FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
10.6 Free Bass Mode
(Default setting: Minor 3rd) This
parameter allows you to choose
the note system used in Free
Bass mode. We already men-
tioned that there are a vast
number of accordion varieties. The same is true of Free
Bass systems.
Your FR-7/FR-5 contains the 5 most popular ones (see
the illustration). Be aware that the system you select
here is only used when you activate the FR-7/FR-5’s
Free Bass mode. It is of no consequence for the “regu-
lar” Bass mode. See the illustration on page 71 for the
note assignments.
Note: The FR-7/FR-5 is supplied with several reference caps
designed to help you locate the bass buttons without looking at
them. See also page 23.
10.7 Stereo Width
(–1~–63, Full, Default setting:
–15) As stated on p. 15, much
care has been taken to provide a
natural stereo image for the
accordion sounds. If you think
the stereo image is too wide for comfort (or if you pre-
fer to set the Pan controls on your mixing console dif-
ferently), you can use this parameter to reduce the ste-
reo image.
“Full” means that the original stereo image is used,
while “–63” corresponds to an extremely narrow stereo
image. All other values represent slight (or increasingly
drastic) reductions of the stereo width.
