UTILITY parameters
The UTILITY group contains three kinds of parameters: those that keep you informed (to check the bat-
tery status), several parameters that allow you to copy settings and three parameters for archiving
your settings via MIDI. See pages 34 and 36 for how to select and adjust the parameters.
9.1 Battery Status
The FR-7 comes with a Ni-Mh
battery that allows you to use it
without connecting it to the
supplied FBC-7. The FR-5 pro-
vides the same battery compart-
ment as the FR-7, but the battery is an option. (As long
as you do not purchase such a battery, you need to
connect the FR-5 to the supplied FBC-7.)
Note: There is no “EDIT” page here, because there is no parame-
ter you can set.
Depending on how the FR-7/FR-5 is powered, the dis-
play shows one of the following messages:
This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 is powered by the battery in
its compartment. The battery icon
shows how much power is left.
It would be a good idea, however, to stop by this
page before you go on stage or start playing, because
what you see then might just convince you to use
the FBC-7.
This message means that the bat-
tery is being recharged by the
FBC-7. This is not something that is
performed automatically. You need
to connect the FR-7/FR-5’s “TO FBC-7” socket to the
“TO FR-7/FR-5 V-ACCORDION” socket on the FBC-7
and press the BATTERY CHARGER button (so that it
lights). The battery icon indicates the amount of
energy already available.
When the battery is fully charged, the display briefly
shows a “Recharge Complete” message.
While the FR-7/FR-5 is connected to the FBC-7, the
latter supplies the power to your V-Accordion (the
battery in the FR-7/FR-5’s compartment is therefore
bypassed). However, while the BATTERY CHARGER
button lights, the FR-7/FR-5 cannot be used, because
the FBC-7 “concentrates” on recharging the FR-7/
FR-5’s battery.
This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 contains a battery, which is
not used, because the FR-7/FR-5 is
connected to the FBC-7. The FBC-7
therefore supplies the power to your V-Accordion.
The battery icon nevertheless informs you about the
battery’s current charge.
This message means that the FR-7/
FR-5 contains no battery. It is con-
nected to the FBC-7, however (oth-
erwise you would not be able to
switch it on). In the case of an FR-5 without an
optional battery, this is the only message you’ll ever
see.
9.2 Copy ALL Effects
This parameter allows you to
copy the settings of all three
effects processors from one Set
to another. This may help you
save time, because the effects
processors contain an impressive number of parame-
ters. Careful: there are also parameters that allow you
to copy just the Reverb, Chorus or Delay settings. Do
not use this parameter if you only wish to reuse the
Reverb settings of another Set, for example.
(1) After selecting this page, press the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob until the following page appears:
(2) Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the Set whose
effects settings you wish to copy to the current
Set.
You cannot select another memory for “TO”, because
the FR-7/FR-5 always copies the effects settings to
the last Set you recalled.
(3) Press [MENU÷WRITE] to copy the settings.
The display confirms this operation:
