Hi all,

A quick question. I’m working with band in a box and have quite a few arrangements ready, however now I have to put the lead melody line in with my 3x. 

  1. Can I midi from my 3x to my computer via a midi to usb cable?  OR
  2. Do I need to use an audo interface and go from the accordion to interface to the computer with a regular patch cord?
  3. Or is there a better solution??

 

I would appreciate any info.

Thanx

Gary

Thank you, Phil. Now, here is the catch 22. To make the bellows less tight, I put the adjustment wheel all the way open, per Daniel's suggestion. The bellows are now less tight, but now sound like someone with emphysema.

Do you have a bellows adjustment wheel.  Mayber its wide open.  The more open the wheel on my FR3X, the noisier the bellows.

I still am having issues with my FR-1. The bellow sound is so noisy that it actually masks the sounds of the accordion, even when I am amplifying it. Does anyone else have this problem with their Roland?

 As with my FR3X there was definitely a learning curve.  It helped to save the Forscore manual and my Roland manual in PDF format. I then  placed then in Forscore for easy referral.  I know the the boys at IBM say "Manuals are for whimps...." but I'm not proud:)

I've been playing an FR3X for about 7 months. Love it!  All the accordion I need or want....

I have been playing my 7x with BK7m for about a year now as of Dec and just love it. I also have a FR18 Button box that I also love. Move from one instrument to another and then playing one of the many accordion tones just charms people that are listening. I have been looking at the 8x but, my thought is that by the time I get on to learning it Roland will come out with a 9x so I am holding out plus, I am not sure that I will be happy buying an accordion that did not come from Italy. Keep on playing!!!

Oh, if anyone has any Tex-mex numbers email then my way. I would like to learn that style of music.

Here are a couple of tips that I have found.

1.  When searching the list of songs, give the instrument "computer" a few seconds.  If I start scrolling too fast, for some reason it will jam up.  Then I have to turn off the FR1x which sometimes means pulling out a battery for a second.  Then it will reset itself.  This has happened consistently when I start searching for a song in the directory.  

2.  The factory reset is another good option.  Good Luck

Thank you. I will look that up in the manual and give it a try. Thanks.
