Hi Chris,
Of course there are presets - but as always you soon over-write these with your own.
The organ bit of the VR760 is great but if you are using organ for so much of your playing maybe the CX3 is better for you. Not as expensive! Leslie sim slightly better, splits upper/lower plus pedals. Looks more like an organ.
The VR760 is a good workhorse with great organ, pretty good pianos plus a synth section that has all the synth stuff I'll ever need. I've got lots of keyboards, even a couple of Hammonds but I only take one keyboard to gigs now.
Carl

On the VR760, is there organ presets, like the CX-3 ? I am on the verge
of buying my first clone and I think the CX-3 is my first choice, then a
Roland VK7 or VK8 is my next choice, but now I wonder if I should just be
getting a VR760. Played one last week in the local music store and was
impressed.
In the band I play in, 8 out of 10 songs are organ, so I thought the CX 3
was by best choice overall as I like the presets. I then use another
keybaord for pianos and everthing else. So many choices !!!!!AAAGGGHHHHH

Hi Paul,
You're spot on - get the Ultimate Keys card, you wont regret it! As to
pianos - as I play quite lightly (organ background not pianist) I have
changed the velocity response to 'light'. This together with type 2 mike
modelling has given the piano's a lot more omph, don't be afraid to use
the onboard EQ, I have the treble at 2 o'clock, the middle at 2 o'clock
with the frequency also at 2 o clock and just 1 o'clock for the bass. I
take the balanced stereo outputs into the bands PA with everything flat,
just volume. This cuts through just great for the kind of music I play
(jazz/funk/R&B).

Hi folks,
I also bought a VR-760 a couple of weeks ago. I have mixed feelings
about it. I love the organ section. It is fat and full and inspires me
to play. The pianos are a bit dark and don't cut through the band that
well . The synth section is OK but you have to get the ultimate keys
card
because the vr only has 18 sounds!! I love the look and feel of the vr
,
but it's weak midi section makes it hard to use as a midi controller. I
could go on and on , but It depends on the gig if the vr can cut or not.
