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-7/FR-5 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 62 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 62 where
the high range is indicated by means of black but-
tons, and the low range by means of white buttons.
Note: See page 62 for the assignment of the bass buttons to
the available Free Bass notes.
(2) Use the Bass registers to select another registra-
tion (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 or Free
Bass section. See page 27 for details.
■Using the FR-7/FR-5’s digital effects
While playing on the Bass keyboard, you may have
noticed that the accordion sounds were enhanced by
effects (probably reverb). It may also have struck you
that the effects change whenever you select a differ-
ent Set.
The FR-7/FR-5 contains 3 digital effects that apply to
all sections. See page 21 for details and how to set
them.
Note: In certain cases, changing the knob position of an effect
may not produce any audible result. This is due to the Send
Level settings of the sections. It means that a given section (or
all sections) was programmed not to send any signal to the
effects processor in question. Even setting the corresponding
knob to the maximum therefore produces no change.
