Roland FR-7XB Red Digital Chromatic Button Accordion,made in Italy
Fast response and high sensitivity:
Thanks to Roland's newly-developed sound generator, which is optimised
for Accordion performance, the FR-7xb will satisfy the most demanding
accordion players. You will be impressed by the fast response of the
buttons, the higher sensitivity and precision, and the detection of
bellows opening/closing with new bellows pressure-sensor circuitry.
Thanks to this new technology, accordionists can feel perfectly at ease
when playing their music, especially once they have experienced the
enhanced response of this instrument.

USB host port onboard:
Easy data storage, handy customisation of V-Accordion sound-sets to
satisfy special accordion/orchestra demands from different countries,
and easy to upload software versions, thanks to the USB Flash Memory.
What's more, you can manage MP3 and Wav files and even record your
performances in Wav format on the optional USB Flash Memory. Playback
and record functions are perfect for educational use, and enhance live
performance too.
Battery-powered instrument with built-in speakers:
Though the FR-7xb is a fully digital instrument, it's also an all-in-one
instrument, i.e. you do not need to connect it to any amplifier to
produce sounds. Its onboard amplification system is powerful enough for
small venues, restaurants, pubs. Furthermore, the FR-7xb comes with a
rechargeable battery, so that you do not need to connect it to a power
outlet. It goes far beyond the control possibilities of a MIDI keyboard
with optional performance functions.
Super realistic accordion simulations:
The FR-7xb has 92 buttons with 6 Treble Modes (with velocity), 120
velocity-sensitive bass buttons (6 bass chord modes and 5 free
bass modes to suit your playing style) and can simulate up to 80
different accordion instruments each including 14 treble registers, 26
orchestral sounds, 7 bass chord registers, 7 free bass registers, 7
orchestral free bass, 7 orchestral bass registers, and 7 orchestral
chord registers. Thanks to the Bass to Treble mode the FR-7xb can be
used like a "Basoon accordion." In this mode the bass part is played
with the right hand (the bass and chord buttons are inactive). Moreover
the programmable Drum function allows you to play percussion sounds with
the Bass Chord buttons.
And organ simulations:
Thanks to the Virtual ToneWheel sound engine, the FR-7xb allows you to
play amazing organ sounds, by using Treble (upper), Chord (lower) and
Bass (pedal) sections. Harmonic Bar controls will allow you to
personalise your organ sounds to satisfy every musical genre.
Easy combination of Orchestral and traditional accordion sounds:
Traditional accordion and orchestral sounds can be easily combined and
played with full bellows articulation. Several unique Orchestra modes
(Solo, Dual, High/Low,and more) provide amazing flexibility and instant
sound switching. The 26 onboard orchestral treble, 7 orchestral bass
sounds, 7 orchestral chord sounds and 7 orchestral free bass sounds can
be easily mixed with traditional sounds.
