V-Accordion FR-18 diatonic
NOTE
This table is only an example of all available orchestral
sound sets, as every orchestral sound set is combined with
its corresponding accordion set. For the complete list,
please see “Sounds contained in the various Sets” on p. 60.
The orchestral sound section of your FR-18 diatonic
includes also 4 organ sounds, each with a slow/fast
rotary effect.
To select an organ sound:
1. Press the [ORCHESTRA/ORGAN] button
twice.
It flashes red to signal that you have entered organ
sound selection mode.
NOTE
If you press [ORCHESTRA/ORGAN] button a third time, the
treble registers will let you select accordion sounds again.
2. Use treble registers [1]~[4] to select the
desired organ sound.
You can press them either once or twice to choose
either the Slow or the Fast Rotary effect of the same
organ sound.
NOTE
Do not forget to move the bellows in order to hear the
notes you are playing.
3. Press the [ORCHESTRA/ORGAN] button
again to exit selection mode and go back to
the state where the treble accordion section
sounds.
Selecting the ORCHESTRA/ORGAN mode
The orchestral or organ sound assigned to the treble
section can be played in isolation or together with the
treble diatonic sound.
1. Press and hold [SET/SHIFT] while pressing
the [4] (DUAL/SOLO) treble register to alter-
nate between DUAL and SOLO modes.
In SOLO mode, the treble keyboard only plays the
selected accordion, orchestral or organ sound. DUAL
mode means that the orchestral or organ sound is
added to the treble accordion sound.
NOTE
If you hold down [SET] for more than 2 seconds without
pressing another register, the FR-18 diatonic switches to
Function mode. In that case, press [SET] again to leave that
mode, then repeat step (1).
NOTE
Each time you switch on your FR-18 diatonic, it selects
SOLO mode.
