2. Treble Edit parameters (Advanced)

FR-7x V-Accordion
2.12 Bass Link
Here are two parameters that
allow you specify which Bass
and/or orchestra bass register/
sound are selected whenever
you press the treble register
you are currently editing. That way, you only need to
press one register instead of at least two (one treble, one
bass). There are other parameters that allow you to
associate a Treble Orchestra and/or Chord/Free Bass
Orchestra sounds with the currently selected accordion
register (see below).
The options for the parameters on this page are:
BASS: No Link, Bass 1~7, Free 1~7 (This selection also
influences the options for the “2.14 Orchestra Chord
Link” parameter.)
ORC.BASS: No Link, name of the selected 1~7 regis-
ter.
If you define a “Free” register, the Bass section auto-
matically switches to Free Bass mode when you press
the Treble register while the “Bass Link” function is
active. (If you define a “Bass” register, the bass sec-
tion switches from Free Bass to bass mode at that
time, if necessary.)
If you also define an ORC.BASS sound (other than
“No Link”), the bass section automatically activates
the ORCHESTRA BASS part when you press the treble
register.
Select “No Link” if there should be no connection
between the currently selected Treble register and
the bass or orchestra bass section.
Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the Bass Link function, press
and hold down the [ORCHESTRA] register and press
register [4]. (By default, “Bass Link” is on.)
Note: Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the
Bass/Free Bass/Orchestra Bass/Orchestra Chord/Orchestra
Free Bass register does not change right away). You need to
select another treble register whose “Bass Link” function is
on for the link to work.
Repeat this procedure to defeat the Bass Link func-
tion if you no longer need it.
On the main page, links are indicated as by means of
white arrows:
Note: You can specify that this function should be acti-
vated automatically each time you switch the FR-7x on.
See “10.13 Start-Up” on p. 92.
2.13 Orchestra Link
This function allows you to
associate an ORCHESTRA
sound (instrument or organ)
with the treble register you
are currently editing and to
specify which mode should be used. See “Selecting
ORCHESTRA mode” on p. 30 for a detailed explanation
of the available modes and “Assigning orchestral to the
registers” on p. 51.
The options for these parameters are:
REGISTER: No Link, name of ORCHESTRA register
memory 1A~13B (the FR-7x allows you to name each
register memory).
MODE: ----, Solo, Dual, Low, High, Low Trb, High Trb,
Solo M, Dual M, Low M, High M, Lo.M Trb, Hi.M Trb.
Select “No Link” if there should be no connection
between the currently selected Treble register and
the Orchestra Treble section.
“––” means that the currently selected mode does
not change.
Mode Meaning
Solo Only the ORCHESTRA sound is played.
Dual The ORCHESTRA and accordion sounds
are played.
Low The first note you press triggers the
ORCHESTRA sound. If you hold down that
key or button and play higher notes,
those notes are played by the accordion
sound.
High The first note you press triggers the
ORCHESTRA sound. If you hold down that
key or button and play lower notes, those
notes are played by the accordion sound.
Low Trb Is similar to Low mode. Here, however,
the ORCHESTRA sound can be switched
on/off using the Master bar.
High Trb Is similar to High mode. Here, however,
the ORCHESTRA sound can be switched
on/off using the Master bar.
Solo M Is similar to Solo mode. Here, however,
you can alternate between the ORCHES-
TRA and accordion sounds using the
Master bar.
Dual M Is similar to Dual mode. Here, however,
you can switch Dual mode on and off
using the Master bar.
Low M Is similar to Low mode. Here, however,
you can switch Low mode on and off
using the Master bar.
