Overview of the V-STAGE
- This instrument features five independent sound generator parts as well as a TOTAL EFFECTS, MASTER and general purpose controller section. The sounds covered by this instrument include organ, acoustic piano, electric piano, synthesizer and effects.
- Each part is intuitively arranged as a separate section on the panel, so you can easily access the part you want to play.
