FR-7b/FR-5b V-Accordion
This function allows you to
associate an orchestral sound
with the Treble register you are
currently editing and to specify
which mode should be used. See
also “Selecting the Orchestra mode” on p. 26 for an
explanation of the available modes.
The options for these parameters are:
• REGISTER: No Link, 1A Trombone, 1B Trumpet,
2A TenorSax, 2B AltoSax, 3A Clarinet, 3B Oboe,
4A Harmonica, 4B MuteHarm, 5A Violin, 5B Pizzicato,
6A Flute, 6B PanFlute, 7A HighLand, 7B Zampogna,
8A PercOrgan, 8B JazzOrgan, 9A RotOrgan,
9B TremOrg, 10 ScatVoice, 11 Mandolin, 12 AcGuitar,
13 AcPiano
• MODE: ----, Solo, Dual, Low, High, Solo M, Dual M,
Low M, High M
Select “No Link” if there should be no connection
between the currently selected Treble register and
the Orchestra Treble section.
“––” means that the currently selected mode does
not change. So if LOW mode is selected when you
press this register, the orchestral sound you select
here can be played in LOW mode.
The “M” options work more or less the same. There is
one major difference, however: they do not switch on
the Orchestra part if it is currently off (while the
options without the “M” do). So if you set MODE to
“Dual M” and then select this register, the orchestral
sound (assigned to “REGISTER”) changes, and so does
the MODE setting – but the Orchestra part is not
switched on (if it is off).
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 Orchestra Link function, you
need to press and hold down the [ORCHESTRA] regis-
ter and press [10]:
Note: Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the
orchestral sound does not change right away). You need to
select another Treble register whose Orchestra Link function is
on for the link to work.
Repeat this procedure to defeat the Orchestra Link
function 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 parameter that allows you
to specify which Orchestra
Chord or Orchestra Free Bass
sound is selected whenever you
press the Treble register you are
currently editing. That way, you only need to press one
register instead of at least two (one Treble, one Bass).
The Orchestra Chord and Orchestra Free Bass sections
are mutually exclusive (there are no chord buttons in
Free Bass mode).
• CHORD-FREEBS:
No Link, CHD-Trombone, CHD-TenorSax, CHD-Clari-
net, CHD-TremOrg, CHD-Voice, CHD-AcGuitar,
CHD-AcPiano
FBS-Trombone, FBS-Clarinet, FBS-Oboe, FBS-Flute,
FBS-PercOrgan, FBS-AcGuitar, FBS-AcPiano
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”
setting
