FR-3sb/FR-3b
FR-3sb/-3b
The FR-7b and FR-5b feature a velocity-sensitive 92-button keyboard,
a Master Bar with aftertouch functions, and 120 velocity-sensitive bass
buttons.
You can easily change the note assignments to the buttons (6 treble
modes, 6 bass & chord modes, and 5 free bass modes) to suit your
playing style. You can even unscrew the black and white treble buttons
and install them in the right places so that the button layout corresponds
to the notes being played. You can also change the position of the bass
reference caps.
Sounds
The FR-7b/FR-5b features a 128-voice polyphonic sound engine, 428
tones in 40 Accordion sets (each including 14 treble registers, 7 bass
& chord registers, 7 free bass registers, 7 orchestral bass registers,
7 orchestral chord registers, 7 orchestral free bass registers and 22
orchestral sounds).
Accordion Simulations
The FR-7b and FR-5b are capable of simulating up to 40 different
accordions (or to create as many virtual instruments), based on samples
of popular traditional acoustic accordions, each with its own idiosyncratic
tuning. This allows you to switch from an Italian Jazz accordion to German
Folk, French Musette, or a historic Bandoneon sound - without physical
modifi cations to the instrument itself. On top of that, each sound can be
played using your familiar accordion technique.
Orchestral Sounds
The FR-7b/FR-5b incorporates 22 of Roland’s acclaimed orchestral
sounds for the treble keyboard, while each bass section (bass, chord,
free bass) can trigger its own orchestral sounds.
Unique All-in-One
The FR-7b contains a digital amplifi cation system and a rechargeable
Ni-MH battery pack, and is thus a self-contained instrument. The battery
pack powers the amplifi er with a pair of neodymium woofers and tweeters
for a consistent, full-range, low-end to high-end output.
While the FR-5b comes without speakers or amplifi cation system, you
can nevertheless install an optional rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack
and connect a third-party wireless system for complete mobility on stage.
Both the FR-7b and the FR-5b are supplied with a multi- footswitch/
battery recharger unit (FBC-7)for even more convenient control option.
With the FR-3sb and FR-3b, Roland launches the fi rst compact accordions
equipped with a 92-button treble keyboard. The FR-3sb and FR-3b offer
the same fl exibility and portability as the FR-3s/FR-3 models, and the
amazing expressiveness of all the Roland button-type V-Accordions.

A 92-button Accordion
The FR-3sb/FR-3b features a 92-button keyboard with 6 treble button
modes, and 120 bass buttons with 6 bass & chord and 5 free bass
modes. You can easily change the note assignments to the button keys
and select the preset that best suits your playing style. You can even
unscrew the black and white treble buttons and install them in the right
places so that the button layout corresponds to the notes being played.
You can also change the position of bass reference caps.
Educational Features
The FR-3sb and FR-3b are the smallest accordions in the world to
provide a free bass mode - perfect for students. They also contain a
metronome that helps you to develop your sense of rhythm and timing.
Thanks to the instrument’s MIDI functionality, students can even record
their performances on their computer. Practising has never been easier
or more effi cient!
Accordion Simulations And Orchestral Sounds
The FR-3sb/FR-3b boasts a 64-voice polyphonic sound engine that can
simulate up to 10 different accordions, each with 12 treble registers,
7 bass & chord registers, and 7 free bass registers. Moreover, this V
Accordion includes 10 different orchestral sounds (e.g. trombone,
trumpet, sax, clarinet, fl ute, violin) that can be used together with the
traditional accordion sounds.
