FREE BASS EDIT parameters
The parameters of the FREE BS EDIT group apply to the Bass section when it is used in Free Bass mode
(see p. 23) and are saved to the selected Set. They allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion. After
settings these parameters, you probably also need to adjust the TREBLE EDIT parameters (which are
also saved to a Set). See pages 35 and 37 for how to select and adjust the parameters.
Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”. See also “Introduction”
on p. 40 for some general hints.
• All changes you make here apply to the last Free Bass
register you selected. So be sure to press the register
whose settings you wish to change before selecting
and editing any of the FREE BS EDIT parameters. You
can, however, decide to save your settings to a differ-
ent register (see below) if you realize that you’ve
been editing the wrong one.
• See page 62 for how to select the note system for
Free Bass mode. That setting is shared by all Sets.
Any changes you make can be saved even without
using the WRITE function (see p. 77). To avoid losing
your changes, it would be a good idea to take advan-
tage of the following automatic routine.
Whenever you press [EXIT÷JUMP] after editing a Menu
parameter, the FR-7/FR-5 asks you whether you want
to save your changes:
“YES” is selected by default. If you want to save your
changes, proceed as described below. (If you don’t, turn
the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “NO”, then press the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob.)
Note: You can save your changes later using the WRITE function
(see p. 77). But be sure to do so before selecting another Free Bass
register or Set – and before switching the FR-7/FR-5 off.
To save your changes:
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now
responds with:
(2) If necessary, change the name of the Free Bass reg-
ister you have just edited (you may want to enter
the name of the “Reed Type” you selected).
See “Entering names” on p. 40.
(3) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to jump to the fol-
lowing page:
(4) If necessary, select another Set and another regis-
ter than the ones you are currently using.
Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “SET” or “REG-
ISTER”, then turn it to select the number (1~40 for
SET, 1~7 for REGISTER).
(5) Press the [MENU÷WRITE] button to save your
changes. The display now briefly confirms that
your settings have been stored:
Note: You can only edit one Free Bass register at a time. If you
select another register before saving the changes for the previ-
ously selected register (by selecting “NO”), those changes are
erased. Do not switch to Bass or Orchestra Bass mode before
deciding whether or not you want to save your changes.
Similarly, do not switch off the FR-7/FR-5 or select another Set
before saving settings you want to keep: save them first.
4.1 Reed Type
This parameter allows you to
transform the selected register
into a different instrument and
assign different sounds to each
footage the register plays.
Note: You will notice that there are fewer options here than for
the Bass section. That’s because you cannot play chords in Free
Bass mode.
• If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
the “FOOT” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the reed you wish to assign another
sound to. The options are: ALL, 16, 8
• Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select a type (“instrument”).
The TYPE options are: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2,
Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2,
Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, Trikitixa
Note: Whenever you select “ALL” and set a different reed type,
the “4.4 Button Noise” and “4.5 Reed Growl” settings are auto-
matically adapted to the reed type you select here. You may
have to change those settings afterwards if you wish to use
different noise type.
