Subject:VR-09 - Axial Sounds available - Cover Band Collection

For anyone who is interested, Roland has finally added the VR-09 to their AXIAL site which is dedicated to providing sounds for it's various synths. Since the VR-09 has the Jupiter 80 style synth which is shared across various keyboards (all new Jupiters, GAIA etc.) it is capable of producing many of the same sounds.. However the VR-09 can also split or layer, organ, acoustic and electric pianos and other on-board sounds with the virtual analog Jupiter style synth.. so it's a surprisingly capable lightweight synth.

There is a new set of 32 new registrations that can be downloaded and imported into the VR-09 either one at a time or all at once, and the registration set is called the "Cover Band Collection" and it looks to contain a cross section of sounds including some organ/combo organ but mostly new synth patches for 80's tunes like Sussudio, 1999, Rockit Axel F, Tainted Love etc.. all of which could be very useable depending on the type of music you're covering.

Here is the URL for the download page for any VR-09 owners on the list.
