Treble TX/RX channel

V-Accordion

If you select “In” here, the FR-3x’s sound source can
no longer be played via its keyboards. The display
therefore shows “---” instead of a set number or reg-
ister numbers.

NOTE

See “Connecting an external MIDI device to the FR-3x” on
p. 56 for the required connection.

Treble TX/RX channel

This parameter allows you to define the
MIDI channel for the Treble (accordion)
section. The assignment set here applies
both to the transmission (“TX”) and reception (“RX”) of
MIDI data.

MIDI data are only transmitted when “MId” (see above)
is set to “Out”, while the “RX” part is only used when
“MId” is set to “In”.

1~16

Specifies the treble accordion’s MIDI channel.

OFF

Select “OFF” if the treble section should neither
receive nor transmit MIDI data.

NOTE

Though it is perfectly possible to assign the same MIDI chan-
nel to several sections, the result is usually disappointing and
may lead to a lot of confusion.

Treble Octave Tx

This parameter allows you to transpose
the Note-on messages transmitted by
the treble section up to three octaves up
or down.

This can be used for songs where an accordion register
of the Treble section (for example) should be doubled by
a piccolo flute played by an external module whose
notes would be far too low if they were used as is. As
stated above, each MIDI note has a unique number. This
parameter allows you to add (or subtract) 12 (“1”
octave), 24 (“2” octaves) or 36 (“3” octaves) to (from)
the note numbers generated by your playing.

Bass/Free Bass TX/RX Channel

This parameter allows you to define the
MIDI channel for the bass buttons or
Free Bass (accordion) part, depending on
which mode is currently active.

The assignment set here applies both to the transmis-
sion (“TX”) and reception (“RX”) of MIDI data.

1~16

Specifies the bass or Free Bass accordion’s MIDI chan-
nel.

OFF

Select this setting if the bass or Free Bass section
should neither receive nor transmit MIDI data.

Bass/Free Bass Octave TX

This parameter allows you to transpose
the Note-on messages transmitted by
the bass buttons or Free Bass section up
to three octaves up or down.

Chord TX/RX Channel

This parameter allows you to define the
MIDI channel for the chord buttons
when they are used to play the selected
accordion register.

1~16

Specifies the chord part’s MIDI channel.

OFF

Select this setting if the chord part should neither
receive nor transmit MIDI data.

Chord Octave TX

This parameter allows you to transpose
the Note-on messages transmitted by
the chord buttons up to three octaves
up or down.

Orchestra/Organ TX/RX Channel

This parameter allows you to set the
MIDI channel for the orchestral/organ
part.

1~16

Specifies the orchestral/organ part’s MIDI channel.

OFF

Select this setting if the treble orchestral/organ part
should neither receive nor transmit MIDI data.
