3. A first look at your FR-3x
Let us first take a look at how the FR-3x is organized and how it is operated.
The sections of your FR-3x
Let’s briefly look at the various “sections” of your
instrument, as that will help you understand how your
V-Accordion works.
■ Treble section (right-hand manual)
This section is normally used for playing the melody.
The FR-3x’s treble section is velocity sensitive.
■ Bass and chord section
This section is normally used to play the accompani-
ment. There are two general categories: one is called
“Stradella”, and the other “Free Bass”. The FR-3x
allows you to use either type.
The “Stradella” system, also called the “standard bass
system” uses the first 2 (or 3) button rows to play
bass notes. The remaining button rows are used to
play chords.
If you select the “Free Bass” system, all buttons are
used to play single bass notes.
The FR-3x’s bass and chord section is velocity sensi-
tive.
■ Bellows
The bellows is an important part of the accordion.
The movement of the bellows indeed lends expres-
sion and dynamics to the sound. Several techniques
are available, one of which is called “bellows shake”
(rapid opening and closing movements).
The bellows’ inertia can be set with the resistance
regulator and air button.
Bellows resistance regulator
Your FR-3x is equipped with a bellows resistance regu-
lator and air button that allows you to specify the bel-
lows’ inertia (the force needed to push and pull it).
Located next to one of the bellows clips and mounted
onto the air button (which allows you to release
remaining air from the bellows without producing
sound).
•Press the wheel and rotate it clockwise to select a
stronger inertia.
•Press the wheel and rotate it counterclockwise to
select a lighter inertia.
•Press the air button to purge the remaining air from
the bellows after closing it.
