Can the Roland Fr8x be played with the accordion sound and an orchestral sound at the same time?

I have seen various clips where the master or chin couplers are pressed to swap between them but cannot recall anywhere both are played together. :?

In my FR7B there is a 'dual' selector to allow treble accordion and orchestra sounds simultaneously.
Presumably the 8x will be even more versatile!

I seem to remember seeing that you can also have a split keyboard.

there is a pdf copy of the manual - under Orchestral also talks of 3 zones on right hand with layered sounds possible

Thanks for the info dunlustin, indeed it does state that the orchestral sounds can be used in combination with traditional accordion sounds.

Im not too interested in a split keyboard though at this time.
