Setting up V-Accordion r 15 Connections The FR-7b can be used without any connections to either an amplification system or the FBC-7 power supply/battery charger unit. An FR-5b without an optional battery needs to be connected to the supplied FBC-7, however.
Setting up | Switching the power on and of f 16 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Switching the power on and off The power-on procedure depends on whether you are using a battery or the FBC-7 Foot Pedal/DC Power/ Bat- tery Charger Unit. Note: Only use the battery that either came with your FR-7b or that you purchased from your Roland dealer.
Listening to the demo songs V-Accordion r 17 (6) Press the FR-7b/FR-5b’s [POWER] button (it lights) to switch it on. The icon in the display means that the FR-7b/ FR-5b is powered by the FBC-7. (7) Switch on the receiving audio device. (8) Start playing (see “First steps” on page 18).
Setting up | First steps 18 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion First steps The sections of your FR-7b/FR-5b Before showing you how to use the FR-7b/FR-5b, let’s briefly look at the various “sections” of your instrument, as that will help you understand how your V-Accordion works.
Selecting Easy or Full mode V-Accordion r 19 Selecting Easy or Full mode At first, the FR-7b/FR-5b is configured to start up in “Easy” mode. In that mode, only the main parameters can be selected. It has the advantage that you do not feel overwhelmed by the FR-7b/FR-5b’s possibilities.
Setting up | First steps 20 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion About the Main page You may have realized by now that, with the exception of the display as well as the additional buttons and knobs, the FR-7b/FR-5b looks like a conventional accordion. The display contains important clues about the settings that are cur- rently in effect.
T ouring the FR-7b/FR- 5b’ s sections V-Accordion r 21 Touring the FR-7b/FR-5b’s sections It’s time we put the FR-7b/FR-5b through its paces, because that’s what you purchased it for. We’ll work section by sec- tion. Treble section The Treble section can be played using the 92 Treble buttons.
Setting up | T ouring the FR- 7b/FR-5b ’ s sections 22 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (4) If you think the sound is too loud or too soft, you can change the setting of the [VOLUME] knob. (5) If you still can’t hear the Treble notes, set the [BALANCE] knob to the center position.
Bass section V-Accordion r 23 ■ Using the FR-7b/FR-5b’s digital effects While playing on the Treble buttons, you may have noticed that the accordion sounds were enhanced by effects (probably reverb). It may also have struck you that the effects change whenever you select a differ- ent Set.
Setting up | T ouring the FR- 7b/FR-5b ’ s sections 24 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (3) Press another register to change the sound. The display briefly confirms your setting and indi- cates which foota.
Using the orchestral sounds V-Accordion r 25 ■ Using the FR-7b/FR-5b’s digital effects While playing on the Bass keyboard, you may have noticed that the accordion sounds were enhanced by effects (probably reverb). It may also have struck you that the effects change whenever you select a differ- ent Set.
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 26 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion The 22 available orchestral sounds and associated registers are: The first nine registers allow you to select two sounds (“A” and “B”). To select a “B” sound, press the corre- sponding register again.
Orchestral sounds for the Treble section V-Accordion r 27 DUAL [13] : The orchestral sound is added to the Treble accordion, so that each note you play sounds like an accor- dion, with the selected instru- ment playing in unison.
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 28 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (7) Press the [DOWN] button once. (8) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired value. This is actually a balance parameter with a setting range of “Off”, –40~“Std”~+40.
Orchestral sounds for the Chord section V-Accordion r 29 ■ Setting the volume of the Bass Orchestra sound There may be times when the Orchestra Bass sound is too loud or too soft with respect to the Bass/Free Bass accordion sound. In that case, you can change its volume: (3) Press the [DOWN] button twice.
Setting up | Using the orchestral sounds 30 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion ■ Setting the volume of the ORCH CHORD sound There may be times when the orchestral chord sound is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail- able sections. In that case, you can change its vol- ume: (3) Press the [DOWN] button three times.
Orchestral sounds for the Free Bass section V-Accordion r 31 You can save the new value (and the remaining changes you make). See page 95. (6) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP] . ■ Switching off the ORCH FREE BS part (7) Press the three ORCH FREE BS registers again to return to the normal Free Bass mode.
Setting up | Other practical functions 32 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Other practical functions Let us now have a look at the first “purely electronic” functions of your FR-7b/FR-5b.
Pitch-related functions V-Accordion r 33 (1) While the Main page is displayed, press the [UP] button twice. (2) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the a differ- ent tuning for the Treble reeds.
