Roland FR-1 – Quick Start

ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH

Bass section

The buttons in this section allow you to play

both bass notes and chords. The “real” bass

notes are assigned to the two highlighted

rows. The remaining buttons are used to

play chords.

The overall sound the Bass section produces

is determined by the register you activated

last. This section can be used as “accordion”,

to play orchestral sounds, or both.

(1) Connect the FR-1 and switch it on.

See page 11.

(2) Grab the FR-1, press a register and start

playing on the Bass (button) keyboard.

When you only use the accordion sounds

(i.e. while the [ORCH¥BASS] B and

[ORCH¥CHORD] D buttons are dark), the

bass and chord buttons use the same

accordion section.

(3) If you think the sound is too loud or

too soft, you can change the setting of

the [VOLUME] knob A.

Using the orchestral sounds

Your FR-1 contains PCM sounds (samples) of various instruments that are not related to

accordion sounds. Those sounds allow you to expand your musical endeavours.

In addition, there is an Organ function for

the Treble keyboard, which can be used

instead of the orchestral (or accordion) sec-

tion.

Orchestral sounds for the Treble

section

Note: Only one orchestral sound can be selected

at any one time.

(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN] G

button once or twice until it lights

red.

(2) Press one of the registers [1]~[4] once or

twice (it lights red).

(3) Play a few notes on the Treble key-

board.

■Switching off the Orchestra part

To return to a state where the Treble

accordion section sounds:

(4) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button twice (it

goes dark).

Organ sounds for the Treble section

Note: Only one organ sound can be selected at

any one time.

(1) Press the [ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN] but-

ton once or twice until it flashes.

(2) Press one of the registers [1]~[4] (it

lights red).

See page 9 for the available sounds.

(3) Play a few notes on the Treble keyboard

to audition the organ sound.
