Orchestral sounds for the Chord
section
The ORCH CHORD part can replace the accordion sound
played by the chord rows of the bass keyboard.
The ORCH CHORD part only applies to the chord rows
and has no effect on the bass rows. The ORCH CHORD
part is not available in Free Bass mode (because there
are no chord buttons in that mode).
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers in the
middle (“ORCH CHORD”).

Setting the volume of the ORCH CHORD sound
There may be times when the orchestral chord sound
is too loud or too soft with respect to the other avail-
able sections. In that case, you can change its vol-
ume:
(1) Simultaneously press the three registers in the
middle (“ORCH CHORD”).
(2) Press the [EXIT÷JUMP] button to return to the main
page.
(3) On the main page, press the [DOWN] button twice.

(4) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the desired
value.
This parameter has a setting range of “Off”, –40~+40.
“STD” means that the ORCH CHORD part uses its
“normal” volume. Negative values (–) make the ORCH
CHORD part softer, while positive values (+) make it
louder.
(5) Return to the main page by pressing [EXIT÷JUMP].
(6) Press the three registers in the middle (“ORCH
CHORD”) again to return to normal (accordion)
chord mode.
