Hello, Thanks for the demo video - it helped me decide on this keyboard as an ebay purchase :) I've been playing around with sounds but now seem to have lost the piano sound (using the 'other tones') - even with piano button on, other tones volume up, and all draw bars and percussion off. It just sounds like an organ all the time!! ..Any suggestions about how to reinstate the piano sound?
Good afternoon. Is it possible to split the keyboard and set a different preset for each section. I have a Novation midi keyboard. Does it allow you to divide the keyboard into zones and set each zone to its own midi channel? Thank you.
Hello, I am trying to use my Vk-8 as a controller as well. I have it hooked up to a sound module. I am getting sound but no velocity differential. It’s all just one volume. I’ve checked out a bunch of midi settings on it but can’t seem to find anything that will give me velocity. Any ideas?
great. i was just about to upload a similar video. i think the other sounds are not as bad as people say. do you think uploading the onboard demo songs would be OK?
Hello Musicman, Just got a Roland VK8. What I cannot find is the way to play the other tones-section separately from the organ. What am doing wrong? Can You help me? Grtz, Peter
I was having this issue today in music go round with this organ and it ultimately turned me away from buying it. It would only play the piano sounds on the lower half. Do you have a tutorial on how to get the full keyboard to produce each sound independently? I read the manual on how to layer sounds, but when I tried it with this specific vk8, it wasn’t going my way.
Hello Musicman! What was a volume of VK-8 level in this session? Piano sound was very good, but my pianosound is not so sharp... (Owner of whole VK-series. VK-8, VK-8M and VK-88 + PK-7A :-)
I own a Rhodes, a Wurlitzer and a Hohner Pianet and while I wasn't impressed with that Rhodes sound, that Hohner sound was absolutely spot on!
Hi how are you? You play wonderful. I love the demo❤❤❤❤❤❤and this VK8 i love it and waterfall keys and sounds thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤
Its way better thsn my VK-7
I would love it if you showed me the settings for the intro song!
I didn't know it has piano also, i thought it was only organs

Hi! Onboard demo songs coming soon..
hi. i made already a video. will upload it on my channel then.
Le falta un buen Clavecin para servir en Metal Neo Clásico, el resto bárbaro
Is it possible to divide the extras timbres into just part of the keys? piano to the right for example, and the organ on the left? at the split mode
good question, there is a split option, but I don't know if it applies only to the Hammond module. I don't have Roland anymore, so I don't remember

Hi, is there a difference if you change the section from Hammond to other instruments? the hammond section has no dynamics
Does it have a split bass function? Like piano and bass
Yes it does.

You have to mute the organ sections, give the drawbars to zero positions
@@musicmanworld1724 and "percusions" all to OFF!
@@ikuisuusprojekti859 you're right!

Hi! As you can see in the movie. Master volume less than half.
I do not know if that's exactly what you meant.
@@musicmanworld1724 Ok! Somehow I did not look closely... *ashamed* :-)
Hey brother.. these sounds uses the effects? drives, reverbs, chorus, vibratus?
Hi, only with slight reverb
Quel ampli est utilisé ? 🎹👴🏻
Sorry, Malheureusement je ne me souviens pas
They still have that laughable, unusable jazz scat preset on new Roland pianos and keyboards, same late 90s sounds, a real joke!
