Alain,
on the Roland site of Italy there are a lot of styles to download. Here is the link: http://www.roland.it/
I hope that at this point you are not going to sell your VA5 anymore, are you?

Thanks again for your reply.
I have still another question :
How can you see the version off the system software:
I saw at roland Italy that there is an update available for the va 5...version 1,01.
How do I do the update ?
Thanks ,
Alain

Hi Alain,
in most keyboards you have to press a combination of buttons during the power up to see the software version, but I don't know how to do this in the VA5.
To do the update you have to download the files, save them to a floppy disk and follow the instructions which are usually included (among the files you download there is something called readme.doc or readme.txt with all the instructions); anyway, I don't think that your VA5 really needs a software update, especially if that is just the version 1.01. I have updated my VA7 to version 2.0 but I had to take it to a laboratory because they had to replace an internal chip too.
Regards
Andrea

VA's Version 2 Software......In the UK this is not owner upgradable and as stated above has to be returned to a Roland stockist. There is no chip update, just software version 2 and they supply an exchange Zip disk with yours which contains a Music Database. The Variphase is also switchable to the left hand chords. The update is FREE. Its well worth getting it done.
