Overview of the VR-760
Composition of the VR-760’s
Parts
The VR-760 uses the following parts.
■ 1. Organ Part
This is the part that controls the organ sound generator. The
VR-760 features one organ part, and you can control the tone
with the harmonic bars (p. 33).
■ 2. Piano Part
This is the part that controls the piano sound generator. The
VR-760 features one piano part, for which a variety of
selections, such as acoustic piano or electric piano, can be
made (p. 43).
■ 3. Synth Part
This is the part that controls the piano sound generator. The
VR-760 features one synth part, and you can play different
sounds by switching between settings for string, brass and
other backing instrument sounds, and analog synthesizer
and other keyboard sounds (p. 46).
■ 4. Rhythm Part
This part can be used to play simple rhythm patterns. It is
controlled from the RHYTHM control section found on the
panel. It can also be used to play sound using an external
MIDI device (p. 52).
Tones and Memories
■ System Memory
Stores the settings that determine the VR-760’s operating
environment, including settings for the SYSTEM BASIC
menu in the Edit mode, as well as those for the SYSTEM
MIDI menu. These settings are automatically stored by the
VR-760 without any special procedure required. The settings
can also be saved to CompactFlash cards.
■ Registration Memories
These are memories where you can store each part’s tone and
effect setups, the front panel settings, tone combinations, and
other such data. There are eight registration memory banks,
each containing eight separate registrations, allowing you to
store a total of 64 collections of settings within the instrument
itself.
You can call up stored data instantly by pressing the
REGISTRATION buttons [1]–[8]. Previously stored settings
are overwritten when changes to the settings are saved in a
registration.
■ Temporary Area
When you select a registration in order to play a sound or
edit settings, the settings for the selected registration are
called up from the registration memory to a temporary
storage area called the “temporary area.”
When you edit the settings from a registration, it is not the
data actually stored in the registration memory that is
changed, but rather the data called up to the temporary area.
These edited settings remain in the temporary area until they
are saved.
Settings in the temporary area are will be lost when the
power is turned off or when you select another registration.
To keep the settings you have modified, you must save them
in registration (p. 54).
