  Sophisticated bellows response

  Faster response, higher sensitivity and precision, plus detection of bellows opening/closing with new bellows pressure-sensing circuitry.
  A bellows resistance regulator knob allows you to adjust the bellows’ inertia to your preference.
  
  

  Super realistic accordion simulations

  All sounds the FR-3x produces were obtained by sampling popular traditional acoustic accordions.
  This V-Accordion allows you to switch from an Italian jazz accordion to German folk, French musette or Russian bajan sound, without changing your technique. You can also play amazing organ sounds in almost the same way as an organ player, using the treble section. You can also add a rotary effect (slow/fast).
  The FR-3x also allows you to enjoy playing simple drum parts with your left hand (bass and chord sections).
  
  

  Stand-alone electronic instrument

  Though the FR-3x is a fully electronic instrument, you do not need to connect it to an amplifier in order to produce sounds. Its onboard amplification system is for small venues, restaurants, etc.
  The FR-3x can also be powered using 10 commercially available rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, so that you don’t need to connect it to a wall socket.
  
  

  Save your settings to a USB storage device

  You can save your settings by connecting an optional USB memory to the FR-3x’s USB port. The USB host also allows you to customise orchestra and accordion sounds and to save the user program data and the MP3/Wave playback.
  
  

  Superb performance flexibility

  The FR-3x allows you to control external MIDI-compatible instruments. The treble keyboard and chord/bass buttons are velocity sensitive, while the bellows controller provides more articulation possibilities than any other MIDI keyboard or MIDI wind instrument.
  
  

  Also available in an exclusive, special edition

  Lightweight, compact and equipped with the same features as the standard FR-3x, the white version model looks gorgeous, with a beautifully decorated bellows and genuine leather and Alcantara® straps.
