Reverb Level
This parameter allows you to set the
level of the reverb effect with respect to
the unprocessed signal. Set it to “0” if
you don’t want to use the reverb effect.
Chorus Type
Chorus broadens the spatial image of the sound, adding
richness. You can choose from 8 types of chorus.
This parameter is a “Macro” function
that recalls suitable preset values for all
Chorus parameters (which have been
preset at the factory).
The available options are:
Chorus Level
This parameter allows you to set the
level of the chorus effect with respect to
the unprocessed signal. Set it to “0” if
you don’t want to use the chorus effect.
Orchestra Touch
This parameter allows you to specify the
velocity sensitivity of the treble keys/
buttons when they are used to play
orchestral percussive sounds.
The available options are:
■
Fixed Low, Fixed Medium, Fixed High
These three fixed curves use the same velocity value,
no matter how hard or lightly you press the keys.
“Low” means that a low value is used, “Med” repre-
sents a medium value and “High” a high value.
■
Low, Medium, High
The “Low” curve means that even relatively light
presses already allow you to play loud notes. The
“High” curve represents the most responsive velocity
curve. It requires a considerable amount of strength
for fortissimo notes, but it also provides more expres-
sive options. The “Med” curve is in the middle.
■
Fixed L+Bellows, Fixed M+Bellows
Fixed H+Bellows
These curves mean that the orchestral sound uses
fixed velocity values but can also be controlled by
bellows movements.
■
Bellows
“Bellows” means that the Orchestra section’s expres-
sion is controlled by the bellows movements – not
the velocity values generated by the keys.
NOTE
By selecting a “Fixed” option for “Bellows Curve” on p. 49,
you effectively switch off the bellows sensor. This also
means that any setting that includes “Bellows” no longer
works, because the FR-1x no longer “listens” to the bellows’
movements.
Orchestra Bass/Chord Touch
This parameter allows you to specify the
velocity sensitivity (curve) of the bass
and chord buttons, which are used to
play orchestral percussive sounds.
The available options are: Fixed Low, Fixed Medium,
Fixed High, Low, Medium, High, Fixed L + Bellows,
Fixed M + Bellows, Fixed H+ Bellows, Bellows. See
“Orchestra Touch” on p. 48 for details about these set-
tings.
NOTE
By selecting a “Fixed” option for “Bellows Curve” on p. 49, you
effectively switch off the bellows sensor. This also means that
any setting that includes “Bellows” no longer works, because
the FR-1x no longer “listens” to the bellows’ movements.
