Orchestral sounds for the bass
section
The FR-7x’s orchestral functionality actually comprises
four sections: one for the Treble keyboard (called
“Orchestra”) and three for the Bass buttons (called
“Orchestra Bass/Orchestra Chord/Orchestra Free Bass”).
The orchestral bass part can be used instead of the bass
section (thus replacing the accordion sound played by
the bass rows of the button keyboard). Again, the
assignments programmed at the factory can be replaced
with your own preferred assignments. Furthermore, you
can assign TW organ sounds to the bass registers (see
p. 52).
The ORCH BASS part only applies to the bass rows
(the ones closest to the bellows) and has no effect on
the chord buttons.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“ORCH BASS”.
Note: The numbers shown in the illustration above do not
appear on the registers themselves. They have been added
for your reference.
The display now briefly responds with an image simi-
lar to the following:
(2) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.
Note: The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*)
can only be controlled by bellows movements. Those
sounds are not velocity sensitive. For the other sounds, see
also “10.16 Orchestra Bs&Ch Touch” on p. 92.
(3) Press the three ORCH BASS registers again to
return to normal bass mode.
Setting the volume of the ORCH BASS sound
There may be times when the Orchestra Bass sound is
too loud or too soft with respect to the other sounds
you can play simultaneously. In that case, you can
change the ORCH BASS section’s volume:
(1) Select ORCH BASS mode by simultaneously press-
ing the three registers labeled “ORCH BASS”.
(2) On the main page, press the [DOWN] button three
times.
The display shows:
(3) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This parameter has a setting range of “Off”, –40~+40.
“STD” means that the ORCH BASS part uses its “nor-
mal” volume. Negative values (–) make the ORCH
BASS part softer, while positive values (+) make it
louder.
(4) Return to the main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
Note: You can also assign drum sounds to the bass buttons
and play them simultaneously with the orchestral sound
(see “3.7 Bass Drum” on p. 72).
(5) Press the three ORCH BASS registers again to
return to the normal Bass mode.
