FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
About the Main page
You may have realized by now that, with the exception of the display as well as the additional buttons and knobs, the
FR-7/FR-5 looks like a conventional accordion. The display contains important clues about the settings that are currently
in effect.
What’s shown in the display depends on the function
you select. When you switch on the FR-7/FR-5, or if you
press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button several times, the Main
page appears. In some cases, it may also reappear auto-
matically after changing a parameter. The Main page
must be displayed whenever you wish to play the FR-7/
FR-5 without changing any of its “internal” settings.
A typical Main page display looks like this:
The exact contents depend on the Set that is currently
selected and on how the various sections and perfor-
mance functions are set. The A~H fields, however, are
always there:
A Selected Orchestra register (here “14”).
B Orchestra mode.
C Power source (here the battery).
If you are working with a battery, this field also
indicates the remaining battery power.
D Number of the currently selected Set.
E Selected Treble register (here “8”).
F Bass, Free Bass, Orchestra Bass, Orchestra Chord,
Orchestra Free Bass register (here “4”).
Only one of the two available Bass sections (Free
Bass or Bass) can be active at any one time.
G Link symbols. These symbols mean that the Orches-
tra (upper entry) and Bass registers change when-
ever you select a different Treble register (page 46).
The Bass Link function also applies to the Orchestra
Chord section (or the Orchestra Free Bass section).
H Part Select indicator. It tells you whether the Treble
keyboard plays the accordion or orchestral sound.
Note: The information shown in the display may change when
you rotate a knob or press a button. In such cases, however,
the Main page reappears after a few seconds.
