Your Liebestraume and Aura Lea orchestrations are in my opinion the very best demonstrations on RUclips of proper playing technique of a midi accordion with an external arranger.
Hi are you have some video like this one but for the Roland FR-18 diatonic accordion? Mine just play/detect the UP1 but not the UP2. Please advise. Thank you.
can somebody inform me. I'm playing the Roland FR 1 V. Would it be possible to use older types of soundmodules of Roland connect with the Roland FR1 V ? Types like the U 220...Canvas 55 SC....or JV series.
Hello, can i control a korg pa700 keyboard with my roland fr 4x, i want to change the tempo function and start stop with my fr 4x, what midi settings i need for the Fr 4x. Do you know what settings i need for The Korg pa700 for controlling all the functions (Start/Stop, Tempo, Sound change from User and Style(i want it to change from the Roland fr4x) )
Finding the codes you are asking for would require considerable research on our part. Plus, we do not have a PA700, and without experimentation on the actual instrument we would never be sure that what we discover would actually work. You need to consult the MIDI configuration implementation document of your FR-4x (download from Roland website), as well as MIDI implementation documentation of your PA700. Knowledge of MIDI is required. For example, the functions you refer to are actually control functions, not the usual MIDI note messages sent from the keyboard. Hence, they will probably require the use of a different MIDI channel, possibly #10, #13, or #15. Defaults for control channels differ on different instruments, so you may have to match them up yourself on both your FR-4x and PA700. However unless you are an absolute expert on MIDI, we do not recommend your approach. It's far too complicated. We recommend that you control your PA700 using a foot pedal connected to your PA700. Much easier to accomplish and much more reliable. Secondly, for your best performances you should be creating multi part song orchestrations which your PA700 probably supports. By that we mean that you would save the feature selections for the various parts of each song as a collection of registrations within a single bank on your PA700 (USB flash drive), and then step through them sequentially using a foot pedal connected directly to your PA700. This is the same technique that we recommend when controlling the FR-4x solo or the BK-7m controlled by the FR-4x, as explained in the following video: ruclips.net/video/CfKDJkuKKUI/видео.html The playing technique that you are wanting to use, where you press certain buttons or pedals to invoke individual features on your arranger, is called the interactive approach, and it is an old school approach from the 1980s when the number of features on most arrangers was so limited that such an approach was practical. In today's world, arrangers like your PA700 are so complex and have so many features that it is more practical to formally orchestrate and save each performance as a collection of parts to be played sequentially. The old approach is severely limited. For example, whenever you want to layer different sounds, they require level adjustment depending on the song. Audio engineers call this adjusting the Mix. Using the default levels of different sounds on any arranger often produces a terrible mix. You cannot adjust the mix during a performance using your interactive approach. But by using a "Saved Multi Part Orchestration" approach, it is simple. As another example, suppose you want to invoke several orchestral changes at once, such as both style variation and treble tones. This would require an impractical number of button pushes on any instrument. But again, using the "Saved Multi Part Orchestration" approach, it is simple. There are many videos on our RUclips channel with Leon demonstrating the "Saved Multi Part Orchestration" approach. Your FR-4x and PA700 are modern instruments that require using modern playing techniques. You can see many people using the more modern approach on the latest keyboard arrangers on RUclips, as in the following example: ruclips.net/video/KgFA-h_TcQU/видео.html Notice how for orchestral changes he presses registration buttons in sequence, not the actual features that he wants. He is using a previously saved multi part orchestration. He could use a foot pedal if he wanted and probably would if he was controlling the Genos from an FR-4x. Notice also how to play a different song he imports the orchestration from USB flash drive. At Roxy's we recommend that you evolve your playing technique from the old school and primitive approach of interactively controlling your instruments to the more modern and competitive "Saved Multi Part Orchestration" approach. Best of luck

Tittle should have V-accordion velocity setting in it. Thanks for the solution.
Omg!! Beautiful!! I wonder if my 4x makes those sounds!!

good day. make it possible please make nice and demo configuration roland fr8x> roland fc 300> roland bk7m. Thank you very much!

Your FR-1 can be used to control any sound module that has standard MIDI input

Wow. Sounds complicated....I wish I had your knowledge!! (I’m serious)
