Roland FR-2 Bedienungsanleitung

r®
Kindly take note of the following
The following functions have been added or changed as a result of a system software update for both FR-2 models (FR-2 and
FR-2b).
Bass-to-Treble mode
The FR-2 also provides a mode in which it can be used like a
bassoon accordion. In this mode, the bass part is played with
the right hand. The bass and chord buttons are inactive (a
real bassoon accordion doesn't have bass/chord buttons and
can only be played with one hand).
(1) Press [SET] E + register [5] to activate Bass-to-Treble
mode.
(2) Use the Treble registers F to select the desired bass-to-
treble sound.
These sounds are not the same as the ones you can usually
select with the bass registers. (The bass registers cannot be
used in this mode.)
There are five accordion sounds and six orchestral sounds.
The numbers in the table below refer to the Treble registers
you need to press.

Each register [6]~[8] allows you to select two orchestral
sounds. Press it once to select the "a" sound, and again to
select the "b" sound. Pressing it a third time will select the
"a" sound again.
(3) Start playing the bass part with your right hand.
See also the notes below.
(4) Press [SET] + register [5] again to leave Bass-to-Treble
mode.
You can also leave this mode by pressing and holding the
[SONG÷DEMO] button J (to listen to the demo songs), by
pressing the [SONG÷DEMO] button (to select Song mode)
or by pressing [SET] + register [4] (to select Free Bass mode).

bass volume (registers [6]~[8]) is set with the "Orchestra
Bass Level" parameter.
• The FR-2 transmits and receives on MIDI channel "2" (Bass
& Free Bass channel).

Free Bass mode & sounds
The FR-2 also provides a Free Bass mode. A free-bass system
on an accordion allows performers to play melodies and their
own chords with their left hand. In this "free" mode, each
left-hand button therefore only triggers one note. The avail-
able range covers three octaves or even more.
Using the Free Bass section
(1) Press [SET] E + register [4] to activate Free Bass mode.
(2) Use the bass registers to select the desired Free Bass
sound.
Free Bass registers
1 Low
2 Low, Low + High
3 Low + High
4 Low, High
5 High
(3) Press [SET] + register [4] again to return to normal bass
and chord mode.
