Sophisticated bellows response
The FR-3x boasts faster response and higher sensitivity and precision,
plus detection of the bellows opening and closing. In addition, the
new bellows-resistance regulator lets you adjust the bellows’ inertia
for the ultimate in comfort and playing feel.
Super realistic accordion simulations
The FR-3x is loaded with great accordion sounds. You can switch
instantly from an Italian jazz accordion, for example, to German folk,
French musette, or Russian bajan without changing your technique. In
addition, orchestral sounds are onboard the FR-3x as well as a Virtual
Tone Wheel generator, which lets you enjoy authentic organ sounds
with bellows pressure control. You can even play percussion sounds
with your left hand using the bass and chord sections.
Stand-alone electronic instrument
Though the FR-3x is a fully electronic instrument, you don’t need
to connect it to an amplier in order to produce sounds. Its internal
amplication is ideal for small venues, restaurants, and so on. To
enhance the cable-free convenience even more, you can power the
FR-3x from ten commercially available rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
(5 hours batteries life) so you don’t need to connect it to a wall outlet.
Save your settings to a USB storage device
You can save your settings by connecting an optional USB memory
to the FR-3x’s USB port. Also, the USB host allows you to customize
orchestra and accordion sounds and to save the user program data
and MP3/Wave playback tracks.
Superb performance exibility
If you venture beyond the internal sounds, the FR-3x lets you control
external MIDI-compatible instruments. The Treble keyboard and
chord/bass buttons are velocity-sensitive, while the bellows controller
provides more articulation possibilities than any other MIDI keyboard,
MIDI wind instrument, etc.
Also available in an exclusive, special edition
Lightweight, compact, and equipped with the same features as the
standard FR-3x, the white version looks gorgeous, with a beautifully
decorated bellows and genuine leather/Alcantara® straps.
