Introduction to Bass Parameters

These parameters apply to the sound of the register that is

selected for the bass & chord part.

Before you select a parameter and begin editing it, press the LEFT

HAND [BASS & CHORD] button to turn on the bass & chord part,

and then press a left hand register button to select the sound

that you want to edit.

NOTE

The FR-4x internal memory (temporary area) remembers your settings

while the FR-4x is switched on. While editing, there is no absolute need

to save your settings. Be aware, however, that all changes are lost when

the FR-4x is switched off .

See “How to Save a Set” (p. 33) to save your changes.

Also be sure to read “Important Remark About Saving Your

Settings” (p. 45).
