FR-7x V-Accordion
Bass strap
The FR-7x’s bass strap,
which is used to move the
bellows in and out, is made
of leather. Its slack can be
adjusted according to your
preference by rotating the
adjuster (see the illustra-
tion). Turn it to one side to
tighten the bass strap, and
to the other to loosen it.
About the main page
With the exception of the display and the additional
buttons and knobs, the FR-7x looks and feels like a con-
ventional accordion. The display contains important
clues about the settings that are currently in effect.
What’s shown in the display depends on the function
you select. When you switch on the FR-7x, or if you
press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button several times, the main
page appears.
In some cases, it may also reappear automatically after
changing a parameter. The main page must be displayed
whenever you wish to play the FR-7x without changing
any of its “internal” settings.
A typical main page display looks like this:
The exact contents of the display depend on the Set that
is currently selected and on how the various sections
and performance functions are set. The A~H fields,
however, are always there:
A
Orchestra mode
B
Name and number of the currently selected Set
C
Battery level/power source indicator
Shows whether the FR-7x is working on the battery
pack or connected to the FBC-7. If you are working
with the battery pack, this field also indicates the
remaining battery power.
D
Selected Orchestra register
A bold line below the Orchestra register number
means that a sound of group “B” is selected (see
“Orchestral sounds for the treble section” on p. 29).
E
Selected Treble register
F
Bass, Free Bass, Orchestra Bass, Orchestra Chord,
Orchestra Free Bass register
Only one of the two available Bass sections (Free Bass
or Bass) can be active at any one time.
G
Link symbols
These symbols mean that the Orchestra (upper entry)
and Bass registers change whenever you select a dif-
ferent Treble register (page 68). The Bass Link func-
tion also applies to the Orchestra Chord section (or
the Orchestra Free Bass section).
H
Part Select indicator
This indications tells you whether the Treble keyboard
plays the accordion or orchestral sound.
Note: The information shown in the display may change
when you rotate a knob or press a button. In such cases,
however, the main page reappears after a few seconds.
