Playing the bass part with your
right hand (Bass-to-Treble)
The FR-3x provides a mode in which it can be used like
a bassoon accordion. In this mode, the bass part is
played with the right hand. The bass and chord buttons
are inactive (a real bassoon accordion doesn’t have
bass/chord buttons and can only be played with one
hand).
1. Press and hold the [SET] register and press
treble register [3] (“BS TO TREB”).
NOTE
If you hold down [SET] for more than 2 seconds without
pressing another register, the FR-3x switches to PARAME-
TER mode. In that case, press [SET] again to leave that
mode, then repeat step 1.
2. Use the treble registers [1]~[0] to select the
desired bass-to-treble sound.
There are seven accordion sounds that can be
selected using treble registers [1]~[5] (press register
[1] or [2] a second time for sounds 6 and 7). The num-
bers in the table below refer to the treble registers
you need to press.
In addition, there are seven orchestral sounds that
can be selected using treble registers [6]~[0] (press
register [6] or [7] a second time for orchestral sounds
6 and 7):
3. Start playing the bass part with your right
hand.
