You guys i have some songs where i have to play really "forte" and i'm afraid not to mess up the va76's keys. I mean .. not to mess the springs - do you think that could happen ?

Increase the sensitivity of the keys, so you don't have to hit them so hard.

how ?

go to global settings,select the velo sense that you like(in rolands high,med and low),then choose a velo value(1-127) you can also do this per patch.

claudio....can you post some MP3 demos of these FORTE songs you mention....it would help us to help you better with suggestions.

Dnj - I don't know how to post songs and i don't have a floppy to record the songs - and i don't know hot to transfer from va76 to pc..

Jamman do you mean global parameters ?

claudio.....when you ever get a floppy disc record the SMF song in your VA7 KB sequencer...save it to the floppy.....then email it to me I'll post it ok? Read the manual on recording to Seq it should be in there.

I don't have a floppy drive on my pc

Hi Claudiu,
if you're definately keeping your VA76, it may be worth your while either in investing in an external usb floppy or zip drive. It's really handy to be able to sort out & backup midifiles, etc in a computer.

I had both floppy & zip drives when I had my VA7 & my 9000pro ( I had pro. connected to a zip drive also). I always kept copies of all my styles etc saved in the computer as a secondry back up.

where can i find the external usb things rikky? and here's a question for you - how can i connect a minidisc player to my va76? my friend recorded some songs on it from the va76 for me and the va 76 doesn't have a usb thing - the only cable i have for my minidisc player is the usb - how can i solve my prob. ? best wishes..claudiu

Hi Claudiu,
I'm in Australia, here I'd go to somewhere that sells computers. I've got the same problem with my dell laptop, it has no floppy drive, but I've got another couple of computers that do, so I haven't bothered with a usb drive floppy drive..

I'm not too good on computer stuff, so it would be worthwhile finding out what's compatible with yours ie usb1 or usb2.

Not suggesting you buy from this company, I'm only showing you what I'm talking about.
You certainly don't need both. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=287 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=usb+zip+drives
I've always found a floppy drive handy , just in case I want to download styles or midifiles from the internet to be able to download them on to a floppy disk and use it in my keyboard, or if I want to send a file, you need some way of getting it from your VA76 to your computer.
Possibly a floppy drive may be of more use than a zip drive.

Sorry but I'm not up on mini disk players. Can you download the songs to your computer. I gather they'd be an audio file??

best wishes
Rikki

this is a common misconception, it is not how "hard" you press keys, but how fast they travel between trigger points. Velocity is not the same thing as force and there is no longer any mechanical linkage needing force to produce a volume proportionate response.

Don't worry about the keys on a VA76...they are as strong as any semi weighted keyboard on the market..

thanks you guys.

what about the minidisc player ?
