USB host allows to customize orchestra and accordion sounds and to save/load user program data, while
the bellows resistance regulator allows to control the handiness of the bellows. Lightweight and portable
the FR-3x is perfect for students, accordion hobbyists, but also stage performers.

Sophisticated bellows response
Faster response and 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. Also the Virtual Tone Wheel is available to play
amazing organ sounds in almost the same way as an organ player using the treble section. You can add a
rotary effect (slow/fast). Besides enjoy using the FR-3x to play simply 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 amplier in order to
produce sounds. Its onboard amplication 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 outlet.
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. Also the USB
host allows you to customize orchestra and accordion sounds and to save/load the user program data.
What’s more, you can play MP3 and Wav les
Superb performance exibility
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, MIDI wind instrument, etc., you may know.