Setting up | Other practical functions 34 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (1) While the Main page is displayed, press the [UP] button four times. (2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select either “Valve Level” or “Button Level”, depending on which parameter you want to set.
About the FBC- 7 V-Accordion r 35 Your FR-7b/FR-5b comes with an FBC-7 footswitch unit that doubles as power supply for your V-Accordion and also allows you to recharge a battery. If you purchased an FR-5b, you must connect it to the FBC-7 (or purchase an optional battery).
About the FBC- 7 | Charging the battery 36 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion The reason why the Treble and Bass sections do not respond to this pedal is that you can control their vol- ume via the strength with which you press and pull the bellows (like on any accordion).
Recharging the battery on the FBC- 7 V-Accordion r 37 (1) Connect the FR-7b/FR-5b to the FBC-7 using the supplied 19-pin cable. (2) Connect the FBC-7 to a suitable wall outlet. (3) Switch on the FBC-7 by pressing its [POWER¥ON] button (its red POWER ON indicator lights).
About the FBC- 7 | Charging the battery 38 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion That portion on the FBC-7 now looks as follows (note the connector): (8) Connect the battery’s cable to the charger’s socket. (9) Slide the battery into the holder on the FBC-7. (10) Connect the FBC-7 to a suitable wall outlet.
Editing sounds V-Accordion r 39 Almost all sound aspects of your FR-7b/FR-5b can be changed (“edited”) to your liking. On p. 32 we already showed you how to quickly edit the most important aspects of a sound. All changes you make are temporary. If you want to preserve them, you need to use the WRITE function.
Editing sounds | Selecting parameters 40 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (5) Press a register [1] ~ [14] to specify a parameter within the selected group. See the table on page 41. Press the [ORCHESTRA] register to select parameter “15” (only available for groups “2” and “10”).
Setting parameter values V-Accordion r 41 (6) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button once to return to the function group (“TUNING” in our example) and again to return to the Main page. Setting parameter values (1) Select the parameter you wish to edit (see above).
Editing sounds | 1. TUNING parameters 42 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 1. TUNING parameters The parameters of the TUNING group apply to the entire FR-7b/FR-5b and are not saved to a Set. You can save most of them to the FR-7b/FR-5b’s Global memory, however.
1.5 Scale Assign V-Accordion r 43 • Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob or the [UP] / [DOWN] but- tons to select the User memory that should contain your customized tuning system.
Editing sounds | 2. TREBLE EDIT parameters 44 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 2. TREBLE EDIT parameters The parameters of the TREBLE EDIT group apply to the Treble section and are saved to the selected Set. They allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion.
2.1 Reed T ype V-Accordion r 45 • To insert a space before the currently selected char- acter and push all subsequent characters one posi- tion to the right, select the character that should fol- low the space, then press and hold [UP] .
Editing sounds | 2. TREBLE EDIT parameters 46 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 2.2 Register The parameters on this page are used in combination with the settings above. Here, you decide which feet should be audible and how they should be played. It is therefore on this page that you specify whether the sounds you selected above will indeed be used.
2.7 Bellows Detune V-Accordion r 47 2.7 Bellows Detune (Off, Low, Standard, High, Default setting: Standard) This parameter further adds to the realism of the sounds emulated by your FR-7b/FR-5b. Here, you can specify how strongly the pitch of the simulated Treble reed(s) changes when you open or close the bel- lows faster than usual.
Editing sounds | 2. TREBLE EDIT parameters 48 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 2.13 Orchestra Link This function allows you to associate an orchestral sound with the Treble register you are currently editing and to specify which mode should be used. See also “Selecting the Orchestra mode” on p.
2.15 T reble MIDI TX V-Accordion r 49 to “Bass 6”. This means that “FBS-Flute” is no longer supported (because it’s a Free Bass orchestral sound that is not available in Bass mode). The FR-7b/FR-5b therefore changes “2.14 Orchestra Chord Link” to “No Link”.
Editing sounds | 3. BASS EDIT parameters 50 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 3. BASS EDIT parameters The parameters of the BASS EDIT group apply to the Bass section (bass and chord notes) and are saved to the selected Set. They allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion.
3.1 Reed T ype V-Accordion r 51 (10) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation: (11) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the Main page. Note: See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the parameters below.
Editing sounds | 3. BASS EDIT parameters 52 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Use the LEVEL parameter to specify how prominent the noise should be (“Off”, –40~“Std”~40, Default setting: Std). Note: Whenever you select “ALL” for “Reed Type” and set a differ- ent reed type, this noise setting is automatically adapted to the reed type.
