8.5 Bass & Chord Mode
V-Accordion
r

■ Set 1~30—The selected footswitch can be used to recall
the specified Set (i.e. the Set whose number you choose).
Consider using “Set Up/Set Down” if you prefer to cycle
through all available Sets.
■ Register 1~14—The footswitch can be used to recall the
selected Treble register. That is why you must specify a
number here. Consider using “Regist Up/Regist Dwn” if you
prefer to cycle through all available registers.
8.5 Bass & Chord Mode
(Default setting: 2 Bass Rows)
This parameter allows you to
specify the number of button
rows for playing bass notes. The
default is 2 bass rows and 4
chord rows. By selecting “3 Bass Rows”, you thus gain
20 bass buttons (an entire row) and lose the “dim”
chord buttons – but that may just be more convenient
for you. See also the illustration below.
Note: The FR-7/FR-5 is supplied with several reference caps
designed to help you locate the bass and chord buttons without
looking at them. See also page 21.
8.6 Free Bass Mode
(Default setting: Minor 3rd) This
parameter allows you to choose
the note system used in Free
Bass mode. We already men-
tioned that there are a vast
number of accordion varieties. The same is true of Free
Bass systems.
Your FR-7/FR-5 contains the most popular ones. Be
aware that the system you select here is only used
when you activate the FR-7/FR-5’s Free Bass mode. It is
of no consequence for the “regular” Bass mode. See the
illustration on the next page for the note assignments.
Note: The FR-7/FR-5 is supplied with several reference caps
designed to help you locate the bass buttons without looking at
them. See also page 21.
8.7 Stereo Width
(Full, –1~–63, Default setting:
Full) As stated on p. 14, much
care has been taken to provide a
natural stereo image for the
accordion sounds. If you think
the stereo image is too wide for comfort (or if you pre-
fer to set the Pan controls on your mixing console dif-
ferently), you can use this parameter to reduce the ste-
reo image.
“Full” means that the original stereo image is used,
while “–63” corresponds to an extremely narrow stereo
image. All other values represent slight (or increasingly
drastic) reductions of the stereo width.
8.8 Auto Power OFF
(10 min, 15 min, 20 min, Default
setting: 10 min) This parameter
allows you to specify how long
the FR-7/FR-5 should wait
before deciding that you won’t
be using it for a while. If you have ever worked with a
computer, you may remember that a similar function is
called “sleep”, “energy saver” or the like.
Obviously, this is meant to preserve battery power and
so this function only applies when the FR-7/FR-5 is not
connected to the FBC-7. To “wake” the FR-7/FR-5 after
it has fallen asleep, press its [POWER] button.
Note: See p. 31 for how to recharge the battery.
