FR-7x V-Accordion
A part you disconnect from its keyboard is flagged as
“EXT MIDI” on the main page:
(In this example, all sections are disconnected from
the FR-7x’s tone generator.)
Note: When you select “On”, the FR-7x’s registers no
longer transmit the sound selection clusters you may have
programmed using “CC00, CC32, PC” on p. 114. Instead,
they transmit their “Std” values.
(6) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
(7) See “Saving settings using the WRITE function” on
p. 103 if you want to save these settings.
If you don’t save them, they are reset when you
switch off the FR-7x.
Solving MIDI buffer problems
(12.3 Bellows TX Resolution)
This parameter allows you to specify how many data the
FR-7x’s bellows may transmit for expression purposes
(see also “Expression” on p. 115).
As long as the external sequencer you work with does
not display a “MIDI buffer overflow” message, you can
leave this setting at “High”. Depending on your
sequencer, you could also select “Super” to achieve the
most natural response.
If, however, the bellows’ data amount is too much for
the receiving sequencer (because such data are trans-
mitted on several channels simultaneously), select a dif-
ferent setting. In that case, the amount of data will be
reduced. This leads to a coarser resolution, and maybe
even audible steps, but at least, your sequencer will be
able to record the data. If “Medium” still generates too
many data, select “Low”.
“TX” means that this parameter only applies to data sent
by the FR-7x. Its own MIDI buffer is big enough to
receive high-resolution data.
(1) While the main page is displayed, press and hold
the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the display looks as
follows:
(2) Press register [12] to specify the function group.
(3) Press register [3] to select the following page:
(4) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “VALUE”
field.
(5) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “Super”
(double-byte resolution), “High” (high resolution),
“Normal”, or “Low” (low resolution).
(6) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob.
(7) See page 103 if you want to save these settings.
If you don’t save them, they are reset when you
switch off the FR-7x.
Specifying which parts transmit expression
messages
(12.4 Expression MIDI TX)
(ALL, Treble, Orch., Bass&Chord, Orch.Bs, Orch.Chd,
Orch. Fbs)
This parameter allows you to specify which section
should transmit Expression messages (see also “Expres-
sion” on p. 115). You can either select all sections (“ALL”)
or specific ones and activate or deactivate them individ-
ually.
“TX” means that this parameter only applies to data sent
by the FR-7x.
Note: This parameter applies to the FR-7x as a whole (all Sets).
(1) While the main page is displayed, press and hold
the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the display looks as
follows:
(2) Press register [12] to specify the function group.
(3) Press register [4] to select the following page:
(4) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “PART”
parameter.
(5) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the section
whose setting you want to change.
