Right Hand Orchestra Part Parameters (Orchestra Edit)
The parameters of the “OrchEdit (Orchestra Edit)” group are
settings for the right hand orchestra part.
The parameters can be saved to the selected Set.
&
“Selecting Tones and Playing with the Right Hand” (p. 21)
&
“Selecting Parameters” (p. 44)
NOTE
These parameters can only be selected if the Orchestra
section is activated ([ORCHESTRA] button indicator lights).
Introduction to Orchestra Parameters
These settings apply to the sound of the register that is selected
for the orchestra part.
Before you select a parameter and begin editing it, press the
RIGHT HAND [ORCHESTRA] button to turn on the orchestra part,
and then press a right hand register button [1/8]–[7/14] 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).
