Roland FR-8X BK V-accordion 41 Keys with 120 Bass Buttons JAPAN



【Diverse Sounds Unique to the V-Accordion】


Equipped with accordion sounds from around the world, in addition to strings, woodwinds, brass instruments, electric guitars, ethnic instruments, synthesizers, and over 180 types of orchestral tones. The popular drum & percussion tones have been significantly enhanced with 18 varieties. Furthermore, the right-hand keyboard allows for simultaneous performance of up to four tones. You can divide the key range to play different tones or layer parts. Due to popular demand, it's now possible to assign percussion tones to the right-hand keyboard. The left hand features bass tones, chord tones, and a free bass mode, allowing for orchestral tone performance in multiple modes. Switching between sounds is easy with just one button. With the utilization of diverse tones, even solo performances can feel like ensembles, expanding the range of expression.





【Dramatic Increase in Bellows Expressiveness: Dynamic Bellows Behavior】


The most notable feature of the V-Accordion FR-8X is the groundbreaking expressiveness of its bellows, thanks to the new "Dynamic Bellows Behavior" technology. Traditional acoustic accordions produce sound by moving the bellows to send air, vibrating the reeds. The flow of air changes depending on the chosen reeds and the number of notes played at once, altering the resistance (weight) of the bellows.

The FR-8X successfully replicates these changes in bellows resistance. It achieves a realistic and natural airiness in bellowing that was previously unattainable in digital accordions. The control of the accordion's bellows, essential to its performance, has dramatically evolved, satisfying even professional accordionists. The V-Accordion's new flagship model allows for dynamic performances just as the player envisions.
