Changing Instruments on the Roland FR8x

This is an educational video on how you can have different instruments along with an accordion on the Roland FR-8x. There are many ways of doing this, but this is a simple method than can be done with very little setup. Here I am showing how to use the palm bar with orchestra 1 and orchestra 2. Also, I have included my version of Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie Polka.

Hi Joe, was the palm switch swapping functionality a part of the FR8X standard features or was it Dale’s programming? I enjoyed your video.

I am so sorry I missed your question. The palm swapping was not part of Dale's programming. By default, the palm switch is set to go between your instruments and the accordion when you have and instrument button selected. If you are only in accordion mode, then the switch will take you to Master. The default is switch 8. All that being said, you may change the switch to take you to any of the accordion switches. Also, you are able to set the chin buttons to do things. It is a very awesome accordion!
