The tempo of the FR-1’s educational songs can be changed to
your liking by proceeding as follows.
(1) Briefly press the
[SONG÷DEMO]

(2) Press and hold the

song selection level.
It flashes, and the register assigned to the last song you
selected lights.
Note:
The metronome is not available while the Song function is
used. If it is running while you switch on the Song function, it will
stop.
(3) Use registers
[1]

The first movement of the bellows starts the song after a
short while, subsequent moves allow you to control the
song’s volume (expression).

to decrease the tempo, or

fied tempo value.
To return to a song’s preset tempo, select it (see above) and
press the

The same is true of Free Bass systems. Your FR-1 contains
the most popular ones.
