The options depend on the “2.12 Bass Link” setting,
because the Orchestra Chord and Orchestra Free Bass
sections are not always available:
“Bass” and “Free Bass” are two different modes. In
“Free Bass” mode, all bass buttons play bass accordion
sounds, so that the “CHD” options here wouldn’t
make sense. That is why you cannot even select them.
Similarly, when “Bass” mode is activated (by selecting
one of the seven Bass registers for “2.12 Bass Link”),
the Orchestra Free Bass sounds cannot be used. That
is why you cannot even select them here.
Conversely, since the “2.12 Bass Link” determines
what’s possible or not, changing its setting may cor-
rect your “2.14 Orchestra Chord Link” setting. Here’s
an example:
Suppose you first set “2.14 Orchestra Chord Link” to
“FBS-Flute” (while “2.12 Bass Link” is set to “No Link”).
You then change your mind and set “2.12 Bass Link”
to “Bass 6”. This means that “FBS-Flute” is no longer
supported (because it’s a Free Bass orchestral sound
that is not available in Bass mode). The FR-7/FR-5
therefore changes “2.14 Orchestra Chord Link” to “No
Link”.
For this reason, we recommend that you first set
2.12 Bass Link “BASS” (if you need it), and only then
“2.14 Orchestra Chord Link”.
Note: The 2.12 Bass Link “ORC.BASS” setting does not influ-
ence the options available for 2.14 Orchestra Chord Link.
Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the Bass Link function (which
also applies to the Orchestra Chord or Orchestra Free
Bass sections), you need to press and hold down the
[ORCHESTRA] register and press [9]:
Note: Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the
Orchestra Chord or Orchestra Free Bass sound does not change
right away). You need to select another Treble register whose
Bass Link function is on for the link to work.
Note: The Orchestra Chord and Orchestra Free Bass Link func-
tions need to bee activated/deactivated using the “Bass Link”
procedure. There is no separate switching function for the
Orchestra Chord or Orchestra Free Bass section.
Repeat this procedure to defeat the Bass Link func-
tion if you no longer need it (or assign “CANCEL” to
another Treble register and press it).
On the main page, links are indicated as follows:

This page contains a series of
MIDI parameters for the
selected register you need to set
one by one. See page 86 for
details about the MIDI parame-
ters. These parameters are saved along with all other
Set parameters, which allows you to use different MIDI
settings for each Set – and even each register within a
Set.
