10. Using Sets
Your FR-8x is a “virtual” accordion. It recreates the sounds of various
accordion instruments and can even generate orchestral sounds
(like trumpet, ute, etc.), organ and drum sounds.
There are 100 Set memories and some of them already contain
useful settings right out of the box. But you can replace them
with your own settings. (And if 100 Sets are not enough, you can
archive and load new sets using an optional USB memory) see “15.7
EXPORT” (p. 110) and “15.8 IMPORT” (p. 110).
The FR-8x has an extra Set memory called Working Area (W.A). This
area is used to load a Set linked to a User Program. See “14. Working
with User Programs” (p. 57).
What is a set?
Each set is a type of accordion.
When you change a set you change your
accordion into another accordion.
The FR-8x comes with dierent accordions
(sets) already programmed.
Obviously your “Virtual“ accordion is capable
of playing also orchestral, organ and drum
sounds
Design your own accordion.
Moreover you can change many parameters
designing your favorite accordion and save
them into a Set. See “How to Save a Set” (p.
42).
See “2. Accordion Edit Parameters” (p. 71) to
edit the accordion parameter.
How to Select Sets
Sequential Selection
1.
Use the SET [][] buttons.
The Set is recalled and the display shows:
In the above example the “002 CLASSIC” set was selected.
2. Again press a SET [][] button to select other sets.
MEMO
To select Sets you can use the Chin switches or the Function
switches opportunely programmed. See “13.4 Chin function” (p.
98) and “14.5 Function Switch” (p. 106).
Direct Selection (by number)
If you already know which Set you want to use, you can also select
it directly:
1. While the main page is displayed, press and hold the SET
[] or [] button.
The following pop-up window appears:
2. Use the right hand registers [1]~[10] to enter the number
of the desired Set.
The [10] register is used to enter the number “0”.
To select Set “1”, for instance, you need to press register [10], then
register [1]. To select Set “37”, rst press register [3], then register [7].
NOTE
If you only press one register ([5], for example), the FR-8x
automatically selects that Set after ±2 seconds.
How to Save a Set
The FR-8x has a memory that holds the data of all Sets, User
Program, Registers, Global settings, etc. You can change whatever
you need to change without worrying about saving your changes
until you are sure that you want to keep them. Be aware, however,
that all unsaved changes are lost when you switch o the FR-8x or
when it is turned o by the “AUTO OFF” function p. 106.
So be sure to save everything you want to keep at regular intervals.
1. Select all settings you would like to use for the new own
accordion.
You can, for instance, change a desired tone , reverb, chorus , reed
growl and so on. Please see ““Selecting Parameters” (p. 68)“.
2. Press and hold the [MENU/WRITE] button to jump to the
“Write” page.
The display shows the following page.