4. FREE BASS EDIT parameters V-Accordion r 53 4. FREE BASS EDIT parameters The parameters of the FREE BS EDIT group apply to the Bass section when it is used in Free Bass mode (see p. 24) and are saved to the selected Set. They allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion.
Editing sounds | 4. FREE BASS EDIT parameters 54 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (10) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation: (11) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the Main page. Note: See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the parameters below.
4.6 Bellows Detune V-Accordion r 55 • If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select one of the available instrument type.
Editing sounds | 5. ORC BASS EDIT parameters 56 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 5. ORC BASS EDIT parameters The parameters of the ORC.BASS EDIT group allow you to edit the Orchestra Bass section. See page 28 for details about the Orchestra Bass section. See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the parameters.
5.2 Orc Bass Release Time V-Accordion r 57 on the button keyboard, it will be sounded one octave above the corresponding pitch – and sound natural. Here is an example: The Orchestra Bass sound therefore sometimes changes octaves.
Editing sounds | 6. ORCH. EDIT parameters 58 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 6. ORCH. EDIT parameters The parameters of the ORCH. EDIT group apply to the Treble Orchestra section. See page 25 for details about the Orchestra section. You may remember that it contains 22 sounds (because some registers provide access to an “A” and a “B” sound).
6.3 Bellows Detune V-Accordion r 59 6.3 Bellows Detune (Off, Low, Standard, High, Default setting: Standard) This parameter allows you to specify how strongly the orchestral sound’s pitch should be influ- enced by opening and closing the bellows faster than usual.
Editing sounds | 7. ORC CHD EDIT parameters 60 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 7. ORC CHD EDIT parameters The parameters of the ORC CHORD EDIT group apply to the chord button rows of the Bass section.
7.2 Reverb Send, 7.3 Chorus Send, 7.4 Delay Send V-Accordion r 61 7.2 Reverb Send, 7.3 Chorus Send, 7.4 Delay Send (0~127 for all three) Use these parameters to set the Reverb, Chorus or Delay send level (how much effect should be applied to the Orchestra Chord section).
Editing sounds | 8. ORC FBS EDIT parameters 62 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 8. ORC FBS EDIT parameters The parameters of the ORC FBS EDIT group apply to the Bass buttons while Free Bass mode is active. See page 30 for details about the Orchestra Free Bass section.
8.5 Orc FreeBs MIDI TX V-Accordion r 63 The effects themselves can be edited on separate pages (see p. 65). 8.5 Orc FreeBs MIDI TX This page contains a series of MIDI parameters for the Orches- tra section you need to set one by one. See page 89 for details about the MIDI parameters.
Editing sounds | 9. SET COMMON parameters 64 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 9. SET COMMON parameters The SET COMMON group contains parameters that apply to all sections, but only within the framework of the currently selected Set, most notably the parameters that specify the sound/character of the Reverb, Chorus and Delay effects.
9.2 Reverb Parameters V-Accordion r 65 The available options are: Note: Seeing that a delay effect usually only works for one part, we recommend using the dedicated Delay processor for echo effects. That way, the reverb effect can be used to “deepen” the sound field.
Editing sounds | 9. SET COMMON parameters 66 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Note: Seeing that a delay effect usually only works for one part, we recommend using the dedicated Delay processor for echo effects. That way, the chorus effect can be used to widen the stereo image.
9.5 Delay Macro T ype V-Accordion r 67 9.5 Delay Macro Type A delay effect creates echoes. It can also broaden a sound by adding a slightly delayed copy to the original sound (a tech- nique often used for rock-’n’- roll songs and in Karaoke bars).
Editing sounds | 10. SYSTEM parameters 68 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 9.7 Name This function allows you to name the selected Set (8 char- acters). It would be a good idea to use the name of the instru- ment you “built” using the TRE- BLE, BASS, FREE BASS, etc.
10.1 LCD Contrast V-Accordion r 69 10.1 LCD Contrast (1~7, Default setting: 5) The information in the LCD display may be difficult to view after turning on your FR-7b/FR-5b or after extended use. Your view- ing angle and the current lighting conditions can also affect the appearance of the display.
Editing sounds | 10. SYSTEM parameters 70 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion ■ Orch Bs Sust— The footswitch can be used to hold the orchestral notes of the Bass section that are transmitted via MIDI.
10.6 Free Bass Mode V-Accordion r 71 10.6 Free Bass Mode (Default setting: Minor 3rd) This parameter allows you to choose the note system used in Free Bass mode. We already men- tioned that there are a vast number of accordion varieties. The same is true of Free Bass systems.

