(3)Use the Bass registers to select the desired sound.

While ORCH CHORD mode is active, you can assign a dif- ferent accordion register to the bass rows by pressing [LEFT¥REGISTER] (it must be dark) and the desired Bass reg- ister.

(4)Press the [ORCH¥CHORD] button again to return to nor- mal Chord mode.

■Using two different sounds for the Bass button key- board

The FR-2/FR-2b allows you to assign one orchestral sound to the bass rows of the button keyboard, and another to the chord rows, or to play one orchestral sound (bass or chords) and one accordion sound via the bass keyboard. Use the [ORCH¥BASS] B and [ORCH¥CHORD] C buttons to activate (button lights) or switch off (button dark) orchestral mode for the bass and/or chord rows.

To assign a different orchestral sound (or accordion regis- ter) to one of the two parts, you must assign the bass reg- isters to the desired section.

This is usually done automatically, but you can also use the [LEFT¥REGISTER] D button to switch between the two.

If [LEFT¥REGISTER] lights, you can select an accordion reg- ister or orchestral sound for the chord rows of the bass keyboard.

If it is dark, you can select an accordion register or orches- tral sound for the bass rows of the bass keyboard.

Note: The [LEFT¥REGISTER] button has no function when neither the [ORCH¥BASS] nor the [ORCH¥CHORD] button lights.
