9. SET COMMON parameters
The SET COMMON group contains parameters that apply to all sections, but only within the framework
of the currently selected Set, most notably the parameters that specify the sound/character of the
Reverb, Chorus and Delay effects.
Never switch off the FR-7b/FR-5b or select another Set
before saving the settings you wish to keep, because
doing so will erase your changes.
Be aware that the save function explained below only
saves the SET COMMON parameters. It does not save
the settings of the various sections and/or registers.
Any changes you make can be saved using the WRITE
function. Though there is no need to save your changes
right after performing them, please bear in mind that
they will be lost in the following cases:
• When you select another Set
• When you switch off the FR-7b/FR-5b
Changes you want the FR-7b/FR-5b to remember must
be saved as soon as possible. Here is how:
(1) Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the
following page appears:
(2) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (or use the [UP]/
[DOWN] buttons) to select “Set Common”.
(3) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
(4) If necessary, select another Set by turning the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob.
For your reference (and to avoid overwriting the
wrong SET COMMON settings), the display also shows
the name of the target Set memory (below the
arrow).
(5) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your
changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation:
(6) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the Main
page.
Note: See pages 39 and 41 for how to select and adjust the
parameters below.
The settings you perform here apply to all sections that
use the effect in question. Especially for the reverb and
chorus effects, it is therefore wise to work with univer-
sally usable settings. Try to consider these two as “gen-
eral” effects that will be used by several parts at once.
The delay effect, on the other hand, is probably only
useful when applied to one part (because too many
repeated sounds clutter up the sound image).
The connection of the sections with the effects proces-
sors is as follows:
9.1 Reverb Macro Type
This is where you specify what
kind of effect the Reverb pro-
cessor should generate and how
loud it should be.
Note: You can also copy the Reverb
(or even all effects) settings from another Set. See page 77.
(1) If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob to select an effect type.
The TYPE parameter on this page is a “Macro” func-
tion, i.e. it recalls suitable preset values for all Reverb
parameters (Pre-LPF~RevPre DlyTm) on the “Reverb
Parameters” page. The Macro therefore also selects a
“Character”. In many instances, editing only the
parameters on this page is enough.
