Note: See step (4) below “Defining the ‘PC’ format” for the
“group” concept.
(5) If necessary, press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to erase
the last entry you made.
Note: The FR-7x uses a smart entry system: after entering
“52” (or “53”, “54”, “55”,… “59”), you can’t add a third num-
ber, because the highest number supported by the “SEND
PC” function is “512”.
Note: The [EXIT÷JUMP] button has two functions here:
when pressed lightly, it deletes the last entry you made
(“backspace”). By holding it for ±1 second, you delete all
figures and return to the main page.
(6) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to transmit the
number you entered.
MIDI parameters for the various
sections/parts
The MIDI parameters discussed below belong to sepa-
rate groups and are saved for the corresponding sec-
tions. This means that each Set can use different MIDI
settings and thus control external MIDI devices in vari-
ous ways. Carefully read the following before editing
the available parameters.
Important remarks
The parameters discussed below apply to the transmis-
sion of MIDI data (“TX”) and therefore only to MIDI mes-
sages that are generated when you yourself play on the
FR-7x.
Bear in mind that the MIDI messages discussed below
are only executed by an external tone generator if its
MIDI receive (“RX”) channel is set to the number you
assigned to the section in question (page 109).
Sections
The parameters discussed here are available in the fol-
lowing sections: Treble, Bass (and Chord, which is con-
sidered a separate section on the MIDI level), Free Bass,
Orchestra, Orchestra Bass, Orchestra Chord and Orches-
tra Free Bass.
The reason why they are included in the section param-
eters rather than the MIDI group is that the MIDI group
applies to the entire FR-7x (all sections, all Sets), while
the parameters below can vary from Set to Set.
Procedure for setting these parameters
To access the parameters discussed below, proceed as
follows:
(1) Select the parameter group of the section you wish
to edit.
Either press the [MENU÷WRITE] button and select the
parameter group with the [DATA÷ENTER] knob or use
the “JUMP TO” function (press and hold the
[EXIT÷JUMP] button while the main page is displayed,
then enter the parameter address using the Treble
registers, see p. 62).
(2) Select the parameter.
(If you used the JUMP TO function above, the param-
eter is already selected. Otherwise press the
[MENU÷WRITE] button and select the parameter with
the [DATA÷ENTER] knob.)
The following are MIDI functions:
2.15 MIDI TX
3.12 Bass MIDI TX
3.13 Chord MIDI TX
4.10 MIDI TX
5.11 MIDI TX
6.10 MIDI TX
7.10 MIDI TX
