(3) Press another register to change the sound.
The display briefly confirms your setting and indi-
cates which footage you selected:
These indications refer to the octaves (vertical direc-
tion) and the number of slightly detuned reeds that
are used (horizontal direction).
On the Main page, the number of the selected regis-
ter appears in the BASS field:
(4) If you think the sound is too loud or too soft, you
can change the setting of the [VOLUME] knob.
(5) If you still can’t hear the bass and chord notes you
are playing, change the [BALANCE] knob’s setting.
This knob is used to set the balance between the Tre-
ble and Bass registers. When it is turned all the way
to TREBLE, you won’t be able to hear the Bass section.
(6) Use the SET [√][®] buttons to select another Set and
again play a few notes.
The number of the selected Set is shown in the upper
right corner of the display. You can also use the
FBC-7’s SET footswitches to select Sets.
■Playing in Free Bass mode
The FR-7b/FR-5b also provides a Free Bass mode,
which is chiefly used by professionals who prefer to
play the left-hand notes (Bass section) differently.
You may never need it, but if you wish to experiment
with it…
Note: See page 71 for how to select the note system for Free
Bass mode. That setting is shared by all Sets.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“FREE BASS”.
The display now briefly responds with:
“L” refers to the low range and “H” to the high range.
The exact ranges depend on the FREE BASS mode you
selected. See also the illustration on page 72 where
the high range is indicated by means of black but-
tons, and the low range by means of white buttons.
Note: See page 71 for the assignment of the bass buttons to
the available Free Bass notes.
(2) Use the Bass registers to select another registration
(if necessary).
(3) Press the three FREE BASS registers again to return
to the normal Bass mode.
Note: You can add an orchestral sound to the Bass, chord or
Free Bass section. See page 28 for details.
