2. TREBLE EDIT parameters

The parameters of the TREBLE EDIT group apply to the Treble section and are saved to the selected Set. They allow you to build your own (virtual) accordion. After setting these parameters, you probably also need to adjust the BASS EDIT or FREE BS EDIT parameters (which are also saved to the Set). See pages 38 and 40 for how to select and adjust the parameters.

Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to select the value that is indicated as “Default setting”.

Introduction

While familiarizing yourself with and using the follow- ing parameters, try to think of yourself as an accordion manufacturer. The first parameters in this group indeed rely on the power of Roland’s “virtual” technology (called “PBM” or “Physical Behavior Modeling”) and are in fact a warehouse with all kinds of accordion compo- nents from which you can build your personal accor- dion or to customize an existing “model”.

Though experimenting with the available options may teach you a lot about usable sound combinations, always start out by asking yourself questions like: “Does it sound OK?”, “Does it make sense for a Cajun accor- dion to use a Bandoneon valve noise?”, etc.

Another piece of advice is the following: after spending two hours programming a new register, save it, take a break, then listen to it again (or even wait until the next day). Also try it in combination with the other registers/ sections and even instruments (if you play in a band).

Important note

All changes you make here apply to the last Treble reg- ister you selected. So be sure to press the register ([1]~ [14]) whose settings you wish to change before select- ing and editing any of the TREBLE EDIT parameters. You can, however, decide to save your settings to a different register (see below) if you realize that you’ve been edit- ing the wrong one.

(2)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your selection.

(3)Use the [DATA÷ENTER] knob or the [UP]/[DOWN] buttons to specify what you want to save: Current: The register you are currently editing.

Currnt + The register you are currently editing as

SCom:	well as the Set Common settings
	(page 63).
ALL	All registers. This is probably the safest
	bet, because it ensures that no Treble reg-
	ister will be forgotten. (It is perfectly pos-
	sible to edit several registers without sav-
	ing them.)

(4)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to confirm your selection.

Depending on what you chose in step (3) above, the

display now looks as follows:

If you selected “Current” or	If you selected “ALL”
“Curnt+SCom”

Saving your changes

Any changes you make can be saved using the WRITE function. Though there is no need to save your changes right after performing them, please bear in mind that they will be lost in the following cases:

•When you select another Set

•When you switch off the FR-7/FR-5

Changes you want the FR-7/FR-5 to remember must be saved as soon as possible. Here is how:

(1)Press and hold the [MENU÷WRITE] button until the following page appears:

This is the page we need, so you don’t need to scroll through the available options.

→ Skip to step (7)

(5)Enter a name for the register you are about to save.

This is only necessary if you don’t agree with the name that appears in the display.

•Select the character position (indicated by a dark square) by pressing [UP] (previous character), [DOWN] (next character) or the [DATA÷ENTER] knob (next character).

•Turn the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the desired character.

•Press [UP] and [DOWN] simultaneously to erase the currently selected character (it will become a space). Example: To replace the “s” in “Celeste” with a space (“Cele te”), position the cursor on the “s” and simulta- neously press [UP]/[DOWN].
