4. Free Bass Edit parameters (Advanced)
74
r
FR-7x V-Accordion
The parameters of the
“Free Bass Edit” group
apply to the bass section
when it is used in Free Bass
mode (see p. 27). They can
be saved to the selected Set.
See pages 62 and 63 for how to select and adjust the
parameters.
Press
[UP]
and
[DOWN]
simultaneously to select the
value that is indicated as “Default setting”. See also
“Introduction” on p. 65 for some general hints.
• All changes you make here apply to the last Free Bass
register you selected. So be sure to press the register
whose settings you wish to change before selecting
and editing any of the FREE BS EDIT parameters. You
can, however, decide to save your settings to a differ-
ent register (see below) if you realize that you’ve
been editing the wrong one.
• These parameters can only be selected when Free
Bass mode is active (page 27).
• See page 90 for how to select the note system for
Free Bass mode. That setting is shared by all Sets.
• See page 103 for how to save your changes. Also be
sure to read “Important remark about saving your
settings” on p. 64.
This parameter allows you to
transform the selected register
into a different instrument
and to assign different sounds
to each footage the register
plays.
Note:
You will notice that there are fewer options here than
for the Bass section. That’s because you cannot play chords in
Free Bass mode.
(1) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to
select the reed you wish to assign another sound
to. The options are: ALL, 16’, 8’
(2) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to
select a type (“instrument”).
The TYPE options are: Bandoneon, I-Folk, I-Folk2,
Classic, Cajun, Jazz, F-Folk, D-Folk, Organetto, F-Folk2,
Classic2, Studio, Tradition, Steierische, Trikitixa,
F-Jazz, Classic3, Bajan
Note:
Whenever you select “ALL” and set a different reed
type, the “4.4 Button Noise” and “4.5 Reed Growl” settings
are automatically adapted to the reed type you select here.
You may have to change those settings afterwards if you
wish to use different noise type.
The parameters on this page
are used in combination with
the parameters above. Here,
you decide which reeds should
be audible and how they
should be played. It is therefore on this page that you
specify whether the sounds you selected above will be
used.
(1) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to
select the reed you wish to assign another sound
to.
The options are: 16’, 8’
(2) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “STA-
TUS” parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to specify whether the selected reed should
sound and which bass buttons can be used to play
it.
The STATUS options are: Off (no sound), Low (the
lower half), High (upper half), Whole (all buttons).
These options allow you to program what keyboard
players would call a “split”. You can create several
nifty combinations, like “High” for 8’ and “Low” for
16’ (or vice versa), or “Whole” for 16’ (all buttons) and
“High” for 8’ (only the upper three rows).
Note:
Assigning the same partial “STATUS” (“High” or
“Low”) to both reeds means that only half the number of
available bass buttons can be used.
This is the last parameter that
can be set for each reed indi-
vidually. It allows you to cre-
ate the desired “mix” (volume
balance) for the active reeds.
(1) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “FOOT”
parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to
select the reed whose volume you want to set.
The options are: ALL (both reeds simultaneously), 16’,
8’
(2) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to
set the volume.
The setting range is: Off, –40~“STD”~40, Default set-
ting: STD.
Note:
The overall volume of the Free Bass section (all regis-
ters) can be changed using the
[BALANCE]
knob.
