Set Demonstration of Roland FR-7x V-Accordion Using Customized Linked Presets

This video is solely for the purpose of demonstrating how one can use the Roland 7x V-accordion to play a wide variety of songs using custom sound sets programmed with linkages between the treble, bass, and chord sections. I am using only a single press of the treble tabs to change voices--no footswitch ever--and only very occasionally do I use the master bar. No external modules either, just the Roland 7x. A single press of a treble register allows you to instantly change sound combinations, including a variety of percussion effects.
For 7x users, I have available a collection of approximately 20 sets (each with 14 registers) that you can purchase and quickly upload into your instrument. Just email me for more information, including a description of each set (see my email address at the end).
You can also program your own customized presets if you prefer. For assistance, consult the User Manual or see my programming tutorials available on my channel.
In this video I play brief excerpts of a variety of songs using sets that I programmed for diverse styles. Because there is a logical layout of each register within sets, it is not too difficult to remember the location of each of the desired sound combinations.
The video was recorded in one 15 minute session, completely unrehearsed and in "real time" in order to show the ease of locating appropriate registers for a wide variety of tunes. Instead of proceeding through each set, register by register, I've taken the approach I would use in a live "gig"--given a song, I decide what registers will "work." Contrary to how I would play on a gig, however, I make multiple changes during each song, simply to show the ease of changing the combinations of sounds, which I refer to as "linked presets." Roland 3x users know this concept as "user program memories."
For me, this approach to playing the 7x is simple and accurate, and allows me to immediately go to the register I would like for any song.
I include on-screen notations to indicate what set and register I am using for each song excerpt.
Finally, the end of the video was cut off abruptly, a few notes before I intended, but because this video is for demonstration purposes I did not re-do it.

Very nice demonstration of the Roland. I play a few of the tunes you played on the demonstration.
Also Subscribed to your channel on youtube. Own several full size accordions.
I started later in life at 36 years to learn to play the accordion and have just kept going, practice 2 hrs every night. Am now 70 yrs young. LOL. Its a great hobby.
You are extremely accurate on the accordion. Wish I had that talent. I amm with an accordion band and we play gigs at seniors villages.I enjoy your videos.
This is just brilliant and espectacular to hear those beautiful sounds coming out of this accordion. It is nice to listen to you playing Mr. Noel. Congratulations.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
This is truly a great pleasure to hear the multiplicity of beautiful sounds, and the way Mr. Noel execute this beautiful instrument. He is unique in mastering this accordion. Sincere congratulations Mr. Richard Noel. 👏👍👏
Thank you, Richard, for showing us how you access the sets. Now I understand how you are able to utilize the many voices and registers. I admire your proficiency on the Roland and your fine musicianship! Many thanks for your instructional videos.
Lorna
Very nice and fantastic Playing.
The best performing and Performer for the V Accodions Roland.7x and 3X.
I look all days of new Uploads.
It's so nice to see the accordion making a comeback for it is such a versatile instrument when you have an accordion you don't need anyone or anything else except possibly a singing voice! Grazie, giovanni
Hi Richard,
Thanks for sending me your 21 customized sets. I followed your Tutorials 1 and 2 and found the importing steps easy to follow.
I have to say that what you have done in layering sounds to suit the style and choice of melody is truly amazing.You've clearly put a lot of time and thought into getting the most out of the Fr 7x, and now all available to the rest of us with a simple touch.
Much appreciated and thanks once again,
Tom
Thank You ! I rescued my accordion from Mom's basement after 40 years of it hiding in the closet. You've inspired me to dust off the instrument and my fingers and play again.Love your music and the Roland is a beautiful instrument !
Grandioso es una belleza de múltiples opciones felisidades
You tantalized me by playing a few bars of malagueña!! Moonlight Sonata would make me the happiest old lady on the planet.
Obviously a Master accordion player with a fantastically versatile instrument.
I thought it was a dumb question after I had posted, then looked at your title but, it just shows what nice sounds you can get, it you are prepared to delve and tinker. thanks for sharing this with me, it sort of opens possibilities on what you can acheive. Thanks a lot

Yes, there are a number of different systems. What I like most about the Roland is the ability to change dynamics via bellows and touch sensitivity rather than using a foot pedal, and it also is amazingly portable and self-contained.
Hi, Mr Richard Noel !
Fantastic ! Marvellous ! What a pleasure to ear you ! Thanks for this moment
Wundervoll!
Hätte ich gern und wünschte mir, eben so gut spielen zu können!!
Wunderbar!!! A true Master/ Innovator!!!
desde chile hermosa interpretaciones de la persona que toca bellas canciones en acordion bendiciones
Thank you for your wonderful comments.
