An Overview of This Unit
Sound Sections
This unit has three sound sections—organ, piano, and synthesizer—and each section occupies a separate area of the panel.
You can also play two sounds simultaneously, or divide the keyboard into two regions and play different sounds in the left and right regions.
* The illustration shows the VR-09.
Organ section
Here you can use the harmonic bars to
shape the organ sound to your taste.

You can apply effects and a rotary speaker
simulation.
By operating the knobs and buttons you can
make the sound change in real time.
Piano section

sounds.
