Roland FR-8x V-Accordion Looper Demo by Richard Noel

Visit my web site at for more information. I've had the new Roland FR-8x for one day. Here's one of it's more unusual features, a Real-Time Audio Looper. You can record a “groove,“ as I do in the video, and then play along with it, or add to it as you like. It's a bit tricky to get the timing right on the initial groove recording. This video was one take, no pre-recorded sounds at all. I created the “groove“ live at the beginning of the video, and it then just loops continuously while I add melody and rhythm to it. The FR-8x is the newest addition to the Roland v-accordion line. I thank Rose of Roxy's Music in Batavia, New York for her help in purchasing the 8x.
