10.6 Free Bass Mode

(Default setting: Minor 3rd) This parameter allows you to choose the note system used in Free Bass mode. We already men- tioned that there are a vast

number of accordion varieties. The same is true of Free Bass systems.

Your FR-7/FR-5 contains the 5 most popular ones (see the illustration). Be aware that the system you select here is only used when you activate the FR-7/FR-5’s Free Bass mode. It is of no consequence for the “regu- lar” Bass mode. See the illustration on page 71 for the note assignments.

Note: The FR-7/FR-5 is supplied with several reference caps designed to help you locate the bass buttons without looking at them. See also page 23.

10.7 Stereo Width

(–1~–63, Full, Default setting: –15) As stated on p. 15, much care has been taken to provide a natural stereo image for the accordion sounds. If you think

the stereo image is too wide for comfort (or if you pre- fer to set the Pan controls on your mixing console dif- ferently), you can use this parameter to reduce the ste- reo image.

“Full” means that the original stereo image is used, while “–63” corresponds to an extremely narrow stereo image. All other values represent slight (or increasingly drastic) reductions of the stereo width.