Good question. I definitely am not using the factory sets, although in some cases I borrowed ideas from their examples. Each of the sets I played are from a group of 13 sets I programmed with the sounds I like. I wouldn't say I tweaked but rather started pretty much from scratch. In every set, and even across sets, I'm trying to order the registers in a way that I can remember the positions without having to look at the screen. Then I test them on gigs and tweak some more.
Your songs and harmonic make me wanting continue study the music after 40 years no play although i had ever been vice of Art at my university.
@bakersfieldaccordion Richard, can't wait for your new songs ... I doubt that I will beat you to them. I had an injury in my left hand and couldn't play for weeks. Well, two weeks ago I started practicing again but I felt like a beginner ... thanks for informing me of the comment in the Roland user group concerning my work. Wow, that's really a motivation for me to continue.
Greetings,
Silvia
thanks for the free concert! I had no idea an accordion could create all those sounds!!
I came just to hear beautiful accordion playing and that's precisely what I found. You're a wonderful player my friend :)
Excellent demo best ever demo and played by a virtuoso musician. Thank you.
J'ai acheté cet instrument, c'est vraiment le top du top
Richard, glad to see - and hear! - you again, I've been missing you ... :-) great video, as always. And a perfect demonstration of the wonderful instrument we have. Your sets and registers are really very well elaborate.
Silvia
I just listen to you again and again and I truly like your style and the way you organized your sets. I play only on the italian set 4 and tweek and layer the orchestral voices banjo plus harmonica, vibs with flute, piano with strings, altosax with brass. and i use the bass drum and jazz cymbal on the acoustic bass and guitar, piano. for the latin rhythm i change the chord to organ and layer it with a woodblock
Excellent performance. My father is an accordionist (Dallapè instrument) and I can appreciate your extreme flexibility and precision. Many people play the accordion but often the style is rude with a very poor left hand.
I'm from Denmark too. I play an acoustic Weltmeister accordion, but would also like something flexible like this, just for funsies.
I love my Weltmeister, though. Apparently it's old and from the 1970's and it wheezes like a drunken sailor who has smoked too much throughout his life, but that's what gives it its charm. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
belle demonstration,agreable a entendre,bravo
I began playing a year ago. I play mostly klezmer and eastern european folk, but damn I hope I can be that good one day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! What a great demo!!!
If I saw this guy sitting on a busy street or pier I would most certainly stop and enjoy the show.
Dang!! don’t stop now!! I love malaguena!
Mein lieber Scholli - du beherrscht das Ding aber !!
Das ist ja wirklich ein Genuß, dir zuzuhören bzw. auch zuzuschauen. Du kannst dich doch wirklich sehen lassen.
Werde mir dieses Video auf meinen Kanal holen.
Dank und Gruß
Otto
que buen acordeon lo mejor que e visto.
very nice,good and clean changes,i would love to get my three row accordion,done like this,thanks for the demo,very good ,Roland does it again!
Wow! What a versatile instrument!
Excellent sir,,Musicality was great. 👍👍
So nice instrument!!!!!
Hello, Bravo! Beautiful music my friend and very good vocals. Thank you for sharing. Peace, Hannes 👍🏻⭐️✨🔝😊
I could skate to his music all night long.
That's a fair question. I didn't have a list I followed, so I had to go back and review the video. Anyway, there were excerpts (sometimes quite brief) from a total of 34 songs. There's not enough room to list them here, but I added the list to the description above. Just click the "see all" tab above and you'll see the list at the end.
Très belle démonstration. Merci
Hi Silvia,
Someone recently mentioned your work on the Roland users group, and the praise was richly deserved. I've been out of commission for weeks while trying to polish up my sets and responding to many, many emails. Looking forward to doing several new songs I have in mind if you don't beat me to them.
Richard
Lionlover1986: He has! He has!! Known as practice!
Thanks for great demo. Wife plays FR-3X. Will be in Dallas in March for the Accordion Gathering.
Super profesjonnalneoartystyczne wykonanie
Wonderful demonstration! Thanks!
..классс..!!! заслушался....)))😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
Благодаря,за направените ми предложения!
Very nice
I subscribed
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean here. You can link the 7x to external midi modules, but the way I am playing it is based entirely on the internal sounds of the 7x. No external modules of any sort, but the internal voices are all digital reproductions of the instruments. Most sounds are controlled by the bellows, such as the accordion reeds & sax; some are touch sensitive, such as the piano. Almost all parameters can be adjusted, and the sounds can be shaped in many ways.
Richard
Muy Lindo. Saludos de Argentina!
