Getting Ready
Installing Batteries
If eight commercially available rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
(AA, HR6) are installed, you’ll be able to play the VR-09 without
connecting the AC adaptor.
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit
even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That
way, you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of
the AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
Types of batteries that can be used
If operating this unit on batteries, please use rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries.
Using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will allow approximately
5 hours of continuous operation at room temperature.
(However, the duration will be approximately 3 hours if
USB ash drive is connected. The duration of continuous
operation may dier depending on the conditions of use.)
NOTE
Do not use alkaline batteries or carbon-zinc battery
batteries.
1. While pressing the tabs of the battery compartment cover
on the VR-09’s bottom panel, remove the cover.
* When turning the unit upside down, position stacks of
magazines (or other materials) under the unit in such a way
that they will support its four corners, thus preventing damage
to the buttons, knobs, etc. Also, be sure to handle the unit with
care so as to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking
care to observe the correct polarity (+/- orientation).
IntroductionPerformingRecordingLooperSettings
Handle leaking batteries carefully
• Incorrect handling of rechargeable batteries, or a battery
charger can cause leakage, overheating, re, or explosion.
Before use, you must read and strictly observe all of the
precautions that accompany the rechargeable batteries,
or battery charger.
• When using rechargeable batteries and a charger, use
only the combination of rechargeable batteries and
charger specied by the battery manufacturer.
• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and
cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please
read and observe the following precautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for
batteries, and make sure you observe the correct
polarity.
• Avoid mixing dierent types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain
unused for an extended period of time.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects
such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
NOTE
Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and
make sure you observe the correct polarity.
3. Securely close the battery compartment cover.
When to Replace the Batteries
When the batteries run low, the display will indicate “Charge
Battery.”
Stop use, and recharge the batteries.
NOTE
• If you continue using the unit after the “Charge Battery”
indication appears, the “Battery Low!” indication will appear, and
further operation will not be possible.
• The VR-09 cannot recharge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
• You’ll need to use a battery charger designed for rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries.

Placing the VR-09 on a Stand
Be careful not to pinch your ngers when setting up the stand.
If you place the VR-09 on a stand, you must use the KS-18Z or the KS-12.
Place the instrument on the stand as follows.
* If using a pedalboard (PK-9; sold separately), please use the KS-12.

Using the Included USB Memory Protector
You can use the included USB memory protector to prevent theft of the USB ash drive connected to the VR-09.
NOTE
• You must use the included screws.
• You must use the included Allen wrench to tighten or remove
the screws. Using a tool that does not match the screw heads
will damage them.
• Be careful not to over-tighten the screws. Doing so may damage
the screw’s head, causing the wrench to rotate uselessly.
• To tighten the screws, turn the Allen wrench clockwise. To
loosen the screws, turn the Allen wrench counter-clockwise.

NOTE
* Once everything is properly connected (p. 8), be sure to follow
the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on
equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or
equipment failure.
1. Before turning on the VR-09’s power, consider these two
questions:

4. While playing the keyboard and listening to the sound,
slowly increase the volume of the VR-09 and the volume
of the connected equipment until you obtain the desired
volume.
* Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume
down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some
sound when switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.

2. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select the desired type of sound.
MEMO
• You can play the keyboard to audition the sound at which the
cursor is located.
• The organ sounds of the VR-09 simulate the way in which the
keyboard of a vintage organ responds. This is called the “quickring keyboard.”
• The organ sounds of the VR-09 are produced by a “virtual
tonewheel sound engine” that uses digital technology to
faithfully simulate the way in which a tonewheel organ
generates sound.
What’s the quick-ring keyboard?
Contacts for traditional organ keys are extremely shallow,
meaning that sounds are produced with the slightest
touch of the keys. This gives it special qualities that allow
glissando and similar performance techniques to be used
very eectively.
However, a well-known side eect of this behavior is that
when a key is released suddenly, it can rebound, causing
that note to be unintentionally triggered a second time.
On the other hand, some performers actively make use of
these characteristics to realize a surprising, rapid-re playing
technique.
The VR-09’s quick-ring function faithfully simulates these
characteristics. Because the sounds of the organ section are
triggered at high speed, rebounding may occur if you release
a key suddenly; this is not a malfunction.
* Quick-ring keyboard will not be used when you’re
playing non-organ sounds, or when you’re playing a nonorgan sound together with an organ sound.
What’s the virtual tonewheel sound generator?
Traditional tonewheel organs generate sound using 91
toothed wheels called “tonewheels.” Each tonewheel is a
toothed, gear-like wheel with a dierent number of teeth
that make it produce a specic pitch. A motor spins these
wheels past magnetic coils which generate audio signals
at the corresponding pitches. The settings of the harmonic
bars in conjunction with the keys played on the keyboard
determine which of these pitches are combined to produce
the sound of the organ.
The VR-09’s virtual tonewheel sound engine uses digital
technology to faithfully recreate the principles by which a
tonewheel organ produces its sound.

A tonewheel organ’s overtone structure
In certain regions of a tonewheel organ’s keyboard, the
overtones will not correspond to the conguration of the
harmonic bars. In order to prevent unpleasantly high or low
pitches, the high footage is “folded back down” in one octave
units for the high range, while the low footage is “folded
back up” in one-octave units for the low range. The VR-09
faithfully reproduces this characteristic of tonewheel organs.
