A DATA/ENTER knob
This knob allows you to scroll through and select
menu pages, and to modify parameter values. It also
allows you to start/stop an external MIDI device (see
p. 93).
B UP/DOWN buttons
On the main page, [UP] and [DOWN] allow you to
select 9 important functions.
When the menu is displayed, [UP] and [DOWN] are
used to scroll menu pages.
C EXIT/JUMP button
The [EXIT÷JUMP] button allows you to return to the
main page. After selecting a menu function, briefly
pressing [EXIT÷JUMP] takes you back to a higher level.
Press it again to return to the main page.
By holding down [EXIT÷JUMP] while the main page is

environment where you can set and view all available
functions. By holding down [MENU÷WRITE], you acti-
vate the WRITE function, which allows you to save
your settings.
E VOLUME knob
This knob allows you to set the V-Accordion’s overall
volume.
F BALANCE knob
This knob allows you to set the balance between the
Bass and the Treble sections. Turn it towards “BASS”
to decrease the Treble section’s volume. Turn it
towards “TREBLE” to decrease the Bass section’s vol-
ume.
G SET buttons
These two buttons allow you to choose among 80
accordion Sets. Each Set contains suitable settings
for all sections (accordion, orchestral/tonewheel
organ, drums).
H Treble/Orchestra registers
The Treble section contains 14 registers (switches) +
ORCHESTRA selector that allow you to select the
desired sound.
Note: In ORCHESTRA mode registers [1]~[13] provide access
to two sounds (A/B). To select a “B” sound, press the corre-
sponding register twice.
Note: By pressing and holding any register, you can switch
off the Treble section. Press another register to switch it
back on.

utes of inaction to save battery power. This can be changed,
however (see p. 92). Be aware that any unsaved changes are
lost when the FR-7x is switched off by that function.

This ON/OFF switch allows you to switch the simula-
tion of the wooden resonance chamber on and off.
