I have a Korg Kronos and PA3X-76 - and I still have an ongoing need for a really good B3/Leslie setup. Couldn't afford a Nord so bought the Roland VR09.
Wow!! What an awesome keyboard - all the YouTube demos are completely accurate - this thing sounds fantastic. And all for less than $800!!! Still can't believe it.
I personally like the keybed feel - it has a nice level of resistance similar to my PA3X-76 semi-weighted. The Roland sounds are so so good. I love the Performance-Friendly control surface too. I use it directly and also as a sound source. This thing can be set up to accommodate a second manual as well as foot pedals.
The only little thing I don't like much is the "registration" only having 4 buttons although you can save many more than 4.
There is an echo of the previous sound when changing the tone, this can be a disgrace in a live performance...
Odd - I don't experience this issue in fact in most case I get smooth sound transition (but not all I admit)
I prefer the tonewheel configuration and options in preference to my Kronos with its CX3 engine.
Hey, I know this is all personal preferences etc but hell, this thing is worth twice its price!!!
