Ah, yes, *that's* the model I had -- the VR760. 1 hour ago, stoken6 said: Nord Electro (depending on your definition of "moderately-tweakable") or Stage, and Hammond SK73 are today's contenders. Yes, a far cry from the $500 I paid for that used Roland! 🤣 2 Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

The Piano Man Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think the older VR models (760 and 700) use a Matsushita (Technics) action whilst the newer 730 uses a Fatar. Does anyone remember the latter models in old Roland EP line (7e, 77 and 760) I still own an old EP760 and it has a nice semi weighted action. (And an handy tool for practices etc.) Also wondered if it was the same as those on the VR760. Certainly, they were all released around the same era.

The Nord 'spec' feels a bit different (some like it, some like because it's red, and some don't like it despite being red) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
