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.

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

I would appreciate any info.

Thanx

Gary

Comment by Nicki Cohen on July 30, 2014 at 2:40pm: 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.

Comment by Phil Venturacci on July 30, 2014 at 1:50pm: Do you have a bellows adjustment wheel. Mayber its wide open. The more open the wheel on my FR3X, the noisier the bellows.

Comment by Nicki Cohen on July 19, 2014 at 4:57pm: 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?

Comment by Phil Venturacci on April 20, 2014 at 9:58am: 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:)

Comment by Phil Venturacci on April 9, 2014 at 6:09pm: I've been playing an FR3X for about 7 months. Love it! All the accordion I need or want....

Comment by Lou Bafile on January 22, 2014 at 1:09pm: 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.

Comment by Beverly Garcia on August 16, 2013 at 8:01am: 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

Comment by Daniel Kott on August 16, 2013 at 7:35am: Thank you. I will look that up in the manual and give it a try. Thanks.

Comment by Dennis Harley on August 15, 2013 at 7:07pm: Hi Daniel, try a factory reset it make work. You will lose any programs that you may have saved.
