Christmas Songs, Roland FR-8x Accordion, Richard Noel

- This is a demonstration video that shows how the Roland FR-8x v-accordion can be used in User Program Mode to play a wide variety of songs with minimal button presses. In this example, I use just one bank of 14 user program registers, each programmed with a different combination, of treble, bass, chord, and percussion sounds. I also use, on occasion, the master bar to toggle between the orchestral and accordion sounds within user programs.
The video is annotated to indicate the register in use as well as when the master bar is used to toggle between treble orchestra and accordion tones.
All songs are played live, with no break between them other than to press one of the treble registers. No external sound modules are used, only the onboard sounds of the 8x instrument.
The effectiveness of this approach depends on creating a logical layout of the user programs that will allow you to activate the sound combinations you want, without having to even refer to the viewing screen.
The songs selected are traditional Christmas pieces that all are in the public domain.

Hi Richard
By listening to Christmas songs felt the snow fall outside my door. I went outside to see and it was an illusion caused by your music.
I felt in my childhood.
Thank you.

Bravissimo .💞💞💞
Thank you for taking the time to show us all this! We really can appreciate the enormous possibilities of the FR8x.
Excellent combination of sounds, and impecable fingering is Richard Noel characteristics. Style and domain of the instrument. No doubt about it. Congratulations for the pleasure to have you as one of the best accordionist players ever.
A happy/healthy new year to you and your loved ones.
Красавчик! В таком возрасте и так играть -это КРУТО!!!!
Noël joue Noël c'est magnifique, je ne me fatigue pas de vous écouter si souvent...🎄 🎄 🎄 Admiration et Joyeux Noël . Merci Merci
Es un verdadero placer ver tus videos y escuchar tu música.
Felicidades Noel.
I too play the accordion; my grandfather started me at age 5 on his old Honer button accordion. I have a Dallape accordion now, wish I could afford a Roland. Love you music and enjoy these videos. Thank you very much for sharing.
Hi Michael. Don't regret what you do have. If you play then enjoy. I also play accordion and love my Italian 11 voice from the 50's. It still sounds lovely and no amount of modern gismos make it sound worse. if you want all this get a Yamaha Tyros (I use the two and four) and compared to them this Roland sounds naff.
This guy is a nice player. Nice technique and he uses the Roland goofy magic tricks to actually make music. Very few accordion players that are musicians any more. Nice job man, I enjoy your stuff.
Thank You, and a Merry Christmas !!! Maybe Santa will put a Roland under my tree !!!
BLESSING TOUCHING HAND ACCORDEONISTE EVER
AWESOME... you're style and choice of treble/bass voices are always very relaxing and easy to listen to... I could just loop this video and play it over and over all CHRISTmas season.. Thank you for sharing..
O Holy Night is especially transcendent. Lovely performance.
sehr schöne Einstimmung für das kommende Fest - danke
Reminds me of a gorgeous pipe organ!!!
Very nice demonstration Richard. Your written explanation is good and can I add that you also chose very appropriate voices for the tunes, Great articulation and nice bellows control.

Extraordinario Mr. Noel, me encanta su música.
Yo tengo un Roland Fr-8x, pero no consigo estos sonidos tan buenos.
Saludos, Blas.
L'accordéon acoustique est devenu " un orgue " I va me falloir me procurer un deuxième Accordéon ! Merci à vous Monsieur Noël et merci à Roland .
Wonderful Rchard!!!!!
Thanks for this amazing Christmas medley! I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas Season!

Bravo, Richard! I am in the middle of a Christmas video as well - let's say we will have contrasting styles! I love the demonstration mode and visual setting graphics!
I'm actually working on a Christmas CD, a "Traditional Noel." It will be more polished than this demo, which I posted mostly to demonstrate the use of user programs. Looking forward to your video.
Bravo!! Merry Christmas and Great New Year to you when the time comes.
You made me like like some of the voices I've been avoiding! :-)
Lol!! Avoid nothing on a Roland!! Too beautiful to miss!! I am just learning (self teaching) on a 1x. I am sooo focused on learning how to play an accordion that I forgot about the great sounds it creates.
Sir, great performance!! It is encouraging me to to do more hard work on my Accordion.
Que bonito Richard
Happy New Year!
wunderschön
Beautiful Christmas music !!!

fantastic
Great Job! ☺
HI Richard, I can't seem to find an answer to this question answered completely even from Roland. Can you tell me which LOWEST price Roland Accordion will play the pipe organ sound?. Roland wrote back that only the 8X can do this but it seems that even the 3X can play a lot of organ sounds but can it imitate the church or pipe organ as well or close to it?. Thank you , love listening and watching you play.
I believe that each of the v-accordions can play a pipe organ sound if the AccOrchestra expansion is installed. For example, I have a 7x youtube where I did Bach's Tocatta in D Minor, at Toccata in D Minor by Bach, Performed by Richard Noel on the Roland FR-7x. You just have to adjust the settings to make it sound okay.
Even my little 1x has an organ sound!! Love that little 14 pounder!!😂🤗perhaps someday I’ll be able to play something on it. Scales are getting much better tho😂🤗heck... I’m only 75 and self teaching. Was darn good on the trombone way back when---should’ve taken a great travel/orchestra offer. Oh well....happy with my Chihuahua and learning on my 1x
muy bien lo suyo , hace rendir su acordeón que me gustaría tener
Good!!!!
Great as always Richard, just how many Roland accordions do you have? I've seen you with fr3 , fr7x , fr8, and white one??
Would love the white one, but difficult to order in the UK.
Keep up the good work.
Regards Stuart
I wonder how much that weighs, that accordion. I can play on a piano acc, but it is not a heavy one, amazing sound. Wow, it sounds like a pipe organ.
Can one do something similar as the "attach the bells to the bass" for the fr3x too, Noel?
Yes, you can add the AccOrchestra expansion to your 3x, then select the Tubular bell as the bass or chord voice. It's not a percussion but an orchestral sound that you add to either the bass or chord.
Where did you your accordion at because I would like to buy one
I think he sells them at a studio in NY
Roland-Akkordeons sind nicht Service-unterstützt. Man bekommt keine Ersatzteile mehr z.B. für FR 7
todas as suas melodias ficaram muito lindo mais a mais linda foi a primeira sera porque auguem pode me Responder o poeque .
Why? it's an accordion. it's meant to sound like an accordion, surely. Madness. Plus some lovely Christmas Carols roundly massacred. Nice!
Surely we're not watching the same thing.
We are. I'm just not won over by gimmicks and remember when these carols sounded beautiful sung by real people and accompanied by real instruments. Take out the cheesy midi background in this and it would sound like nothing.
SONS MOL BEN LOGRATS BON ANY
