Orchestral sounds for the Free Bass
section
The orchestral Free Bass part can replace the accordion
sound played by the button keyboard while Free Bass
mode is active. In that case, all bass buttons play bass
notes – no chords.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“FREE BASS” to switch to the accordion mode of
the same name.
This is not necessary if you are already in Free Bass
mode.
(2) Simultaneously press the three registers in the
middle (“ORCH FREE BS”).
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:
(3) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.
Setting the volume of the ORCH FREE BS sound
There may be times when the orchestral Free Bass sound
is too loud or too soft with respect to the treble accor-
dion and/or orchestral sound. In that case, you can
change its volume:
(1) On the main page, press the [DOWN] button four
times.
The display shows:
Note: This volume setting cannot be changed if the ORCH
FREE BS sound is not in use.
(2) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This parameter has a setting range of “Off”, –40~+40.
“STD” means that the ORCH FREE BS part uses its
“normal” volume. Negative values (–) make the ORCH
FREE BS part softer, while positive values (+) make it
louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 103.
(3) Return to the main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
(4) To switch off the ORCH FREE BS section, press the
“ORCH FREE BS” registers again to return to nor-
mal Free Bass mode.
Press them yet again to leave Free Bass mode and
return to Bass mode.
