The display shows one of the following pages with
the name of the patch selected in step (4) above.
The “PATCH” parameter allows you to select a differ-
ent sound for the current register or register memory
(“A” or “B”).

(9) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a patch.
You can play on the piano or button-type keyboard
to audition the patches while selecting them.
Patches whose names start with “TW” are organ
sounds (“TW”= “tonewheel”). Whenever you select
such a sound, and [EDIT] field is displayed. It means

Saving your settings
(1) Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the
following page appears:
The FR-7x automatically selects the ORCH(ESTRA)
register you have just edited and displays its line and
checkbox.
Note: Even if you don’t save your settings, the FR-7x will
remember them (for any Set and any register) until you
switch it off, or until it is switched off by the “10.12 Auto
Power Off” function (see p. 92).
(2) To save the patch to a different register (or register
memory), rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
that register for “to”.
Otherwise, continue with the next step.
(3) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your set-
tings.
The display briefly responds with:
Note: Wait for this message to disappear before switching
the FR-7x off. Otherwise, you risk damaging its entire
memory contents.
When the operation is complete, the display shows
the “Function complete” message and then returns to
the “WRITE” page.
(4) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] several times to return to the
main page.
About organ sounds
Your FR-7x contains a three-part Virtual ToneWheel
organ that uses the same technology as the Roland
VK-series organs. You can set the (virtual) harmonic
bars—and a number of typical organ effects and
noises—to your liking (like on a real organ).
There are three organ parts: TW UPPER (treble key-
board), TW LOWER (chord rows of the bass buttons)
and TW PEDAL (bass rows of the bass buttons). You are
free to assign an organ sound to just one section (treble
keyboard, chord rows or bass rows), to two, or to all
three of them. Each assignment applies to the register
you selected prior to changing the setting (see below).
