The V-Arranger Difference
Far from an \\\\\\\"upgraded\\\\\\\" model, the VA-5 V-Arranger keyboards are an entirely new kind of arranger utilizing a 128-voice sound source with extensive layering and velocity switching. In all, there are 3,649 GM2/GS compatible tones, including new stereo-sampled drum kits recorded in world-class studios to capture their natural ambience.
A high-definition arranger section sports 128 new music styles--including 16 acoustic styles--which were created using live musicians. These styles take full advantage of the VA-Series ultra expressive sound engine to offer a truly \\\\\\\"live\\\\\\\" feel impossible to attain using sequencers.
With the VA-5, you can access up to 8 additional styles VA-5s Flash ROM . Styles can be varied using the onboard Style Orchestrator and Style Morphing features.
Powerful, Yet Easy to Use
The V-Arrangers are easy to navigate, thanks to a dual-mode interface with touchscreen LCD. The most common features are accessible via touchscreen commands, while more advanced functions are neatly organized within sub-menus. A new \\\\\\\"Virtual Band\\\\\\\" function automatically configures the keyboard using a helpful setup wizard.
Flexible Sequencing Options
A 2-Track Live Recorder can be used to quickly record and edit a performance or SMF file. Or, use the professional-level 16-track sequencer to record complete arrangements consisting of separate drum, bass, and keyboard parts. You can even create and change styles imported from an SMF disk via a separate 8-track User Style Composer.
Made for Performance
Up to 128 User Programs can be stored for instant retrieval of custom front panel and MIDI configurations. A One Touch programmable function stores up to four preferred Tones with each style, while five Super Sound buttons can be used to recall your favorite sounds, such as \\\\\\\"Jazz Scat.\\\\\\\"
Realtime controllers include a pitch bender/modulation lever, andtouch controller, Balance knob, and D-Beam controller. Using the D-Beam, you can send MIDI control information such as pitch bend and modulation, or play notes by moving your hand over an invisible beam of light. A powerful Bass-Reflex speaker system rounds out the impressive feature list.
