Cracking review from an accomplished musician - really brought it alive - WOW ! Thank you Mr Katsunori i think that's made my mind up about whether to get this or the Juno DS61 - this sounds fantastic and is very accessible for a beginner to develop with.
@mattdoran200611 жыл бұрын
Running in stereo is almost mandatory to get these modern keyboards to sound correct. Speakers, amplifiers, powered speakers/mixers all play a role in the sound. Many people look at this as an afterthought. In the studio preamps make a huge difference...I have experienced this with Neve consoles and preamps...experiment as much as you can and use your ears...

I have no idea what you're saying... but I LOVE IT!! I watched the whole video anyway! I LOVE ROLAND... and just got this keyboard (July 16, 2020...still in the box) and can't wait to unbox it later today! I LOVE JAPANESE! Some day I will visit that beautiful country and especially Roland if a factory tour is possible! Used to own a VK-1000... also an A-80, JD 800, a couple Super Have a GP-100 and an Octa Pad.. but the one I wish I still had... my first synth...a Juno 106... really miss that synth! Now I only have this and my Juno DS-88. Thanks for sharing and I love how you speak! Huge fan of Japanese language, culture and of course... Roland, Boss and many other excellent music companies! 😎🎸🎹🤘🐦

@@MusicTherapyLaz Thanks Music Therapy Laz, since i posted that comment i was browsing my local online music store and found the Roland FA 06 - B stock - and did some research on it but i also spoke to the shop and told them my dilemma - i was also looking at the Juno DS61also but kept coming back to the VR 09 until i found the FA 06 at a really good price - it arrives tomorrow ! I told them i had watched a fantastic review and i said " This guy could probably make an elastic band sound really tuneful "....and as someone once said " If only the best birds sang,the woods would be very silent " so keep an ear out for this one !

Great demo as usual! Had the chance to test-drive a VR-09 for a couple of hours, it's a fun machine with lots of useful sounds, basic but decent synthesis options and a selection of features (namely the Looper and audio/song player) that make it a good choice for studio and stage use, and not only if you're a beginner or on a tight budget I might add. Don't hate, try it out and be open-minded, music isn't about gear but creativity and fun. Less is more! :)

Sorry, but if it sounded crappy in person then that's the player and not the synth. If you think this guy makes it sound good it's because he's a skilled keyboardist. The keyboard does sound great.., it takes skill to play a keyboard right. Many keyboards today get knocked based on sound quality when in fact most often it's the lack of talent the individual has that's demoing the thing. Lack of talent/skill can make the most amazing synth sound cheap.

Yeah.., and the VR-09 costs $300 more than the Kross, and is set up exclusively for LIVE play. So it's no surprise to see Roland put those on that unit. Keep in mind the Kross is a "budget workstation" that costs only $699. For that price Korg just blasted Roland's Juno-Di (that sells for $699-which I also own).., and it's going to eat into the sales of Yammies MOX6 series that sells for $1,099, and only has 64 note poly.

Hey my friend. I've been around a long time. And you would be surprised what musicians have brought in professional studios. As lon as it got the job done.

We use what worked. And what appealed to that project. I stil do with my ditgital setup. So you do know what you're talking about.

Roland's problem is they don't advertise what they should about their products. So many scoffed at the Roland Juno-Di, saying it was junk. Many changed their minds after they saw what the software editor turned the Di into. Roland IMO is still making good products, but their marketing and advertising is quite poor. Korg IMO is killing EVERYONE. They are really on their game with their product line (especially with their latest 61 key workstation that's selling for only $699).

I agree with Juan Lessey. The KB are cheap. Looking for a keyboard to midi with my Tyros 4. Tried NV P80 a peace of junk (bostick and plastic) a insult to my Tyros 4. Some notes have spaces in-between that emphasize cheap manufacturing The P80 not for average player. It is for a highly intelligent music novice. To memorise all the sounds and styles in the dial is impossible. Memory is useless, Load a style from your stick takes for ever. The keyboard gives a impression of a $1 calculator

Overall the three big ones (Korg, Yamaha and Roland) are making "low quality" relatively inexpensive keyboards. Only by looking the Kross you can tell it's a very cheap synth, at least in terms of fabrication and materials, the same goes to Yamaha's MX line and even MOX 6. In the end none of them is taking a big step in making a really good overall quality keyboard, at least in the $600 to $1000 price range.For me all of them can be good or bad depending on the buyer's personal and unique needs.
@psychoticgiraffe11 жыл бұрын
the reason I said that is because the VR-09 is a pretty shitty roland, just like all the current rolands(aside from the jupiter 80 series, which is the only good thing roland has released in a while) Korg has been kicking roland's ass. Did you see the new 303 clone they made? Someone at Roland deserves to be fired.
