FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion
Volume-related functions
The three remaining “shortcuts” allow you to quickly
change the balance of various sonic aspects.
■Orchestra Volume and Orc. Bass Volume
These two parameters allow you to set the volume of
the Treble and Bass Orchestra sections relative to the
associated accordion part. See pages 26 and 27 for
details.
■Noise Edit (Valve & Button)
Here are two more “virtual” parameters. You will
probably agree that electronic sounds must not only
reproduce the basic timbre of an existing sound, but
also the original instrument’s behavior and typical
“noises” in order to be perceived as authentic. In the
case of a guitar that would be the sliding noise of the
fingers. An accordion, on the other hand, produces
mechanical valve and button noises (clicks) that can-
not be suppressed on an acoustic instrument.
On the FR-7/FR-5, the volume of those noises can be
changed if you think they are too prominent or too
soft. Note that the parameters on this Jump page
belong to two different MENU sections and are to be
found on separate pages: “Valve Level” is a Treble
parameter, “Button Level” is a Bass/Free Bass parame-
ter.
(1) Press the [DOWN] button three times.
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select either “Valve
Level” or “Button Level”, depending on which
parameter you want to set.
(3) Turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (or use the [UP]/
[DOWN] buttons) to select the desired noise level
(Off, –30~“Std”~+30).
A negative (–) value decreases the level of the
selected noise parameter, a positive (+) value
increases it. Select “Std” to return to the factory
value and “Off” if you do not need the noise in ques-
tion.
(4) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] to return to the Main page.
