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-7b/FR-5b
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).

This page contains a series of
MIDI parameters for the
selected register you need to set
one by one. See page 89 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.
