roland fr-1x

Hello everyone. This is my first post here and I'm not a regular user of online forums more generally, so please forgive any faux pas as I acclimatise. I am also a total beginner to the accordion and still stuck on choosing which accordion I should get first. I am a fairly accomplished...

I do not yet own an accordion. As per a previous post my musical genre interests are: US Old Time (I play at playing the fiddle) Hokey, fun, toe-tappin' music Folk/dance music from around the world OT Gospel Tex-Mex Symphonic (a better description, I think, than "classical") I am considering...

Dear community, I am planning to get a Roland FR-1X to practice during the night with headphones. However, checking its release date, I saw that the FR-1X has been in the market since 2012 (10 years!!). For any electronic device, that's a rather long time. So much has evolved since then (USB-C...

I've noticed recently that this button often needs a bit of persuasion before it engages but now it appears to have completely given up on me. I assume that there is a rubber membrane beneath and may just need the carbon circuit board contacts cleaned. I'm pretty techie so this sort of work...

Hi--I'm new to the forum and new to accordion. I've wanted to learn the bayan for a while, and after buying two inexpensive ones online that were represented as playable but weren't, I decided to get a Roland FR-1xb, which can do a bayan keyboard layout, sound, and also alternate between...

Hey everyone, I just got a fr1x and everything felt way off between pulling and pushing in order to achieve an even volume. I was pulling about a 7 out of 10 and pushing at about 3 to achieve even volumes. This weird dynamic makes changing directions very unnatural. Fixed the bellow curve from...

I share the goal expressed by others on the forum to present the accordion as a modern instrument, not limited to oom-pah styles. Since purchasing my Roland FR-1x, I have been working on a piece by Faltermeyer to explore some areas that were previously out of my reach. In particular, the...

I have not played my fr-1x in a few years. I typically play my acoustic or fr-4x. I decided to break it out for some fun. Some of the treble keys are making a strange growling noise. I did a global reset and this did not help. Any thoughts?
