I understand what people are saying. It's different for every artist. I personally am able to emotionally connect more through acoustic instruments when I'm writing my music

[@daisyduke7473]

It’s all a matter of preference/choice, comfort level and teaching/learning capabilities and sensitivity. Then mix em all together!!👍✝️💟🤗i personally wouldn’t make a pimple on a musicians backside but I’m loving the process of learning!! If I could play the accordion as well as I played the trombone I’d be over the moon type happy!!

[@patrickskelly6256]

Love your playing Steve. I'm still loving my Fr3...and now have a Fr1 too.

[@dvamateur]

Well, some people live in apartments, so they can't really sing or play any instrument that doesn't have headphone jack. So, for me, living in an apartment, Roland is the only option as far as accordions go. Think about it, electric guitar plugs in (the banjo-like unamplified electric guitar can be easily muted with shut door), wind controllers plug in, electronic drums plug in, and now finally accordion, thanks to Roland. Acoustic piano? Saxophone? Singing? Impossible in an apartment.

[@daisyduke7473]

I’m glad you brought that up Andrew!! Sooo many in apts/condos who would love to play music can finally live their musical dreams!!

[@daisyduke7473]

Lol... I live in a house and wouldn’t dare pick up my trombone!!! Lol. Sooo very grateful for my Rolands. (I can still get the trombone sound but that particular fun is gone!!😂😂!!) visualizing a herd of petrified bunnies listening to a trombone HAS BEEN in a panic!!! No thanks.

[@dvamateur]

Ikutaro Kakehashi had a different dream, which he finally was able to achieve with V-Accordion. V-Accordion is a beautifully craftet instrument in Italy, with great attention to detail, beautiful looks, and all, and the fact that it doesn't have reads only makes it more flexible to obtain sounds of many different accordion types in one instrument, and it also takes care of tunning and reed maintenance issues. I never liked accordion, but V-Accorion I may actually buy. Think about it.

[@simonlepcha6985]

This is my favourite musical instrument,

[@daisyduke7473]

Beautiful!! Love my 1 x and trying to learn the mechanics of the capabilities.

[@Mahimapati_das]

Купил roland fr-1х, из минусов для себя обнаружил: 1. Нельзя совместить звучание левой и правой клавиатуры из разных тембров, например: лев. тембра 11 + прав. тембра 34. 2. Нельзя одновременно (в режиме Dual) запустить ВСТРОЕННЫЙ звук аккордеона и ЗАГРУЖЕННЫЙ оркестровый звук, например: тембр 34 + [ORCHESTRA]-->U1, загруженный с флешки. 3. Нельзя снять звук с разъема PHONE, чтобы не выключились динамики.

[@VEDAVOX]

Very masterly played

[@baciliorochajr_schizophrenia]

With this accordion Can you connect your earphones or headphones to this accordion And play this accordion quietly?

[@pajamasflannel]

Yes, you can.

[@dvamateur]

So, as far as the sound capability, does FR-1x has less sounds than FR-3x/7x? Or they are all able to produce the same sounds, and the only difference is less buttons and less keys on FR-1x?

[@flaviovitoroficial9671]

Eu profetizo que um dia vou tocar uma dessa na minha igreja pois é o meu sonho

[@Stickywicket]

Such wild instruments.

[@grove4342]

Roland accordions are good for instrumental music. However, as a singer as well as an accordionist, I have found that reedless accordions in general do not have enough expressiveness to accompany my singing. The Roland is no exception. Hopefully this will change as the technology advances but in the meantime I have sold my Roland.

[@marcellopuebla5478]

awesome ..... l will get mine veeeery soon...Thanks ROLAND!

[@kksinghsingh]

You Are The Best Player

[@mariadroni3994]

Sehr schön gespielt!

[@ELMAGICODELACORDEONJORGEDION]

Muy bueno ,Exelente*****

[@hootey66]

As a very new FR1 x Roland user, I am enjoying it very much but programming can be very confusing. I was wondering if you tell me if there is a good Steel Guitar sound on the 1X, it seems like a lot of the guitar sounds I found had very low volume even when set at the top volume. Thanks, I enjoy your video

[@mida8261]

I hope it got better in those 6 years.

