10.8 Bass&Chd Mode
(Default setting: 2 Bs Rows)
This parameter allows you to
specify the number of button
rows available for playing bass
notes. The default is 2 bass
rows and 4 chord rows. By selecting “3 Bs Rows”, you
thus gain 20 bass buttons (an entire row) and lose the
“dim” chord buttons – but that may just be more conve-
nient for you. See also the illustration on page 90.
There are four “3 Bs Rows” options: “A-7th” and
“B-7th” mean that the 6th chord row plays seventh
chords (“7”) that don’t contain the fifth. In the case of a
C7 chord, you therefore hear C-E-Bb (but not the G).
“A-7th” and “B-7th” differ in the arrangement of the
bass notes (see the illustration on page 90).
The “Bx-7th” option reverses the “B-7th” settings (from
right to left), so that the C3 note moves from 9th to
12th position.
Note: This shift does not apply to Free Bass mode, which is an
altogether different mode.
The “A-5dim” and “B-5dim” options mean that those
seventh chords don’t contain the root note. A C7 chord
is then sounded with the notes E-G-Bb (but not the C).
“A-5dim” and “B-5dim” differ in the arrangement of the
bass notes (see the illustration on page 90).
Note: The FR-7x is supplied with several reference caps
designed to help you locate the bass and chord buttons with-
out looking at them. See also page 27.
