MIDI parameter indeed belongs to the “Global” group.

Solving MIDI buffer problems
(10.3 Bellows TX Resolution)
This parameter allows you to specify how many data
the FR-7/FR-5’s bellows may transmit for expression
purposes (see also “Expression” on p. 74). As long as the
external sequencer you work with does not display a
“MIDI buffer overflow” message, you can leave its set-
ting at “High”. If, however, the bellows’ data amount is
too much for the receiving sequencer (because such
data are transmitted on five channels simultaneously),
select a different setting. In that case, the amount of
data will be reduced. This leads to a coarser resolution,
and maybe even audible steps, but at least, your
sequencer will be able to record the data. If “Medium”
still generates too many data, select “Low”.
“TX” means that this parameter only applies to data
sent by the FR-7/FR-5. It’s own MIDI buffer is big
enough to receive high-resolution data.
(1) Press and hold the [EXIT÷JUMP] button until the
display looks as follows:
(2) Press register [10] to specify the function group.
The “Ext. Seq. Playback” parameters can be set via a
parameter of the “10. MIDI” group, which is why you
need to select that group.
(3) Press register [3] to select the following page:
(4) Rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select “High”
(high resolution), “Medium”, or “Low” (low resolu-
tion).
(5) Press [EXIT÷JUMP] to return to the Main page.
The FR-7/FR-5 now 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.)
