6. Orchestra Edit parameters (Advanced)
78
r
FR-7x V-Accordion
The parameters of the
ORCH. EDIT group apply to
the ORCHESTRA section.
See page 29 for details
about the ORCHESTRA sec-
tion. You may remember that the FR-7x allows you to
choose from 26 sounds (because each register provides
access to an “A” and a “B” sound).
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”.
•The selection of ORCHESTRA sounds and modes can
be automated for each treble register memory using
the “2.13 Orchestra Link” parameter (page 68).
• Remember to press the register you want to edit
once (“A”) or twice (“B”) before you start changing
the settings.
•These parameters can only be selected when
ORCHESTRA mode is active (page 29).
• See page 103 for how to save your changes. Also be
sure to read “Important remark about saving your
settings” on p. 64.
6.1 Timbre
This parameter group allows
you to assign the desired
orchestral or organ sound to
the selected register.
See “Assigning orchestral to
the registers” on p. 51 for the procedure. As stated there,
each register can select only one type of sound. If you
select a TW organ sound, you can also edit and name it.
6.2 Octave
(–3~0~+3)
This parameter allows you to
transpose the ORCHESTRA
section (i.e. the currently
selected orchestral or organ
sound) up or down.
This can be interesting when you are using the Orches-
tra part in Dual mode (page 30) and want it to sound
above or below the selected treble accordion register.
6.3 Volume
(Off, –40~“Std”~40, Default
setting: Std)
This parameter allows you to
set the ORCHESTRA section’s
volume.
This is a relative parameter, which means that its value is
added to or subtracted from the standard value (“Std”).
6.4 Panpot
(Bass 63~0 Treb 0~63 Bass)
Depending on the selected
sound, this parameter allows
you to change the ORCHES-
TRA part’s placement in the
stereo sound field (i.e. between the left and right speak-
ers) to create a livelier sound image. The “Treb” values
mean that the sound will appear on the same side as the
treble accordion sound. This setting applies to both the
FR-7x’s internal speakers and the L/MONO socket.
The “Bass” values mean that the sound will appear on
the same side as the bass accordion sound. This setting
applies to both the FR-7x’s internal speakers and the R/
MONO socket.
Choose “0” if the ORCHESTRA sound should be at the
center of the stereo image.
Note: If a TW organ sound is assigned to the current ORCHES-
TRA register, the “VALUE” parameter will read “Rotary” to sig-
nal that the “VALUE” parameter cannot be set.
6.5 Bellows Detune
(Off, Low, Standard, High,
Default setting: Standard)
This parameter allows you to
specify how strongly the
orchestral sound’s pitch
should be influenced by opening and closing 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 sound.
6.6 Reverb Send, 6.7 Chorus Send, 6.8 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
Orchestra section). The higher
the value you set, the more
the Orchestra section will be
processed by the effect in
question.
The other sections have the
same parameters, so that you
can create a sound image with
various “levels” (foreground, background).
The effects themselves can be edited on separate pages
(see p. 82).
