[. . . ] But be sure to do so before selecting another Free Bass register or Set ­ and before switching the FR-7/FR-5 off. Note: You can only edit one Free Bass register at a time. If you select another register before saving the changes for the previously selected register (by selecting "NO"), those changes are erased. Do not switch to Bass or Orchestra Bass mode before deciding whether or not you want to save your changes. Similarly, do not switch off the FR-7/FR-5 or select another Set before saving settings you want to keep: save them first. 4. 1 Reed Type This parameter allows you to transform the selected register into a different instrument and assign different sounds to each footage the register plays. Note: You will notice that there are fewer options here than for the Bass section. That's because you cannot play chords in Free Bass mode. To save your changes: (1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob. The display now responds with: (2) If necessary, change the name of the Free Bass register you have just edited (you may want to enter the name of the "Reed Type" you selected). 39. · If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "FOOT" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the reed you wish to assign another sound to. The options are: ALL, 16, 8 · Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "TYPE" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a type ("instrument"). The TYPE options are: Bandoneon, Beltu, Beltu Amp, Buga, Cajun, Excels, Mauge, Morn, Organetto, Pierma, Pigi, Scanda, Sopra, Steierische, Trikitixa Note: Whenever you select "ALL" and set a different reed type, the "4. 4 Button Noise" and "4. 5 Reed Growl" settings are automatically adapted to the reed type you select here. You may have to change those settings afterwards if you wish to use different noise type. 47 FR-7/FR-5 V-Accordion Editing sounds | FREE BASS EDIT parameters 4. 2 Register The parameters on this page are used in combination with the parameters above. Here, you decide which reeds should be audible and how they should be played. It is therefore on this page that you specify whether the sounds you selected above will be used. · If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "FOOT" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the reed you wish to assign another sound to. The options are: ALL, 16, 8 · Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "STATUS" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to specify whether the selected reed should sound and which buttons can be used to play it. The STATUS options are: Off (no sound), Low (the lower half), High (upper half), Whole (all buttons). These options allow you to program what keyboard players would call a "split". You can create several nifty combinations, like "High" for 8' and "Low" for 16' (or vice versa) or "Whole" for 16' (all buttons) and "High" for 8' (only the upper three rows). Note: Assigning the same partial STATUS ("High" or "Low") to both reeds is a bit odd, because it leaves you with only half the number of active bass buttons. But it is possible. . . Note: Whenever you select "ALL" for "4. 1 Reed Type" and set a different reed type, this noise setting is automatically adapted to the reed type. It would therefore be a good idea to first select the reed type and only then change the noise type. 4. 5 Reed Growl This parameter allows you to simulate the typical noise a bass reed makes just before it stops vibrating altogether. Each instrument of the accordion family produces its own typical growl. The growl that matches the sound selected with "4. 1 Reed Type" probably yields the most realistic effect ­ but feel free to select another one if you like it better. · If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "TYPE" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select one of the available instrument types: Bandoneon, Beltu, Beltu Amp, Buga, Cajun, Excels, Mauge, Morn, Organetto, Pierma, Pigi, Scanda, Sopra, Steierische, Trikitixa · Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the "LEVEL" parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the volume of the Reed Growl parameter (­30~ "Std"~30). Note: Whenever you select "ALL" for "4. 1 Reed Type" and set a different reed type, this growl setting is automatically adapted to the reed type.
