Roland FR-7b Modeling Digital AccordionOne year ago, the accordion world was turned upside down when Roland announced the revolutionary all-digital V-Accordions. The original FR-5 and FR-7 were the world’s first accordions to successfully integrate powerful Physical Behavior Modeling (PBM) technology into a traditional accordion design, and they were an instant hit around the world. Today, Roland announces four additions to the V-Accordion line:• 2 new button-type accordions (FR-5b and FR-7b) • 2 new smaller-scale keyboard accordions for students (FR-3 and FR-3s) The V-Accordions can simulate a wide variety of accordion sound sets, each including multiple treble registers, bass and chord registers, and free bass registers. To create these high-quality sounds, Roland engineers analyzed dozens of popular traditional acoustic accordions. As a result, the V-Accordion can switch instantly between an Italian Jazz to a German Folk, French Musette, or historic Bandoneon and more. The FR-3s and FR-7b include an onboard digital amplifier with rechargeable Ni-Mh battery pack to power a pair of neodymium woofers and tweeters for a consistent, full range low-end to high-end output. The right- and left-hand velocity sensitive keyboards/buttons integrate with the high-resolution bellows pressure sensor to deliver an amazing level of expressiveness, realism, and playability. The V-Accordions faithfully combine the familiar sounds and nuances of a traditional accordion with the versatility of a modern digital musical instrument. Because they don’t depend on moving parts for sound generation, the V-Accordions are always in tune, and can be transposed to play within a wide range of octaves. For sound output, plug directly into a sound system, recording device, or plug in a pair of headphones for private practice FR-7b: V-Accordion Roland’s Revolutionary V-Accordion Family Grows With New Button-type Models Features Equipped with 92-button right-handed keyboards, these new V-Accordions offer all of the original V-Accordion’s benefits, with several important additions. The Roland FR-7b/5b are the first instruments of their kind to integrate powerful digital technology into a traditional chromatic accordion design, offering performance features and sounds that appeal to a wide range of musicians. The perfect combination of the familiar sounds and nuances of a traditional accordion, combined with the advantages of a versatile digital instrument Ultra-realistic accordion simulations, with 40 programmable set memories; the factory settings already cater to several popular accordion traditions PBM (“Physical Behavior Modeling”) sound-generation technology Orchestral sounds Expanded MIDI functionality for truly flexible performance options Portable instrument with onboard digital amplification (only on the FR-7b)
