Something like this:
LOW mode (register [11])
This is the opposite of HIGH: notes above the one
whose key you are holding down are sounded by the
accordion register. This can be used in situations
where the melody (or counter-melody) lies above the
notes you wish to hold.
The display briefly confirms your selection.
(2) Again play a few notes and listen to the result.
Note: The ORCHESTRA mode setting can be saved to a Set
(see p. 103). The saved mode is recalled when you activate
the ORCHESTRA part.
Quickly adding and muting the orchestral sound
After activating the ORCHESTRA section and selecting a
mode, you can play certain phrases using the accordion
sound and then add the selected ORCHESTRA sound to
it when you repeat such a phrase.
Note: The following switches the Orchestra part on and off in
DUAL, HIGH or LOW mode. The treble accordion part goes on
sounding, however.
(1) Press the Master bar that protrudes from under-
neath the Treble keyboard to switch the ORCHES-
TRA part on or off.
The keyboard icon in the “ORCH” field appears when
the ORCHESTRA section is on, and disappears when
the ORCHESTRA section is off (see the illustration
below).
Look 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) orchestral
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:
(1) Switch on the ORCHESTRA part.
See “Orchestral sounds for the treble section” on
p. 29.
(2) On the main page, press the [DOWN] button once.
(3) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This parameter has a setting range of “Off”, –40~+40.
The “STD” means that the Orchestra part uses its
“normal” volume. Negative values (–) make the
ORCHESTRA part softer, while positive values (+)
make it louder.
(4) Return to the main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
To return to a state where only the Treble accordion
section sounds:
(5) Press the [CANCEL] register to turn the FR-7x into a
normal accordion again.
To activate the ORCHESTRA part again, repeat steps
(1) and (2) on page 29.
