Roland V-Accordion FR-2 (Played by Dominique Paats)
This is the new Roland Fr-2!! The newest and smallest of the FR series V-Accordions are the FR-2 (model with piano type keyboard) and the FR-2B (model with button keyboard). The FR-2/2B was developed for live performers as well as hobby musicians, beginners and young people.
Main characteristics:
- Longer batterylife (approx. 5 hours)
- V-Accordion without speaker (we recommend the lightweight yet powerful CM-30 as external amplifier)
- SONG-function (8 internal songs) with Minus One (disable one part), controllable expression by means of the bellows
- PAD-function allows to play percussion sounds via the Bass Register-buttons, also in combination with the Bass and Chord buttons
- Record loops with the PAD-function
- 8 Accordion Sets
- 8 User Program Registrations
- Easy control thanks to the light emitting rubber Register-buttons for high and low tones
- Exchangeable Inlay Sheet with transparent acrylic cover. The user can choose from 6 included Inlay Sheets or can create his own design
- Sergio Scappini’s V-Accordion Tutorial book and Tutorial DVD included

Wow, my accordion …
Wow, my accordion is way more basic than this in my vids I’ve put on here! Such skill you have and thanks for sharing it!
is there batteries …
is there batteries in it? any speakers?
or do you have to plug it to the wall, and to a mixer ?…
Who ever said that …
Who ever said that you cant get different tones from the v accordion. It simulates all the characteristics of the acoustic version.
I would like to ask …
I would like to ask: Who is the third jazz style know what title?
Hello Zeppy,

Hello Zeppy,
Try it first. A V-accordion has a bellow. That changes the whole midi story; emotions are possible now.
Greetings.
“An accordion …
“An accordion player is no longer limited to his accordion sound… It’s possible to discover all of the musical instruments with this [MIDI]…”
Recorded simulations of them, you mean. There’s a difference, right? Musicians spend years learning to get subtly different tones and feelings… With MIDI, that’s all lost. It’s a kind of musical poverty—and it’s considered normal now.
(I keep thinking of Bill Murray’s “lounge singer” routine on SNL, where he gave the drum machine a solo.

I just realized …
I just realized something. Would you compare a grand piano to a state of the art electric keyboard?…U shouldnt be. fact is, both are marvelous instruments. now,,,, is it gonna be chessy comparing to the real accordion its modeling. yes. should we be comparing them, no. it a diff instrument entirely. lets hear the 4/5 sound like an orchestra. what makes ME sad, is that people would roll eyes at this technological marvel because its chessy comparing to the real thing.
I’m really in doubt …
I’m really in doubt at the moment. I need a firm upgrade from my present 82 bass accordeon. 120 bass accordeons with cassotto and converter bass are way out of my price range…but the FR7 seems to carry a hefty price. Would it be worth it to go for the FR series? I played the FR3 briefly, but I felt the basses sounded a bit metallic, but it was difficult to hear well.

ese acordion no tiene madres quiero uno asi nose pa que pero lo quiero ajajaja
Hallo Maurice,
…
Hallo Maurice,
Bedankt dat je mijn stuk ‘la Meuse’ zo mooi vind! De FR1b is momenteel de kleinste en lichtste V-Accordeon. Ook met deze versie kun je een keyboard aansturen. Ga eens langs bij je locale Roland dealer voor een demo!!
Volgende CD? Wie weet!
Hallo …
Hallo Dominique.Mooie demo. Ik speel ook accordeon, pianoklavier.Maar ik heb nu ook een knopaccordeon,waarop ik dus hard aan het studeren ben om daarop te kunnen spelen.Ik wil een FR-1B kopen.Mooie combi met m’n keyboard.Kan je met de bassen via midi de akkoorden van de begeleiding aansturen? lijkt me leuk om zo bijvoorbeeld La Meuse te spelen.Dat doe ik nu door de begeleiding eerst in te spelen. En, wanneer komt je volgende CD uit? De eerste heb ik geloof ik al grijs gedraaid…Groeten, Maurice
Your right, I just …
Your right, I just ordered mine. It’s not like we are trading in our accordions to go comepletely digital. It’s about having fun. you know, I’ve seen FR7,5,2, and 1. Can someone post an FR3sb video??
Hallo Noog09 from …
Hallo Noog09 from V.S.
The glissando is just pulling your fingers in a stable position in a direction over the keyboard.
Hello zeppy13131 …
Hello zeppy13131 from Canada,
Thanks for writing. Don’t forget that midi make’s it possible to cross the musical border. An accordionplayer is not longer limited to his accordionsound. It’s possible to discover all of the musical instruments with this midi accordion. The average accordionplayer is very happy with the midi freedom.
He’s obviously a …
He’s obviously a fantastic player, but am I the only one who thinks the MIDI stuff—you know, where you simulate all the other instruments, rhythm, etc.—is incredibly corny? Ack. I love accordion music, but the MIDI stuff makes me squirm. It makes me sad, too, because there are many people who would appreciate the beautiful sound of an accordion, but they hear this syntho-stuff instead, and they roll their eyes… Sorry, I just find it embarrassingly cheesy.
can someone give me …
can someone give me a tip on how he gets the glissando sound at about 1:28 ? It seems like a useful technique on CBAs.
I’ve got the piano …
I’ve got the piano version of the FR-3S.
I don’t use the orchestral sounds much at all, Clarinet sounds OK as does the Jazz Organ.
The violin has a “scratchy” flat sound. Trumpet is versatile, timbre of it can be well altered using the bellows.
What is missing is a good piano sound on the treble side.
The accordion sounds are fantastic, I play mostly French & Scottish & have not been disappointed at all. Cajun and Bandoneon sound fantastic too.
Mine was UKP 1350 – well worth it.
Hello
I will …
Hello
I will probably buy a V-accordion in a month. Either the FR-2 or FR-3.
I’m curious to know how does the violin sound?
Also, I’m reading through the manual off Roland’s website. Does the FR-2 have a trumpet? I’m curious to know because I might try other types of music either than traditional accordion music.
