Setting up

FR-1 V-Accordion

Listening to the demo songs

One of the most striking aspects of your V-Accordion may be

that it can play all by itself! It contains a series of demo

songs that illustrate its wide variety of sounds and applica-

tions. Here is how to listen to the demo songs:

(1) Switch on the FR-1.

See “Switching the power on and off” on p. 13.

(2) Switch off the Song function if it is active (page 18).

(3) Press and hold the [SONG÷DEMO] button J (it lights

yellow).

Playback starts automatically with the first demo song

(there are 8 demo songs in all). At the end of the first song,

the FR-1 starts playing songs 2, 3 etc. You can also directly

jump to the song you’re interested in:

(4) Use the [USER¥PROG÷DEC] and [METRONOME÷INC] but-

tons H to select the demo song you want to listen to.

(5) Use the [VOLUME] knob A to change the volume if it is

too loud or too soft.

Note: During demo song playback, the FR-1’s keyboards cannot be

used.

Note: All demo songs are copyright by Roland Europe. Public perfor-

mance or recording of these songs is prohibited.

Note: No data for the music that is played will be ouput from MIDI

OUT.

Note: You can find the complete list of Demo Songs in the Appendix

on page 37.

(6) Press [SONG÷DEMO] J again to leave demo song mode.

Touring the FR-1’s sections

Bellows resistance regulator

Your FR-1 is equipped with a bellows resistance regulator

knob that allows you to specify the bellows’ inertia (the force

needed to push and pull it). It is located next to one of the

bellows clips and mounted onto the air button (which allows

you to release remaining air from the bellows without pro-

ducing sound).

Setting it allows you to choose a lighter or stronger inertia.

Choose the setting that feels most comfortable for you.

Bass strap

The FR-1’s bass strap (used to

move the bellows in and out) is

made of fabric and fitted with a

Velcro strip that allows you to

adjust its slack:

Accordion Sets

The FR-1 is provided with 7 “Set” memories, each one includ-

ing 8 treble registers and 3 bass & chord registers. All sounds

the FR-1 produces were obtained by sampling the most pop-

ular traditional acoustic accordions. Different tuning systems

are also available. These accordion Sets allow you to switch

from an Italian jazz accordion to German folk, French

musette or a historic bandoneon sound—without changing

your technique.

Treble section

The Treble section can be played using

the 26-key “piano” keyboard or the 62

treble buttons.

The sound it produces is determined by

the register ([1]~[4]) you pressed last.

This section can be used as “accordion”

or to play an orchestral or organ sound.

(1) Connect the FR-1 to an amplifier

and switch it on.

See p. 11.

(2) Grab the FR-1, press a Treble regis-

ter and start playing on the keyboard.

Though the FR-1 is an electronic musical instrument, it

only produces sound when you move the bellows.

Note: When the FR-1 is controlled via MIDI, there is no need to move

the bellows.

(3) To select one of the SET registers (see p. 8), press the

[SET] register E (it flashes blue).

(4) Check whether the [ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN] button is dark.

If it isn’t, press it once or twice.

(5) Press one of the registers [1]~[4] F to select a Set mem-

ory. Additional Set memories can be selected by pressing

registers [1]+[2], [2]+[3] or [3]+[4] simultaneously.

The [SET] button goes dark.

Note: If you don’t press any register while the [SET] register flashes in

blue, it will go dark again after a while. If you pressed the [SET] regis-

ter by accident, press it again so that it goes dark.

Note: See also the note about Set “3+4” on page 8.

(6) Play a few notes to audition the sound.

(7) Press one of the registers [1]~[4] to select another regis-

tration. See page 8.

(8) Press the same register again to select the “b” sound.

Press it yet again to revert to the “a” sound.

Each time you press a different register, the FR-1 will auto-

matically select the “a” sound.

(9) If you think the sound is too loud or too soft, you can

change the setting of the [VOLUME] knob A.

Bellows resistance regulator. Turn to

select the bellows’ resistance.

Air button. Press to purge remaining

air after playing.
