FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
LOW [11]: This is the opposite of HIGH and can be
used in situations where the melody (or counter-
melody) lies above the notes you wish to hold.
(4) While holding down the [ORCHESTRA] register,
press [11], [12], [13] or [14] to select the desired
mode.
The display briefly confirms your selection (only one
of the following messages is actually displayed):
(5) Again play a few notes and listen to the result.
Note: The Orchestra mode setting is saved to a Set (see p. 43).
The saved mode is recalled when you activate the Orchestra
part.
■Quickly adding and muting the Orchestra sound
After activating the Orchestra section and selecting a
mode, you can play certain phrases using the accor-
dion sound and then add the selected Orchestra
sound to it when you play it again.
The following switches the Orchestra part on and off
in DUAL, HIGH or LOW mode. The Treble accordion
part goes on sounding, however.
(6) Press the Master bar that protrudes from under-
neath the Treble keyboard to switch the Orchestra
part on or off.
The display now looks as follows (same system for the
HIGH and LOW modes):
Note which field contains a keyboard icon, then press
the Master bar again and look at the display. Play a
few notes to understand what happens.
■Setting the volume of the (Treble) Orchestra
sound
There may be times (in DUAL, HIGH or LOW mode)
when the ORCHESTRA sound is too loud or too soft
with respect to the Treble accordion sound. In that
case, you can change its volume:
(7) Press the [DOWN] button once.
(8) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of –30~“Std”~+30. “Std” means that the
Orchestra part uses its “normal” volume. Negative
values (–) make the Orchestra part softer, while posi-
tive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 77.
(9) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
