Importing the settings of a
previous FR-3 model
This function allows you to load MIDI bulk data of an
older FR-3 or FR-3b V-Accordion model from a USB
memory’s root directory.
CAREFUL! The settings loaded with the “OLd” function
will overwrite all of the FR-3x’s internal settings.
Preparing the file
Here is what you need to do with the FR-3:
NOTE
If you already have a backup file of the FR-3’s settings you are
interested in, you only need to make sure that the file with
those settings was saved as a Standard MIDI File and that its
name and extension conform to the requirements (three dig-
its + “.mid” extension).
• Connect the legacy FR-3 to your computer or your
computer’s MIDI interface.
• Use a sequencer program and the FR-3’s Bulk Dump
function (“dMP”) to transmit its settings to the com-
puter.
See the FR-3’s owners manual and the documenta-
tion of your sequencer program for details.
• Save the resulting sequence as a Standard MIDI File
(with the “.mid” extension).
NOTE
The file’s name may only consist of three digits and the
extension (“001.mid”, for example).
• Remove the USB memory from your computer and
connect it to the FR-3x (see “Connecting an optional
USB memory” on p. 34).
Loading your archived settings into the FR-3x
1. Press and hold down the [SET] register.
The display shows the name of the last parameter
you selected.
2. Use treble register [3] or [4] (PARAM LIST)
to select “OLd” (Old Data Load).
3. Use treble registers [1] and [2] (VALUE) to
select the number of the file you want to
load from the connected USB memory.
If the USB memory doesn’t contain any archive files,
the display will show “---” instead of a number.
4. Press treble register [7] (ENTER) to load the
selected archive file.
The display shows “lod” (Load), then “don” (Done) to
indicate that the file was loaded successfully. Next,
the FR-3x returns to the main page.
