Kindly take note of the following
The following functions have been added or changed as a result of a system software update for both FR-1 models (with a piano-
type or button-type treble keyboard).
Bass-to-Treble mode
The FR-1 also provides a mode in which it can be used like a
bassoon accordion. In this mode, the bass part is played with
the right hand. The bass and chord buttons are inactive (a
real bassoon accordion doesn’t have bass/chord buttons and
can only be played with one hand).

to select the desired bass-to-
treble sound.
These sounds are not the same as the ones you can usually
select with the bass registers. (The bass registers cannot be
used in this mode.)
There are 4 accordion sounds and 4 orchestral sounds that
can be selected with the
[ORCHESTRA÷ORGAN]
button

Notes regarding Bass-to-Treble mode
In Bass-to-Treble mode…
•The bass & chord part (left hand) is not available (the bass
& chord buttons do nothing).
•The accordion volume (registers
[1]
~
[4]
) can be set with the
“Treble/Bass & Chord Balance” parameter; the orchestral
bass volume (registers
[1]
~
[4]
) is set with the “Orchestra
Bass Level” parameter.
•The FR-1 transmits and receives Bass-to-Treble messages
on MIDI channel “2”.
•The following functions are
not
available:
Free Bass mode & sounds
The FR-1 also provides a Free Bass mode. A free-bass system
on an accordion allows performers to play melodies and their
own chords with their left hand. In this “free” mode, each
left-hand button therefore only triggers one note. The avail-
able range covers three octaves or even more.
