VA-76 –
Owner’s Manual
128 High-definition Music
Styles, plus 559 Music
Styles on the supplied Zip
disk
The VA-76 comes loaded with an impressive 128 high-definition Music Styles covering
every musical genre you need. Each Style comprises four versions (Basic, Advanced, Orig-
inal, and Variation), two Intros, two Endings, four orchestrations, and various other ele-
ments that actually add up to far more than 128 accompaniments.
64 “Disk Link” memories allow you to assign Music Styles on Zip or floppy disk (VA-76)
to the front-panel buttons for quick recall.
And if this impressive offer still isn’t enough, the supplied Zip disk provides 559 additional
Music Styles to choose from.
Of course, the VA-76 also allows you to program your own Music Styles (called
User
Styles
). They even provide a nifty function that allows you to convert carefully selected sec-
tions of a Standard MIDI File into a Style.
Virtual Band for interactive
registration
The Virtual Band button provides access to a step-by-step help function that asks you a
few questions and then configures the VA-76 according to your answers. Registering an
arranger keyboard has never been easier.
16-track sequencer
The VA-76 comes with a 16-track sequencer with a host of edit functions.
Three trigger modes
The Music Styles of your VA-76 can be triggered in one of three modes: Standard, Intelli-
gent or Piano
Style. In Standard mode, the Arranger’s chord recognition works the way
you would expect an intelligent keyboard to operate.
In
Intelligent
mode, you do not have to play complete chords in order to hear them. Press-
ing one, two, or three keys will produce even the most complex chords you can think of.
The
Piano Style
mode, finally, is provided for those with a “pianistic” background even
though it can be used for playing any sound, i.e. not just piano.
Intuitive user interface
The large touch screen keeps you posted about the status of the VA-76 and allows you to
almost all functions by touching the on-screen fields.
Lyrics display
The VA-76 displays Standard MIDI File (SMF) lyrics and can also transmit Lyrics data to
an optional LVC-1 Lyrics Converter. This should help you remember the words of every
song you wish to sing. The VA-76 also boasts a function that allows you to edit Lyrics data.
Furthermore, the VA-76 also features an Audio Input that can be used for sampling
phrases as well as for connecting a microphone. Two dedicated effects (Chorus and
Reverb) are provided for processing your vocals.