A wonderful presentation, what is possible with Roland! GReetings Dieter
Very observant. I do use the master bar occasionally, but with caution because it can take you out of "preset" mode so that you cannot quickly access the registers you've carefully programmed with the bass, chord, and treble combination. This only occurs in the preset registers that you have programmed with a solo Orchestra voice.
Many 7x owners routinely use the orchestra tab (register 15) to access the orchestra voices, but I greatly prefer the linked preset approach that I'm using here.
Great player,wonderful instrument.
Wat een techniek zit erin die accordeon zeg..😊
Thanks for the comments. I wish I could play klezmer and eastern european folk, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
Richard
magnifique!
GREAT. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil
Espectacular, lo máximo,saludos desde Chile
tééééda --- super ! aj ja chcem ROLANDA a takúúúú :-)) harmoniku ... so vsetkými registrami --- napodobeninamy - nahrážkamy -- hud. nástrojov :-)
Great demonstration!
Sem duvida esses acordeon veio para revolucionar;muitos timbres e recursos;com isso o instrumento se adapta a praticamente a qualquer estilo;nao e mais aquele instrumento de "veio"que muitos jovens costumavam rotular;agora so falta ter um avanco nos instrumentos de sopro!!!por favor roland e yamaha!!!!
I'll be damned if that thing isn't just about the most versatile one person instrument on the planet.
진짜 아코디언을 배우고 싶게 만드네요. 멋진음악에 감사드리며...
Very beautiful sound *****
Françoise
Sensacional!!!
Instrumento Fantástico, músico excepcional!!
ЗВУЧИТ КЛАСС!!! БРАВО !!!💥💥💥💥💥💥💥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great piece of a machine...and of course a musician too!
If I were Mr. Big ROLAND... I would make Richard my official Roland accordion demonstrator!
wow - thanks for sharing this --really great choices of sound --all good and some I loved more than others.
Great playing as always !!
Thanks, Mike. I'm afraid I'm not the right person to do the "how to" video. My way isn't quite "by the book," but it works for me. What's involved is coupling the desired Bass, Treble and Chord section voices in Menu 2.12, 2.13, and 2.14. There's not enough space to explain further, but once you get the concept it's not difficult, just very time-consuming. There are at least two youtubes that demonstrate the process in different ways. Maybe I could respond separately if you email me.
i'd pay money for a DVD of this guy playing (to the end) all of these songs this way.
Thank you....I enjoyed this so.. so.. so.. much....
@bakersfieldaccordion Thanks Richard. I agree to your oppinion, that can be important points. Greetings Dieter
GENIALNE
bravo richard,
j'ai le même accordéon,mais je n'arrive pas comme vous à mettre 2 sons ensemble comme dans votre démo set 70-to 3 (Piano+Voice).
si vous pouvez m'aider !... merci d'avance.
Very good demonstration. I am having Limex - midi in my accordion, but very interested which other good sounds other companies can produce. Good to compare it. Greetings from Germany! Dieter
excellent!!!
Richard Noel ....Great
excelente execução..
love the music, thanks for sharing
SI, WOOOOUUU, EXCELENTÍSIMO PARA MIS OIDOS, VIVA ROLAND
excellent salesman!!
Funny thing happened. Back in the day keyboard players were so grateful to Bob Moog that he came up with a portable synthesizer, to the point that some said that if it weren't for Bob Moog, we'd be all play accordions these days. That of course implied that accordion was something not cool at all. And today, Minimoog is such a cliched thing. We all want $5,000 red Roland accordions now, but can't afford...
Vous jouer bien👍👍👍
AMAZING!! I want one like this!!
да ..... слов нет . парень рулит как надо!
trés belle démonstration ,bravo!!! trés enrichissante ,ca donne vraiment envie de l'acheter ,enfin l'instrument ne fait pas tout héhé !!! en tout cas belle promotion pour roland .
salutation Laurent.
Thank you for playing Fly Me to the Moon
The prices vary a lot--check online for various prices from dealers. I can give you dealer suggestions if you email me, but in general I'd suggest going with a dealer who can give you a fair price and good service. That isn't always the cheapest price.
million thanx.
predivno roland i maestro

Roland Akordion is The Best
HI, I am not an accorian player, YET, but I am fascinated at the various sounds you can get out of one of these. At the moment I play the organ, but what confuses me is the chord and bass buttons. Do any of these come with a midi connection?
Awesome!!! Could you play "Sonny Boy"? That would be great!!!
maravilloso sonido y fidelidad.
Looks like an I.V. infiltration on your right hand. Hope you are well.
D. Steffen.
Is there a delay in the sounds from left side buttons?
Gracias, Richard
Diego
