Thanks for posting this clip. I have an FR8X it is a fantastic instrument, but the manual is not the best for learning how to use the instrument. Your clip is clear and informative. I learned alot. Thanks - I appreciate that you made this.
Good job Rob. The FR-8X comes with a hugh learning curve and I have to compliment you on your video. This is an amazing accordion and it's hard to believe that your video just scratches the surface on the FR-8X vast abilities but yours is an important video for beginners and mastering this instrument should come with a diploma.
These accordions have been out since 2012-13. I don’t understand why the price has not been lowered since its release. They came out with the retail price of $5500-$6000, and their still asking the same price 7-8 years later, what gives.
Can you educate me on why the digital accordions so expensive (relative to the reeded versions) ? It is a beautiful instrument - albeit this one retails for around $8,000. In terms of the *electronics*, it has similar functionality of my $400 Casio Privia keyboard with 88 weighted keys. I would think the reed style accordions take more time to manufacture. ps I also design digital electronics.
I own a fr8x accordeon, but the bellows are very hard when i turn on the "dinamic Bellows Behavior" option, when i go to "14. system" i change the options but i can't get this soft feeling of a real acoustic accordion, the bellows are always hard and i can't play the accordeon properly, any suggestion? thanks a lot!!
I can play it as a manual accordion with a big posibility to enjoy the beautiful sounds it has . I have one FR8X special edition but I need to know much more of this wonderfull instrument .I would like to have a tutoríal in spanish because my english is not the best . Thanks for this video .
Hola Guillermo, has podido encontrar algún video que te ayude con la configuración de la acordeón? mi papa compró una hace aproximadamente un mes y no hemos podido dar con una configuración que le satisfaga. El fuelle lo encuentra durísimo y no hemos podido dejarla parecido a como funciona una acordeón acústica, con el fuelle suave pero que responda a la sensibilidad, cuando activamos el sistema de "dinamic bellows behavior" se endurece inmediatamente y a pesar que le intentamos bajar la dureza en "System" no hemos logrado dejarla optima. Alguna recomendación?? muchas gracias!!! un abrazo!!
We should keep in mind that a digital accordion cannot imitate the timbre that an acoustic accordion has. In favour of the digital accordeon is the wide range of instruments they have. It's actually more like an electronic organ. I prefer an acoustic accordion.
It 'Is' an accordian!?!🤪 And yes it is a toy, as is my car and my bike and my piano and my pc and my wet suit and my cornet and my.........Now, if you cannot play an accordian you won't play this. Conversly, you need to be able to play an accordian to play this because it works exactly like any acoustic accordian. I know because I have one. In that same context think about all the bands which have digital pianos when out gigging. What's the diff? Other than that there will always be scoffers. I'm so glad I bought one, it's a brill bit of kit 🕺👍🤪😀
Errol, it is, my friend, a little arrogant to say the Roland is not for accordion player. There are many different levels of player from beginners to high-skilled and there are many different types of music. The Roland is a great instrument , infinitely more versatile than a traditional accordion ... depends on the individual.

Wow does this instrument sound underwhelming.
this is not an accordion at all. its a electronic toy. its nice but not for accordion player.

It may be electronic but it's a bit of a stretch to consider something that costs $6000 a toy.
lukaso52 a £200,000 Rolls Royce is still a toy 🤪
@Nicolas Florea yes electronic toy, dont matter $$$$$$$$$ not real accordion.
@Nicolas Florea yes, not real accordion, no matter $$$$$$$$
