Re: In a moment of madness, I joined the Roland FR-18 club!

Braves,

My plan is to use the FR-18 for "Zydeco" stuff ..
Boozoo, Delafose, Chenier, etc.

I anticipate playing the FR-18 through the PA when
electric bass & drums are honking along.

I don't anticipate replacing any of my 1-rows with
the new unit .. I'm quite satisfied with the 10-buttons
just the way they are :-)

And, if I wind up doing any studio recording, I'll
likely use my Baldoni 3-row.

One of my main motives is to avoid the necessity of
purchasing additional 3-rows for various key changes.

With that said, does anyone have a favorite "Zydeco"
setting for the FR-18?

Merci!

I bet could find a digital banjo.

Re: In a moment of madness, I joined the Roland FR-18 club!

I think Ganey likes set 3.2 Red, and 3.3 green. One of my band mates told me 3.3 Red sounds better.

Digital Banjo?!

Hey Diwght,

"Digital Banjo!" .. C'mon man, no profanity on this
forum please

Just kidding. Thanks for the setup info. I will
try it out!

Re: Digital Banjo?!

What, no digital stimulation allowed in this joint?

It sounds like you're taking the Cajun Strangers in a new direction. That's exciting. I look forward to hearing the results. JJ
