1. TUNING parameters
The parameters of the TUNING group apply to the entire FR-7/FR-5 and are not saved to a Set. You can
save most of them to the FR-7/FR-5’s Global memory, however. See pages 38 and 40 for how to select
and adjust the parameters.
Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.
Any changes you make can be saved using the WRITE
function. Though there is no need to save your changes
right after performing them, please bear in mind that
they will be lost when you switch off the FR-7/FR-5.
Changes you want the FR-7/FR-5 to remember must be
saved as soon as possible. Here is how:
(1) Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the
following page appears:
(2) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (or use the [UP]/
[DOWN] buttons) to select “Global”.
(3) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your
selection.
Note: The GLOBAL page shows all parameters that are saved to
the Global memory (there is only one such memory).
(4) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your
changes. The display briefly shows a confirmation:
Note: If you don’t save the edited Global settings, they will be
used until you switch off the FR-7/FR-5 (or change the settings
again).
1.1 Master Tune
(415.3~466.2, Default setting:
440.0) This parameter allows
you to change the FR-7/FR-5’s
overall tuning, which may be
necessary when you play with
acoustic instruments that cannot be tuned easily or if
you use a CD or cassette tape as accompaniment. The
factory default, “440.0Hz”, represents the reference
pitch used by all electronic musical instruments.
1.2 Transpose
(F# –6, G –5, Ab –4, A –3, Bb –2,
B –1, C 0, C# 1, D2, Eb 3, E 4,
F 5) This parameter allows you
to transpose all sections of the
FR-7/FR-5. See page 31 for
details.
1.3 Scale
This page contains two parame-
ters. The first one allows you to
select the tuning system and the
second one to specify the funda-
mental/root of the key you want
to play in. This was already discussed on page 32.
Type: Equal (Off), User 1, User 2, User 3, Arabic1,
Arabic2, Just Major, Just Minor, Pythagorean, Mean-
Tone, Werckmeister, Kirnberger
Key: C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B
1.4 Scale Edit
Here comes a display page with
three selectable and adjustable
parameters. You may have
noticed that there are three
“User” scales. They refer to tun-
ing systems you can program yourself. Obviously, you
only need to do this if none of the factory scales corre-
sponds to the system you would like to use (a gamelan
tuning, for example).
As this is a rather complex matter, the procedure for
programming your tuning is a little different from the
adjustment of other parameters:
• After selecting this page, pressing [DATA÷ENTER] will
do nothing.
• Instead, you need to press the [MENU÷WRITE] button
to jump to the following page:
