Setting the volume of the Bass Orchestra sound
There may be times when the Orchestra Bass sound is
too loud or too soft with respect to the Bass/Free
Bass accordion sound. In that case, you can change
its volume:
(3) Press the [DOWN] button twice.
The display now responds with:
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of “Off”, –40~“Std”~+40. “Std” means that the
Orchestra Bass part uses its “normal” volume. Nega-
tive values (–) make the Orchestra Bass part softer,
while positive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 95.
(5) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
Switching off the Orchestra Bass part
(6) Press the three ORCH BASS registers again to
return to the normal Bass mode.
Orchestral sounds for the Chord section
The Orchestra Chord part can replace the accordion
sound played by the chord rows of the bass keyboard.
There are no clever modes (DUAL, SOLO, etc.) here.
The ORCH CHORD part does what its name implies: it
only applies to the chord rows and has no effect on
the bass rows. The ORCH CHORD part is not available in
Free Bass mode (because there are no chord buttons in
that mode).
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“ORCH CHORD”.
The display now briefly responds with:
(2) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.
Note: The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*) can
only be controlled by bellows movements. Those sounds are
not velocity sensitive.
