Hi all, I'm new here and also just got my first Roland FR-4x. I'm really confused about why it sounds so different from my acoustic (An International centro-matic, standard Stradella). The FR-4x is in B&C mode set to 3B.B7, which is what the dealer instructed me to use. I'm finding that the 7 bass reed registers all sound completely different from those on my acoustic. Also, the chord triads for the bass button rows seem to be completely different - instead of 1) 3rd, 2) root, 3) major, 4) minor, 5) dom, 6) dim, the Roland manual shows row 4) as M and 5) as m, but neither of them sound like normal minor triads. When I play a minor triad on the right hand keys I simply can't find a button combo on the left that sounds the same. The manual says the bass can be extended to three rows, is that what I need to do? And what would the tone/interval configuration of those three rows be?
Does anyone know of some good configuration tutorials or videos on the FR-4x? I'm currently having terrible buyer's remorse
Thanks!
