Viva Sound II is an organizer keyboard with 61 full-size keys, a stereo speaker system, teaching system and a wide selection of sounds and rhythms with accompaniment. In addition to being powered by the included power supply, Viva Sound II can also be powered by batteries (6 x AA batteries / not included).
Sounds and rhythms
The sounds section contains 300 sounds. Here you will find 6 piano sounds as well as a wide range of organ, string, synthesizer and guitar/bass sounds, and in the rhythm section you will find a diverse range of rhythms with accompanying accompaniments in genres such as pop, rock, jazz, Latin, country, gospel and even dance and funk. The extensive range of sounds and accompaniments allows you to play all your favorite songs with a full orchestra and with a wide palette of different sounds. In addition to the many sounds and accompaniments, Viva Sound II is also equipped with a percussion panel where you can trigger different percussion sounds or even play entire drum rhythms yourself.
Motivating automatic accompaniment
Viva Sound II has 300 different sounds that reproduce a variety of instruments in a lifelike way, which you can easily switch between. In addition, Sound II has built-in accompaniment functionality so you can control an entire orchestra with your left hand, selected from the 300 built-in rhythms.
For example, if you select one of the rock rhythms, you get a classic rock band with the right instruments available for the left hand. The orchestra then follows the key or chords you play with your left hand, while with your right hand you can play the melody part with one of the 300 sounds available in the keyboard - for example an electric guitar or a Hammond organ. If you choose a different rhythm in a different musical genre, you get an orchestra playing the instruments characteristic of that style.
The accompaniment feature in Sound II can also create both an intro and a conclusion to your music, and it can do 'fill-ins' so you can vary and mark transitions from, for example, verse to chorus and back again. In other words, you can play whole pieces of music even before you have learned to play the keyboard properly, which greatly motivates you to play even more.
The teaching system
The built-in teaching system of Viva Sound II is based on 80 built-in songs (famous evergreens) that can be used as a basis for learning to play the keyboard. You select a song from the library and start the song, then the large LCD screen shows you which key/note to play on the melody. The keyboard then creates an accompaniment that waits for you while you find the next note.
Useful features
Viva Sound II comes with a built-in LCD screen and includes both transposing and tuning functions. In addition, the Viva Sound II is equipped with a built-in metronome and a split function that allows you to divide the keyboard into two equal parts, which is useful if two people are going to play the keyboard at the same time.
If you want to practice or play without disturbing others, you can connect headphones so that only you can hear the sound of the keyboard, and the built-in battery operation allows you to take the keyboard with you and play even when there is no access to the mains.
