• If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select one of the available instrument types:
Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2, Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk,
D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2, Classic2, Studio, Tradition,
Steierische, Trikitixa
• Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set
the volume of the Reed Growl parameter (Off, –40~
“Std”~40).
Note: Whenever you select “ALL” for “Reed Type” and set a dif-
ferent reed type, this growl setting is automatically adapted to
the reed type. It would therefore be a good idea to first select
the reed type and only then change the growl type.
4.6 Bellows Detune
(Off, Low, Standard, High,
Default setting: Standard) This
parameter further adds to the
realism of the sounds emulated
by your FR-7b/FR-5b. Here, you
can specify how strongly the pitch of the simulated
Free Bass reed(s) changes when you open or close the
bellows faster than usual.
If the “Standard” setting seems too mild, try “High”. If it
is too strong, use “Low”. If you do not want any detun-
ing effect, select “Off”. The most convincing setting
usually depends on the selected instrument(s) (see
“Reed Type”).
4.7 Reverb Send, 4.8 Chorus Send,
4.9 Delay Send
(0~127 for all three) Use these
parameters to set the Reverb, Chorus
or Delay send level (how much effect
should be applied to the Free Bass
section). The higher the value you set,
the more the Free Bass section will be
processed by the effect in question.
The other sections (Treble, Bass, etc.)
have the same parameters, so that
you can create a sound image with
various “levels” (foreground, background).
The effects themselves can be edited on separate pages
(see p. 65).
4.10 Free Bass MIDI TX
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 parameters. 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.