[@davidblanco779]

You have store and here and Arizona

[@stylianos-iliakis-6130]

How many songs read usb ? Roland FR-1X Piano V-Accordion ??/ if I play live Steve ?

[@andreacorrado]

The Flight of the Angels 💙

[@rasohatskiy_andriy.]

This accordion is very small,but it sounds as a professional instrument

[@daisyduke7473]

Not to mention the fact that it has a transposing feature!! My back loves my 1x!!🤗✝️💟

[@nathanmcmath]

Great! Thanks

[@AivarsKazchisKazys]

Excellent !!!

[@antonyfidelis]

Can I play it with headphone so only me can hear it?

[@scpfofficialroblox460]

Yes you can

[@daisyduke7473]

Yes!🤗that is my understanding

[@DILLMAC100]

Super cool

[@tweak812]

Can you add Samples to it.. is in additional accordion sounds?

[@1967noam]

What is the weight of this Accordion? Thanks!

[@fullcompass]

Hi. According to the specs on our product page: Weight**: 14 lbs., 6 oz. (6.5 kg) **Weight excludes straps and battery. Thanks and have a great day.

[@aniloberoi]

Is key transposition possible? A song played in key of C, can this be transposed to another key to suit backing track key? Regards

[@1mdlmusic]

I like the sounds coming from the Roland, but, not being an accordion player, I'd like to find an electronic accordion similar to the cheap Yamaha keyboards that feature built-in bass-chord-rhythm accompaniments. Does anybody know if such an instrument even exists?

[@daisyduke7473]

Why don’t u simply buy a nice keyboard??

[@daisyduke7473]

Lol!!! I had no idea my 1x had all those sounds!!

[@jeffreyhickling8134]

What price are they second hand?

[@dramaticdifferencepublicat160]

Do you have the bellows in a fixed position?

[@sonijam]

I was wondering this too.

[@kostashalandri3354]

Hello, what song is at 1:40???

[@code3xiv]

Got classical piano sound for it?

[@maxiylosduques012]

vale como un auto pero es bueno, sonidos geniales

[@paulsarodh5460]

[@nicolasparmentier1012]

tres bonne accordeon

[@iwema93]

I understand why some people would want a virtual accordion, but I feel like most of the emotion is taken out of the music with reedless accordions. In my opinion, the accordion was not supposed to be an electronic instrument.

[@bojunior4960]

Michael Iwema thesame

[@marcellopuebla5478]

so guitars, pianos, violins, not suppose to be an electronic instrument ???

[@daisyduke7473]

Lol!! You need to have the ability and musical knowledge to play any instrument. If you’re not feeling the emotional value it’s apparent that you have none!! Admittedly, I am still in that category but working on it!!👍✝️💟🤗 sorry, cranky but honest mood this A M!!

[@daisyduke7473]

Emotion isn’t something you take out!! It’s what you put in.....👍✝️💟🤗

[@Harmonikaklange]

AccordiAn?

[@Blueguitar007]

I can't imagine being to play the bass notes. I've never held an accordion tho.

[@vedonis]

You are very good player BUT no much information what this instrument can do...Thanks

[@jeffreyhickling8134]

Try ...kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3K3oX56ZrKlnMk I don't think you will be disappointed....😄

[@daisyduke7473]

Only one person can add or subtract emotion from the music and that would be YOU....the musician!! Emotion is NOT created by the instrument alone....only you can add the emotion!! The instrument follows YOUR orders!!👍✝️💟🤗 i definitely have a lot of work ahead of me to add the emotion to MY music. Sorry about being annoyed with your comment but in order for us to move forward in our music we need to face the hard facts. WE ARE THE EMOTION!!!

[@DEREK-vz7uh]

Si quieres una acordeón sólo con el sonido de acordeón compra una acordeón normal y si quieres más sonidos gara un teclado eléctrico te sale much más barato que esto

Matt Wurst findet sich anscheinend nicht so recht wohl mit dem Dings.
