Free Bass Button Noise
The bass section of almost all accordion
instruments can be played via buttons.
Such buttons produce a typical noise
when pressed.
Use this parameter to specify how prominent that but-
ton noise should be in Free Bass mode.
Free Bass Reed Growl
This parameter allows you to simulate
the typical noise a bass reed makes just
before it stops vibrating altogether (a
kind of “musical flatulence” if you will). Each instru-
ment of the accordion family produces its own typical
growl.
Use this parameter to specify how prominent that
growl should be in Free Bass mode.
Metronome Tempo
This parameter allows you to set the
metronome tempo. See page 35 for how
to activate the metronome.
Metronome Time Sign
This parameter allows you to set the
metronome’s time signature. See
page 35 for how to activate the metro-
nome.
Here is what the displayed values correspond to:
Metronome Level
This parameter allows you to change the
metronome’s level when it is too loud or
too soft. See page 35 for how to activate
the metronome.
Metronome Function
This parameter allows you to choose the
function to combine when you hold
down the [SET] register and press treble
register [3] (METRONOME). See “Using the metronome”
on p. 35.
The available options are:
■
Metronome
Select this setting to take advantage of the internal
metronome.
■
MIDI Start/Stop
This option means that the register combination acts
as a MIDI remote control that starts and stops play-
back of an external sequencer or arranger module.
Reverb Type
This effect creates the impression that
you are playing in a concert hall, a
church or a room. It adds “depth” to the
sound. This is where you can specify what kind of effect
the Reverb processor should generate.
This parameter is a “Macro” function that recalls suit-
able preset values for all reverb parameters (which have
been preset at the factory). The available options are:
Value Off, –40~Std~+40
