■Switching off the Orchestra part
To return to a state where only the Treble accordion
section sounds:
(10) Press the [CANCEL] register. Now, the FR-7/FR-5 is
a normal accordion again.
To activate the Orchestra part again, repeat steps (1)
and (2) on page 25.
Orchestral sounds for the Bass section
The orchestral bass part can be used instead of the Bass
section (thus replacing the accordion sound played by
the bass rows of the button keyboard). There are no
clever modes (DUAL, SOLO, etc.) here.
Furthermore, the ORCH BASS part does what its name
implies: it only applies to the bass rows (the ones
closest to the bellows) and has no effect on the chord
buttons.
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers labeled
“ORCH BASS”.
The display now briefly responds with:
(2) Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.
Note: The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*) can
only be controlled by bellows movements. Those sounds are
not velocity sensitive. For the other sounds, see also
“10.12 Orch. Bs&Ch Touch” on p. 72.
Note: The numbers shown in the illustration above do not
appear on the registers themselves. They have been added for
your reference.
■Setting the volume of the Bass Orchestra sound
There may be times when the Orchestra Bass sound is
too loud or too soft with respect to the Bass/Free
Bass accordion sound. In that case, you can change
its volume:
(3) Press the [DOWN] button twice.
The display now responds with:
(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This is actually a balance parameter with a setting
range of “Off”, –40~“Std”~+40. “Std” means that the
Orchestra Bass part uses its “normal” volume. Nega-
tive values (–) make the Orchestra Bass part softer,
while positive values (+) make it louder.
You can save the new value (and the remaining
changes you make). See page 92.
(5) Return to the Main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
■Switching off the Orchestra Bass part
(6) Press the three ORCH BASS registers again to
return to the normal Bass mode.
