Roland FR-8X BK SH

Roland FR-8X BK Digital Accordion Second Hand

True acoustic response with Dynamic Bellows Behavior technology!

Bevarior's recently developed Dynamics Bellows technology for the FR-8x represents a real advance for digital accordionists. In an acoustic accordion, the sounds are produced by the reeds, which vibrate with the air flow generated by the movement of the bellows; the resistance of the bellows varies constantly depending on how much reed is selected and how many notes are played. In the FR-8x, the Dynamic Bellows Behavior technology automatically adjusts the air transfer in the bellows in real time based on the selected register and the number of notes played, this is exactly the replication of the familiar and comfortable bellows with the feel of an acoustic accordion. The Dynamic Bellows Behavior technology is easy to disable for accordionists who prefer the feel of the previous V-Accordion.

Redesigned interface with color screen and intuitive panel!

The FR-8x comes with a completely redesigned user interface that is much more powerful and easier to use than ever before. A large color screen facilitates the display and editing of different parameters, while the restructured panel layout ensures fast, intuitive operation through dedicated buttons and potentiometers. Three new, programmable chin switches allow you to control a variety of functions, such as changing registers, selecting user programs, and more: all without lifting your hands from the keys. In addition, the 1400 user memories allow storage of personalized settings.

All-in-one operation and built-in battery charging!

The FR-8x is a fully self-contained instrument with a rechargeable battery and built-in stereo amplification system. Charging the battery is done simply by connecting the AC adapter to the FR-8x, so you can play without interruption during the charging process. In addition, all device connections are now located right on the instrument, including MIDI, USB, and audio outputs for connecting to an external amplifier or recording system.

Extensive collection of Word-Class sounds!

In addition to the full selection of authentic accordion sounds from around the world, the FR-8x is equipped with over 180 orchestral and percussion sounds, offering the power to expand your music into uncharted territory. Traditional instruments such as bowed and brass instruments are included, plus electric and acoustic guitars, choirs, church organs, harps, ethno sounds, synthesizers and a wide range of drum kits. With the Virtual Tone Wheel sound engine you can access amazing organ sounds using the Treble (upper), Chord (lower), Bass (pedal) sections and you can customize with the control potentiometers for any style of music. Four internal memory areas (each 8 MB) allow you to load new sounds from the Roland sound library.

Zones, Layers and Drums!

With the FR-8x layering and zone configuration options are possible in the right hand modes. The whole, zone, low and high modes offer the possibility to sing with four different tones at once. The left hand mode now includes the possibility of layering. The programmable drum function offers performance in a new dimension, thus allowing the playback of percussion sounds manually with the Bass and Chord buttons.

Built-in multi-effects and looper!

Explore new dimensions with the FR-8x's four independent multi-effects (MFX) engines, which provide processing for the Accordion, Orchestra 1, Orchestra 2 and Orchestra Chord sections. Each engine offers 84 different effects, thus offering a wide range of accessories from subtle to dramatic. With the built-in looper, you can instantly record and play back your performances using a selection of sounds from the FR-8x and thus have the possibility of obtaining an accompaniment for improvisation.

Audio file playback via USB, recording and more!

• The USB port allows playback of MP3/WAW audio files. Just plug the USB stick into the front panel, then select the desired song with a very simple control. With a simple push of a button, your performances can be recorded directly on the USB stick, so it is perfect for archiving, evaluation or for education. Through the USB port on the side panel, you can connect the FR-8x accordion to a computer, for data storage, customization of sound sets or software updates.
