The VK-1000 is a digital keyboard that features a unique drawbar control mechanism often used by classic tone-wheel electric organs for sound modification. Utilizing Roland/Rhodes SA sound source used in their RD and MK series, the VK-1000 tone generator is capable of up to 160 partials resulting in 16 voices of 10 partials each.
The drawbars are used to adjust the mix level of these partials in real time. A different sound from an internal selection of waveforms can be assigned to each of the 13 drawbars. The sound sources include tone-wheel organ sounds, pipe organs, sawtooth, square, noise waveforms and more. With a 76 note keyboard, the VK-1000 is 3 channel multi-timbral for midi or split / layers (or connecting midi bass pedals), is 16 note polyphonic, and includes pitch bend and modulation controls. Up to 64 tones for each part can be stored in internal memory.
Built-in effects include Rotary speaker effects with variable speed, overdrive/distortion, reverb, 3 band EQ, and Wow. These effects can also be stored with each patch. Standard stereo outputs are supplied along with balanced XLR output.
