10. System parameters (Advanced)
92
r
FR-7x V-Accordion
10.11 Output Level
(–12dB, –6dB, 0dB)
This parameter is only mean-
ingful when the FR-7x is con-
nected to an amplifier, a HiFi
mixing console or a commer-
cially available wireless system. If the FR-7x’s output sig-
nal distorts even if the [VOLUME] knob is set to the min-
imum value (or close to it), try “–6dB”. If that is still “too
hot”, set this parameter to “–12dB”.
Note: This parameter has no effect on the FR-7x’s internal
speakers.
10.12 Auto Power Off
(Disabled, 10 min, 15 min, 20
min, Default setting: 10 min)
This parameter allows you to
specify how long the FR-7x
should wait before switching
itself off while you are not using it.
This is meant to preserve battery power and only applies
when the FR-7x is not connected to the FBC-7. To
“wake” the FR-7x, press its [POWER] button. Select “Dis-
abled” to switch this function off.
WARNING: Be aware that any unsaved changes are lost
when the FR-7x is switched off by this function. Be sure
to save all important settings as soon as you can.
10.13 Start-Up
This page allow you to specify
what the FR-7x should do
when you switch it on.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select “TYPE”,
then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to choose the
type you want to set. The possibilities are:
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob again to select the
“ASSIGN” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the desired setting.
10.14 Start-Up Name
This parameter allows you to
enter a short message (your
name, for example) that is dis-
played each time you switch
the FR-7x on.
See p. 70 for details about entering names. You can
enter up to 8 characters.
10.15 Orchestra Touch
(Fixed Low, Fixed Med., Fixed
High, Low, Medium, High,
Fixed Low+Bellows,
Fixed Med.+Bellows,
Fixed High+Bellows, Bellows,
Default setting: Medium)
This parameter allows you to specify the velocity sensi-
tivity of the Treble keys when they are used to play
orchestral sounds. It has no effect on the “TW Upper”
organ sound.
There are three “Fixed” curves that always use the same
value, no matter how hard or lightly you press the keys
(no dynamic control). “Low” means that a low value is
used, “Med” represents a medium value and “High” a
high value.
Low” means that even relatively light key presses
already allow you to play loud notes. “High” represents
the most responsive velocity curve that requires a con-
siderable amount of strength for fortissimo notes, but it
also provides more expressive options.
Medium” is in the middle. “Fixed Low+Bellows”, “Fixed
Med.+Bellows” and “Fixed High+Bellows” mean that the
selected orchestral sound uses fixed velocity values but
can also be controlled by the bellows movements.
Bellows” means that the selected orchestral sound is
controlled by the bellows movements – not the velocity
values generated by the keys.
Note: By selecting a “Fixed” option for “10.2 Bellows Curves”
on p. 86, you effectively switch off the bellows sensor. This
also means that any setting that includes “Bellows” no longer
works, because the FR-7x no longer “listens” to the bellows’
movements.
10.16 Orchestra Bs&Ch Touch
(Fixed Low, Fixed Med., Fixed
High, Low, Medium, High,
Fixed Low+Bellows,
Fixed Med.+Bellows.
Fixed High+Bellows, Bellows,
Default setting: Medium)
This parameter allows you to specify the velocity sensi-
tivity of the bass and chord buttons when they are used
to play one of the orchestral sounds. It has no effect on
the “TW Lower” or “TW Pedal” organ sounds.
See above for an explanation of the various options.
Note: By selecting a “Fixed” option for “10.2 Bellows Curves”
on p. 86, you effectively switch off the bellows sensor. This
also means that any setting that includes “Bellows” no longer
works, because the FR-7x no longer “listens” to the bellows’
movements.
TYPE ASSIGN Meaning
Set 1~80
Allows you to specify which Set
should be loaded at power-on.
Bass Link On, Off
Allow you to specify which Link
function (see p. 68) should be
activated at power-on: Orchestral
Link, Orchestral Chord Link,
Orchestra Free Bass Link, and/or
Bass Link.
Orch.Link On, Off
