USB midi for FR 3-X ?

[Squeezeplay]

Does anyone know if the WIDI USB midi works with the Roland FR 3-X ?

I think the USB port is only to access storage, such as settings and audio files, not to provide communications of any kind.

I receive midi via usb port on my arranger, so I was thinking it might be possible on my accordion. The midi socket is very fragile, so I am hoping not to use it…either that, or put a midi connection inside the grille, like I did on my Victoria.

i have not heard a single report of fragility in any FR3 Roland
MIDI port

if you are concerned, there are several right angle midi cables
on Amazon including a 4 pack from CME

The WIDI Bud https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7I2TUS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works on the USB port of my Roland FR-8x. I don't think it would work with the FR-3x, but the CME WIDI Master should: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z76FG9F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Give it a shot.
