound engines, the V-Piano-driven Acoustic Piano, the SuperNATURAL-crafted Electric Piano, Organ – which is powered by Roland’s Virtual Tone Wheel – and Synthesiser, which features a ZEN-Core engine and includes 400 onboard tones.

The keyboards also feature an “intuitive panel layout”, an LCD screen, a Master Section with EQ and tuning, and a built-in Total Effects library which holds a number of sounds from Roland’s library.

The two models were launched at trade expo NAMM25 in California last week, where the manufacturer held a Roland Studio showcase bringing together products from under its Roland, BOSS, Drum Workshop and Latin Percussion umbrellas.

The V-STAGE range is available to buy now in the US now, with the V-STAGE76 retailing for $3499.99 and the V-STAGE88 for $3,999.99.
