Product Description
Roland A-90EX Expandable Controller
About This A-90
This is a very nice A-90 that has had the VE-RD1 expansion board installed which upgrades it to the EX series. Everything that we know how to test is working exactly as it should. It has a few very small scuffs and scratches here and there but overall I'd say that it's above average cosmetically. The keys all play well and there are no chipped or broken ones. All of the manuals are available for download at Rolandus.com. Please look at the pictures. I think they'll speak for themselves.
The sophisticated 88-note A-90 keyboard offers the unsurpassed Roland PA-4 piano feel with channel aftertouch and a comprehensive collection of master controller functions. By adding the VE-RD1 Piano Expansion Board, the A-90 is transformed into the A-90EX, a 64-voice digital piano/synthesizer with 128 tones, true stereo piano samples and built-in effects. Four independent MIDI Outs, 20 assignable controllers, large buttons derived from the JD-800 and patch names for virtually all Roland sound modules and SR-JV80 Series expansion boards make the A-90/A-90EX powerful yet very user friendly.
