The orchestral sounds that can be selected with the regis-

pressing [LEFT REGISTER] (it must go dark) and the
desired Bass register.
Orchestral sounds for the bass section and the
chord section
The FR-18 diatonic allows you to swiftly assign one
orchestral sound to the bass buttons, and another to the
chord buttons.
1. Press the [ORCH BASS] and/or [ORCH
CHORD] buttons (they will light).
2. Use the bass registers to select the desired
sound.
If [LEFT REGISTER] lights, you can select an orchestral
sound for the chord buttons (left-hand keyboard). If
it is dark, you can select an orchestral sound for the
bass buttons. Refer to the tables above for the sounds
you can select.
NOTE
The [LEFT REGISTER] button has no function when neither
the [ORCH BASS] nor the [ORCH CHORD] button lights.
Whenever you press [LEFT REGISTER], it changes to lit/dark.
The bass registers affect parts, depending on the status of the [ORCH BASS], [ORCH CHORD] and [LEFT REGISTER] buttons.
