The VR-09 iPad Editor
The sliders, D Beam and other realtime controllers give you everything 
you  need  to  shape  your  VR-09  sounds  in  exciting  ways  onstage.  If, 
though, you’re the type of musician who likes to dig deeper into sound-
programming—and if you own an iPad—we’ve got another way to go 
that you’ll love: the VR-09 Editor app you can download for free from 
the Apple App Store.

This app has two sides to it. You can:
•  program VR-09 ORGAN sounds—graphically on the iPad screen.
•  dig down deep into the VR-09’s SYNTH sounds—with every under-
the-hood setting easily editable on the iPad screen.
Connecting to Your iPad
You can connect your VR-09 to your iPad in two ways—you can pick 
whichever one’s more convenient for you.
Go Wireless
For  the  simplest  type  of  hook-up,  you  can  utilize  Roland 
Wireless  Connect  technology  by  purchasing  a  Roland 
WNA1100-RL  Wireless  USB  Adapter  for  your  VR-09.  This 
allows the VR-09 to communicate wirelessly with your iPad.