Editing sounds | 11. UTILITY parameters 76 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion 11. UTILITY parameters The UTILITY group contains three kinds of parameters: those that keep you informed (to check the bat- tery status), several parameters that allow you to copy settings and three parameters for archiving your settings via MIDI.
11.2 Copy ALL Effects V-Accordion r 77 This message means that the bat- tery is being recharged by the FBC-7. This is not performed auto- matically. You need to connect the FR-7b/FR-5b’s “TO FBC-7” socket to the “TO FR-7/ FR-5 V-ACCORDION” socket on the FBC-7 and press the BATTERY CHARGER button (so that it lights).
Editing sounds | 11. UTILITY parameters 78 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (1) On the page shown above, press the [DATA÷ENTER] button. The display now changes to: (2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “FROM” parameter, then turn it to select the Set whose set- tings you wish to copy.
11.11 Bass Reg. on current Set V-Accordion r 79 Note: The “Vol” values you set here directly affect the volume parameters of the respective edit modes. In other words: selecting “5” here means that the corresponding reeds’ volume is set to “5”.
Editing sounds | 11. UTILITY parameters 80 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion The possibilities depend on the choice you made in step (3) above. Note: Reeds that are currently off (see “3.2 Register” on p. 51) adopt the new setting but are not switched on by this opera- tion.
11.12 FreeBass Reg. on current Set V-Accordion r 81 The possibilities depend on the choice you made in step (3) above. Note: Reeds that are currently off (see “4.2 Register” on p. 54) adopt the new setting but are not switched on by this opera- tion.
MIDI functions | MIDI functions 82 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Your FR-7b/FR-5b also transmits and receives MIDI data. In this chapter we’ll look at what MIDI is and does and which MIDI functions are available on the FR-7b/FR-5b.
Working with a sequencer and other tone generators V-Accordion r 83 The FR-7b/FR-5b’s sections use the following MIDI channels: As you see, there are separate channels for the chord and bass buttons, even though they both belong to the Bass section.
MIDI functions | Global MIDI parameters 84 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion You also need a software program that allows you to record and play back your music. Such programs are available from companies like Cakewalk. Please ask your Roland dealer for details.
Preventing sections from sending MIDI data V-Accordion r 85 (1) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the display looks as follows: (2) Press register [12] to specify the function group. The MIDI channels can be set via a parameter of the “MIDI” group, which is why you need to select that group.
MIDI functions | Global MIDI parameters 86 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion (1) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the display looks as follows: (2) Press register [12] to specify the function group. The “Ext. Seq. Playback” parameters can be set via a parameter of the “MIDI” group, which is why you need to select that group.
Sending program change messages when necessary V-Accordion r 87 The [10] register acts as “0” here. To enter “502”, for example, press registers [5] , [10] , and [2] . (5) If necessary, press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to erase the last entry you made.
MIDI functions | Global MIDI parameters 88 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Solving MIDI buffer problems (12.3 Bellows TX Resolution) This parameter allows you to specify how many data the FR-7b/FR-5b’s bellows may transmit for expression purposes (see also “Expression” on p.
MIDI parameters for the various sections/parts V-Accordion r 89 MIDI parameters for the various sections/parts The MIDI parameters discussed below belong to separate groups and are saved for the corresponding sections. This means that each Set can use different MIDI settings and thus control external MIDI devices in various ways.
MIDI functions | MIDI parameters for the various sections/parts 90 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion ■ Note (On, Off, Default setting: On) The MIDI standard translates almost all actions performed on a musical instrument into commands that can be sent to another instrument.
Parameters V-Accordion r 91 Note: When you set the “12.2 Ext. Seq. Playback” parameter to “On”, the FR-7b/FR-5b’s registers no longer transmit the sound selection clusters you have programmed here. Instead, they transmit their “Std” values.
MIDI functions | Archiving your settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump) 92 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion ■ AfterT (only for the Treble and Orchestra sections) The Master bar generates aftertouch messages. After- touch is usually used for temporary changes to a sound’s volume, timbre or pitch (this needs to be set on the receiving instrument).
Sending Bulk data (back) to the FR- 7b/FR-5b V-Accordion r 93 The display now responds with: Press [EXIT÷JUMP] if you do not want to transmit your settings after all. (11) Wait until the following message appears, then stop recording on your sequencer.
MIDI functions | Archiving your settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump) 94 r FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion Press [EXIT÷JUMP] to return to the Main page, reduce the speed at which the data are transmitted by your sequencer, and try again. If that does not help, check the data file you are transmitting.
