Roland FR-3/FR-3b/FR-3s/FR-3sb V-Accordion Quick Start
The FR-3s, FR-3, FR-3sb and FR-3b are the four instruments covered by this V-Accordion Quick Start booklet. The FR-3s and FR-3 are the keyboard versions, while the FR-3sb and FR-3b are the button versions; the FR-3s/FR-3sb have internal speakers, and the FR-3/FR-3b need external amplification unless headphones are used.
The booklet walks through the FR-3's main functions: connections, switching the power on and off, listening to the 25 demo songs, touring the instrument's sections, using orchestral sounds and using the metronome. It notes that the Reference manual covers edit functions and procedures not explained here.
