4.4 Button Noise
The bass section of almost all
accordion instruments can be
played via buttons. Such but-
tons produce a typical noise
when pressed. On this page,
you can select the instrument whose button noises
should be used when you select this register. (Note that
other Free Bass registers can be assigned different
noises.)
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter.
(2) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the desired
setting.
The 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.
(3) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter.
Use the “LEVEL” parameter to specify how prominent
the noise should be.
(4) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the desired
setting.
The setting range is: “Off”, –40~“Std”~40, Default
setting: STD.
Note: Whenever you select “ALL” for “4.1 Reed Type” and
set a different reed type, this noise setting is automatically
adapted to the reed type you select. It would therefore be a
good idea to first select the reed type and only then
change the noise type.
4.5 Reed Growl
This parameter allows you to
simulate the typical noise a
bass reed makes just before it
stops vibrating altogether.
Each instrument of the accor-
dion family produces its own typical growl. The growl
that matches the sound selected with “4.1 Reed Type”
probably yields the most realistic effect, but feel free to
select another one if you like it better.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select one of the available instrument types:
Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2, Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk,
D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2, Classic2, Studio, Tradition,
Steierische, Trikitixa, F-Jazz, Classic3, Bajan
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
set the volume of the Reed Growl parameter (Off,
–40~“Std”~40).
Note: Whenever you select “ALL” for “4.1 Reed Type” and
set a different reed type, this growl setting is automatically
adapted to the reed type. It would therefore be a good idea
to first select the reed type and only then change the growl
type.
4.6 Bellows Detune
(Off, Low, Standard, High,
Default setting: Standard)
This parameter further adds to
the realism of the sounds
emulated by your FR-7x. Here,
you can specify how strongly the pitch of the simulated
Free Bass reed(s) changes when you open or close the
bellows faster than usual.
If the “Standard” setting seems too mild, try “High”. If it
is too strong, use “Low”. If you do not want any detun-
ing effect, select “Off”. The most convincing setting usu-
ally depends on the selected instrument(s) (see “Reed
Type”).
4.7 Reverb Send, 4.8 Chorus Send, 4.9 Delay Send
(0~127 for all three) Use these
parameters to set the Reverb,
Chorus or Delay send level
(how much effect should be
applied to the Free Bass sec-
tion).
The higher the value you set,
the more the Free Bass section
will be processed by the effect
in question.
The effects themselves can be
edited on separate pages (see
p. 82).
4.10 MIDI TX
This page contains a series of
MIDI parameters for the
selected register. You need to
set them one by one.
See page 113 for details about
the MIDI parameters. These parameters are saved along
with all other Set parameters, which allows you to use
different MIDI settings for each Set – and even each
register within a Set.
4.11 Name
This parameter allows you to
name the currently selected
bass register for easy refer-
ence while performing with
the FR-7x.
See “2.16 Name” on p. 70 for the procedure.
