FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion

Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.

While familiarizing yourself with and using the follow-
ing parameters, try to think of yourself as an accordion 
manufacturer. The first parameters in this group indeed 
rely on the power of Roland’s “virtual” technology 
(called “PBM” or “Physical Behavior Modeling”) and are 
in fact a warehouse with all kinds of accordion compo-
nents from which you can choose to build your per-
sonal accordion or to customize an existing “model”.

Though experimenting with the available options may 
teach you a lot about usable sound combinations, 
always start out by asking yourself questions like: “Does 
it sound OK?”, “Does it make sense for a Cajun accor-
dion to use a Bandoneon valve noise?”, etc. 

Another piece of advice is the following: after spending 
two hours programming a new register, save it, take a 
break, then listen to it again (or even wait until the next 
day). Also try it in combination with the other registers/
sections and even instruments (if you play in a band).

All changes you make here apply to the last Treble reg-
ister you selected. So be sure to press the register ([1]~
[14]) whose settings you wish to change before select-
ing and editing any of the TREBLE EDIT parameters. You 
can, however, decide to save your settings to a different 
register (see below) if you realize that you’ve been edit-
ing the wrong one.

Whenever you press [EXIT÷JUMP] after editing a Menu 
parameter, the FR-7/FR-5 asks you whether you want 
to save your changes:

“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your 
changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t, turn 
the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then press the 
[DATA÷ENTER] knob.)

Note: You can save your changes later using the WRITE function 
(see p. 77). But be sure to do so before selecting another Treble 
register or Set – and before switching the FR-7/FR-5 off.

To save your changes:

(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now 

responds with:

(2) If necessary, change the name of the Treble regis-

ter you have just edited (you may want to enter 
the name of the “Reed Type” you selected).

• Select the character position (indicated by a dark 

square) by pressing [UP] (previous character), [DOWN] 
(next character) or the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (next 
character).

• Turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the desired 

character.

• Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to erase the 

currently selected character (it will become a space).
Example: To replace the “s” in “Celeste” with a space 
(“Cele te”), position the cursor on the “s” and simulta-
neously press [UP]/[DOWN].

• 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]. Example: To 
insert a space before the “s” in “Celeste” (creating the 
name “Cele ste”), position the cursor on the “s” and 
hold down [UP] for a while.

Note: If the name already contains 8 characters (“Bandoneo”), 
the last character is erased (example: “Band one”).

• To delete the character indicated by the cursor and 

move subsequent characters one position to the left, 
select it (example: “Celeste”) and press and hold 
[DOWN] (“Celete”).

(3) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to jump to the fol-

lowing page:

(4) If necessary, select another Set and another regis-

ter than the ones you are currently using.
Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “SET” or 
“REGISTER”, then turn it to select the number (1~40 
for SET, 1~14 for REGISTER).
