3.1 Reed Type (Advanced)
V-Accordion
r
71
The parameters of the
BASS EDIT group apply to
the Bass section (bass and
chord notes) and are saved
to the selected Set. They
allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion. See
pages 62 and 63 for how to select and adjust the
parameters.
Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the
value that is indicated as “Default setting”.
All changes you make here apply to the last Bass register
you selected. So be sure to press the register whose set-
tings you wish to change before selecting and editing
any of the BASS EDIT parameters. You can, however,
decide to save your settings to a different register (see
below) if you realize that you’ve been editing the wrong
one.
These parameters can only be selected when Bass mode
is active (page 25).
See page 103 for how to save your changes. Also be sure
to read “Important remark about saving your settings”
on p. 64.
3.1 Reed Type
This parameter allows you to
transform the selected register
into a different instrument,
and to assign different sounds
to each reed the register plays.
See “2.1 Reed Type” on p. 65 for a discussion of the pos-
sibilities and the aspects you need to pay attention to.
Bear in mind, however, that the parameters on this page
apply to the selected bass register.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select the reed you wish to assign another sound
to.
The options are: ALL, 16’, 8’, 8’-4’, 4’, 2’
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select a type (“instrument”).
The TYPE options are: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2,
Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2,
Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, Trikitixa,
F-Jazz, Classic3, Bajan
To save time while changing the “TYPE” setting of one
or several reeds, you could proceed as follows: sup-
pose all reeds are currently set to the wrong TYPE and
you want to use 16’, 8’ and 4’ as “Bandoneon”. In that
case, set FOOT to “ALL” and TYPE to “Bandoneon”.
Now, all reeds use the “Bandoneon” setting. Now use
“TYPE” to switch off the reeds you do not need.
3.2 Register
The parameters on this page
are used in combination with
the parameters above.
Here, you decide which reeds
should be audible and how
they should be played. It is therefore on this page that
you specify whether the sounds you selected above will
be used.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select the desired reed.
The options are: 16’, 8’, 8’-4’, 4’, 2’
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “STA-
TUS” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to specify whether the selected reed should
sound and whether you can or cannot use it to
play chords.
The STATUS options are: Off, Bass, Chord,
Bass&Chord.
The available options depend on the selected footage,
however:
Note: All reeds (“16’” & “8’” for the bass, “8-4’”, “4’” & “2’”
for the chords) must use the same assignment. If you select
“Bass&Chord” for “4’” and then set “2’” to “Chord”, “4’”
automatically switches to “Chord” (the last selection you
make is adopted by all reeds of the same “yes” group). You
can, however, select “Off” for each reed individually.
Note: Whenever you select “ALL” and set a different reed
type, the “3.4 Button Noise” and “3.5 Reed Growl” settings
are automatically adapted to the reed type you select here.
You may have to change those settings afterwards if you
wish to use different noise type.
3.3 Reed Volume
This is the last parameter that
can be set for each reed indi-
vidually. It allows you to cre-
ate the desired “mix” (volume
balance) among the active
reeds (see the “3.2 Register” page).
This is a relative parameter: its value is added to or sub-
tracted from the standard value (“Std”). As a rule, first
decide which reed is most important and set its “Vol-
ume” parameter to “Std”. Then reduce or increase the
volume of the “ancillary” reeds to create the desired bal-
ance.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select the reed whose volume you want to set.
The options are: ALL (all reeds simultaneously), 16’, 8’,
8’-4’, 4’, 2’
