Hi Eric,
My VR760 is emblazoned VR-760 across it and the manual VR760 also. The number on the back of the manual is '03-01-A-21N. Which I'd guess is Jan '03. I'm in UK, could the difference simply be because of different country marketing? Interested to see if you find any internal/programming difference.

Subject: [CWSG] Roland VR760 is now called the V-Combo

I had a moment of weakness and did an impulse "trial" purchase of the Roland
VR-760 today. I plan to test it out over 3-4 gigs and some rehearsals in
the next 2 weeks to see if it lives up to my expectations.

An interesting side note...the keyboard I bought has a new name, but is the
same keyboard. Instead of having VR-760 emblazoned across it, like I've
seen in brochures and magazines, this one has "V-Combo" on the top and
audience-facing panel. I wonder if there are any other differences than
just the graphics. Definitely no hardware changes, but it would be
interesting to find out if the OS or patches had been changed.

Can any VR-760 owners let me know if their instruments are also called the
V-Combo and maybe we can identify what, if any, differences there may be.
The manual is labeled V-Combo and has a date of June 2003 on the back.

If I do decide to keep this nice-looking keyboard, I think I will probably
keep my Electro as well and maybe use both of them...not entirely sure yet,
but I would like to use the V-Combo to replace my RD-600...it is possible
that I may be able to do a lot of gigs with just one keyboard (if the
V-Combo works out for me). I'll keep you posted.

Regards,
Eric Lawson

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.
