LDC IN socket

This is where you can connect the supplied power adaptor (PSB-1U). Note that you can also purchase 8 optional batteries and use the FR-2/FR-2b without the adaptor.

MMIDI OUT/IN socket

This socket can be used to receive or transmit MIDI data. Its function depends on the setting of the “MIDI Out/In” parameter (see p. 21).

Note: After selecting the “MIDI IN” setting, you will hear noth-

ing when you play on the FR-2/FR-2b’s keyboards: it will only respond to MIDI messages received from an external device.

NOUTPUT L/MONO (TREBLE) & R/MONO (BASS) sockets These sockets can be connected to an amplifier, a mixing console or a wireless system. If you use both connectors, the FR-2/FR-2b’s output is stereo. In that case the signal of the Treble section is transmitted to the L/MONO socket, while the R/MONO socket trans-

mits the bass (and chord) signal. If you only use one jack (connected to the “L” or “R” socket), the FR-2/ FR-2b’s output is mono.

OPHONES socket

This is where you can connect stereo headphones (Roland RH-A30, RH-200s or RH-300). Doing so does not mute the OUTPUT sockets.

Important remark

After connecting any cable to the FR-2/FR-2b, be sure to never place it on the side when not using it.

•Always stand the V-Accordion on its rubber feet (and in the corresponding direction) to avoid damaging the plugs.

•Always handle and move the FR-2/FR-2b with care and pay special attention to the cable slack to avoid damag- ing or bending the cables.

•If you place the FR-2/FR-2b on your lap, ensure that the audio and adaptor cables run between your legs (not sideways) to avoid damaging or bending the cables.

Personalizing your FR-2/FR-2b

The artwork you see behind the treble registers (above the Roland logo) can be replaced either with one of the six sheets supplied with the FR-2/FR-2b or with a graphic you create yourself. To do so, proceed as follows:

(1) Use a coin to loosen the two screws holding theBe careful not to scratch the housing of your FR-2/ “traforo” cover:

Be careful not to turn the screws too far—they should remain in the traforo cover.

(2)After loosening both screws, you can open the traforo cover:

(3)Remove the sheet from underneath the traforo cover and insert another one.

You can either insert one of the supplied sheets or create your own artwork. If you prefer to create your own, pay attention to the following:

•You can use your color printer and a graphic program to create your own artwork.

•Be sure to use paper or rather thin media—cardboard is usually too thick.

•For a professional look, be sure to prepare a sheet with the following dimensions: 364mm (L) x 92.9mm

(H).

(4)Secure the traforo cover by tightening the two screws using a coin.
