Expanding the Role of
the Keyboardist
High-Powered Performance for the Entire Band
Roland’s VP-550 introduced the world to a new
category of musician — the vocal keyboardist.
Today, the VP-550’s successor has arrived,
broadening the scope of the vocal
keyboardist. With the latest
technology onboard, the VP-770
allows a single musician to create
realistic backing parts that range
from futuristic electronic vocal
textures to incredible emulations of
large-scale gospel choirs and beyond.
The new flagship of the KC amp series is packed with high-performance
features. With five channels of stereo input, 320 watts of power and
Roland’s famous DSP effects built in, the KC-880 is a portable
powerhouse for keyboards, vocals, and more.
