Setting up | Switching the power on and of f 18 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b 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 applications.
First steps V-Accordion r 19 First steps The sections of your FR-3 Before showing you how to use the FR-3, let’s briefly look at the various “sections” of your instrument, as that will help you understand how your V-Accordion works. The FR-3 is a “virtual” accordion.
Setting up | First steps 20 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion How to read the display With the exception of the display and the additional buttons and knobs, the FR-3 looks like a conventional accordion. The display contains important clues about the settings that are currently in effect.
T ouring the FR-3’ s sections V-Accordion r 21 Touring the FR-3’s sections It’s time we put the FR-3 through its paces, because that’s what you purchased it for.
Setting up | T ouring the FR- 3’ s sections 22 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion (6) Press one of the registers [1] ~ [0] to select another footage.
Bass section V-Accordion r 23 Chorus: This effect creates the impression that sev- eral instruments of the same type are playing at the same time (it is similar to detuning several reeds of a register). The [CHORUS] and [REVERB] knobs allow you to set the volume of these effects.
Setting up | T ouring the FR- 3 ’ s sections 24 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion The “St” message starts flashing to signal that you need to press a register. The “Roland” logo now flashes in blue. (7) Press one of the registers [1] ~ [0] to select a Set memory.
Using the orchestral sounds V-Accordion r 25 Using the orchestral sounds Your FR-3 contains PCM sounds (samples) of various instruments that are not related to accordion sounds. Those sounds allow you to expand your musical endeavours without using external MIDI devices.
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 26 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion HIGH [12] : Now it becomes a little more complicated – but very inter- esting indeed. If you select this mode and play just one note, you will hear the orchestral sound.
Orchestral sounds for the Bass section V-Accordion r 27 (4) Press and hold the [SET] register until the display looks as follows: (5) Press register [2/+] to save the settings. The display now looks as follows: If you don’t want to save your changes, press [1÷–] .
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 28 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion ■ Setting the volume of the ORCH BASS sound There may be times when the orchestral bass sound is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail- able sections.
Orchestral sounds for the Chord section V-Accordion r 29 ■ Setting the volume of the ORCH CHORD sound There may be times when the orchestral chord sound is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail- able sections.
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 30 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion Orchestral sounds for the Free Bass section The orchestral Free Bass part can replace the accordion sound played by the button keyboard while Free Bass mode is active. In that case, all bass buttons play bass notes – no chords.
Other practical functions V-Accordion r 31 5. Other practical functions After looking at the accordion and Orchestra functions, let’s have a look at the “purely electronic” functions of your FR-3.
Other practical functions | Using the metronome 32 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion ■ Setting the tempo We’ll assume that you are still in “PARAM LIST” mode (and so didn’t press [SET] to leave it). To set this parameter at a later stage, repeat steps (1) and (2) above.
Using the metronome V-Accordion r 33 Using the metronome After setting the metronome’s parameters to your lik- ing (or if you don’t need to change them), you can start using the metronome: (13) Press the [METRONOME] button to start the metro- nome (“Str”).
Other practical functions | Pitch-related functions 34 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion Pitch-related functions Transpose function The FR-3 contains a Transpose function that allows you to change the key of the music you are playing.

Editing settings | Editing settings 36 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion 6. Editing settings The FR-3 provides a whole series of specialized parameters you probably don’t need every day. They may come in handy, however, when you need to fine-tune the FR-3’s response to your playing style.
Selecting the desired function V-Accordion r 37 Selecting the desired function (1) Press and hold the [SET] register until the display shows a parameter name, then release it. (2) Use register [3÷√] or [4÷®] to select the desired parameter . (3) Use register [1÷–] or [2÷+] to set the desired value.

Orchestra Level V-Accordion r 39 Orchestra Level (–40~“Std”~40, Default setting: Std) This parameter allows you to create the desired “mix” (volume balance) between the Treble accordion and the Orchestra section. This is a relative parameter, which means that its value is added to or subtracted from the standard value (“Std”).
Editing settings | P ARAM LIST parameters 40 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion Treble Valve Noise (Off, –40~“Std”~40, Default setting: Std) You will probably agree that electronic sounds mus.

If you haven’t changed this setting yet, the color of that logo changes each time you switch on the FR-3.
MIDI parameters V-Accordion r 45 MIDI parameters Your FR-3 can also transmit or receive MIDI data. In this section, we’ll look at what MIDI is and does and which MIDI functions are available on the FR-3. IMPORTANT REMARK : The FR-3 only has one MIDI socket that can be used to either send (“OUT”) or receive (“IN”) MIDI data.
Editing settings | P ARAM LIST parameters 46 r FR-3s/FR-3/FR-3sb/FR-3b V-Accordion used. There are actually two kinds of master keyboards: those that only transmit MIDI data and contain no tone generator, and those that can also be used for playing back music (synthesizers, digital pianos, organs, etc.
