The World's First Complete Digital Accordion evolved to Version 2
Roland is pleased to introduce another milestone in digital musical instrument history —the V-Accordion. Models FR-5 and FR-7 are the first instruments of their type to successfully integrate powerful digital technology such as new Physical Behavior Modeling (PBM) into a traditional accordion design, offering performance features and authentic sounds that appeal to a wide range of musical styles.
PBM (Physical Behavior Modeling) enables true sound reproduction and dynamic expression.
Realistic tone and expressive simulations of a wide range of traditional accordions.
22 onboard Orchestral sounds and 7 Orchestral Bass sounds that can be mixed together with traditional accordion sounds.
Control of the Orchestral sounds via the Orchestral Chord and the Orchestral Free Bass sections.
Portable, lightweight and expandable via MIDI.
Expand creative possibilities and explore new performance options not achievable using traditional instruments.
The FR-5 is lighter weight, without speakers and power amp, and more affordable, offering an optional battery pack.
The FR-5 Version 1 users can upgrade their FR-5 into Version 2. Please, contact your nearest Roland Service Center.
