Roland announced the new compact FR-3x V-Accordion with new bellows pressure-sensing circuitry, USB Flash Memory connector for external storage.
Roland announced the new FR-1 V-Accordion that weighs twelve pounds and can simulate up to seven different distinct accordions, access four different organ presets with rotary effect, and play along with a variety of beats by adding drum sounds to the bass and chord buttons.
