Please tell me how to select the "screaming" sound on the roland va-76 - i'm presing on the 4 maps available over and over and nothing changes - everything sounds the same even if i press map1 - map2 - map3 - and map 4 - nothing changes..do i have to press anything else after i press the tone map ? how do i select the screaming or laughing or car engine sounds ?? it's not on the "group" buttons ( 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) it's not there...where are they ?! I am really hurt. Please help me...I might return my va-76 = I even read the book - on the " selecting different tone maps" at page 41 - and I DON'T GET IT - I CAN'T FIND THE SOUNDS. If i won't find the sounds in like ..42 hours i'll return it....thanks...best wishes ! I am starting to hate this thing.

after i press the different maps - ( 1,2,3,4) just the sound changes - for example - if i'm using the normal piano - i press map 3 - it just sounds a little bit different - if i press map 2, sounds little bit different, if i press map 1, sounds a lil` bit different - BUT WHERE ARE THE LAUGHING - SCREAMING - DOG - BIRD - GUN -EURO HIT - IMPACT HIT -JUNO STRINGS - VOICE FEM/MASC - WATER BELL - ERUPTION - EXPLOSION and all that ???????????????????????????? ASSISTANCE PLEASE - i'm desperate - i'm gonna pay you and i'm gonna pray for you if you're answering me.

Hi Claudio,
I can't tell you how to do it, but you won't access it by tone map.
Do you know how to change the sounds ie
a11 is piano1
a12 is piano2
a37 is guitar
etc
then you get on to the b's
b11 is soprano sax
b87 is applause
there is a way to step thru all the different variations on b87 which will give you laughing , screaming etc unfortunately without a manual , I can't remember how to do it.

I think you may be wrong, the group buttons may have something to do with it.
best wishes
Rikki

how can i go to B87 ???

they told me that is has to do with the tone map - i really need help

It's only been 8 days and you set a new posting record..you beat Sherif..

LOL Fran - you'd better help me with this or i'll break my monitor Lol - kidding - I'm good that's all - I know how to set records - Maybe I'll sell my va76 - too much headache - too complicate. I don't know what to do.

In the top-left side of the Tone Select window there are two icons: "A" and "B".
Pressing "B" the second half of VA-76 tone world will open to you.
Then push the "8" icon on the top-right side of the screen and you will get a list of 8 sound effects.
If you want to get more, press "Variation" in the low-mid part of the screen after choosing one of the 8 SFX.
You can find the "screaming" as 2nd variation of "Applause".
I hope that you can finally find your way and understand how to select tones on VA-76; it is not complicated...

The one sound i missed on my va5 when i bought my tyros was an sfx sound called "small club" which the g1000 had as well. Its the most realistic audience applause sound i have ever heard. When you hold the key down the audience scream the word "YAY" and then they start whistling. Its there in your va76. Yes you are right when you say when you play the same instrument in map 1 and map 2 or map 2 and map 3 there is hardly a difference. Infact in alot of the sounds it sounds exactly the same in map 2 and map 3 . Roland lied to the public. The va series does NOT have 3500 different sounding sounds. The va5 touch screen to this day still gives me nightmares. go get a tyros2 its got better sounds better styles and easier to use ...but i would miss that small club sound i mentioned...but unfortunately its hard to play songs using only the small club sound
