2.14 Orchestra Chord Link (Advanced)

V-Accordion

Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the “Orchestra Link” function,
you need to press and hold down the

[ORCHESTRA]

[5]

. (By default, “Orchestra

Link” is on.)

Note:

Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the

orchestral sound does not change right away). You need to
select another treble register whose “Orchestra Link” func-
tion is on for the link to work.

Repeat this procedure to defeat the Orchestra Link
function if you no longer need it (or assign “CANCEL”
to another Treble register and press it).

Note:

You can specify that this function should be acti-

vated automatically each time you switch the FR-7x on.
See “10.13 Start-Up” on p. 92.

2.14 Orchestra Chord Link

This parameter that allows you
to specify which Orchestra
Chord or Orchestra Free Bass
sound is selected whenever
you press the treble register
you are currently editing.

The Orchestra Chord and Orchestra Free Bass sections
are mutually exclusive (there are no chord buttons in
Free Bass mode).

• CHORD-FREE BS:

No Link, name of the selected 1~7 register (the FR-7x
allows you to name each register)
The options depend on the “2.12 Bass Link” setting,
because the ORCH CHORD and ORCH FREE BASS sec-
tions are not always available:

“Bass” and “Free Bass” are two different (and mutu-
ally exclusive) modes. In “Free Bass” mode, all bass
buttons play bass accordion sounds, so that the
“CHD” options wouldn’t make sense. That is why you
cannot even select them.

Similarly, when “Bass” mode is activated (by selecting
one of the seven Bass registers for “2.12 Bass Link” on
p. 68), the Orchestra Free Bass sounds cannot be
used. That is why you cannot even select them here.

Conversely, since “2.12 Bass Link” determines what’s
possible or not, changing that parameter may correct
your “2.14 Orchestra Chord Link” setting.

For this reason, we recommend that you first set
2.12 Bass Link “BASS” (if you need it), and only then
“2.14 Orchestra Chord Link”.

Note:

The 2.12 Bass Link “ORC.BASS” setting does not

influence the options available for “2.14 Orchestra Chord
Link”.

Note that this automatic link is not activated when
you define it on this page – it is merely enabled and
“pre-set”. To activate the “Orchestra Chord Link”
function (which also applies to the Orchestra Chord
or Orchestra Free Bass sections), you need to press
and hold down the

[ORCHESTRA]

[4]

. (By default, “Orchestra Chord Link” is on.)

Note:

Simply activating the link does nothing at all (i.e. the

Orchestra Chord or Orchestra Free Bass sound does not
change right away). You need to select another treble reg-
ister whose “Bass Link” function is on for the link to work.

Note:

The Orchestra Chord and Orchestra Free Bass Link

functions need to bee activated/deactivated using the
“Bass Link” procedure. There is no separate switching func-
tion for the Orchestra Chord or Orchestra Free Bass section.

Repeat this procedure to defeat the Bass Link func-
tion if you no longer need it (or assign “CANCEL” to
another Treble register and press it).

On the main page, links are indicated as by means of
white arrows:

High M

Is similar to High mode. Here, however,
you can switch Low mode on and off
using the Master bar.

Low.M Trb

Is similar to Low Trb mode. Here, however,
you can switch Low Trb mode on and off
using the Master bar.

Hi.M Trb

ever, you can switch High Trb mode on
and off using the Master bar.
