Menu Options
86
Parameter Value Explanation
Rotary Snd
Chorus
0~127
Allows yo to specify the level of the
rotary signal that is transmitted to the
organ chorus eect.
Choose “0” if the sound should not
be processed by the organ chorus
processor.
Rotary Snd Delay 0~127
Allows yo to specify the level of the
rotary signal that is transmitted to the
organ delay eect. Choose “0” if the
sound should not be processed by the
organ delay processor.
8.4 Sound Edit (Not for VTW Organ Tone)
The following parameters allow you to set the
sound’s “envelope” and lters.
The envelope parameters aect both the volume
(TVA) and the lter (TVF). The cuto frequency
will rise as the envelope rises and will fall as the
envelope falls.

information.
DECAY –64~0~+63
See “5.5 Sound Edit” (p. 80) for detailed
information.
RELEASE –64~0~+63
See “5.5 Sound Edit” (p. 80) for detailed
information.
CUTOFF –64~0~+63
See “5.5 Sound Edit” (p. 80) for detailed
information.
DELAY –64~0~+63
This parameter adjusts the time required for
the vibrato eect to begin. Positive (+) settings
increase the time before vibrato will begin and
negative settings shorten the time
DEPTH –64~0~+63
See “5.5 Sound Edit” (p. 80) for detailed
information.
RATE –64~0~+63
See “5.5 Sound Edit” (p. 80) for detailed
information.
RESO –64~0~+63

information.
8.5 Controllers
These parameters further add to the realism of the
sounds emulated by your FR-8x.
Parameter Value Explanation
EXP PEDAL O, On
• Select “O” If you want to use the
bellows for expressive purposes.
• Select “On” if you want control the
expression by foot purchasing an
optional MIDI foot controller (e.g.
FC-300).
Parameter Value Explanation
ORCH BASS
TOUCH
Fixed Low, Fixed
Med., Fixed High,
Low, Medium, High,
Fixed Low+Bellows,
Fixed Med.+Bellows,
Fixed High+Bellows,
Bellows
This parameter allows you to specify
the velocity sensitivity of the Right
Hand section keys when they are
used to play Orchestral 1 sounds.
• There are three “Fixed” curves
that always use the same value,
no matter how hard or lightly you
press the keys (no dynamic control).
“Low” means that a low value is
used, “Med” represents a medium
value and “High” a high value.
• “Low”: means that even relatively
light key presses already allow you
to play loud notes.
• “Medium”: is in the middle of Low
and High.
• “High”: represents the most
responsive velocity curve that
requires a considerable amount of
strength for fortissimo notes, but
it also provides more expressive
options.
• “Heavy”: provides a greater variety
of nuances.
• “Fixed Low+Bellows“, “ Fixed
Med.+Bellows”, “ Fixed
High+Bellows”: mean that the
selected orchestral sound uses
xed velocity values but can also
be controlled by the bellows
movements.
• “Bellows”: means that the selected
orchestral sound is controlled by
the bellows movements not the
velocity values generated by the
keys.
NOTE
This parameter allows you to specify
the velocity sensitivity of the bass
and chord buttons when they are
used to play one of the orchestral
sounds. It has no eect on the VTW
Organ sounds.
NOTE
The “ORCH BASS TOUCH” parameter
does not act if the orchestral sound
selected can be controlled by
bellows only.
For details regarding these sounds
refer to the“Tone & Drum Kit List “
supplementary manual.
