Four sound engines for maximum versatility
The V-STAGE 88 combines Roland’s cutting-edge sound engines to deliver unparalleled versatility. The Acoustic Piano engine, powered by V-Piano technology, offers rich, dynamic pianos with incredible responsiveness. It features concert grands, an upright piano, and a felt piano for delicate tones. With unlimited polyphony, these sounds maintain their clarity even in the most intricate passages.
The Electric Piano engine, enhanced with SuperNATURAL technology, provides a range of vintage and modern EP sounds, including tine, reed, digital, and clavinet types. Customisation options such as adjustable key touch, split modes, and dedicated effects like amp simulations ensure these pianos shine in any mix.
For organ enthusiasts, the Virtual Tone Wheel engine recreates authentic console organs, classic transistor organs, and pipe organs with meticulous attention to detail. Add overdrive, rotary speaker effects, and harmonic controls to shape your sound. The ZEN-Core Synthesizer engine rounds out the lineup, featuring over 400 tones with support for Roland Cloud expansions, covering everything from vintage synths to modern electronic sounds.
Seamless stage control
The V-STAGE 88 is engineered to simplify your live performances. With 512 programmable scenes, you can save and recall entire keyboard setups, including tones, effects, and routing configurations. This feature is ideal for quickly switching between different songs or sections within a performance. Scene chains allow up to 128 scenes to be organised into a setlist, enabling smooth transitions with zero sound interruptions.
The V-STAGE 88 features an 88-note hammer-action keybed with escapement and Roland’s Ivory Feel surface. The premium-quality keybed replicates the feel of a grand piano for a natural and fluid play style.
Its intuitive layout includes a colour LCD screen and clearly labelled controls, providing instant access to key functions. Tweak sounds on the fly using the dedicated engine sections or refine your overall output with the Total Effects section and master EQ/compressor. Whether you’re playing solo or in a band, the V-STAGE 88 keeps you in complete control of your sound.
Performance-ready effects and sound shaping
Enhance your sound with the V-STAGE 88’s Total Effects section, offering independent reverb, delay, and multi-effects for each sound engine. The extensive library of effects includes everything from classic Roland staples to modern creative tools, letting you tailor your sound for any genre or venue.
The master EQ and compressor ensure your output is polished and optimised for any environment, whether you’re performing in a small club or a large concert hall. Fine-tune your sound quickly and confidently to meet the demands of every performance.
Comprehensive connectivity for modern setups
The V-STAGE 88 ensures seamless integration with any stage or studio environment. Its balanced XLR and 1/4-inch main outputs provide compatibility with professional sound systems, while the additional sub outputs enable customised routing for monitors or specialised feeds. The USB-C class-compliant audio/MIDI interface connects effortlessly to computers and mobile devices, supporting recording, playback, and software instrument control. An XLR microphone input with volume control is perfect for singers or those who need to add vocals to their setup. Stereo line inputs allow external sources, such as additional keyboards or drum machines, to be mixed directly into your performance.
